His Position.

Dean Ramsay once told OF a young
Englishman who had taken a Scottish
shooting, and thought himself quite
nationalized. Next year he met a
genuine Scot of the old school at a
German watering-place, and proceed
ed to pose as one himself. talking of
Scotland and haggis and sleeps head
and whisky, boasting of Bannockburn,
protesting devotion to Queen Mary.
and eXtolling Scott and Burns over all
English writer's. On taking leave Of
his friend he said: well. sir, next
time we meet, hope you will receive
me as real countryman." "Weel,"
said the other, I'm jest thinkln', my
lad. ye're nae Scot, but I'll tell We
what ye are-ye're jest an impruived
Englishman."

CONDUCTOR KNEW THE SONS.
Experiences Had Taught Him Why the
Crowd Was Out.

Il wonder what it is to-day. corsets

How do you know it is either?"
asked passenger.

people coming down town shopping"
was the reply. 1T may not be either
corsets or kimonos that are bringing
them, but 1t lie something for fat folk
to wear. You can't fool me on that.
I've been conductor on this line too
long not to know the signs The stout
women are out in shoals to-day. which
means that there has been a bargain

Used. The thin people always take
things more calmly when their turn
comes. Possibly they think they can
get fitted any time. But the heavy
weights never miss an opportunity.

put two and two together can tell by
the heft OF the passengers how the
days advertisements run"

Apple Of Eden Not In II.

You find charred pears in the
kitchen heaps Of middle Europe,
where the lAkS villages used to be.
There remnants date back Of the ap-
pie, and so far IS we can discover the
pear was the very first one Of this
wonderful family to become of impor.
tanoe to human beings. In fact. II
seems probable that an eatable pear
or possibly . Oookable pear was in
possession Of our ancestors a good
while before there were eatable ap.
pies or even cherries. plums and pos
sibly even strawberries. But the
whole pear family was just as surely
working W toward civilized and gar.
den conditions as human beings them
selves. Evolution has brought US
along together, with pretty nearly
equal step. and now it looks as II our
future development was to be nearly
as close as our past-Outing Maya

KNEW HIMSELF TO 81 A POET.
Whittier Came Early TO Recognition
Of His Genius.

John Greenleaf Whittier used to de-
clare that at q very early age he knew
himself to be q real poet, and would
often relate, writes Mrs. Abbey j.
Woodman in her "reminiscences Of
Whittiers Life at Oak Knoll" an
amusing experience when he was a
student at the Haverhiu academy.
Mrs. Woodman gives it in Mr.. Whit
tiers own words:
There is but little doubt that at
the age Of 20 felt myself to be a
real poet somewhat unknown to fame.
but sufficiently acknowledged as such
by the committee directing the dedi-
cation Of the new academy for them
TO invite me TO read an original poem
on that occasion.
Robert Dinsmore, an old Scotch
farmer in W1ndham, and q writer Of
rhyme and doggerel verse, was also
invited to do the same. The honor Of
leading the procession which marched
through the streets of HaverhilI to
the new academy was given to the
two poets.

Scotchman, short and plethoric, his

Scotch whisky before we started, was

heaped upon me.
However, we delivered our poems
all right; and am thinking that must

ing duty as an altar. The church
which has this distinction is the parish
church at Wolferton, Norfolk, the
beautiful building often honored by
the king when at his Sandringham
home. The table. which once groaned

ports the vessels Of communion; and
the beautiful piece of furniture. at
one time the pride OF the hall, is now
