EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
This Servant Girl Was Evidently a
Person of Resource.

AS q source Of humor the Irish SER
want girl has long since fallen from
her high estate, a result probably due
to the better class of young women
from the Emerald Isle who come here
annually to help confuse the eternal
servant girl question" But now. and
again one Of the old, naively ignorant
sort turns up in a New York house
hold, as was demonstrated the other
day to caller at a house on the West
Side.
The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at
home. To this inquiry she surprised
the caller by putting her arms behind
her back and replying in a rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: Put tn tickets in me
mouth, ma'am, an I'll go an see. Me
hands is wet."-N Y. Press.

EIGHT Eliqhts Up.

When the first fire company, in re-
spouse to an alarm, reached the long
row of tenements, the fire captain at
once jumped from his engine and en-
deavored to locate the fire. When he
had Intellectually hunted through three
or four structures for it, he described
an old woman sticking her head out OF
a window of the topmost floor of an
eight-story tenement, a little farther
up the street.
ANY fire up there?" he yelled,
when he had reached the pavement
beneath this building.
In answer the old woman motioned
for him to come up.
Accordingly. the captain, with his
men Juggling their heavy hose behind
them, laboriously assembled the eight
flights and burst into the room where
the Old woman was.
Where's the fire." demanded the
captain, when no fire nor smoke be-
came visible.
ooh, there amt none here" replied
the old woman, flashing an ear-trum-
pet. ~ asked y up cause l couldn't

UP TREE TO ESCAPE TioRess.
Unexpected Meeting on Jungle Faith
way in India.

| was patrolling the jungle paths
between two of my chowkies, accom-
panied by my jemadar, and on APP
preaching an exceptionally thick patch
we were startled by hearing a tiger
roar almost at our feet, says writer
In the Madras Mail. | coughed pretty
loudly to let him know that we were
near, but judging by the growls he
was disposed TO dispute the right of
way.
AS We were unarmed swift retreat
was the only way to escape the dan
ger. | soon found a tree, up which I
skinned" till some 20 feet from the
ground, but on looking round for my
jemadar, | found he was making
frantic efforts to climb one, but slipped
to the bottom after each endeavor.
So | called him to my perch, and had
just hauled him up when a fine tigress
emerged from the jungle, followed by
two small cubs.
She passed under our tree and
sauntered into the thicket, but reap
peared few minutes later, without
the cubs, and remained watching us
for some time, apparently considering
If it was worth while to claw us off
our perches. After some embarrass-
ing moments productive of the bluest
OF funks she disappeared, and my jem-
adar, who had been dumb while the
interview lasted, found his voice and
gave tongue to the most agonizing yells
to the rest of our party, who were
close behind, to come to our assist
ance.
No one, however, appeared, and it
is well they did not, as the tigress
would probably have attacked them.
After remaining in the tree for an
hour or so we descended and saw no
more of our unwelcome visitor.

Domestic Cleared Everything Left
Over Out of the Ice Box.

There recently entered the service
of a Cleveland family domestic of
Scandinavian origin. She had never
seen. a refrigerator before, and the
LADY, shhnse, after initiating her
intos its &,ys,eries, instructed her
never to leave, anything old or left
over in the ice-box, but to keep the
refrigerator perfectly clean and fresh
by throwing the old things away each
morning.
The very next day the mistress,
looking out Of the window, observed
something peculiar in the yard.
What is that, Sophie?" she asked.
"And how did it get there?"
THAT is old ice, ma'am," was the
proud response, left over from yes.

"Why, you goose! If you had an

And the next day he hustled around

HIS TURN TO CRlTiClSE.
Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest
Disapproval of Prayer.

Little John, who, at the mature age
of four, has learned the Lords Prayer,
is often criticised by his sister, two
years older, for slight mistakes which
he cannot always avoid in Offering the
petition. A few Sundays ago he was
taken to church for the first time.
When the moment for the prayer ar
rived and the congregation bowed
their heads Johns mother took the
'precaution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. Listen" she
said, land you viii hear the minister
pray" This interested John at once,
and his little face took on look of
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly, saw his ex-
preston change presently to one of
surprise and disapproval. A few min
utes more, and he could stand it no
longer. What could this man be say
ing? Not a word of the prayer did
he recognize as the only formula he
had ever heard called by that name.
why, mother" he exclaimed, in a
tone audible over nearly half the
church. "do you hear? He isn't say
ing it right at ALL"

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact Of it's superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities 1t possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
a large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government CIV
ing 160 acres free, and entry may be

ment Agent will give you the partic-

Your correspondent has just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik,
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made in the first part of
this letter.

CAUGHT Whiskers in Safe.

In locking his safe the other night
prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut, catching the end Of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-
cred about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by locksmith.
