A Little Gard Trick.

A Russian priest was 50 devoted to
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services
On one occasion, having a particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re-
turn and Snish the game after the
service. Cnluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor. to the extreme
scandal Of the congregation. The wit
ty priest, however. was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion OF the
service he beckoned up one Of the
choristers and asked him the names Of
several Of the cards. which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the next
saints day. which the child could not
tell.
"See" cried the priest. turning to
the congregation. You teach your
children the names Of every card in
the pack and leave them ignorant of
their religion. Let this be the last
time l am compelled to bring playin:
cards into the church to shame you"
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.-I.ondon Answers.
