Take Your Choice of Morals.

Escape of a student who fell down
the Lutschine gorge in the Alps but
was caught on a rock and remained
suspended for two days and nights,
recalls to the London Chronicle an
other GrundelWald escape of which
Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from
the chalet above the Eismeer, one Of
Stephens guides, Michel, reached the
edge of cliff where wooden rail
guarded the path. Unfortunately the
rail left off prematurely, and Michel
had been drinking. So he stepped
over and fell on hard rock nearly 100
feet below. He lay there all night
and next morning got up and walked
home, sober and whole. Stephen sub
mits two morals for choice: Don't
get drunk when you have to walk
along the edge Of an Alpine cliff" and
Get drunk if you are likely to fall
over an Alpine cliff.

The Winner.

A benevolent old lady in one of tho
streets which still retain the red
brick houses of old-time New York
looked out of her parlor window one
day and saw q man walking up and
down the sidewalk, apparently in great
detection. There was something pa.
thetic and appealing in his manner;
so she took a dollar bill, put it in an
envelope and wrote on the envelope,
"Never say de-"
She slipped out of the house in the
most casual manner she could assume
and handed the envelope to the man
as she passed him.
Next day the same melancholy man
called at her house and presented her
with ten dollars.
Tt's funny" he said, you're the
only one that backed that horse called

Gently by the postmaster Of a small
town. He told us how every stamp

They are too small to go through the
