Whx Ther Were etuna.


Several American ladies who have
purchased earls. dukes, counts and
such worthless trifies at fabulous
prices are sick Of their bargains and
wish they had their money back.
Let US not, therefore. jump hastily
at the conclusion that AL gentlemen
with titles are warped and worthless
and that It is impossible to train any
Of them as household pets.
That would be a mistake. II is the
gentleman with nothing but titles,
miscellaneous debts and a speckled
past who come over and trade their
titles for money, with a girl thrown in
as an incumbrance, who make hus-
bands that are well calculated to rec
oncile the bachelor lady to her single
state. There are some dukes who
make good husbands as husbands go,
but they are the ones who marry for
love and look on the lady's fortune, II
she has one. as a pleasing incidental.

When Bavarian peasant treats him
self to new hat. he does not throw
the old hat away He just puts the
new hat on top of the old one. The
other day an amusing scene was wit
messed at the Munich railway station.
A peasant who had bought new hat
and a bowl containing several goldfish
found himself hustled by the crowd
surging at the entrance to one of the
platforms. In the crush the bowl was
broken and the fish fell out For q
moment the peasant knew not what to
do. Suddenly he made up his mind

Fire Escapes for Building.

At the meeting of the school
board Tuesday afternoon the COM
mittee on buildings and grounds was
instructed to solicit plans and esti-
mates for the construction of fire
escapes at the public school build
ing. 1t is the purpose of the board
to have these improvements made
during vacation this summer.
1t is also quite likely that the
board will authorize the erection of
an addition to the school building
for colored children. This building
has been over taxed for two years
and the board has been forced to
rent a church for the accommodation
of the overflow of pupils.
June 3 was the date fixed by the
board for the commencement exer-
cises of the graduating class of the
high school.

A Glad stone Bull.

Mr. Gladstone dearly loved a joke,
even at his own expense. and he pos
sessed considerable mimetic powers.
He was once guilty of an amusing
bull in a debate on the question of dis
establishment. Dilating on the hold
held on the affections Of the people by
the Church of England. he said:
When an Englishman wants to get
married, to whom does he go? To the
parish priest When he wants his
child baptized, to whom does he go?
To the parish priest. When he wants
to get buried, to whom does he go?'
The house answered with Il roar of
laughter, in which Mr. Gladstone him
self joined adding, LAS | was con
trasting the English church with the
Irish, bull is perhaps excusable,"
