A oueen EIizabeth Joke.

Queen Elizabeth liked her jokes. and, although her pleasantries were of a less sanguinary turn than her fathers. she must have been even more for midable than usual when disposed to be frolicsome. A tale may be found in one of Lord Essex's letters with regard to new dress belonging to one of her maids of honor, over the pos session of which the owner had been rash enough to exhibit some elation- The young lady, it seems, was several inches taller than her majesty, hardly perhaps quite nice or loyal thing to be Having desired that the dress should be made over to her custody, the queen, first carefully selecting an extremely wet day, was pleased to put it on and trail it for yards behind her in the mud, the owner of the hu- initiated garment having to appear as delighted with the royal fun and con descension as the rest of the lockers on.-London Tatler.

1ns .,.r - .ne Door.

"It is customary for the back door key to be put halfway under the door so that I can reach it when coming off duty late at night, . remarked an artist to a London Tit-Bits writer ''The other morning at breakfast my landlady said to me, Do you know, I had an awful fright last night. I put the key halfway under the door, as usual, when, to my horror, saw it drawn slowly out of sight. of course thought some one had got the key and would unlock the door and come in, so I quickly bolted it and shouted through the keyhole, My word, if you don't bring that key backy Not daring to retire to rest, sat quietly listening for a time. Then I got table knife and pushedsit under the door to see if the key had really been taken right away and to my surprise Srew the key back again. So, very cautiously, I un- locked and unbolted the door, looked out and found not a burglar, but our own wicked cat, who, while sitting on the doorstep and seeing the key pushed under the door, must have drawn the key out of sight with her paws, think ing I was playing with her.''

An American Joke From EnsIand

An <neffcan JckS From En9ianos
 The typical American, says a con- tributor to the English Illustrated Magazine, although partial to making jokes. is often quick tempered and un- able to recognize joke made by an- other, with results that are sometimes unpleasant.
 Thus, a senator was once at fash ionable dinner party at Washington when he was asked what fish he would take.
 "waal," he said, .1 reckon I'll take plaice."
 A wit who chanced to be present re- marked. with a twinkle in his eye, "Ah, senator, still place seeker p
 'sYaas." answered the senator, at the same time whipping out a revolver and shooting the wit dead, -but what's that to you, you dern'd strangerT
 Afterward, when the joke was ex- plained to him, the senator confessed that he had acted rather hastily, and to show that he bore no grudge he went to the funeral of the inopportune wit.
