His Poor Excuse.

When President Hadley, OF Yale,
was professor of political science
there, SAYS the New York Tribune, a
student offered him a poor excuse for
a bad examination paper.
Prof. Hadley listened TO the excuse
in silence. Then he said. with a grim
smile, That excuse is about as poor
as the one criminal lawyer offered
for his client in case that had gone
hard with him.

A RoYaI COMPANY.

An amusing incident once occurred
when an American vessel was lying at
anchor in the bay of Naples, and was
visited by the king of Italy with his
suite.
One of the members of the suite,
brave in a cooked hat and uniform,
with sword at his side, and fierce
mustache, says Youths Companion,
was exploring the ship, and unfor'
tunately leaned against the main
hatch wind sail, which he mistook for
a mast.
The officer of the deck was informed
of the ensuing catastrophe by the boat

Come to Coneressman's Idea.

Some years ago Lemuel Ely Quigg
than congressman, expressed the
opinion that the police commissioner
of New York city should be IAN in
telligent despot." The idea was ridi
cued then, but Mr. Quigg derives
some satisfaction from the knowledge
that the grand jury of New York coun
ty has made recommendation ap
preaching somewhat closely to his
view. The commissioner, says the
Jury, should hold office for at least ten
upon proof Of charges which he has
had opportunity to meet.

monia and consumption originate from
a cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis,

waited and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. Do not risk your life Or
take chances when you have a cold.

of reputation back Of it, gained by its
