Humor, or the Lack of IL.

Writing of humor reminds me OF
the lack of tan unhappy condition
with which one meets occasionally.
There were some dear old ladies who
lived in a large house in a certain
parish. They were very much op-
posed to anything which to their
mind savored of the world; the
thought even of patience" filled them
with horror. They had, however,
heard that the curate, to whom they
were much attached, was good cor
juror. On one occasion when he was
lunching with them they asked him
to show them some of his tricks. He
readily consented and in the extreme
innocence of his heart asked for a
pack of cards. 1--WE have never had a
pack of cards in the house for TWEEN
ty years." his hostess exclaimed, and
then, feeling she owed her guest
some reparation, asked him whether
visiting cards would do as well!

Kansas City, March John Hud-
dleston. farmer, was walking through
his freshly planted field Of wheat In
Pike county, in Arkansas, three years
ago, when he noticed a pebble that
sparkled and reflected the light with
brilliance. At first he thought it was
not worth while picking up. Then he
put il in his pocket and took it to a
jeweler, who pronounced it a topaz
Although not yet versed in precious
stones, he thought it was a diamond
Several months after he raked and
scraped up enough money to go to
New York city. There he interviewed
Tiffany and showed his find TO several
experts. The result was that when
he returned to his home in Arkansas,
a stock company had purchased his
eighty acres which ordinarily were
worth $50 each, for the aggregate sum
OF $4,000.
That was the real beginning of
the find of diamonds in Arkansas
Ever since this farmer made a stake
out of his farm, every lowlander, high
lander and "hill billie" of the state
has been walking his premises with
forked peach sprout trying to conjure
up oarbons.
While most of the diamond finding
has been in Pike, in another county

HUMOROUS SIDE
OF Clerical LIFE
An Odd Interpretation of cIereyman's
Remarks and Conduct Of Church
Services.

The compliments that one meets
with are sometimes as strangely
phrased as they are generally little
deserved. On my leaving a curacy
an old friend of mine said: "Well, l
be sorry you're going, for I did 'ope
You would ave died ers''--which was
certainly more than 7 did, writes the
Rev. Stewart F. L. Bernays in the
Cornhill Magazine. But in the way
of testimonials the one which | prize
the most was received from a certain
bishop. He was famous for the in
felicitous way he mad of putting
things. / wrote to tell him | was
leaving the diocese and to thank him
for his kindness to me. His reply
was short and, | trust, not to the
point: Dear sir: | am sorry you
are leaving my diocese, for I have
never heard anything against you.
Yours faithfully - This at
least was a negative kind of testi-
monial which might be useful to
some of us.
My vicar was leaving at the same
time, and was accompanying him to
his new parish. He Jared little bet

SOME TIME.

Last night, my darling, as you slept
/ thought l heard you sigh,
And to your little crib l crept
And watched a space thereby,
And then l stopped and kissed your
brow,
For oh, l love you So
You are too young to know it now
But some time you will know.
Some time when in a darkened place
When others come to weep
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep,
The voiceless lipe the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile will show
You are too young to know it now
But some time you will know.
Look backward then, into the years
And see me here tonight
See, oh, my darling, how many tears
Are falling as write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know it now,
But some tir1e you will know.

from the estate of the late E. H. Har-
riman of New York, who is supposed
to have owned stock in the Minneapo-

railroads Under the position taken
in the John S. Kennedy case the state
is entitled to its inheritance tax on all
the stock so held, as both these rail
road companies are Minnesota corpo-

The attorney generals department
will also investigate twenty five or
thirty others admitted to probate
since the inheritance tax law was
passed in 1905. Attorney General

The state supreme court declares
that Mrs. Emma Ledbeter of Mankato
cannot be placed on trial for second
time and judgment will be entered in
the district court of Blue Earth county
and Mrs. Ledbeter will be released
from custody.
Mrs. Ledbeter was originally indict-

ner husband, Holland j. Ledbeter, Ma
4, 1909. The charge was murder in
the first degree.
She was placed on trial on Dec. 81,
1909, and was found not guilty by the
jury. She was again indicted Feb. Z,
1910, on the charge of murder in the
second degree. She refused to plead
when arraigned in court on the sec
ond indictment, claiming acQuittal and
previous jeopardy. The state demur-
red, claiming that the trial judge in
the first case was not qualified to sit,
as he was the father of the defendants

Judge Quinn sustained the demur-
rer AMI the defense appealed to the
state supreme court. which decided in
