An amusing story of the late Mrs. Craigie, the noted novelist, was told the other day at the Authors Club in New York.
 When Mrs. Craigie was in Amer 1ca last year, said the editor, .she was invited to make an address at a certain meeting She accepted Athe invitation, but her name through 11me oversight, was put far down .a4the program, and worse than -n n-the chairman, rather stupid person, introduced before her some speakers who were not on the pro- fram at all.
 ''In short, it was close to II o'clock when the chairman, with a pleasant smile, bowed and said:
 Mrs. Craigie, the eminent au- thor of Some Emotions and a Moral," will now give us her ad- dress.
 Mrs. Craigie arose and said calmly:
 My address is 56 Lancaster. Gate, Hyde Park, w., London, and l now wish you all good night, for l am far from home.' "-Harper's weekly.

Such ldiOcy.

Such reasoning" said Gen. F. D. Grant in military argument, reminds me of the reasoning of old Corporal Sandhurst.
 Corporal Sandhurst was one day drilling a batch of raw recruits.
 Why is it, he said to bright looking chap, that the blade of your saber is curved instead of straight
 :. The blade is curved the re cruit answered, in order to give more force to the blow
 Nonsense,' said the corporal. The blade is curved so as to fit the scabbard. If it was straight, how would you get it into the curved scabbard, you idiot?'" - Lippin- cotts.

DUAL FUNERALS ON SUNDAY.
Funeral Sermon Will Take Place of
Regular Sunday Sermon.


The double funeral OF the two little
children of Mrs. August Haase, whose
deaths within five hours of each other
was such a distressing incident, will
be held from St Pau's Lutheran
church Sunday morning at 1890
o'clock and the funeral sermon deliv-
cred by the pastor Rev. ]. White, will
take the place of the regular Sunday
sermon.
Mr.. Witte has been under such a
severe strain for some weeks that he
is pretty nearly exhausted. For some
time he was out in the rough weather
assisting in raising the $4,000 fund
with which to erect a fine new church
building, and since then he has been
called upon to deliver so many funeral
sermons of his congregation who have
been called from this world, that he
has been pretty nearly i'll.
The sad deaths of her little children
has been a severe blow to Mrs. Haase,
and her friends feel that she has had
much more than her share of grief
during the past few months.
