"Not yit," he said.

An Episcopal rector travelling in the South met a native also, by his own profession, an Episcopalian.
 "Who confirmed you?" asked the rec tor.
 'Nobody. Whats that?7

WRESTLING OLE

The Ketchikan Journal gives the fol- lowing account of what happened to "Whistling Ole" we'll known charac- ter on Douglas Island for number of years:
 On complaint of Dr. M. II. Hopkins, Deputy Marshal A. G. Shoup arrested Olaf Johnson lWhistling OleI, charged with being insane. On Monday he was tried before Judge Stackpole and a jury.
 Dr. M. M. Hopkins was examined and gave in detail facts which had come to him regarding the conduct of the un- fortunate man and he gave it as his opinion that bis mind was impared and that be should be cared for in an asyl- um.
 Dr. J. l.. Myers, who had given the prisoner a careful examination previ- ous to the trial was called to testify and said in substance that the patient in answer to questions propounded and in examination showed no mental de- rangement nor was any history of mental trouble discovered. However, in the evidence set forth, his loquacity, moodiness and general conduct for several months, and especially the fact that periodically for years be has been an excessive drinker showed dipsomcn- ia which is a special degenerated type of alcoholic insanity. This, he thought, demanded treat ment in sanitarium. After all witnesses had been examined the jury brought in verdict of insani- ty and Judge Stackpole ordered him sent to the sanitarium at Mount Tabor, Ore. Deputy Marshal Shoup will take him to the asylum on the Jefferson.

Some little girls were boasting of their respective families. They had passed from clothes to personal ap- pearance and finally came to parental dignity. The minister's little girl boasted:

 And every package that comes for my papa is marked M. D." retorted the daughter of the physician.
 Then followed look of contempt from the youngest of the party. " HuhF' she exclaimed. Every package that comes to our house has three letters on it: c. o. D."
