An Unfair Question The employer of a Polish maid who has learned to speak English has told the Philadelphia Public Ledger of her ex- periences with the telephone, After its use was explained to her she was eager to answer every call. One day a ring came and she jumped to the instrument. “Hello!” came from the receiver. “Hello!” answered the girl, flushed with pride at being able to give the proper answer. “Who is this?” continued the voice. “1 don't know!” exclaimed the maid. “TI can’t see you."—Youth’s Companion. “ Are you an art connoisseur?” “ Yes,” replied Mr. Cumrox ; “ although should never speak of myself as such.” “Why not?” “Because I'm not absolutely sure I know how to pronounce the word.” —Washington Star.

At night brilliant lights illuminate the whole gaudy scheme. The first steamer to deco- rate herself like this was signalled by a British cruiser. What ship is that?” The reply came: “ United States mail steamer So-and-S Said the cruiser: “ Thanks. Thought you were a Christmas tree out of season.” —London Opinion. A Dead Shot The valor and candid simplicity of our Indian Babu are proverbial. A story goes of one, anent the German East cam- paign, who was about the most laconic, competent, deadly earnest station-master and marksman combined that ever lived. A regiment of men like him would end the war, for this is the wire he sent: “One hundred Germans attacking sta- tion. Send immediately one rifle and one hundred rounds ammunition.” —Tit-Bits, Lire is for sale by all newsdealers in Great Britain and may be obtained from book The forevgn trade supplied from sellers in all the principal cities in the world, Livt’s London Office, Rolls House, Breams Buildings, London, E.
