Provocation Enouuh.

A deaf old gentleman dined with a
family where grace was always said.
When the guests were seated the host
bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse In a subdued,
reverent tone.
"Eh? What's thatY' demanded the
deaf old gentleman, who sat beside
him.
The host smiled patiently and began
again in louder, more deprecatory
voice.
"Speak little louder. l don't catch
what you say" the old gentleman per-
sisted
A low ripple of laughter went around
the table The host, his face crimson
with embarrassment, raised his voice
and repeated the verse The deaf gen
tleman did his best to hear, but failed.
He placed one hand upon his hosts
arm.
"What did you say?" he demanded
irascibly.
Blast it, I'm saying grace" he
snapped.-Lippncott's Magazine.
