an unexpected manner. In a compart-

animated conversation. Oppesite sat
a student, who envied the -priest the
causerie which he was enjoying, writes

As the oventng came on the girl fell
asleep and the priest nodded his head

which no self-respecting praciteal jok-
er could afford to let slip. Bending ton
ward, the student kissed the sleeping
damsel and sprang beek into his seal,

thinking that it was her neighbor, the

Jumped up aild gave him a sounding

policeman acconmenying the irain was

while the student offered to appenr as

But al the last moment a young Jew-
esS who had. been sitting in a darle cor-
ner uncibserved by anybody stepped
-forward, exonerated the poor priest
ieforn the terrible accusation, ancl then
it was the student's turn 'to feet mis-
