appointment When he entered the race for
the appointment he attempted to resign
his position as secrelary-treanurer, the

Short Stones Well Told
President Pattou of Princeton university

Patton spoke of the blind faith of Ih" c'.lcut
who puts himself at the mercy of a ki.er

t'oiillileuce of the sick In intrusting them

"In a cam of blind faith." said the clergy
man. "The doctor writes out a prescrip

Hi you don't know what It is. Ho tells you
to take It. 'Yours not lo reason why, yours

Whether or not Dr. Patton meant it, thero
was a distinct ripple throughout the con

widow of "Harry Cornwall" and mother of

The woman was then SO years old, and In
giving Mr. Arnold a cup of lea she asked,
with the pardonable frankness of ago-
"nd what did they nay about you In
America?"
"Well." said the literary autocrat, "they
said I was conceited. They said my dollies
did not lit me."
"Well, now," commented the old woman.

The Cicrnmn papers" are telling the story
of one of Ihe Jokes In which the queen of

greeted her. she met him with an air of
childish relief and conlldence.
"Oh. my dear mynheer, I am ho glad that
you have come." she said. "I have wanted
you. Here Is a letter of thanks from n lit
tle king. Wo conferred the order of tho
Lion upon him becnuse he was so good to
our Dutch subjects. Now we want you,
who are so famous a linguist, lo pronounce

The Haltered professor took the paper,

the klnd-henrteil little queen relented.

Tho late Ignatius Donnelly loved a eon
liovcrsy, hut was often daring and unscru
pulous In his debating methods In his
great debate with Slmnis. Ihe American
Protective association prophet, he appeared
to a very large audience. Slnitus. in one
of his most forceful tirades against Ito
mau Catholicism, read a papal hull Issued
100 years ago. The hull was by no means
a prepossessing sort of document, consid
ered In the light of modern understanding.
"Thnt," cried Donnelly, leaping to the
front of the stage. "Is a deliberate forgery,
gentlemen. The Rnglish words used In this
alligcd papal hull were not in existence Inn
.ears ngo."
There was an Instant of silence following
this denunciatory statement. Slmnis looked
at Dnnne'Iy and seemed about to say some
thing, but he hisltnted and was lost. The
amllcnce cheered the Indignant little man
vociferously and from that out he had
smooth sailing.
Subsequently n close friend of Mr. Don
nelly asked him whether he really knew
that the words he had mentioned In the
doctwuout were of more recent date than
Ihe paper Itself.
"No," replied the orator, "hackling
softly nt the recollection of Slmnis' dis
comfiture. "I didn't know It, hut I was
quite sntlslled that tho audit nee had not
studied the mntter, so I sprung a bomb on
Slmnis."

Later, In his 'teens, he atiemled an acad

the farm and went to Franklin college,
while he spent thiee jears under tho per

Then he took a special course at Ashury,

During all these years of preparatory

Two years later he was again a member
