to pry the door open, III inquired il he
had unlocked both locks" No only one,
don't think the other one is locked"
on trying the second lock it was found
TO be locked and as soon as the key was
turned the door opened, C"Well what a
d., fool l was not to unlock both
locks" ~ "What are you over here so
early in the morning for?" "When We
went home Monday, we forgot to throw
out the water pail and every time we
do it, the mice drown in the pail and
have to buy new pail, sure enough
when we looked in the pail there re-
posed two dead mice, and Mrs. Angel
will insist ON new pail"

What's the Mattef With Thom..9

What's the Matter With Thomas?
 There are some names which seem peculiarly suited to royalty; Louis. for instance, has kingly sound. Francis. George, Henry in both spellings, Charles, William, Edward and James all have served their turn. Johns there have been. and Stephens. remember 8 Robert in Sicily and Peter in Rus .sia and Seryia. Frederick has often worn the crown. and royal honors are even now paid to Ferdinand in Bull garia. But was there ever. anywhere, q king named Thomas? Oscars and even Haakens ascend the dais. but ever through all the centuries Thomas remains the subject, sometimes strug- gling up to bishopric or an earldom, but never attaining the crown. Nicho-. lases wear the imperial purple; God freys lord it over Jerusalem; Alexis struts in ermine; Alexanders fare forth to conquest; Julius and Leo don the triple crown, but Thomas. poor plebeian Thomas, has never a crown to his name. Now tell me, you who are wise in the occult influence of names, what is the matter with Tom ?-London Idler.
