'Tf you dare trust yourself to me,

earnestly.

bright smile, and gave him her gloved

Tho WRONG Brother.

This, as the Second Reader used to
say, is true story. 1t came all the
way from Jessamine county and is
sworn to by the original narrator. who
suggested, however, that no names be
used, as the lady in the case is now u
little sensitive" on the subject.
There were twins. boy and girl,
who were separated at the age OF 10,
the young man going west to make his
fortune. His sister heard nothing from
him until shortly after last Christmas,
when she got letter from him saying
that he regretted greatly not having
kept in touch with his relatives, that
he had succeeded In business and In a
few months would sell out and come
back to Kentucky. He closed the let
ter with the inscription, your affec-
tionate brother, Dick"
1t was a few days ago that the sis
ter, who now has several grown-up
and married sons and daughters. saw
man of rather distinguished appear
ance enter her yard. She did not rec
ognize him and went to the door in an
swer to his ring. He took off his hat
and beamed upon her as he said, Il
am brother Dick!'
Those words were scarcely out OF
his mouth when she fell upon his neck
and kissed him, sobbing Historically.
The violence Of her emotion was so
great that his hat fell off and he al
most knocked over the hat rack In the
hall. She laughed and cried and kissed
and kissed and laughed and cried.
When the first effects Of her sensation
had worn off she wiped her eyes and
led him into the parlor, saying, "Sit
down, now, and tell me all about your
self Where have you been and what
have you been doing?"
"Why, to tell you the TRUTH" said
the man, looking much more abashed
than there is any need for a long-lost
and newly founded brother to be, I am
the new Baptist minister and I have
been preaching out in the country un-
til just now"
The Rev. Mr.. Dick was not to blame
for the Mysteries into which the wo-
man went again any more than for the
first ones, and her second experience
left her feeling worse than the earlier
attack. He went away about that time,
and it is safe to say that pastoral
calls" will be deferred until the miss
ing twin turns up and properly estab-
fishes his dentity.-Louisville Cou-
rier- Journal.

Found on Duty.-A large dose Of
good sense was ladled out by Police
Commissioner O'Meara Of Boston, in
deciding the case Of a patrolman
found of post and sentenced to dis
missal, says the New York Tribune.
Mr.. O'Meara wrote: "Any man who,
for the sake of loafing on duty, would
risk a position that Is better than he
is likely ever to get again, has not
common sense enough to be police
man. Any man who would thus dis
obey orders and regulations and bring
discredit upon his comrades and su-
periors has neither loyalty enough nor
enough of the spirit Of discipline to be
a policeman. Any man who would
desert his post and at midnight leave
to the chances Of crime, fire and acci-
dent the sleeping people who trust to
his protection, has not humanity
enough to be a policeman"

an opportunity to do in the days OF

manners Of Europe are closely imita-
ted, and the most conspicuous differ
ences that strike one are the presence
of eunuchs, or ordinary black boys, the
absence Of Turkish women, though
European women may be present and
the general wearing Of the fez. In the
interior many things are different

He is quite certain that his ways oi

GERS from European states, chiefly Ger
