open. My wife, daughter, and myself
were sitting at the table about to be-
gin the belated meal when we were
startled by terrific commotion in
the parlor followed by crash in the
sitting room and the instantaneous
disappearance of our roast lamb
through the window. Jumping up in
establishment rushed to the window
only to observe neighbours dog scoot-
ing around the corner of the house
with our roast In his mouth. CHANGING
downwards I discovered a baseball.
The mystery was explained. The
sphere had been driven over the ball
ground fence, had struck in the middle
of the street, had rebounded into our
parlor. demolished a motto on the
wall, banged into the sitting room and
broke vase, then travelled into the
dining room and knocked the roast
through the window. l tell you that
ball had terrific power behind it."

Not long ago the Man was seated
at the breakfast table with visiting
clergyman who was soon to take
morning train. The conversation lead
from one thing to another until finally
1.-The man of cloth entered upon a dis
cussion of the many demoralizing in
! fuences surrounding the newspaper
mans life and in rather pointed re-
remarks made no hesitation to express
rather unfav0rable opinion of the fra
ternity SO far as morals go. He was
little inclined to take seriously the
statement that the boys" many of
them attend church and are, generally
speaking, about like the ordinary run
of people, barring perhaps ministers
of the gospel. The Man admitted that
1t was rather "demoralizing" to sit up
at night and grind out copy or rehashz
some pulpit effusion to be published
In the paper the next day in order
that the dear people might be satisfied
and ample justice done the many I'M
deniable virtues of the good man who
was author of the sage advice to others
in the sermon mentioned. The life of
the newspaper man is not strewn with
rosies, in fact it is a thankless grind,
and his only reward is that rather
vague and uncertain sentiment, public
approval; but at the same time the
Man was inclined to resent the in
timatiOns of the esteemable man of
lcloth that the press gang are any
worse than others-and, who of them
will not second this?
If there is any man who has an in
exhaustible supply of English always
at his disposal and who can read it off
by the yard that is Will .Grohosky, the
popular tobacco salesman who makes
this territory.and is considered as one
Of the best all-around fellows and sue
