She Kent Her Word.

A funny story is told concerning
Catherine of Berain, a Welsh wont
an, who was known as the mother
of Wales because she founded So
many families. "She was first mar
ried to John Salisbury of Lleweni
and became the mother of Sir John
Salisbury, who was born with two
thumbs to each hand and was noted
for his prodigious strength. At the
funeral of her husband Sir Richard
Clough gave her his arm. Outside
the churchyard stood Maurice
Wynn of Gwydir awaiting a decent
opportunity of proposing to her,
AS she issued from the gate he did
this. Very sorry replied Cath
crime, but ! have just accepted Sir
Richard C]ougb. Should I survive
him J. will matTyJuu: SbnnRas-as
good as her word and married vet a
fourth before she died in 1891"

Monday, the moisture was soaked

A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity

DR.. Chalmers always had n high
of personal dignity. When a
young mar he was engaged as tutor
in a private family. His young
lady pupils resented his strictness,
and the mother foolishly took sides
with her daughters. In petty spite
when company was invited to the
house young Chalmers was shut out
from the table, and dinner was sent
to his room. He made no protest
against the treatment. but when il
was attempted again he told the
servant he had ordered a dinner al
a neighboring town and should need
nothing. When this had been done
a few times an explosion came. The
master of the house called Chal-
mers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he
had been insulted by Punishment
from the table. The young teacher
conquered and ever after held his
place as one of the family at all So
cial gatherings.

ROSE TO THE OCCASION.
A Polite Elephant and . Ready Witted
Snowman,

Snowman.
That everything should be in its
own place is a matter not only of
convenience, but of necessity for
some people and some animals, as
the following examples from John
Augustus O'Shea's "Leaves From
the Life of a Special Correspond
ent" 60 to prove. Certain orders
Of intellect run smoothly in accus-
toned grooves, but have no ability
to meet any unusual occasion. The
author describes a visit to a travel
ing menagerie.
The Snowman was repeating his
lesson like a schoolboy. He vas en-
larging on the peculiarities Of the
ostrich of Africa, upon the uncanny
form of which the visitors were sup
posed to be gazing.
"But, my friend" | remarked in
an undertone to hat functionary,
"that is not the ostrich of Africa;
that is the pelican of Australia"
"They're always playing jokes on
me-" exclaimed the Snowman plain
lively. "How can a cove tell which
is which if they goes on a-changing
of the cages when his back is turn
ed?"
In the other instance of the value
of order it was the animal which
was not equal to the emergency.
The Snowman rose superior to such
slight vicissitudes of fortune.
In the illness of the regular show
man a substitute was furnished with
a piece of paper setting forth the
elephants tricks.
"The behemoth will now walk
around the ring on three legs!"
shouted the Snowman.
Behemoth did as ordered, and the
audience ~applauded.
""The behemoth will now stand
on his hind legs!' The elephant
performing his tasks faithfully.
At last a mistake vas made in the
order. Throwing his whip on the
ground, the Snowman announced
that the behemoth would now lift
the whip with his trunk. Nothing
of the kind happened. The ele-
plant began moving around the
ring backward. A negro attendant
whispered TO the Snowman:
"That's his next number!"
The Snowman was equal to the
occasion and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen. my ia
vorite is not backing out of his en-
gagement, but he is more polite
than ! and wishes to make his fare
well before he goes. So polished
are his manners hat he ~retires as
he might at court and presently will
follow with the whip"

WON H INDIAN.
The Boy Showed the Armed h0dskln
How TO Play Marbles.


One who visits an encampment
of Indians is likely to find many of
the younger members and some of
the older ones practicing games or
feats of skill. In the CHRONICLES
Of a Kentucky Settlement" MIR.
Watts tells how a boy of eleven
years of age showed an Indian how
to play marbles. The boy, Joseph
Adair, was on his way from Hills
boro, N. c., to Tennessee in the
fall of 1906. The lad had become
separated from his foster fathers
family some little distance on the
trail when he met an Indian mex
pectedly.
Joseph had been lettering along
behind the teams, "plumping" mar
bles, a dozen or mor Of which he
had brought with him from Hills
boro, when he was much alarmed on
seeing in the road directly in front
of him a large, fierce looking In
dian, rifle in hand and otherwise
equipped with tomahawk and knife,
after the name of his race.
The lads first i~mpulse-so he
afterward related-was to turn and
run for his life. But this he knew,
after a moments consideration,
would be unavailing and would,
moreover, be not only equivalent to
a confession of cowardice. but
would increase his danger.
His next thought was to shout
aloud for help. But then it struck
him that probably he could not
make himself heard, and even if he
could the doubt thus expressed as
to the Indians ~peaceable intentions
might anger the savage, in which
event his deadly work could be ac-
complished before any one could
come to the boys assistance.
These thoughts ran quickly
through the boys mind. the Indian
meanwhile standing like "A statue in
the road. Ii then occurred to Jo-
seph that the Indian was closely
observing the marbles, and he de-
termined to resort to a little friend
ly diplomacy.
Picking up the marbles and hold
ing them out in the palm of his
hand, he approached the dusky
stranger and with as calm a voice
as he could command said: MAR
bles! Do you want one? May have
both. ] have more"
The Indian took the marbles and
examined one of them so closely
that the boy supposed the savage
had never before seen such a toy
and was trying to determine its
use. Upon this he took two other
marbles from his pocket, and, cast
ing one of them some six or eight
feet from him. he properly adjust
ed the other between his thumb and
finger and, showing the position to
the Indian, took deliberate aim.
He hit the marble that he shot at
SO plump that it was knocked sew
eral yards. The one he had shot
spun around in almost the same
place from which the other had
been driven.
1t was "A good shot. The Indian.
observing the game, uttered some
thing like "A grunt of approval and.
placing the marbles given him in
his pouch, without a word or a gcs-
ture stepped from the road and dis
appeared in the forest.
