Heinrich Conried, the retiring manager
of the Metropolitan Opera house, SAID at
a recent dinner in New York:

as queer a mistake as one that was
made last week by a friend OF NINE, a
Lutheran clergyman.

butler, and the next morning after break

The clergyman started. This was odd.
However, as he knew, many were called
in the law, few chosen.
But he said, do you understand the
conduct of household?
"In a general way, yes, murmured
the applicant.

A Contradictory Peplv.

Commissioner Bingham of New York
discussing the case of a policeman found
guilty OF protecting gambling houses,
said:
'The man lied too naiveIy in defense Of
his innocence. He was like a carpenter
employed last month by newspaper
friend Of mine.
MY newspaper friend writes good
deal at home and his study being next to
the nursery the children's noise dis
turbed him, and he employed a carpenter
to make the wall sound-proof between
the two rooms.
I'll Tx it all right said the carpen-
ter, confidently. The best thing to do
will be to line it with shavings.'
HE completed the job, then he called
the literary man in.
""'She's sound-proof all right now,' he
said.
"'Well test her. said the literary man.
You stay here
"And going into the nursery he called
to the carpenter in the study:
Can you hear me-?
NO sir, +! can't was the prompt re-
ply. Washington Star.

A Careful Man.
When Dawson reached town the other
day he was suddenly seized with a terrific
toothache,' and he repaired at once to a
dentist. Investigation showed that the
tooth was in such a condition that the
only way to extract it comfortably was
to put the sufferer under the influence of
gas: Consequently Dawson threw him
self back in the chair and the tube was
applied. He did not succumb any too
readily, but in the course of time he was
sleeping peacefully. and the offending
mOlar was removed.
How much, doctor?' asked the pa
tient after the ordeal was over.
Ten dollars" said the dentist, bust
ness being dull.
Ten dollars?'' roared Dawson:
eyes, SIR said the dentist. 1T was
an unusually hard job getting that tooth
out, and you required twice the ordinary
amount of gas"
''Humphv' calculated Dawson. as he
paid up. Here's your money, but L tell
you right now the next time take gas
from you you've got to put meter on
me" -Harper's Weekly.

Proof Positive.
A story haG recently been told in the
fleet of an Incident which happened
when Admiral Evans was in command
of the Indiana. says Harper'S Weekly
An old time bluejacket was at the mast
before Capt. Evans, charged with get
ting food out of a mess chest outside of
meal hours. This getting food for night
watches is a common and strong desire
on the part of most men aboard ship.
Capt. Evans asked the man what he
had to say, and the man, sizing up the
delicate situation, said:
Captain, l didn't take no food outer
that chest. Why, Captain, there weren't
no food in that chest! l looked in that
chest, and, Captain, | met a cockroach
coming out of that chest with tears in
his eyes"
The College Game.
Slas Whipperwill had not been in col
lege over a month until he began using
all the student slang in addition to uni
versity mannerisms. Then he wrote his
father like this:
Dear Father: This college game is GER
tainly expensive. l can't stay in it with
out more cash. 1t is hard to get good re-
suits without the necessary money. 1 am
n stranger here and my credit is no good
Your loving son, SILAS.
BY the next mail he received this:
Dear Silas: Quit the game. Your father
never could play poker so ! don't see no
use in your trying to win. Your loving

MINISTERS RAP ROOSEVELT.
Letter on Catholic For President Con.
 demned by Presbyterians.

New York, Nov. 24.-The Presbyte- rian Ministers association of New York adopted resolution protesting against the statement by President Roosevelt that Catholic. like any oth- CT worthy citizen, was entitled to the votes of his countrymen for president.
 The resolution was as follows:
 Resolved, That the Presbyterian Minis- ters' association of New York and vicini- ty cordially indo-ses the letter of the New York Lutheran ministers to Presi- dent Roosevelt and sympathlzes with them in their protest against the charge of marrow bigotry" by him made against any who might refuse to vote for one who otherwise fit happens to serve some particular creed.
 The letter of our Lutheran brethren makes 1t very clear that the antiauated policy Of the Vatican to the claim of su- premacy fin temporal things. as in spir- itusl. renders 1t inadvisable on purely pa- triotic grounds to vote into high office any man who owes allegiance first to the pope and then 10 the people.

"The Bishop"

A very, very small audience wit messed fairly good production of "The Bishop" at Polls theater last evening. The play is most pleasing and in the hands of really good company could be made even more entertaining than it was last evening MT Ober, who played the leading part, made a dignified and scholarly bishop. Aside from this character the others were in only fairly goot hands. ''The Bishop" seemed tr please those who did attend.

CAST YOUR BREAD, SC.
Rights of Columbus Get Money Back
 from San Francisco.

Sheridan council, K. of C., has re- ceived check from the Knights at San Francisco for s104.96, which is S3 per cent of what the council paid to help sufferers from the earthquake at that place. The other local eoun- cils and councils all over the coun- try got back portions of what they paid on the same ratio. It appears that about $50.000 was left over after taking care of every needy case. The fact that so much money has been refunded shows that not withstanding all the talk about graft at San Francisco and other places, the modern knight is just as trust worthy as his namesake of ye olden time
