A very good young man in town
called on a girl the other evening,
and,, aftec, talking a few minutes,
asked her if she would have any ob
jection to his offering up a prayer. She
said no, and he got down en his knees
and told the Lord that he intended to
ask the young woman Then present to
be his wife, and hoped tho Lord would
move her to consent. After exhorting
fifteen minutes, He arose to his feet,
but the girl had left the room, and
has steadily refused to see him since.
Very often people meet and have a
long conversation, each one knowing
that the other is lying. One will say
in effect: "I saw a very peculiar star
in the heavens last night and flew up
there to look at it." Whereupon the
other will reply, in effect: "Yes, I
flew up there myself, and saw you on
the way. The star Is not so remark
able, after all, when you come to look
at it." This nabit is so common that
naturalism and simplicity are very
popular. This habit, is also responsi
ble for tho fact that most statements
are taken witlTa grain of allowance.
COSTLY PIECE OF EARTHWARE.
OF POST-MORTEM PRAISES.
I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
matter what he's been
A saintly chap or one whoso life was
darkly steeped in sin
His friends forget tho bitter words
they spoke but yesterday,
And now they And a multitude of
pretty things to say.
I fancy, when I go to rest some one
will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long
burled out of sight;
But, if it's all the same to you, just
give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and
the knocking when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon
my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are
-hurled upon me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while
I mourn hero alone.
And don't save all your eulogy to
carve upon a. stone!
What do I care if when I'm dead the
Hloomingdale Gazette
Gives me a write-up with a cut in
mourning borders set;
It will not flatter me a bit, no matter
what is said.
So kindly throw your boquets now
and knock me when I'm dead.
Ic may be fine, when one is dead, to
have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads
from relatives, you know;
It may be nice to have these things
for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned, I
really do not mind.
I'm quite alive and well today, and
while I linger here,
Lend me a helping hand at times
give me a word of cheer,
Just change tho game a little bit;
just kindly swap tho decks,
For I will bo no judge of flowers when
I've cashed in my checks.

Pennsylvania Museum Acquired Toft

Philadelphia. One of the most im

Pennsylvania museum, in Memorial
hall, Is a largo earthenwnro dish,
known as a Toft dish, which was mado
by Thomas Toft of Staffordshire, Eng
land, about 1GCC, at the time of tho res
toration of Charles II. Toft ware, as
it is generally called, is exceedingly
scarce, and this Is tho first example
that Is known to have been brought to
the United States.
' The museum owes its acquisition to
tho generosity of William P. Henszey
vf the Baldwin Locomotive works. The
director, Dr Barber, who Is the recog

through his agents abroad, for an au
thentic specimen of this early English
manufacture. Some time ago he heard
o( a piece in possession of a London
dealer, but. the price demanded, $700,
was beyond the limited resources of
the museum, although It was consid
ered a reasonable price for so great a
rarity. The matter was laid beforo
Mr. Henszey, who at once offered to
provide the necessary sum, and the
purchase was authorized.
When the director received the pro
clous piece of earthenware from tho
custom house in Now York he took It
up to the Metropolitan museum and
exhibited it to the envious olflclals
there, and ho received an offer of
twice the amount that had been paid
or it.
Toft dishes, which are usually about
IS inches in diameter, wore uroduced
In England before porcelain was in
vented, and they were considered at
that time works of great merit. The
decoration is made by pouring liquid
clay, or slip, through a quill attached
to a little cup, tho designs being tracet
In the same manner as patterns In
sugar Icing are applied to cakes. The
Toft dish which has been procured by
the museum bears five medallions,
each one containing a rude portrait of
Charles II, and in the central medal
lion are tho Initials It. C, for Rex
Carolus King Charles. Toft used tho
royalty and nobility of the period as
decorative subjects for his dishes.

"Like many a statesman of the

drank too much. And one Fourth of
July morning, on a platform hung
with Hags and flowers beforo the
courthouse of a country town, facing
an audience of farmers and their fam

tho statesman arose to deliver the In
dependence day oration in a slightly
intoxicated state.
"He was not incapable of an ora
tion, but his unsteady gait, Ills flushed
face and disordered attire spoke ill
of him, and tho audience hissed.
"Ho held up his hand. They were
silent. Then ho laughed scornfully
and said:
" 'Ladies and gentlemen, whon a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear in such a little, one-horse
town as this, ho must be either drunk
or crazy. I prefer to bo considered an
Inebriate.' " Washington Star.

Sho wont u,i to him and said In a
low tone of vcice: "Freddie, put down
your plate; it is not polite to pick it
up and lick it."
Fred obeyed at once, quietly plac

licked it.
