versAtlon.

Owen Seaman. editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner Of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by q discussion on
''Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling Of q
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a 'bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck a note
Of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane: otherwise a.
lence reigned. ..
This was broken by one Of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exacutude. Said
the Scotsman:

The other replied: MAN, don't spoil

Again the old man disappeared into

he might clasp both between his bony
fingers. One was the Bible, the other
the Book of the Mormons. In a

strenuous oath improvised by Cap

uting the gold pieces among his pock-

This time the old man was gone for
several minutes. When he returned
he placed small package tightly

"1'll do it," cried Captain Plum. He
jumped to his feet and held out his
hand. But the old man slipped from
his chair and darted swiftly out into
the blackness of the adjoining room.
AS he came back Captain Plum could
hear his insane chuckling.
Business - business - business -"
he gurgled. "Eh. Captain Plum? Did
you ever take an oath?" He tossed
a book on the table 1t was the Bible.
Captain Plum understood. He
reached for the book and held it un-

above his head. while a smile played

A thrilling inspiration shot into

his hands clenched. Il will take this

continued Captain Plum. Il came to

the skin and peel OF leaving the un-

scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab q
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
