NOT FOR THIS WORLD.

A Philadelphia clergyman was re- gently accosted by an old man to whom he had frequently given as- sistance. On this occasion the bor- rower presented so disreputable an appearance that the minister spoke somewhat sharply about it.
 "You're right, doctor. I really don't look clean or decent. But can't help it, doctor. Pm simply a poor, miserable, dirty old duffer. I'm not fit for this world, only for the Kingdom of Heaven"

 "But what kind of towers do you want?" inquired the unfortunate ar chitect. "Norman, Gothic"
 Mrs. Drippingold closed the Eng fish novel of high life on which her soul had been feeding.

LARGE DEMAND FOR CLOCKS.

While the clock industry of the Black Forest has held its place in the markets of Europe and America for over two centuries, the intro duction of modern methods has given it so great an impulse that within six years France has more than doubled her import of Black Forest clocks, the Argentine Repub- lie has tripled her imports, and the United States has more than quad rupled hers.

'So you say this is good watch dog?" inquired the village postmas- ter, as he eyed rather dubiously the nondescript canine.
 "'Deed he am, boss," replied Ras- tus.
 But if he was as good a watchdog as you make out, how is it you want to sell him at all ?"

HOUSE OF PRECIOUS VIEWS
Peculiar Phrase In Cuban Advertise,
 ment Which Proved Puzzllna
 to the American.

An advertisement in a Havana newspaper of house for sale or to let enumerates among other of its desirable features "two precious views"
 That phrase puzzled an Ameri- can for some time, until he learned that the word was derived from the Spanish word precioso, favorite in describing something delicate or rare, but hardly precious in the sense of valuable. The advertiser, how ever, had insisted that the descrip- tive word should be done in that way.
 Advertisement in the English lan- guage is a strong point in Cuba, es- pecially with the saloon keepers. One rather obscure shop in a corner of Santiago bursts out of a mass of Spanish lettering with the follow ing: Renowned for Cocktails"
 "Jt seems 10 me that modern theater-goers rarely get the worth of their money when they invest it in the average show"
 "Why not?"
 Because, after all, it only amounts to star-gazing."
