MORGAN AND THE SUFFERER.
Former Relaxed at the Clever Retort
Of the Latter.

A young reporter on the New York
Sun, who suffered fearfully, was sent
M day to try to get a statement from
Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan.
"Who and what are you?" demanded
Mr.. Morgan.
In moments Of surprise or nervous
excitement the reporters stammerlns
always became acute, so he stood with
jaws locked, vainly trying to speak.
Mr.. Morgan began to fume, and
finally he sputtered:
What in the devil are you?"
The reporters sense of humor did
not share the clogging up of his
speech, and, after much facial con
t%ortion, he managed to gurgle out:
~"I-I-I-aaaaam an elocutionist."
Mr.. Morgan saw the joke, he grim
ly relaxed and when the reporters
observation-disclosures returned he got
the MISUNDERSTANDING Evening
Post.

Strange Story Of 4 title Deed.

A remarkable story was told at the
Easter vestry meeting at Wimborne
Minister, Dorsetshire, according to the
London Tribune.
1t vas stated that the document re-
garding the payment of los. Cd. year
ly to a clergyman to preach a Good
Friday sermon at Holt Chapel-of-Ease
was missing from the parish chest un-
til some time ags. This iced was re-
covered by the merest chance.
A sister of the vestry clerk bought
a drum az Thame fair for her chill
dren, the toy being marked MADE In
Germany" Subsequently the drum
was broken and an examination Of the
parchment showed 1t to be the original
title deed setting forth the conditions
governing the payment for the Good
Friday sarmon

He hit out pretty hard from the Shout

The willow was used for the

is commonly supposed TO be the
tree upon which Judas hanged
himself, and it is not even to be
touched as firewood. However, it

fungus that grows on the elder and

WORK MAKES MEN.

Work makes men. Luck usually
fails. Pluck nearly always wins.
To succeed in anything n must
overcome Obstacles. Force and
fibre are built by hardships. Grit
is as necessary in the making of a
man as gumption. Hard ships are
not always handicaps. Often they
are helps. You will understand
this better in twenty years. Mean
while permit n who has lived
that twenty years and more, to
advise you in this. Hang onto
your job until you are sure of a
better one. Dependable boys are
in demand, and no boy can be de-
pended upon who does not finish
the task he sets his hand to do.
However disagreeable our work,
do it thoroughly. Do it better than
the averageboy will do it. In that
way you will come to be known
as a dependable boy. And mind
you this: Men everywhere are
looking for capable, honest, gritty,
dependable boys. The sooner you
let people know that you are that
kind of a boy, the sooner you will
get a better job. And don't be in
a hurry to give up the work you
already have. Be sure something
better is offered. Wait a while.
Do your work we'll. Promotion
will come. And do not envy the
boy who has an easy time. You
would much better pity him. He
has a good time now, but some
day he must 'make good" With
his daby muscles and his easy
habits and his many wants he
stands a far poorer chance than
you. Remember above all, young
fellow, you + making a man OF
yourself

South China is being covered with

Every school teaches physical and

numbers Of temples, often every tenn

Confucian temple, are being converted

A CaIumny on Anglers.

1--WE fishermen" said Havelock Nor
ton, C~alifornia's famous fly caster, "are
continually being accused of intemper-
ance. The accusation is false. No
Incorporate man could ever cast a fly.
Yet yesterday a friend of mine had
the effrontery to say to me:
"'You fishermen! You fishermen!'
whats the matter now?' I asked
scornfully.
with a chuckle he declared that,
out walking in the country, he had
met an angler beside a brook and had
said to the man:
How can you tell the good places
from the bad when you come to a
stream?'
"'By the bottles the man answered.
Wherever the most empty bottles are
scattered is the best place."

Famous Corps Disbanded.

The Bank of England Rifle Volun.
teer Corps, which was established in
1875, primarily for the defense of the
bank premises, was by an order of
the British war Office recently dis.
banded, as the corps, which was main.
tanned at the expense of the bank
authorities, was not considered nee.
essary. At night the bank premises
are protected by a military guard. The
corps has been under the command OF
Capt. H. 8. inman for nearly six years
and out of the total strength of 95
officers and 70 so made themselves
efficient. This was the only single
company corps in Great Britain.

Then and Now.

In the days Of old when knights
were bold and wore sheetiron shirts
and vests, they battled for the right
to hold fair maidens to their manly
breasts. They went to war and risked
their lives to get the girls they wished
to win, and when they'd claimed them
as their wives supported them through
thick and thin. But i'm these days
when every man appears to think he
ought to try to get as wealthy as he
can, and love is something he can
buy, his wife's a partner that he takes
in bizness for a gear or two; then one
or else the other breaks the ties and
looks for something new.

ENCOURAGEMENT.

1t is a great mistake to take a good
action performed by some n else as
a matter of course. If people would
but realize that they are better served
when they themselves are kind and
considerate the world would be the
better.
Never be too careless or too SUI
perior to give a word of praise, for q
word of encouragement has the effect
of a tonic upon dropping spirits and
adds a new incentive to the worker.
Of course, injudicious praise is a
mistake, but if work is badly done try
to find some good point about 1t or
point out the mistakes as kindly as
possible.

Washineton,s Irish Army.

In a volume just issued by a Man
haitian publisher, statistics compiled
by the cleric author indicate among
other data that three-fourths of Wash
ington's army contained only Irish
men or those of Hibernian descent.
The statement is made that authorita-
tive records prove that In a single
regiment upward of $50 fighters each
bore the Christian name, Patrick.
The claim Is also set forth that Gen.
Warren, of Bunker Hill fame, came Of
Celtic ancestry.

THE HOLY CITY.

The beauty of the Holy Land at
this season and the peculiar cere-
monies enacted in the oriental
churches combine to draw to the
Holy City pilgrims and tourists
from every corner of the earth to
witness these interesting celebra-
tions. No other city in the world
presents SO cosmopolitan an ap-
pearance as Jerusalem does at
this time. Russians, Latins, Copts,
Armenians, Syrians, all gather in
large numbers in the Holy City
for this week. The Russians, to
whom Easter is the greatest fes-
tivity of the year are represented
in large numbers. They walk
wearily over long distances attired
in the quaint Russian garb, carry
ing their provisions in knapsacks
on their backs. They suffer many
discomforts on their long pilgrim
age in the hope of thus winning
eternal salvation for themselves or
for the wealthy penitents in whose
proxy they come. They belong
to the Oriental Greek church. AS
they proceed through the country
their melodious singing fills the
air.

Every parent should feel to the
greatest extent the responsibility
of training their little ones; they
should know that their character
must be shaped, their lives must
60 on; only one foundation can be
laid, only one structure built; but
the building must go up, and par
ents are generally responsible for
its merit. How prayerfully we
ought to strive to help them lay
such a foundation on earth that
their structure may be projected
beyond the stars.

Most Of the people one knows are In
