There Is an amusing story about
Matthew Arnold in his character as
school inspector told in "a book by a
brother inspector. Arnold's district
consisted of Westminster and Ed
monton, "a ridiculous grouping"
His official address was "The
Athaeneum," and he lived, believe,
at Esher. BY the treasury rules, if
his work at Edmonton required his
attendance for two or more consecu-
tive days, he was bound after the
first day to spend the night there or
to refrain from charging his train
and cab fares home again. Being a
poet, of course he returned home
and charged his fare every day.
"The knight Of the blue pencil" as
he called his enemy, sharpened his
blue pencil and wrote, "Mr. NJ. Ar
mold, II. NJ. Why not stay at
Edmonton" And the great man
plaintiyely replied, Glow can you
expect me to stay at Edmonton
when John Gilpin couldn't?" The
account was passed.

When | Was a Boy.

A boy who had been spending his
summer in the mountains was I'M
expectedly joined by his father and
took the opportunity to ask for a
new tennis racket.
what" cried his father, "a new
tennis racket! Why, l just bought
you one a month ago. No, sir, you
can't have it. Why, when [ was a
boy | didn't have tennis rackets and
all those things, let alone having
new ones every month. This can't
60 on. Look here! What are you
going to do about it yourself? Some
day your sons will want new ten
mis- racket every five minutes. What
are you going to do about it,"
"Aw," said the boy, calmly wink
ing at his father, 'I'll put up the
same old gag. I'll tell 'em about
when | was boy."-Judge.

Ouida, the novelist. wrote: "The
sympathy of your dog is unfailing,
unobtrusiye If You are sad, 50 is
he, and if you are merry, none IS so
willing to leap and laugh with you
as he. For your dog YOU are never
poor. The attachment of the dog to
man outweighS and almost obliter-
ates attachment in him to his own
race. There is something shocking
to our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will sniff
at the stiff body of a brother dog.
He will follow his master to the
grave and sometimes die on IT,"

Merely a QUESTION of SnelIina.

lie was the engineer of an ocean
liner and prided himself on his
knowledge of electricity. On one
of his brief stays at home he ac-
companied his wife to a party. The
subject of electricity coming up, he
Indignantly combated the idea that
it was possible for two people to
produce an electrical current
through the body of third by sim
pie physical contact. His wife and
friend said they would prove it
and, leading him to a window, told
him to pull up his sleeves and place
both hands fiat on the glass. They
then, on the other side, took firm
grip on his wrists. At the end of
few moments his wife said:
Don't you feel a pain, Willy?"
"No," he replied, and returned a
like negative to a second and
third inquiry.
At his third response most of the
company began to laugh, and it sud
denly flashed into his mind that the
pronunciation of pain and pane was
the same.-New York Tribune.

porant engagements throughout the
Inland Empire. The band has been
engaged for the past five years by the

gagements.

The Japanese Smile.

Lafcadio Hearn says people who
smile naturally cannot wear the ex-
preston of the japanese. A Japa-
nese can smile whenever he wants,
even in the jaws of death. 1t is a
law of etiquette elaborated and cul-
elvated for many centuries until it
has become a silent language. They
smile in the face of sorrow and suf-
fering, paradoxical as this seems.
This smile says: 81 do not wish you
to suffer with me. bear my ssr-
row, suffering and trials alone"
