Impudence Of Hoi PolIoi.

A noted English artist was standing
at the edge of the road, waiting for his
horse, and he was dressed in his
usual peculiar style-mustard!colo
riding suit, vivid waistcoat and bright
red tie. A man, who had evidently
been reveling, happened to lurch
round the corner of the street. He
stared at the famous artist for min
ute in silence, then he touched his cap
and asked in tone of deep commiser-
alton, BEG pardon, guv'nor, was you
in mournin' for anybody?'

a trip to New York, and there visited
a gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble 1t was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in a group of two.
