She Meant Well.

Bishop Mcdowell has recovered from
recent illness sufficiently to receive his
friends and entertain them with story
now and then. Some years ago the
bishop was presiding over confer
ence in the South. At the close of the
session an old negro nanny who had
been an interested listener throughout
the proceedings approached the bishop
to congratulate him.
"Ah's done attended confunces hyah
since befo' de wah,'' she said. "Ah g
seen Bishop Simpson an Bishop Fow-
Ter an Bishop Merrill, but All nevah
saw no bishop who could preside lax
you"
Bishop Mcdowell thanked her for the
compliment and was about to turn away.
''But," added the old regress, "Ah IN

Called Him Down.

At social affair the other night the
conversation turned to justifiable re-
monstrances, when Congressman Frank
b. Willis of Ohio was reminded of the
rebuke administered by pretty girl
named Marie.
One afternoon some time ago Marie
called on her dearest girl chum, and
soon the two fairies were deep in the
details of the gowns and things seen
at a reception the evening before.
And do you know, Alice" conf
dentially murmured Marie, when the
subject reverted to the guests, "Harry

A Poets Dream.

Apropos of Marshall r. Kernochan,
who makes $50 year by writing music,
magazine poet said:
"To make $50 year out of music is
pretty good. It's as much as l, a sue
cessful poet, make out of verse.
" When they see my poetry in all the
magazines people think that l live at
the Charlton. Alas, they don t
know the magazine poetry rates.

An Ancient Calf.

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain mannerisms
of expression. A parson had habit of
frequently saying "for years and years
and years" in the course of sermon.
He was preaching on the Prodigal Son,
and spoke Of him sitting down in that
far-off land thinking of the home that
he had not seen "for years and years
and years"
This was ali right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and Of the calf which his father had
kept in anticipation of that happy day.
eyes" said he, dropping into his
favorite cadence for the winding up of
a sentence, eyes, the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years!"
Then somebody laughed.

Stories With a Smile
Has a Boss Now,

Il AFE CHOATE, the man who hitched
l. his wife to plow with two mules
and plowed with her in the fields
three years ago, has taken a second wife
and there another story.
Choate got married again last week,
Miss Bessie Evans of Kansas City being
his bride. At the time Judge John Steep
warned Miss Evans of Choate s charac-
ter.
"Oh, l know all about him." she re-
Piled. "lf there any plowing to be
done he IL do it,
She apparently has made her threat
good. Choate, the terrible, is waiting on
his wife as a courtier waits on a queen,
the neighbors say.
Perhaps the reason is that his bride
weighs 200 pounds. Choate was nearly
lynched by the farmers of Clay county
three years ago, and the fright also
may have tanned his disposition. A di-
vorce followed his prosecution and term
OF ten days in Jail at that time.
