HIS M0DESTY OF HIGH ORDER
Tinker, of Course, Loved His Neighbor as Himself, but That Wasn't
 Too Much.

Lord Tankerville, who Is sending his son to an American school, said the other day in New York:
 There are too many Englishmen- and English boys as well-who de- velop, in the presence of lord, a painful and unnatural modesty. Their modesty reminds me of village tin ker.
 This tinker had a rather crusty disposition, and his pastor said to him one day:
 My man, you should love your neighbor as yourself
 Yes, sir said the tinker.
 But the pastor had in mind a nasty black eye that the tinker had given the bricklayer next door, and so he went on:
 Do you, though, do you honestly, love your neighbor as yourself?
 Yes, sir; oh, yes, sir said the tinker; and he added, but I'm mod est man, ye see, and, to tell the truth, I ain't bit stuck on myself, sir"
