Among the storied nf that former governor of Texas ramlllarly known aa Sam Houston is more than on* amusing tale. There was a financial agent of the penitentiary who had warmly oppos?*d the election of Governor Houston, but was particularly anxious to retain lils own pleasantly lucrative position. Con? sequently the new governor was soon in receipt of a petition In which the man's years of faithful service and apodal qualifications for the place were aet forth In glowing terms hy himself. The governor sent for him and said gravely, "lt appears from this petition that you have been In the penitentiary eight yeans." "I have," was the reply. "And during tbat time you have per? formed faithfully every duty that has come In your way to the best of your ability V "I have," answered the agent, his courage swiftly rising. "Then, slr." said the governor, with the air of one conferring a priceless favor, "I pardon you out" Put Out of Commission. Abernethy was ?apposed to influence people by a brusqueness amounting to absolute rudeness. It is related that one day a very voluble lady took her daughter, who was ill, to see him. "Which of you two wants to consult me?" said Abernethy. "My daughter," replied the elder -wo? man. Abernethy then put a question to the girl. Before she had a chance to reply her mother began a long story. Aber? nethy told her io be quiet and repeat? ed his question to the girl. A ?CCOnd tlme the woman began a story, and a second time he told her to be quiet. Then she Interrupted him a third time. Put your tongue out," lie said to the mother. "'But there's nothing the matter with me," she exclaimed. "Never mimi, put your tongue out," he commanded. Thoroughly overawed, the woman olteyeil. "Now, keep lt out," said Abernethy, aud he proceeded to examine the girl.? Grand Magazine. A Queer Complication. In Sydney, a town of 50U.0OO lnhab itants, one ten get notulug to eat on a Sunday. Certain restaurants supply food surreptitiously, but the whole time the guests are in dauger of being arrested. Once au Italian was In sm b a restaurant on Sunday when suddenly the police entered. The italian was promptly pushed by Uie proprietor Into a room where a waitress happened to tie standing in negligee. Even thia room the police Invaded, but the wait? ress saved tbe situation by declaring that tbe young mau was her fiance. The young mau. by the way, had been married some time. He thought that be had deceived the policeman; but, as a matter of fact, ho had got out of tbe frying pan into the fire. One fine day the waitress called him before the courts und claimed $2,000 for breach of promise. The Italian had to pay. Au*' then came tbe worst of all. His wife sued for a divorce and shortly afts> married another man. What ls Best for Indigestion t Mr. A.

"lt we did not cough In church, the human race would not exist." Aud the professor, twiddling a piece of chalk ta his hand, regarded the sophomores with a quizslcal smile. "What I mean." he continued, "la that the cause of coughing ls the cause of our survival. That cause ls mim? icry. Mimicry ls a better life preserver than fleetness or strength. For bf mimicry we manage not to attract a'. tention, and lu prehistoric times tln-y who attracted atteution were bunted down by the trllie am! roasted for din? ner or bunted down by the Saber to nb tiger and taken raw "Sin." tho*e dark days mindi ry hus beeu instinctive with us. Mlinl<*r\ ll what causes us to follow tbe fashions. It causes us, when in England, to say 'cawn't' and 'lawf.' If your friend yawns, you ya^u that's mimicry. If be laughs, you laugh iii lin lr ry agalu. If he snuffles, you snuffle mimicry. And if he coughs lu church, straight? way you and all the rest of the con? gregation cough, the reason being the same one which saved our forefathers from extermination." New Vork Press. Famous Floggers. Among English school masters whose ?ames have come down to posterity With tbe dubious reputation of great floggers Dr. Busby of Westminster school ls the generally acknowledged chief. Of him It ls recorded tbat. one of bis bead boys having Insulted a young French viscount who came to the school to demand satisfaction, bs flog? ged the viscount first for the blood? thirsty Intentions and next hia friend wbo was the bearer of his challenge. Dr. Valpy, too, who edited an edition of the classics, was a potent wielder of the rod. Archdeacon Groom, who was a pupil of his. tells a story In illustra? tion of his prowess. Oue of the boys had beeu flogged by the redoubtable dominie, and the lad's father came to complain. "Slr," said Valpy to him, "I flogged your son because he richly deserved lt. If he again deserves lt, I ahall flog hun again, and," rising, "If you come here, slr, interfering with my duty 1 shall flog you." Tbe parent fled. A Famous Architect's Trick. When Slr Christopher Wren waa building the town hall of Windsor, a fidgety member of the corporation, so the story goes, insisted that the roof required further support aud desired the architect to add more pillars. In vain did Slr Christopher assure bim that the dauger was imaginary. He knew better. The alarm spread, and the great architect was worried Into adding tbe desired columns. Years passed, and In later times, when architect and patrons were dead, cleaning operations in the roof re? vealed tbe fact that the supposed addi? tional supports did not touch tbe roof by two inches, though this was not per? ceptible to tbe gazers below. By this ingenious expedient did Wren pacify his critics, while vindicating his own architectural skill to future gener a tiona. I'm Telling You. Pat Murphy, who was lu lodgings, was greatly annoyed by the laudlad> helping herself to his provisions She began by taking a piece of his butter, and wben Pat came home she said: "Pat, I'm taking a little of your but? ter, but I'm uot like other landladies I'm telling you." Next day lt waa an egg, and so on. Every day there was something taken and put off with tbe remark, "I'm not like other landladies I'm telling you " Of course there was never any re ductlou In Pat's bill. One Saturday his bill came to a larger amount than usual. Pat looked at it, buodl>ed up a few things In his handkerchief, walked to the door and aaid: "Landlady, i'm sloping.
