A Faithful Servant.

Carlyle told once of a lawsuit
pending in Scotland affecting the
succession to q great estate of which
he had known something. The case
depended on a family secret known
only to one old servant, who re-
fused to reveal it. A kirk minister
was sent to tell her she must speak
on peril of her soul. @Peril of my
SAUL" she said. "And would ye put
the honor of an auld Scottish fam
lily IN competition with the saul of
a poor creature like me?"

MAKING PUNS UPON NAMES.
A Peculiar Brand Of Hunor That Mas
Once Quite Popular.

In the days of Theodore Hook
and his merry friends Jokes upon
proper names were quite the thing,
and while the auditors grinned the
victim bore the inhiction with as
much dignity as he could summon
up. AS a specimen Of Hookian wit
of this kind the following may
serve: "a humorist of this epoch
q am rot quite sure whether it was
the sprishtly Theodore himself), in
vited to the house of a Mr.. Pepper,
greeted his host with the words,
How happy you must be, Mr.. Pep
per, to see your friends all mus
teredp" \ better instance, per-
haps, is Hooks impromptu when a
tax collector called Winter was seen
to be at the door:
Here comes Mr.. Winter collector Of
advise you 20 pay him Whatever he
axes.
You had much better pay him without
any ffummeyy.
Though Winters his name, his proceed
ings are summary.
The most fearsome and complete
pun of this kind was made by an
examiner who had to tell a certain
undergraduate the result Of his viva
voce The undergraduates name
was Field Flowers Goe, and he sub
sequently attained some eminence
in the church. The verdict wes,
''The Field is plowed, the Flowers
are plucked, and you, sir, can Goep
There is variety of the pun
upon a name, however, that one is
almost inclined to forgive OF at
least to regard With a certain le-
niency. 1t is when some familiar
quotation is given an apt twist
which brings In the cognomen Of
the victim. One of the best Of this
kind is attributed to Sir William
Harcourt. Listening to a long de-
scended baronet named Knightley
descanting ON the antiquity of his
family, the politician was heard to
misquote well known hymn as fol-
lows:
And Knightley to the listening earth

James Payn, the novelist and ed
