“Teannot tell how Tray the tale as the truth may be. “tweas told fo me “FAREWELL STORIES.” Possibly Adelina Patti holds the record for the number of her “farewell performance but | her example has been followed to a considerable extent by many other stars of song. In connection with the return of Marcella Sem- ich for another farewell tour, a humorist re- marked, Singular, isn’t it, about the retiring disposition of our public singers?” ONE WAY OF DATING. Dr. Hale and Bishop Huntington, of New York, were fast friends. The lat- ter had been a Unitarian, a1 da sensation. The Episcopalians have saints assigned to the va in the year. When an Episcopalian minister writes a letter on any day for which there is a saint, he always writes the name of the saint at the close of the letter, instead of the date. Bishop Huntington learned all these things quickly, and began to practice them at once. The first time he had occasion to write to his old friend, Dr. Hale, after joining the church, he placed "St. | Michael's Day’ after his signature. A reply from the doctor came, and after his name he had written, in a full, round hand, ** Wash day."” RAILROAD ECONOMY. The story is told in the West that upon one occasion when President Hill, who is a firm believer in ‘taking care of the pennies,’ was looking over a piece of track he found a new railroad spike. Taking it to the boss in charge of that stretch of road, he handed it to him and said, You must be more careful. Noth- ing must be wasted. Pick up all your spikes as you go along. “Why, Mr. Hill,’’ replied the ‘‘boss’’ promptly, ‘I've been payin’ a man a salary for three years to hunt for that ft ALL THE ACCESSORIES. William T. Stead, the editor of the English Re story of an Irishman who applied to one of his friends for a position as coach- man. “You know, Pat, if I engage you I shall expect you to do things by com- bination. For instance, if I tell you to bring the carriage round at a given time, I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, ete.” **Yes, sorr,’ said Pat. “He was duly engaged and gave sat-! isfaction, One day his master came to him, telling him to look sharp and go| for a doctor, as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a long time, and on his master grumbling at him for his delay, he said, ‘Sure, they're all here, sorr.” “All here ‘What do you mean?’ “Didn't you tell me to do things by * said the master. ‘What's that got to do with it?’ said the master. “Well,” said Pat, * tor, the parson, and the undertaker, I've got the doc- Abbott's Bitters on sliced oranges | ish. LAW CARDS. Sir Frederick Thesiger, while en- ed in the conduct of a case, objected regularity of the coun: side, who, in examining his . put leading questions. “Thave a right,”’ answered the coun- sel, “to deal with my witnesses as I please.” “To that I offer no objection,” re- torted Sir Frederick. ‘You may deal as you like, but you sha‘n’t lead.” A TALE OF THE ROAD. At the Players’ Club some actors were laughing over a story just told them by William Collier, of Man from Mexico"? fame, when some one, in a spirit of jest, asked, “Bill, isn't that one of Lackaye’s | stories? | “Not yet,” “but soon.’” quickly answered Collier; | ONE WAY OF GETTING EVEN. Frank Bertram, a well-known actor, tells the following story “T was playing at Leicester during the fair week, and in the market place there were several merry-go-rounds. “I noticed one melancholy individual, who, despite the fact that he was ap- parently suffering greatly, persisted in riding on one of the merry-go-rounds. “Eventually I spoke to him and asked j him if he liked it. “The man replied, it a bit; ‘No, I don’t like then asked him why he persisted in riding, and his reply was, ‘I can't help it. ‘The man who owns this round- about owes me money, and the only way jTcan get even is by taking it out in ‘rides, on the) the blessed thing makes me| ite Rock “‘ The World’s Best Table Water.”’ JUDGE'S CourT NEWS Are you going to laugh with JupcE next week over the Weary Willies Number?
