her husbands mother. they had not

Yesterday new friend OF mine told
me this story about her childhood.
She lived In n little fishing village
on the shore Of the ocean. When eho

them this girl and several Of her cous-

relapses and when the scourSe hnaHy

She and three OF her cousins were
found to be in the early stages or tu-

She was an only child and her par

Speaking of repartee, says a writer
in the London Morning Post, reminds
us of one that would be hard to beat.
The house of lords was debating an
anti-ChurCh bill when Atterbury, blsh-
op of Rochester, said: ~ prophesied
last year that this bill would be intro
duced this session; am sorry to find
that | have proved true prophet"
Lord COnigsby then arose and said !:
"One Of the bishops has set himself
forth as prophet; the only prophet
can think Of likening him to is Balaam,
who was reproved by his own ass"
When the laughter had subsidized At
terbury rose, and remarked: "Since
the noble lord has discovered such
similitude, | am content to be COM
pared with the prophet Balaam; but,
my lords, am at loss how to make
