up without dusting It and helped Mr. Car

the poet thundered: "Roy! What do you

When rreeldent Roosevelt was In Sharon
Springs, Mo., a countryman stepped up and
aid to a member of tho presldent'al party:
"Wtiar'l the presldentT" Mr. Roosevelt,
ccntlng something good, said: "Do you
wish to him particularly?" "I never Been
but one president In my life an', of course,
I would like to see him on gln'ral prin
ciples," replied the countryman. "Rut what
I wants to see this one fur mos' particular
la to aee If he's got them squirrel teeth
the papers nay he has." And then and there
the president displayed hla "squirrel" teeth
In the broadest of grins. "Gosh ter biases,
you're the feller," said the man as he hur
ried away.

wanted to see "beautiful play,

the New York Times.
"I'd rather you didn't attend the theater
Just yet, dear," ."aid the mother. "I'm
afraid the influence of some of the present
plays Is demoralising. What Is this partic
ular one?"
"Ifa very exciting, the boy next door told
me; It's a Bort of Buffalo Bill play, full of
fights, and gambling and murders, and
things."
"Oh, that's all right, then," waa the re
ply, In a measured tone, "I'll send one of
the maids with you. I feared it might bo a
society drama!"
David M. Parry, president of the Na

"In the church that I attended as a boy,"
be said, "there were frequent clashes be

motto Is. "Don't Knock, Roost." While the

No one has ever accused him of being p
"l:nockcr," but on the other hand ho has
Ikii known to work overtime at "boost

gone on his various trips, nnd everywhwt
he haa raised his voice in public or private

The Gorman Presbyterians are not often
heard of, for the very good reason that
they do not seek public attention to any
aerloua afftvlr to settle with Leopold II of
Relglum on hla next visit to the French
capital, which will occur toward the end ot
tho present month. It seems that when the
king was last there, in February, he dined
at the club off a "canard (tux navels,"
which he pronounced to be the finest he
had ever eaten, and tho next day the chef
of tho club disappeared. It was later
learned that he had been kidnaped by the
Relglan monarch and Is now In charge ol
the royal kitchens at I-aehen. Then the
Jockey club met and resolved some dis
agreeable things about the old royal roue,
with moro to come.
The life of the Scotch boy, Donald Smith,
now Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal,
would read more like romance If It were
not ao studded with improbabilities. Peo
ple like their romances to be possible; It la
only from reality that will be endured the
touches of extravagance which turn stan
dard fiction into fairy tales, says the Cos
mopolitan. Young Donald Smith, dreaming
In his Scotch village of the stirring adven

North America, and afterward becoming
fur trader himself, first aa a clerk of the
Hudson Ray company In the bleakest cor

The minister, after the choir had sung the
opening hymn, said, with a significant
smile, that his text would be from Acts,

the choir at the sermon's end, retorted very

"We had a judge out In Iowa he Is dead
now who caused me many a side-splitting
laugh." says Secretary Shaw of the United
States treasury. "He was deliberate and
quaint In manner and speech, always mod
erate In tone and used few gestures. He
had been appointed Judge by the governor
of the state and had served for one term
just to get the title and then resumed bis
large practice. After the governor had
served his term also he took up his practice.
The two were always severe on each other
la the trial of a caaa. One day the former
governor as a final broadside to the Jury
declared In sorrowful tones that there waa
only one act In his life which he had al
ways regretted with mortification that
waa the appointment to the bench of hla
opponent at the bar.
" -Gentlemen of the Jury,' remarked the
Judge In queatlon. when It came to his op
portunity to be heard. 'It la with more re

though, that the first battlefield of the
Reformation was In Germany, and that th
Germans had declared for freedom of
conscience In matters of religion long be

found followers In Germany ns readily as
In Scotland, although the German Presby

Rurr Mcintosh's Monthly is ns unique in
methods as it Is in form. It Is the Idei
of tbe gifted publisher to do something
out of tho ordinary each month. He illus
trates It with photographs made in his
own studio, and with photogravures and
half-tones ma.de from these photograph!!.
The value of his photographs is shown by
the fact that he was awarded a price of
1,000 francs for a photograph of Maude
Fealy In a competition arranged by the
Figaro of Paris, in which there were more
than 30,000 photographs from all quarters
of the globe submitted. Mr. Mcintosh thus
refers to his magazine and its Illustrations:
In referring to our Illustrations I feel
that, in a measure, apologies are due those
of our readers who are disappointed be
cause of lack of literature. We have never
promised the latter. Our entire Claim to
possible merit lies In our illustrations. The
market Is Hooded with really excellent nnd
Interesting literary publications, but It Is
becauno we felt that there was room for
one more Illustrated monthly such as we
offer that the venture was made. In time

of the various branches of art. science and
literature, which may be reflected by re

Thomas Gordon Hayes, late mayor of
Baltimore, recently promised to get mar

Mr. Hayes la a bachelor 69, a graduate
of the Virginia Military Institute, and
something of a wit. A friend of his boy
hood, John Stewart of Milwaukee, says
that even ao a lad young Hayes was
witty.
"Once at the military school." said Mr.
Stewart, the other day, "a bachelor was
lecturing on Irish history. His subject was
Cork. 'Any of you ever been In Cork? he
asked.
"Moat of us shook our heads. But Hayea
spoke up and said:
" 'I have never been to Cork, air, but I
have seen drawings of It.'
"And then he gave a loud "plop" like the
sound of opening of a champagne bottle."
A monument to Count John Butler, the
Irish-Hungarian, famous for his charities,

"Another time this same ex-Judge was
pitted against a young lawyer In the trial
of a case," Secretary Shaw continued.
"The ex-judge had a habit of pushing back
the cuff on either wrist, stroking his im
perial, and then resting the forefinger of
hla right hand on the side of his nose. The
young lawyer, who was to make the pre
liminary argument, arose and conspicuously
Imitated every one of these movaments.
At the end of every thought he expressed
he went through the same performance
until he had the judge and jury In laughter.
The ax-Judge sat complacently until his
opportunity arrived for reply. Then he got
up, pushed back each cuff with particular
care, stroked his imperial and rested his
finger beside bis nose. 'Gentlemen of the
Jury,' he remarked, 'that young man acts
Ilka a good lawyer, but be talks like a
blamed fool.' "
