A Paris contemporary publishes a

in the grounds baby carriage pushed
by nurse. He followed it with his
eyes for some seconds and then n
dawned upon him that was the LITTLE

His Best.


 The late Sir John Stainer. one of England's most celebrated musicians and composers, was once staying in a small Swiss village, and the English clergyman was on the outlook for a musician to assist at the service. Stainer was in the office of the hotel when the clergyman found him and started the conversation with "Do you play the harmonium?"
 "A little," was the reply of the for mer organist of St Pauls cathedral.
 Wm you, then, be good enough to help us out of our difficulty on Sunday We will read the Psalms, and the hymns shall be the simplest I can Sc lect." added the delighted parson.
 'T will do my best" said Stainer, with a smile.
 The service proceeded satisfactorily but the congregation at the close lis tened to a brilliant recital. When thu parson heard the name of his assist ant he asked him to dinner. "Do you smoker he asked at the close.
 'I will do my best" responded Stain CT, and the ensuing laughter was the prologue of an entertaining exchange of Oxford "reminiscences.

A Methadieai Rsina.

A man of method who attended to everything on schedule time. whether 1t was work or recreation, had the fortune to fall in love when he had passed the age of forty. The mistress of his heart put up with his oddities. He had regular nights for calling upon her, regular hours for coming and going, regular theater and club nights, stc. In fact, she looked upon his regu- larity as something admirable.
 Things had been going on in this way for two years. and finally the great crisis came. They were to be married. The day was fixed, the we'd ding clothes were made, the guests in- vtted, and the minister was engaged.
 At the appointed time. they were all assembled. The bride was dressed, the wedding presents were displayed, but the bridegroom came not. The bride Wept and tainted, but 1t did no good. Finally some friends of the delinquent groom hurried away to see if he could be found. He could. He was at home in his room, reading as unconcernedly as if he had never contemplated get ting married.
 What is the matter? Why don't you come to your wedding?" shouted his friends.
 The man of regular habits laid down his book.
 "I am very sorry," he said, "but this is my regular day for staying at hom~ and reading. I forgot it when made the engagement. The wedding will have to be postponed."-Londo Tit Bits.
