visitor would first ask the pupils the
question, who made you?" and
the pupil was, of course, to answer
God" The next question was to
be "Of what?" to which the answer
was to be "Of the dust of the earth"
Unfortunately between the time Sun
day school was called to order and
the visiting superintendent had TAX

teacher did not have the opportunity
TO readjust her force, and when the
first question was asked. the second
boy thought it a good opportunity
for him to get his answer and get it
off his mind; so to the question,

An amusing incident occurI ed in
hotel few nights ago. 1t appears.
that farmer from South Jersey
who was unusually ignorant of city
ways, went to the hotel with his
son. The father retired early, bot
the son went out to see the town.
At 12:3v o'clock the farmer went
down stairs and inquired of the night
clerk if the boy had retired yet He
was told that he had not. The
father went back to his room An
hour later he again appeared before
the clerk and said:
"Hain't Jack in yet?''
Again he was informed that the
lad was out. The old man made
several subsequent trips, and still hiS
boy was among the missing. Finally
at $3.50 O'Clock the farmer trudged
YEARLY down the stairs and asked
again if his boy had returned.
mo, he's not in yet,' replied the
night clerk.
WAL, l guess he won't come in
then. Guess you needn't wait up
any longer"

THAT RECORD JUMP BY WlsnlseTON
Alleged Origin of Thackeray's Story
of the % Foot Leap.

Three college athletes have had an
ideal shattered by reading para
graph in a speech that Sir G. Trevel-
yam made in London before the Pub
fishers Circle at recent dinner
These men, in addition to being ath-
letes, are devoted to Thackeray and
The Virginians.
There is reference in that book
to the prowess of George Washing
ton as an athlete, particularly as
broad jumper. This is to the erect
that Washington was able to jump
% feet, which, considering that 1t
was away back in the eighteenth CEN
fury, was some leap. Although the
best American record now is "a feet
IN inches, it has not been standing
SO long, and in the early days OF
American athletics 22 feet was a re-
markable performance in the broad
jump.
These three used to pride them
selves on knowing about that per-
Torrance credited to Washington,
and they pointed out how in 1876
and for three years following the
American championship was won by
leaps of less than 20 feet, and that
from 1880 to 1885 inclusive the
champion did not do % feet, al
though close to it on several occa-
sions.
So they used always to tell folks
who asked about great broad jump
ers that Washington held the Ameri-
can record from 1852 to 1885. What
shattered all this was the following
from the Trevelyan speech:
Il was present at dinner where
Thackeray discoursed to delightful
audience of young people about The
Virginians," which he was then writ
ing and which seemed to fill his mind
to the exclusion of everything else.
Among other matters he asked us,
all around the table, what was the
widest jump any of us had ever
known, and when we agreed upon
twenty-one feet, he said: Then |
must make George Washington jump
one foot more.

A Little Devil in the Heart.

An insane devil turks in the heart

is the little devil that makes a
young wife ask her devoted husband
which of the two he would save if
she and her mother were drowning,

Magazine 1t is the same little devil
that is responsible for infinite men

wretch is instantly perjured. My

atrocious liar; and the little devil
cooes with satisfaction and curls
himself up snugly to sleep.

Uses of Irish Peat.

Consul Henry S. Culver, Of Cork,
writes that the peat beds of Ireland
may yet become a valuable asset in
the country's industrial development
other than for fuel if, as is now
claimed upon the authority of an
Austrian experimenter. the fibres Of
the remains of the reeds and grasses
of which peat is composed can be
utilized not only for paper-making
and carpets, but for weaving the fin
est fabrics as we'll. The claim is put
forth that the fibre is elastic and dur
able, and, being a non-conductOr Of
heat, the cloth manufactured from it
is as tough as linen and as warm as

.BUNK" OR aBUNC."
The Former the Northern, the Latter
the Southern Spelling.

The Former the Northern, the Latter
the Southern Spelling.
1T never occurred to me that
there could be any two ways of SPELL
ing the word bunk % said the
scholarly appearing person who was
studying the sporting section of the
newspaper. But happened to pick
up a Memphis newspaper the other
day. and as head to speech made
by Commissioner Loomis in Toxic
recently l read: LOOMS Hands
Out the Bunc.'
Now, without endeaving to go
into the merits of the case so put /
want to say only that the headline
meant that Mr.. LOOMS was accused
of softsoaping the japanese he ad-
dressed The only other authority
for the spelling of the word comes
from the sporting cartoonists, whose
work l study carefully. They are
unanimous in spelling it bunk"
1T appears to me that the South
ern version is based on belief that
the word is diminutive of bun
cOmbe.' The Northern spelling may
be due to the belief that a person
who may be bunked Is a person of
sleepy or dopy nature, who might as
well be lying in a bunk, wrapped
in slumber. Therefore when a per-.
son is bunked he is rendered sleepy.
That is merely conjecture"

graved in stone and now preserved
in the National Museum of Mexico.
Fifty-two years constituted cycle
with the Aztecs. Each year had 365
days. There were IS months of 20
days each and five additional days
that were considered very unlucky,
and were devoted to human sacrifice.
The month was divided into four
weeks of five days each. The days
were such names as Rain" Mon
key" and Small Bird" and each
day of the month had a name. Whole
phrases were used for the names Of
some months.

This" said Mr.. Goslington, II
confess is rather puzzling to me, but
am inclined to think that | get
left in it.
''The elevated car in which / rode
home late yesterday afternoon was
as usual at that hour crowded, and
so as usual / hung on by strap.
But a few stations along the man in
front of whom l had been standing
got up and went out, leaving a va
cant seat, which of course l might
have taken but which / did not take.
for a step or two further back in the
car there was standing, holding on
by a strap, a young woman talking
with a young man who was standing
near her, holding on by the next
strap.
What did was to indicate to this
young woman that here was seat
for her, at which she turned and
stepped across the car, as supposed,
to occupy the seat that | had thus
left for her. But just what she did
was this:
Sitting down on one side OF this
seat, she edged along little further
on that side, thus making her next
neighbor there, a woman, move along
little, and thus providing half the
seat vacant, and now she invited the
young man with whom she had been
talking to sit down beside her, which
he did, all this leaving me to stand
there, completely ignored, in front
Of them.
Sitting down as she did she dis
commoded the person, the woman
sitting next to her, and crowding in
to sit beside her, as he had to do,
the young man with her discommod-
ed the person sitting next to him.
Thus this lady would appear to have
proceeded when her opportunity
came with entire disregard of every
body but herself, seeking with ut
ter selfishness solely her own COM
fort and pleasure, or so we might
have thought, if it were possible to
think i'll of any woman, which do
not: but while the situation was a
little puZzling. it certainly did seem
as if she had sort of made a gump
of me, don't you think?"-New York
