HE PUZZLED THE BRITISHER
Evidently Doorkeeper Had Never
Heard Of the Lord That Amerl-
can Minister Served.

Judge George F. Lawton of the Mid
dlesex probate court told me a story
the other day of an American minis
ter who was spending his sabbatical
year travelling abroad. Arriving in
London, he made every effort to get
an intimate view of the two branches
Of parliament in session. OF course
no stranger is allowed on the floor of
the house of lords, but the minister
not knowing this, and with the usual
amount of American push, tried to
make his way in. There is a rule,
however, that servants of the various
lords may be admitted to speak to
their ministers. Seeing the minister
walking boldly in, the doorkeeper
asked:
What lord do you serve?"
What lord?" repeated the aston
ished American. "the lord Jehovah!"
For moment the doorkeeper hesi-
tated and then admitted him. Turn
ing to an assistant standing near, he
said:

Scotch lairds. Boston Record.

A Back-Water Town.

horse back-water towns, like Squash"
said Representative Burton, describing
at Hot Springs dinner a town that
he disliked.
Squash is the limit A gentleman
arrived there the other day and wanted
a hair cut. He found the barber shop,
and, after shaking the barber vigor-
ously, managed to awaken him.
How long will it take you to cut
my hair barber? he asked.
Not long, boss, said the barber.
And he rose, yawned. and stretched
himself. Then he called upstairs to
his wife:
Hey, send the kid down to the
Sun office to tell the editor want my
scissors just as soon as he's done edi-
tin the paper. There's a gent here

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt in the Baesageman's Mind
as to Contents of What Looked
Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufacturer
of Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with a shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in. special
cars, but in this instance no car was
available and the order must be filled.
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
comestible was put in a rough. OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
baggageroom. Then the manufacture
er bought ticket for himself and the
box. and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in a
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "A relative?" he
asked. Yes" answered the manu-
facturer. 'it is my brother" Well"

by tourists, was heading for the

Is Tired of Prayinu,

A little girl in st. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,
and papa and make me good girl"
and so on, when all at once she
semed to come to decision. Now
that is the last time l am going to
say that prayer" she said. very grave
ly, looking at her mother You are
older than l am and it is your place
to ask for all those things and don't

the same thing" Since then she has
firmly refused to pray insisting that
it is her mothers place to ask God
for blessings.

LooicaI REASONING.

A certain young mans friends
thought he was dead, but he was only
in a state of coma When, in ample
time to avoid being buried. he showed
signs of life, he was asked how 1t
seemed to be dead.
"Dead?" he exclaimed. Il wasn't
dead. / knew all that was going on
And l knew l wasn't dead, too, be-
cause my feet were cold and / was
hungry"
But how did that fact make you
think you were still alive?" asked one
of the curious.
well, this way: I knew that If
were in heaven l wouldn't be hun

my feet wouldn't be cold.'

One rule of the original Olympic
games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious trouble.
Women were not allowed to be pres

district when the games were being
celebrated on pain Of being hurled
from precipitous rock. This rule is
believed to have been defled only
once, when the offender was pardoned
in consideration of the fact that her
father, brothers and son had been VIC
tors in the games. One particular
priestess, however, was not only ex-
empt from this law, but was accom-
modated with a special front seat on

were allowed to enter chariots for the

SUIT AGAINST THREE NATIONS.
Mne. Cotton Wants 100000 Cross
Crowns Lent to Venice.

A French woman with an English
name, Nine. Cotton, is making bold
bid for fame and fortune by suing in
the French courts an empire, a king
dom, republic and a bank at the
same time.
The plaintiff claims to be the au-
thentic representative of a financier
who two centuries and half ago ad-
vanced the Zecca bank of Venice a
sum of 100000 gold cross crowns,
present value roughly 100000, in
cluding interest at the rate of three
per cent.
The heir Of the original lender was a
Frenchman, Jean Thierry. His heirs
quarreled over the succession and
King Louis XIV. claimed it. After the
revolution Napoleon, as Gen. Bona
parte, got the cash from the bank.
From that day till now the French
state has been the custodian of the
Thierry estate. The state has been
sued dozens of times, but to no pur-
pose. A bill authorizing a grant to
Nine. Cotton as the heiress of Thierry
passed the chamber some 20 years ago
and was nullified by the exchequer.
The governments of Italy and Aus
tria are summoned because each in
turn has owned Venice and has bees
In turn responsible for the debts.
Whether Nine. Cotton's pertinacity
will successfully bring to an issue a
case in which the hopes of generations
lie buried remains to be seen.
