Tim Grand Duke of Saxe -Weimar has a reputation in Germany for "bulls" worthy of au Irishman. On one occasion his kind heart took pity on a murderer sentenced for life, so he remitted • the "last three years" of the sentence. Once while visiting a public school he noticed two boys of striking sim- ilarity in appearance. “Why, • what a remarkable like- ness !" he exclaimed. "Those lads must be twins, are they not ?" "Yes, your •royal highness," re- plied the principal, and he beckoned Ute two frightened youngsters to "Ah, my son," said the prince, placing his hand on the head of one of them, "what is your name ?" "Heinrich." - "And how old are you ?" "And you ?" he said, turning to the other boy, the week after that Harvey- Oh, dear! And be bad hinted about a pearl necklace for her birthday!

She WS winking so fast to keep the tears back that sbe did not see the nu- merous warning symptoms of the great lower east side, the hundreds of chil- dren, abundant riches of tbe poor. Be- coming mistily conscious of a gurgling squall stopped half way down a 'baby throat, she looked back and saw a sprawling infant In her wake. The White, Arrow had gone complete- ly over the child, "straddling" it neat- ly, so she picked him up more frighten- ed than hurt. After comforting him with some of Ikey's confectionery sup- plies she rode on, leaving him with round eyes still staring tearfully and rounder mouth peacefully stuffed with raisins. Arrived at last in Hester street, she checked brake and lever in front of the tenement where 'key abode. She was at once swanned upon like a queen bee by hordes of children to whom the dai- ly visit of the white, horseless buggy was a great event. It is sad to relate that with all her vaunted capability as an autorist Mis- tress Anice forgot a small but very bit - portant matter. She went up stairs loaded with good things to gladden the heart of Ikey and his numerous rel- atives and forgot to take from its socket the little running phi g of the White Arrow. With that tiny key safe in her chatelaine bag the capacity for mischief In the combination of small boy and autonaobile was rednced to a minimum.

Now he was fifty-five, and be looked 'seventy, and heart and lungs bad given oat He knew that he was near the end and still kept his philosophy. He %WAS as honest a man as ever lived, and it had often seemed strange that be was al- most the only man in that village of eletbodists who had no religion. He lay dying and was content except for the fact that he could no longer enjoy tobacco. One day I sat by his bed when the doctor came. He was a shy man and a very earnest Christian, and he was fond of Peter. I knew that he had something he was desperately anx- ious to say, and I was on the point of taking my leave when he spoke, drop- ping, as one did with Peter, into tbe old caressing dialect: "Where do 'ee think you'm goin' to, Peter, when you do die?" Peter looked up at him With the kindliest of smiles.

The word was thus applicable, I thought, to the second class in a college because they were 'more wise' than their fel- lows in their own estimation. But it ,seems that the word has a purer gene- alogy and a meaning even less flatter- ing to the class of collegians to whom it is applied. It was first used at the University of Cambridge, England, and In its infancy appeared in the form 'soph-more rt was coraposed of the word 'soph,' a contraction for 4sophis- ter,' and a Greek word meaning fool- ish (moros).

An Inspiration. .A. pretty girl boarded a crowded street car in Washington, and a pom- pous old gentleman arose and gave her a seat. After' some time a number of pas- sengers got out, and the old gentleman sank into the nearest corner with a weary sigh. "I wouldn't get up again," he mur- mured, "for an angel." And then as he caught the eyes of the girl fixed up- on him reproachfully, he added quick- ly, "I mean, madam, for another an- gel!" Realism Most Attractive.
