Tho clerk told him there wa nn order

"Well, Jonesio went back to bed, but
he didn't get to deep again. I paid the

Jonesio up ou the telephone. My ollleo

boy answered the ring and asked Jouenie
whnt ho wanted. 'I want to know who

here,' said tho boy, and be said be
heard Jonesio swear as he rang off.
"Well, I gave him that telephone
racket three times before he caught on.
Bo was pretty hot, I gue, when he
reached his office, but I had a reception
for him there. I hnd telephoned to a
lot of .my life insurance, friends that
Jonesio wanted to take out a policy be
fore Iraving tiie city in the afternoon
and advised them to tend a muu around

he spent tho day explaining thut bo
'didn't want any lifo insurance or any

let it out that I had recommended Jones
as a good rink, and he rang rue up at
once. 'I've got eunuch,' ho nay. 'I'm
willing to cull it all sqaure if you are.
You've got the bet of it, I admit,' he
equalled, so I told him I wns willing to
call it off if ho would remember not to
hammer on my door hereafter when he
was going by at li in the morning. He
replied thut he wouldn't rap ut uiy door
again if tho hotel was ufire, und so we
culled it off,

Th. Harvard Spirit.
Where so many men are working on
independent lines, with so much to keep
them upurt and so little, comparative
ly, to draw them together, one may rea
sonably wonder whether such a thing
as a common Harvard spirit any longer
exists. It dees exist, so men suy who
abide bv the. nniversitv and who ouaht
to know. They see it and feel it. It
does not penetrate all individuals iu
the snuie degree, bnt it is reckoned with
and observed as a definite force. The
men beat qualified to judge of it insist
thut it Wttkoa for veraoity, for a high
seuae of honor und for good manners.
Indifference Iihs sometimes been
cburged uguiust Harvurd, und perhaps
not without, some baids, but not iudif
fereace to truth. That is her quest in
oienoe and iu philosophy und the bonis
of her law iu mutters of conduct. Veri
tas was not written on the Hurvard
: shield for nothing. Tha Harvard spirit
may need to be awakened and nourish
ed and kept alive, bnt it is worth knop
' tag alive, for truth is its most perva

Trick Two Wny.
Thrro young men were seuted ut n
table in a Market street restaurant. ( luo
of tin in drew fiem hi pocket ami h.id
upon tho till lo i silver dollar. Ijetdiie if
bo placed a vimting card, with i rouinl
hole uliout a half inch iu liiunn ler
pierced through it center. he:
"Hee tho fat, white dollar? Koo tho lit
tle lioio in thn card? Hot yon the ( ii.-i.rs
lean push tlie big dollar thrciifji tlio
little hole." "I'll no .von," aid one of
hi coiiipimions, "but, remember, you
nre to push that dollar through Jlii.t
hole without enlarging tlie hole."
"That' what," responded tlie proposer
of tho feat.
Laying tho dollar flat (in thn table,
ho held tho card on edge just behind it.
Then he produced a pencil which he
shoved through the holo in tho curd un
til it touched the edgn of the coin.
"Pushii.g tho dollar through tlie hole,
see?" "Hero couie JiiueHPy," said tho
loser. "Lend mo your dollar und your
funny card, nnd I'll get revenge. Oh, I
won't do n thing to Jouuscy. "
A leuglhy, cadaverous young fellow,
with u varuons expression, drifted into
tho vacant place at tho table. "Joucs
ey," said tho loser of the cigars,
"hero's n big dollar und here's a little
round hole in a curd. Hi t yon I cnu put
the dollar through tho holo just us it in
loser to pay all four of oar cheeks.'
"Done," said Jouesey. Tho other pro
ceeded to repent the action of tho first
trickster. "Hold on," drawled Joncsey
languidly; "your contract is to 'put' the
dollar through tho hole. I didn't bet
yon could 'push' it through the perfora
tion Von see, dour boy, I'vo been up
againtt tho game hitherto." Philadel

Bometimefl it in inconvenient not to
bo ublo to uho quotation mark in speech
as tiny are used iu print. A (Jcmiuu
soldier of the Firnt regiment of tho
Royul PruHKian guards found this fuct
out not long ago.
Tho Emperor William is the honorary
captain of tho firnt company of this, reg
iment und takes CFijecial prida in it. Ho
wns lately engaged iu putting its sol
diers through uu examination to tost
their military knowledge und experi
ence. "What would yon do," ho said to one
sqldier, "if, when on duty us a sentinel,
yon saw a crowd gather near you?"
"I should politely request the peoplo
to disperse, your majesty."
"Gocii! Hut if one of tho men in the
rrowd r.pproacbed yon and sought to
Worry you?"
"I should say to him, 'Don't worry
me, ' your majesty. "
The whole of this remark seemed so
obviouHly addressed to one person
either to the supposed man iu the crowd
or to the emperor that the emperor
burst into a laugh and said, "Very
well, my man. I'll disperse and will
not worry you any more." Youth's

In taking dow n tho steeple of the old
Methodist church in Watertown, which
the Voting Men' Catholic association i
remodeling for it use, tho historic old
weathercock ou top of fhesteeplo had to
be removed. Ho i 'i feet high, with
a pewter body nnd copper tail, nnd is
said to have been made by Paul Itevero
when about 20 years old. It i said that
tho weathercock wa originally placed,
in 1T55, on tho old church building
that wa demolished in 1K87. Thero i
some dispute about hi ownership, the
Unitarian claiinini: that ho wns simply
loaned to tho Methi diets when the lat

Methodist claim that they bought him
from tho town. Ho will probably bo
