Clergyman’s Valuable Dog
The minister delivered a sermon of
only ten minutes’ duration, a most
unusual thing for him. Upon the con
clusion of his remarks he added:
“1 regret to inform you, brethren,
that my dog, who appears to be pecu-
liarly fond of paper, this morning ate
that portion of my sermon that I have
not delivered. Let us pray.”
After the service the clergyman was
met at the door by a man who, as a
rule, attended divine service in* an-
other parish. Shaking the good man
by the hand he said:
“Doctor, 1 should like to know
whether that dog of yours has any
pups. If so I want to get one to give
to my minister.”—Exchange.

Bad Day For Losses

A small boy came hurriedly down
the street, and halted breathlessly in
front of a stranger going in the same
direction.
“Have you lost half a crown?’ he
asked with his hand in his pocket.
“Yes, yes, I believe I have!” said the
Stranger feeling in his pockets. “Have
you found one?”
“Oh, no,” said the small boy. “I
want to see how many have been lost
today. Yours makes fifty-four.”—
London Tit-Bits.

Had Something Coming

“You are charged with selling adul-
terated milk,” said the judge.
“Your Honor, I plead not guilty.”
“But the testimony shows that it is
25 per cent water.”
“Then it must be high-grade milk,”
returned the plaintiff. “If your Honor
will look up the word ‘milk’ in your
dictionary you will find that it con-
tains from 80 to 90 per cent water. 1
should have sold it for cream.”’—Suc-

received by post two stalls for a the-

“Perhaps you will guess from whom

them was another note: “Perhaps you

The Right Time

The new chaplain very much wanted
to amuse as well as instruct his men
and, accordingly, on one occasion, ar-
ranged for an illustrated lecture on
Bible scenes and incidents.
One seaman who possessed a phono-
graph was detailed to discourse appro-
priate music between pictures. The
first of these represented Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden. The sailor
cudgled his brains and ran through
his list, but he could find no music
exactly appropriate to the picture.
“Pleas play up.” whispered the
chaplain.
Then an inspiration came to the sea-
man and, to the consternation of the
chaplain and the delight of the audi-
ence, the phonograph ground out,

me.”—Harper's Magazine.
Most Intense
Rainfall on Record

Two and one-half inches of rainfall

A reproduction of the rain gauge
register showing the downpour—a
record made in 1911 and still recog-
nized by the Weather Bureau, United
States Department of Agriculture, as
the most intense rainfall of which it
has data—appears in the current
number of the Monthly Weather Re-
view, published by the Weather DBu-
