D., for thirty-five years pastor of the First Church of Denvers, Mass., retir ing In 1861, was widely known as a preacher and theologian. He was, however, conservative to the point of bigotry, and eccentric withal. One of his eccentricities was his determined opposition to Instrumental music in church, whch he seemed to regard as little short of sacrilege. Therefore, It may readily be understood that when the parish Introduced a first and second violin and bass as accompani ment to the singing of the choir, the doctor’s ire was aroused, and he took no pains to conceal it. On the Bunday after the introduc tion of the carnal instruments, when the preacher rose to announce the first hymn, he Old It In this wise: “The choir will now please to fiddle and sing to the glory of Ood the 100th Paalm.’’ Misunderstood T “I don’t like the Honorable Strut tan Bough," remarked the lady presi dent of the Helpful Band of Upllfters. “Why,” murmurs the lady secretary of the Earnest Association of Sympa thizers, “he always Impressed me as a man who Is perfectly willing to lend his voice and Influence to the cause of reform.” “Yes, but I asked him to do what he eould to suppress the drink evil that la causing the expenditure of so much money every year.” “And he refused?” “No. He said he would be glad to 4o so—and then he introduced a bill prohibiting Ice cream soda fountains.” A Harder Name Than Stone. Two men were Introduced to each other. One, failing to catch the other's name, asked him to repeat It. “My name is rather hard,” said No. 2. "Well, said No. 1, “I don't believe It Is any harder than mine.” “I’d be willing to bet $lO it Is,” No t replied. To this No. 1 assented without hesi tation, and the bet was made. Then No. 2 said: “My name is Stone, F. W Stone.” "Im sorry, but you lose.” said the other. “My name Is Harder, T. B ■order.” Domestic Bliss. “Have you and your wife stopped boarding at hotels?" “Yea. We are living with a cool; Alfonso and the Anarchist. Still a stream of anecdotes from Paris about King Alfonso. He is said to have a prejudice against asses, and when his automobile ran over a Span ish ass near San Sebastian the other day he compensated the owner liber ally, and then remarked, “I wish there were no asses in my dominions.” At San Sebastian he went into a tobac conist's shop to buy cigarettes. There was another customer In the shop, who seemed anxious to escape ob servation. The king looked at him and thought his features familiar, then remembered a portrait of one of the Spanish anarchists arrested after the bomb explosion In Paris. “I see,” said the affable monarch, with a laugh, “you are one of the anarchists arrested by mistake. You had noth ing to do with the affair, of course. It was some other fellow. Well, well, the police will make their little blun ders sometimes!”—London Chronicle. Answering Abernethy. Although one of the main character istics of the famous Dr. Abernethy was the readiness with which he could administer a sharp and witty retert when occasion arose, he was once con siderably nonplussed by the remark of a medical student. “What would you do,” the doctor asked the student at an examination, “if a man was placed in your hands with a broken leg?” “Set it, sir,” was the reply. “Good, very good; you are a witty young man; and doubtless you can tell me what muscles of the body I would move If I were to kick you. as you deserve, for your Impertinence?” “You would put Into motion,” re plied the student, not In the least abashed, “the flexors and extensors of my right arm, for I would forthwith knock you down.” Princess Hatzfeldt Popular.
