"Chicago is the foremost MethodlBt
city in the world," says the American
Illustrated Methodist ningizino in the
course of an article on Chicago Meth
odism. This, it asserts, is shown in
part by the. fact that during the last
15 years about SO Methodist, ehurehe.i
have been erected in the city and dur
ing the last two or three years
churches have been erected on an
average of one a month, these being
records that arc not equaled else

May 1, 1900, wus a memorable day
in the annals of Porto Pico. On that

iys years which has passed since the
stars and stripes were first raised
over the island it has been governed
by military power, but that regime
ceases. Tlio island's political ex
istence as part of one of the great
states of Christendom has begun.

A Jokn on Itnril.
A good story is told in West Vir
ginia involving two of the congress
men from thnt snug little, state and
Thomns 13. Peed, tho gigantic speaker
of the last house. The two West Vir
ginians are Pltickburn P. Dovener and
Pomeo Hoyt Freer. Poth are small in
stature and wonderfully alike in their
general appearance. Toge.ther they
want up to the ponderous Maine man
to be introduced.
Humph!" said Mr. Peed, "is that
the best the Persimmon state can
do?"
"What do you mean?" asked Mr.
Freer.
"Nothing," drawled the elephantine
speaker. "I was only wondering at
the uniformity of things down your
way. I suppose tho horses aro nil
ponies and thu persimmons all
dwarfs "
"Well," interrupted Mr. Freer,
"there is ono thing in our favor, the
persimmon has more taste than tho
pumpkin."
The laugh was on the speaker, and
he acknowledged it by cordially grasp
ing the hands of the lilliputians and
joining in the merriment. Success.
IIU Offer.
A generous if not alluring offer was
that made by an exasperated physi
cian to the penurious father of an
insane young man. The old man
wished to secure his son's admission
to the insnnn asylum, but unwilling
to pay for the necessary certificate.
After hearing his plea of poverty
which the doctor knew to be false
and hearing him, also tell of the nuriv
expenses to which ha had been put
by his ungrateful children, the physi
cian waved his hand to end tho
recital. "Now seo here," he said,
sharply, "you just pay me for this
one, and 1 11 give you a certificate for
yourself whenever you wish to libe it,
for nothing!" Youth's Companion.
