Her Fathers Job.

The young daughter Of popular
Chicago Clergyman some time ago
manifested a quick wit. Her father
had gone on a brief holiday with a
business parishioner and associate, and
the talk Of the children turned on the
problem Of which father needed the
rare rest most sorely.
We'll, ! think my father works the
hardest" said little Miss Business.
land his work keeps him stirred up
and anxious most of the time"
Your father may work the hardest
in one way was little Miss Clergy
mans answer. at once thoughtful and
diplomatic, but think he gets more
rest as he goes along. You see, he can
let down a little evenings and Sun
days, and If he gets cross and nervous
nobody says anything. But my daddy
has to be better than ever Sundays
and evenings. because then every body's
taking notice and the whole lot Of us
children are around" Chicago Rec.
ord Herald.

Sarcastic Cabbv.

A certain nobleman, who may be
called Lord x, bears the reputation
of being somewhat stingy in money
matters. On a wet afternoon he hired
cab to take him to Victoria station
Arrived at the station, he handed the
cabman shilling and Of course was
met by the inevitable demand for an
extra sixpence.
"Certainly not" said the other
promptly. "You came the longest way
as an excuse to extort money. Why
didn't you go through st. James
park?"
The cabman saw he had no chance
and said sneeringly:,
Zoos st. ~ James park is closed
That's why" i
Nonsense" said the other sternly.
"It's right, though" was the grave
reply. ''They say that Lord K. dropped
shilling coming across the park last
evening, and the gates are closed until
they lind it.''-London Tit-Bits.

Rented Wedding Cakes.

There was something wrong with the
cake, the baker said. 1t looked all
right, and it smelled all right, but his
artistic sense told him it would not
taste all right. -
':Then fix it up with an extra coat of
icing and we will keep it for a renter -
said the proprietor.
"Who in the world would rent a
cake?" some one asked.
"Wedding parties,' said he. ''They
want big cake in the center Of the
table for show, but cake of that size
good enough for wedding would cost
more than they can afford to pay, so
they order fine, cake put up in individ-
ual boxes for the guests and use the
brides cake just as an ornament. They
don't buy It; they rent it. Sometimes
cake is rented a dozen different
times. After each wedding it is fresh
ened up with new coat of icing and
looks as good as new for the next oc-
cas1on. A good renter fetches about
So a wedding."-New York Press.

Shut Her Up.

A young wife was continuously pes.
tered by her, mother-in-law about the
way she was bringing up her firstborn
babe. The young wife was intelligent
and capable, and she was really doing
very well with the baby. From her
mother-in-law, however, she got moth.
ing but sour advice, warnings and veil
ed abuse. One day the mother-m-law
looking fxedly at the mother with hel
baby on her lap, said angrily: @
"A woman has no right to have a
child if she doesn't know how to hold
it, -"
"No, nor a tongue either" was the
quiet reply-Detroit Free Press.

Sweden's "church Boat

The church boat Is a popular inst1-
tuition in Sweden. It brings families to
service from the farms around Lake
siljan to Leksand. The water route IS
the nearest and most convenient, and
30 the big boat goes from farm to farm
along the shore picking up the church
goers, who later return by the same
route.-Wide World Magazine.

Berlin.

"Berle," from which Berlin has
caught her name, means uncufivated
land. Slavonian Wends, the earliest
settlers on the sandy plain, could make
but little out of the soil. The popula-
ton in 1882 was only 100000. Less
than forty years later it was 100000,
and now it runs into 100000. The
man who gave to Berlin it's present
form was Frederick H., but Frederick
the Great and the Great Elector started
the noble hobby of identifying the
wonderful city. A.. f.*.ai
