"Implicated a planter -of sinister repute. The planter's chief witness was a servant named Calhoun White. The prosecution believed that , Calhoun White knew much about his master's shady side. It also belitvcd that Calhoun. In his misplaced affec tion, would lie lu his master's behalf. "When, on the stand. Calhoun was ready for cross examination, the pros ecuting counsel said to him sternly: "'Now. Calhoun. I want you t understand the Importance of telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth In this case. "'Yes. sah.' said Calhoun. "'You know what will happen. 1 suppose. If you don't tell the truth T "'Yes. sah. said Calhoun promptly. 'Our side Ml win de case.' Be Considerate. We lose trust In each other not through the faults of our neighbors, but because of our own exactions. We expect too much from others, too little from ourselves, always viewing our friends from our standpoint, forgetful of the suffering, the worry and the toll which demand attention on our right and left.

Sir Henry Holland, the noted Eng lish physician, had his studies Inter rupted by u youth who wanted advice. The young man. with considerable swagger, said he proposed locating In some town as an oculist. A city In which a large number of students were located was preferred. "Thero," he coutiuued. "I would have unlimited opportunities of treating the eyes of overstudlous scholars." Dr. Holland was reluctant to have n community's eyes endangered because of his Indorsement of n doubtful prac titioner. He thought a few moments and then advised the ambitious oculist to locate In n small town near Liver pool, stating that a large school was located there. The young mau thanked the doctor. In a few days he reached the suggest ed field for his experiments. The large buildings In the distance Indicat ed a magnificent school and splendid pportunltles. He Investigated and collapsed. The school was one for the hopelessly Mind. Lively Cheete. A young lady entered a grocer's shop In London and asked for some good cheese. The grocer showed her an assortment which did not please her.

When James Payn was editor of the Cornhill Magazine bis private olllce was invaded one day by an unan nounced visitor who hnd managed to evade the porter downstairs. The call er's hair was long, and his clothes were shabby and untidy. He bud a roll of paper In his himd. I'ayn, surmising a poet and nn epic several thousand lines long, looked up. "Well, sir?" "I've brought you something about sarcoma and carcinoma." "We are overcrowded wltb poetry couldn't accept another line, not If It were by Milton." , "Poetry!" the caller flashed. "Do nu know anything about sarcoma and carcinoma V" "Italian lovers, aren't they?" said Payn imperturbably. The caller retreated with a wither ing glance at the editor. Under the same roof as the Cornhill was the office of a medical and surgical Jour nal, and it was this that the caller sought for the disposal of a treatise en those cancerous growths with the euphonious names which, with a lay Iran's Ignorance, Payn ascribed to poetry. McClure's. Things to Forget. If you see a tall fellow ahead of crowd. A leader of men, marching- fearless and proud, And you know of a tale whose mere tell ing1 aloud WouM cause hta proud head to In anguish be bowed. H's a pretty good plan to forget It.

Still endeavoring to conceal his vexa tion, Mr. Tattersall called out "One hundred guineas?" "One hundred guineas?" echoed Mathews. "Thank you. sir." cried Mr. Tatter sall, bringing down the hammer with a bang, "the filly is yours!" Could He Help It?

"I'm very sorry." said the mother, "but the truth Is until 1 get to the hos pital I shan't be able to quiet him." "Dear me! What's the matter wltft him?"
