A Genial GREETING.

It was a former archbishop Of York,
Dr.. Thomson, who appeared once in
the role Of coachman. He had attend
ed an evening party and, on leaving
the house, discovered that his coach
man was drunk. There appeared
nothing for It but to drive home him
self, and the archbishop, after placing
the smiling but unconscious coachman
inside the carriage, mounted the box
and took the reins. The monotony of
the homeward journey was broken by
a wheel of the carriage coming into
violent collision with a stone just out
side the entrance to Bishopsthorpe.
The lodge keeper, unable to recognize
the approaching figure In the dark
ness, called out cheerily: Hello, Bill!
Drunk again? And blowed If you
amt got the old cocks hat onv'
"1ts the old cock himself" gravely
responded his grace.

Didn't Need a Selection.

A Kansas man tells Of a music hall
In a town Of that state which bore the
unenviable reputation of possessing
absolutely the worst band anywhere.
On D occasion a "headliner'' from
Chicago had been promised by the
management for a ''turn," and conse-
quently the hall was packed to the
doors. When, however, the time had
come for the "headliner'' to appear in
stead of that eagerly awaited attrac-
ton the audience was astounded to
e the agitated manager come before
the curtain holding a telegram in his
hand.
Ladies' and gentlemen" said he. 81
very much regret to inform you that
the Great Stewart cannot (hisses and
catcalls) possibly arrive for at least
another half hour. Great a%pplause.)
In the meantime the band will play
ycu~a selection"
At this a dead silence followed.
which was finally broken by a man in
the gallery.
"Smitty, Smitty," he shrieked, don't
let the band play. Well be quiet. hon
est we will"

He CAUGHT IL.

The ferry dock was crowded with
weary home goers when through the
crowd rushed a man, hot, excited, lad
en- to the chin with bundles of every
shape and size. He sprinted down the
pier. his eyes fixed on a ferryboat only
two or three feet out from the pier.
He paused but an instant on the string
piece, and then, cheered On by the
amused crowd, he made a flying leap
across the intervening stretch Of water
and landed safely IN the deck. A fat
a happened to be standing On the
exact spot on which he struck, and
they both went down with a resound-
ing crash. When the arriving man had
somewhat recovered his breath he apol-
ogized to the fat man. II hope I didn't
hurt you," he said. II am sorry. But.
anyway, I caught the boat"
"But, you idiot" said the fat man,
"the boat was coming in"

Unexpected Appreciation.


An odd anecdote is told about the
"Reverie and Caprice For Violin and
Orchestra" by Berlioz, a composition
which partakes largely Of the remarka-
BILE character that belongs to most Of
the works Of that famous French mu-
stefan. 1t was being performed at
Leipzig by Il of the greatest Of Ger
mar violinists, and Berlioz and Men
delssohn were both present.
After the piece was ended, amid the
most enthusiastic applause, the violin
list turned to Mendelssohn and whis-
pered: II am glad enough l have got
through 1t, for l never had such a task
in my life. I have not the remotest
idea what I have been playing or what
the piece al be about"
Scarcely were the words out of the
bewildered f1ddler's mouth when Ber-
lioz exclaimed to Mendelssohn: "Never
have I heard my composition so divine
~ rendered. Never have l heard an
artist who has so completely caught
my meaning and so wonderfully inter
preted it."
