IRISH WIT.
Irish wit of the genuine kind is
not extinct in Ireland, and it is not
likely to become so, if we may
judge from the sayings of some of
the present generation. An Irish
school inspector was examining a
class in geography. He had pro-
pounded a question regarding
longitude. and received a correct
answer from • the lad undergoing
the ordeal "And now," he said,
"what is latitude?" After a brief
silence a bright youngster, with a
merry twinkle inhis eye, said—
"Please, sir, we have no latitdue
in Ireland Father says the British
Government won't allow us any !"
HOW HE GOT EVEN.
A travelling man who stutters
spent all afternoon in trying to
sell a grouchy business man a bill
of goods, and was not very suc-
cessful.
As the salesman was locking up
his grip the grouch was impolite
enough to observe in the presence
of his clerks :
"You mast find that impediment
in your speech very inconvenient."
"Oh, n•no," replied the salesman.
"Every one has his p -peculiarity.
S -stammering is mine. What's—
yours?"
I'm not aware that I have any,
replied the mercbant.
"D -do you stir y -your coffee with
your r -right hand?" asked the
salesman.
"Why, yes, of course," replied
the merchant.
"W -well, went on the salesman,
that's your p -peculiarity. Most
people use a t•teaspoon."-Success

UP AND DOWN.
A story is told of a Frenchman
who was very anxious to see an
.American business man at his
home. The first morning when he
called at the house the maid re
plied to his query :
"The master is not down yet,"
meaning downstairs.
The following morning he called
again. and Was met with :
"The master is not up yet,"
meaning that he had not yet arisen
from his bed.
The Frenchman, looking at her
with doubtful eye, paused for .a
few seconds.
'•Eet ees very deet -cult,.; but eel'
ze mademoiselle will tell me when
ze master will be neither up nor
down, but in ze middel, zen 1 vil
call at Fat time."
& REASON I'r'F

He was a twentieth century hust-
ling builder, and under his auspices
cottages and houses sprang up
like mushrooms.
"Please, sir," cried one of his
foremen, rushing up to him one
morning, in a state of mental col
lapse, "one of the new houses has
fallen down overnight "
"What !" roared the builder.
"You mean to say that one of my
well built, desirable residences
has come to grief? Hew the dick-
ens has that happened?"

man, "there was little mistake

LADIES' AID MEETING.
The Ladies'.. Aid meeting. of the=
Evangelical •church was well
attended on Tuesday afternoon.
the oceassion being a, special
meeting for mothers and young
ladies. which was much appreciat-
ed. The devotional meeting was
ably taken by Mrs. Edward Mei--
nen who also had charge of the
program. The :drst part of the
program consisted of five charact•
ers of Bible women. The first
paper being given by Mrs. Jacob
Ort on "Mary" who had chosen
the good part. Another paper was
read by Mrs. Callas on "Mirian"
oting the faithful watch she
ept over her brother, Moses, I

f Mary, who was encumbered
ith many Cares, given by Mrs
m. Hoffman. Another paper was

aust on "Dorcas" who was a
oman of charity. These four
owing the good characters,
hale Mrs Wagner gave a paper
ointing out the evil character of
Isabella" reminding us with
what measure we meet it shall be
measured unto us. This was
followed by a pleasing duet given
by Mrs. Adana Faust and Mrs

daughter leaves the. ,natural harbor
of girlhood, and weighs anchor ,to
make her voyage on. the bee&
ocean of womanhood? Each moth-
er should possess the faculty of
economy and bring forth the
reasoning faculties in her daught-

influence through the modern
fashion. Words of encouragement
were given to mothers in times of'
grief and sorrow, while their
families aro facing the perils of

remain and lastly, "If we do
nothing well, let us build within

In five years the Erie Railroad
has not had a single fatal accident.
It transported 125,000,000 passen•
gers and ran its trains 3,750,000,000
miles The record is probably un-
matched on this continent, and it
is gratifying to find railroads now
competing with each other on some
other basis than that of speed.
Reports from the Londcn fur
sales to hand show a very marked
advance in all favored Canadian
furs This important Canadian pro-
duct should - realize a very sub-
stantial return this year, as skunk
raccoon. muskrat, fox, mink, er-
mine, otter, beaver, etc, in all of
which Canada figures largely,
show from to to 70 percent increase
in value. Ladies not fortunate
enough to secure their favorite
furs this season will experience a
decided chill when they meet next
year's prices.
Of the indeterminate sentence
Warden Gilmour, of Toronto
wisely says that it places the
criminal's future to a very large
extent in his own keeping. It
stimulates and calls forth all that
is best in the man, and gives him
an opportunity to redeem himself
and fix the length of his prison
term. The definite sentence holds
out no such hope or opportunity
and renders the dehuquent power-
less to better his condition, be he
ever so willing to do so. When
the element of hope is taken out
of the roan is annihilated.
Several weeks ego a man drove a
handsome automobile off the Det-
roit ferry boat and told ' the cust-
oms officers he was on the way to
Portland, Maine, his home, by way
of the high road to Buffalo. He
made the usual affidavit as to his
American citizenship and residence
and the auto thereupon was
bonded through to Niagara
Falls, N. Y. Instead of going
to the bonding point, however, .he
drove his machine to Toronto, of
which city he is a' prominent resi-
dent. The Toronto officials ascer-
tained how he had evaded passing
of duty on an American machine,
promptly, confiscated the outfit
and the man had to pay $2,200 cash
to settle the matter.
