One morning. a few weeks ago. rs n
South Jersey country physician was
driving through n village. he saw a
man. slightly under the influence Of
liquor. amusing n crowd of spectators
with the antics OF his trick dog. The
doctor pulled up and watched the fun
q while and then said:
''My dear man. how do you manage
to train your dog that way? I can't
teach mine single trick"
The man addressed looked up. and
with that simple rustic look replied:
We'll, you see. IT'S this way: You
have to know morc'n the dog or you
can't learn him nothin'. n'.'-Philadelphia

" Happeneo IN Church.
A Southern clergyman tells the fol.
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun.
day he had read the notices for the
week. and then announced the clos
ing hymn-Number so-and.so. At
that moment one OF the deacons came
down the aisle. and the minister
paused to hear what he had to say.
which was that the pastor had forgot
ten to give notice OF a meeting OF the
ladies' Of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no.
tice. apologizlng to the congregation
for his forgetfulness. and then again
announced the number OF the hymn.
and proceeded to read 1t. His feelings
and those OF the congregation may be
imagine when he began:
"'Lord. What q thoughtless wretch
was l!'"-I.ipptncott's.
