There was a man who dropped a
penny down q crack in a board walk.
With q wire and a stick he tried to
recover the penny for a long time.

Mutual Dislike.
Co.'S.

Brahms and Tschaikowsky, the
famous musicians, met but twice.
On the last occasion Brahms was
sufficiently interested in Tschai-
kowsky's fifth symphony to travel
expressly to Hamburg in order to
make its acquaintance. After the
performance the distinguished COM
posers dined together, and the con-
scientious Brahms frankly admit
ted that he did not like the work
at all, whereupon the usually meek
Russian plucked up sufficient cour-
age to inform his host that the dis
ike of each others music was mu-
tual. They parted on excellent
terms nevertheless.

Advance knowledge.

The disadvantage of too much
knowledge in advance in his audi
tors was experienced by that uni
versity preacher Of whom all have
read. Knowing the lesson which
he would read, irreverent under
graduates pasted together the pages
of the Bible which he would open.
The result was that he read aloud,
'eWhen Noah was an hundred and
twenty years old he took unto him
Pwife who was'-and here he turned
over-"one hundred and forty GU
bits long, forty cubits wide, but OF
gopher wood and covered with pitch
inside and out" Naturally the dear
old gentleman was puzzled. "Thls
is the first time l have noticed this
in the Bible, but l accept it as an
evidence that We are fearfully and
wonderfully made" was his mild
comment.
