They Knew the Pole.

Some years ago when pr. Nansen visited Leeds on his return from the polar regions he was welcomed by a large crowd of spectators. who cheer. ed vociferously. Two of the most ar dent admirers of Nansen were cou. pie of old men, who kept shouting and waving their sticks. When the cele. brated explorer had passed, immedi- ately following in the wake of the carriage came a wagon dragged by three horses, bearing long iron pole, which belonged to the electric tram ways company.
 Directly the old men saw it the fol- lowing conversation took place:
 Well, I'll be blowed! Sitha, Bill, he's brout the pole back vii himy' said one.
 "Aye," said the other admirer of Nansen, "and we t only two ats no ticed it. There all running after t car riage. Sitha, there that ignorant they can't tell t pole when they see ftp

An Easy Grade.

Patronage, political. religious and so. cial, has seen its best days in Eng. land, and 1t is becoming more and more difficult, St. James Budget opines, to find material for such a story as follows:
 At the end of political campaign many years ago young man who had worked valfantly for the successful candidate claimed a reward. The prize promised was sergeantcy in the artillery. But the candidate found that he was unable to carry out his prom ise, inasmuch as it required six years service to qualify man for the rank. He became thoughtful, but finally saw light.
 Docs 1t require six years to qualify a man for a lieutenancy" he asked one who knew.
 Certainly not" was the reply.
 "Well, make young Blank lieuten- ant, then," said the candidate, with a sigh of relief.
 Blank was thus made lieutenant for no other reason than that he was not fit to be sergeant.

A Bernard Shaw Joke.

After addressing an Edinburgh meet. ing for ninety minutes once Mr. Ber- nard Shaw remarked that the time was a quarter to 10. and he had intended to finish at 9 o'clock. He did not seem in the least fatigued; the audience were also quite fresh, and when the speaker was about to sit down loud cries o1 "Go on!' were raised on all sides.
 Do you really wish me to go on p MT. Shaw asked. He was answered by renewed cheering and more shouts of "Go onv'
 Great was the disappointment, there fore. when he replied, That is the ex. act point at which an experienced speaker sits down." which he accord. tngly did.

An Artists Mustache,

The mustache was not viewed with favor in England in the middle of the last century. An anecdote is told of the late Thomas Cooper. the English artist, to illustrate. He was brought before a magistrate in 1S46 on some minor charge and was described in the police report as being fashion ably dressed. with large mustaches.' .'' The Art Journal of the date, comment ing on it, said that mo member of the Royal academy perpetrates the atroc. tty of mustaches, most un-English affectation." MT. Cooper became 8 member of the academy a few years later.

TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER.

More than 400 lives we're blotted out
10 the black depths OF a mine at Cherry,
ILL.,, on Saturday, where fra and ex.
plosion wrecked the st. Paul Oompsny's
colliery and desolsted every home In
the town. The catastrophe, unsurpsss-
ed In its horrors by any in the history OF
the coal industry 10 America, came with
the suddenness and fury Of hurricane
blast, and Its fearful work was IS quick
ly done.
Shortly after the explosion occurred
u bodies we're taken out. Six Of these
we're men notemployed 10 the mine, who
gave their liv ca 10 futile effort to save
the imprisoned workers. When these
devoted men had given up their lives 1t
was realized that there was no more
hope Of rescue, and though there waited
many who we're ready to save their i'm
prisoDed comrades, they were restrained
aud, for hours after the explosion &C.
Cured, the entrance OF The mine was
sealed in the hope Of checking the
hsmes.
The exact number OF the victims can
not be known, bat it Is believed to be
400. Experts, who penetrated the

feet early last night, returned With 9
