 The fire district committee is be- ing censured by a few of the voters of the district on account of the vote at the special meeting held on Tues day evening when it was voted to remove all arc lights but one and replace them with incandescent.

Retaliation.

A man who was a guest at one of the summer resorts in West Virginia tells of a wedding ceremony he wit messed in the town near by.
 The minister was young and easily embarrassed. It was the first wedding he had ever undertaken. The prospec- tive bride and groom were both youn- ger and still more easily embarrassed than he.
 When the minister had finished the service and muttered few kindly but haIting words to the young couple he had just united the bride looked at him. blushing. but confident.
 Thank yer" she said clearly. ''It's shore kind O yer to congratulate us, an as long as you haven't ever been married yit maybe we'll have a chance some day to retaliate." Harper's Weekly.

Applyinq the Test.

"There was a barber in an Indiana city who, having been out late the night before, had Il shaky hand the next morning and cut patrons cheek four times," said the man who insist ed he saw the incident. "After each accident the barber said as he spong- ed away the blood, oh, dear me, how careless!' and laughed and let it go at that.
 "The patron took all those gashes in grave silence, but when the shave was over he filled glass at the water cooler, took a mouthful of water and, with compressed lips, proceeded to shake his head from side to side and to toss it up and down.
 "'What is the matter? the barber asked. You ain't got the toothache, have you?
 "'No,' said the customer. I only just wanted to see if my mouth would still hold water without leaking, that was all.' '"-Philadelphia Record.

East Indian Enalish.

Here is part of an actual speech de. livered in an East Indian court of law by a pleader: What they say is very. If not most. ridiculously absurd to be- lleye. Indeed. 1t is incredulous. They say that the blood flew. and they did nothing to put the wounded into ease. This, sir. is lie. an unmitigated lie, or. rather. falsehood or fable or story or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a terminal exactItude. These buffaloes never used to graze on the field, which is not actually even proper grazing meadow. The destination which they started was half a mile from tho exposure to which they went. Unless they did rot ride on lightning horses, how could they reach to that premises in five minutes? Can any man-idiot even-will not believe such stupid concoctation."

. Envy.


 'I wish I were strong and healthy and magnificent as that man over there," sighed the delicate, thin man, "but, then, it isn't worth while to envy people, to envy anybody, in this old world. I had friend once who was taller than he and finer and more mag nifcent, man of splendid physique. You'd think, to look at him. that he would have lived forever, but he Is dead now. Died of some slight trou- ble of indigestion that a delicate man might have lived through, and this is all have left to remind me of him, this ring with this handsome intaglio. It is almost priceless to me and, in fact, almost priceless of itself. Intag- lios are very rare these days. This is exceedingly rare. Some time I will send you letter and seal it with the ring, so you can have the intaglio also to remind you that it isn't worth while to envy anybody in this old world.'- New York Press.

Another Reason.

An English clergyman visiting in this country told of a jilting that had happened in his parish. He said that he had an appointment to marry couple at on a certain afternoon. He appeared duly. and the bride appeared, but not the bridegroom. The clergy man and the lady, silent and embar- rassed, waited in the quiet church from 4 till G. Then they sadly depart ed. A week later the same couple wrote to the clergyman again, ap- pointing another afternoon at 4 for the ceremony. And again the clergy man and the bride were on hand duly, and again the groom failed to turn up. As the two waited time passed slowly in the stil, and empty church. It grew darker. Five o'clock sounded, then 6. And then the bride broke the silence with a fierce ejaculation.
 "Drat himr' she cried. "'Tain't his trousers this time, cause I bought him a pair"

When Bismarck was in London in 1S43 he was invited to visit the famous brewery of Barclay & Perkins, and his hosts, having heard of his reputation as a beer drinker of great prowess, presented to him an enormous tankard of old ale, in the confident expectation that he would be obliged to admit him. self vanquished by it.

Her Shoes Said to Be an Index to
 Her Character.
 If you want to know whether a girl is slovenly or not look at her heels," said the wise woman to the young man who was contemplating matrimony. "Her gown may be pret, ty, her hat becoming, her neckwear trim and neat and her gloves well ft- ting, but if her heels are run over look out for her. Her trimness in other re- spects simply denotes that she is neat spasmodically, that she will make an effort to keep things tidied and in or der only when she is urged to or be- cause she has some special provoca- tion. But by nature she is slack The man that marries girl with perpetu. ally run over heels will find her com ing to the breakfast table as soon as the honeymoon is over in a tumbled kimono and with her hair in curl pa- pers. She never will be @ good house. keeper.
 "On the other hand, I've seen girls who maybe did not have such a trin, appearance, whose hair was apt to De a little flying. but whose heels rested firmly on the ground, and never did discover they were in the slovenly class. Maybe they were not careful enough of outward appearances, but they kept their buttons sewed on, rips repaired, spots sponged off and their rooms in immaculate order" = Ex- change.
