ouTwITTEp HIMSELF.
He Succeeded, Though, In Getting the
Cattle ovt of his Field.


Cattle out Of His Field.
An Irish gentleman of another
generation took it into his head
that those in his employment were
not serving him as they ought, more
especially in the early morning be-
fore any one was stirring. He de-
termined, therefore, on series of
matutinal visits.
The second time he went abroad
in the early morning he saw in a
field, known as Skinnegan, which
bordered the avenue leading to his
residence and which had been
empty the previous day, six un-
known cattle quietly grazing.
He promptly drove the offending
animals out of the field and down
the avenue to the gate. There some
barelegged boys from an adjacent
cabin lent him ready and joyful as
sistance, and at the head Of this
ragged company, armed with sticks
and branches, he personally con-
Quoted the trespassers to the viii
lage pound and saw them securely
shut in before returning, heated
and incensed, to breakfast.
"That's the way I'm served" he
complained to his family, "that lazy
herd of mine not troubling to mend
my fences and half the cattle in
the county allowed to trample in
and out of my best grazing places
as they pleased Wait till I find
Master Ned after breakfast, and I'll
give him the best dressing down
he's ever had in his lifep
There was, however, no need to
go in search of the delinquent, for
before breakfast was ended mes
sage was brought in that the
herder was without, desiring to see
the master. Ned was upon the hall
steps, much crestfallen and alarmed.
'1'm sorry to have to tell it to
your honor" he began humbly, 'ebut
there's six of your honor's cattle in
the pound. l put them in Skinne-
gan late last night an shut the gate
on 'em meself, an how they got
but an went shtrayin' on me"-
He got no further, for the master,
who had with difficulty restrained
himself until then, beat hasty re-
treat to the dining room, where he
collapsed into a chair and laughed
until his family had fears of an i'm
pending apoplectic seizure.
aThenceforth he gave up his early
inspections and left the care Of
his property to his underlings.--

The Value Of System.

The great majority OF people
could double their power of achieve
ment by little self discipline in
learning so as to get hold of them
selves as to depend on the prompt,
decisive action of their own facul-
ties. A little system alone would
double the efficiency of many bus
mess man who does not know why
he does not get on faster. He works
very hard perhaps and thinks that
he has not half time enough to do
what he ought to, but he could save
more than half the time that he
now throws away in doing things
over and over again from lack of
order. System is a tremendous
energy saver and time saver.Ori-

THE BISHOP AND THE BELLS.
Why tho Now Set Of Chimes Did Not
Ring True.

why the Now Set OF Chimes Did Not
Ring True.
AS illustrating how the simple
facts of life are forgotten or over
looked by one whose mind is occu-
pied with greater things a New Or
leans clergyman told an anecdote
of the late Bishop Newman of
Washington.
81 was young curate in Wash
ington," said the clergyman. cat
the time the Memorial church was
being built. The bishop, at no little
expense, had set of chimes made,
and it was his hope to have them
ready in time for the dedication of
the church.
swell, the bells were delivered
ahead of time by the makers, one of
the best firms of its kind in the
country, and men were being sent
to hang them as soon as the belfry
should be ready. But the bells
were finished off plain, and this
was not at all the bishops idea of
what church bells should be, so
without telling any one he called in
local firm that did such work and
had inscribed on each bell a Bib
lical quotation appropriate to the
chimes.
ga week or more later the belfry
was ready. The makers sent their
men to hang the bells, and the
bishop engaged for the dedicatory
service one of the best chime ring
ers in the country. He brought him
on from Boston.
GAS the time drew near the bell
ringer took his seat at the bell
board and at signal started to
play. High up in the air began the
most awful discord. The bishop
dispatched messenger posthaste
to order the performer to stop, for
it was the bishops idea that either
the heat or something else had af-
fected his playing.
"At the close of the ceremony,
from which the chimes were
omitted, the bellman was summoned
TO the bishops study, and the bishop
demanded to know by what right
he called himself an artist. The
chime ringer became indignant and
replied it was the fault of the bells.
He had played on bells from ocean
to ocean and in the cathedrals of
Europe, yet he never had seen such
things as those in the belfry.
Impossible replied the bishop.
'Those bells were bought from the
best firm in the country. The
trouble was with the ringer, not
with the BELLS
'The ringer would not have it so.
His reputation was at stake, SO the
maker of the bells was sent for and
the circumstances related to him.
He sat down to play them, but at
the first stroke he saw something
was wrong. Up he hastened to the
belfry to see what it was.
eeThe instant he saw the inscrip-
tions he understood. The slightest
cut or nick on fine bell will ruin
it's tone, and in his desire to have
them appropriate to their task the
bishop had spoiled the entire set.
"The maker could do nothing
with them, he said. They were good
for nothing but old metal For
years they hung silent in the belfry
and new set substituted. New
York Times.

Their Secret.

A little boy who had been very
naughty during the day went to his
mother just before his father re-
turned home.
'fMother," he said, sis it really
true that a woman can't keep q
secret? ?"
''Why, no, dear, Of course not"
replied the mother. "That's only
a joke of your fathers. Tell me,
sweetheart, what's the secret that
you'd like me to keep?"

wasn't good today" Philadelphia

There is no such thing as exhaust ing the industrial resources of any country where men and womn are willing to work with heads and hands. since little Greece took her place at the front of the nations But her ann has not yet passed into eclipse. A late report Of our consular agent at Athens shows that the foreign fsaae of Greece for 1910 amounted fA s57.iS7, ,53e, as compared with sss s02. .e3s in 1909. The value Of ssBorts was S30. .591 ,125, against Sl9.- s7e s32 in 1909 The increase in the goreien trade is attributed to the marked development of the resour- ces of the country and to large ex- tent to improved political and other conditions.
