THOUGHT SHE HAD PRACTISED
Frenchman's Suspicions Really Some
thing of a Compliment to the
Men of America.
Claude Grahame White, the English
aviator, praised, at a dinner, in New
York, the good fellowship of Ameri
cans. "The American woman is regarded
abroad as an angel," he said. "The
man is admittedly a good fellow, but
an angel he is far from being.
"You've heard of the Frenchman,
perhaps, whose sweetheart spent the
summer In America? After her return
the poor Frenchman seemed quite
blue.
" 'What's the matter with you?' a
friend asked.
" 'I am worried, the other muttered.
'about my fiancee. You see, since her
return from America she kisses so
much better than she used to.'"

"Your little boy must be very intelr

school teacher whose five-year-old son
was forming Greek words with build

"Intelligent !" exclaimed the - proud
parent. "He is phenomenally gifted.
As an example of his early erudition,
what do you suppose was the first
words he ever spoke?" - ;
"'Papa' and 'mamma'?"
"Stuff and nonsense!" ejaculated
the father In a tone of disgust. "Why,
the day he was 12 months old he sud

trying to build up a worn-out nervous

wasted nerve cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food. j

Father ,0'Leary's: Facetious Rejoinder
to John Philpot Curran an Ex
ample, of Real Wit.
One day the famous John Philpot
Curran, who was, also very partial w
the said corned mutton, did me r tne
honor to meet him. To enjoy the so
ciety of such men was an intellectual
treat. They were great friends and
seeded to have a mutual respect t for
each other's talent, - and," as it may
easily be imagined, O'Leary ' versus
Curran was no bad match.
One day after dinner Curran said to
him: "Reverend father, i wish you
were St. Peter." : ' !
"And why, counselor, would you wish
that I were St. Peter?" asked
O'Leary. r .'
"Because, reverend father, in that
case," said Curran, "you would have
the keys to heaven and you could let
me in." ; . V
"By my honor and conscience, coun
selor," replied the divine, "it would be
better for you that1! had the keys of
the other place, then I could let you
out."
Curran enjoyed the joke, which he
admitted had a good deal of Justice in
it. From Kelly's Remenlscences.
On Authority of Tacher. j
A quick-witted boy, asking food at
a farmhouse too recently ravaged by
other hungry fishing truants, was told
that he was big enough to wait until
he got home. j
"Of course, If you have children
with you f hesitated the kindly wom
an of the house, land was immediately
informed that, there were six children
in the party. ' - !
"No, I don't tell a fib, neither," was
the indignant protest later drawn
forth by the condemnation of one who
had shared the good bread and butter
thus secured. "Fib1 nothin We're
children six times over. We're chil
dren of our father and mother, chil
dren of God, children of our country.
Children of the church an' children of
grace. Teacher said so last Thursday,

Strong Preaching. . - J
The minister's eight-year-old daugh
ter was returning with her parents
from church, where the district super
intendent had that morning occupied
the pulpit. I '
j "Oh, father," asked the little girl
her face alive with enthusiasm. "Don't
you think Brother! C. Is a very strong
preacher? I do." ! j
Gratified by this evidence of un
usual intelligence on the part of his
Offspring, the minister eagerly in
quired into her reasons for her state
ment. .,

lessly, "didn't you see how the dust;
