A Convincing Argument.
"Permit me, Jud^e," said the gratl
fled young ut t < rney utter the < oclslon
in favor of his c lient had been handed
down, "to thank you most sincerely. I
assure you 1 was highly gratified to
note the closf attention you gave me
while I was making my argument."
"Yes, I was deeply interested in
your talk. You convinced me that it
Is possible to be at ouce a fool and In
the right."— Chicago Record Herald.
THE MORAL OF FORT ROYAL.
Something We Can Learn from the
Teachings of History.
It Is possiblo to crush and destroy
that which was meant in the mind of
God to be a power for good in the
church. And it is possible on the
other hand, for holy and noble souls
to make mistakes and to be overmuch
occupied In attention to one aspect of
truth, to forget that the whole is
greater than the part, and that the
whole body must be "fitly framed and
'cnlt together through that which
'very joint supplleth," If the body is
to be built up In love. There Is noth-
ing which we more neglect than the
teachings of history; there is nothing
which will at once so cheer and so
warm us as those teachings. In a
book, the value of which is out of all
proportion to its size, an eminent pro-
lessor of ecclesiastical history has
told us how to use these teachinga
I he diverging tendencies of spiritual
thought alike "spring from the teach
ing of our Lord himself. They are not
antagonistic, but complimentary, they
are both necessary to the church.'
*\ lien shall we learn this lesson, when
will tho.se who keep the Christian
i reed whole and undeflled recogulze
ilint there always must be dlvergen
lies? The Puritan, the Catholic, or,
as It Is so well put In Dr. Bigg's book,
the mystic and the disciplinarian, will
always be found side by Side In the
1 atholic church. The story of Port
Royal Is the story of these divergen-
ces in thought—Jesuit and Port Roy-
alist represented two tendencies. The
seventeenth century was not ripe for
toleration. Port Royal was crushed,
and crushed b 'cause it stood for
whai was unworldly as against the
world!* world.—From "The Story of
Port Royal," by Ethel Romanes.
Table Implements That Had to Be
Made to Order.
Six hundred and forty forks, silver
plate.: and each a foot long, formed a
pan of the baggage of E. Tunnell
Doty, who left Philadelphia re-
cently for Point Barrow. Alaska, says
the Philadelphia Record. Each of the
forks weighed a pound and a half,
and the whole accordingly weighed
nearly half a ton. The forks were In I
packages of 10 each, 64 packages In |
all, and the whole divided into two;
bales of 32 packages each. Mr. Doey j
takes them to Point Barrow, the most
northerly point in American .Alaska,!
as presents to the chief Eskimo tribes ■
there and their members, in pursu- j
ance of a promise made two years
ago. Then the forks of a visiting
American party enormously Impressed
the natives, who watched their use
with deep interest Some criticism
having been offered to the small size
of the fork, which, perhaps, suffered
by comparison with a walrus harpoon, I
Mr. Doey had these made to order. He
left for Seattle on his way northward
and expects to return with a large
supply of walrus ivory, timing his re- i
turn trip with the "open water" of!
1908.
Evidently a Belle.
' Pauline turns up her nose at offers
of marriage." "Why so?" "The only
things she considers are abject pleas."
Smart Doctor.
"My husband is troubled with a
•buzzing noise In his ears. What would
you advise?" "I would advise him to
go to the seashore for a month or
two." "But he can't get away." "Then
you can go."
Puzzle—What Did He Find?
She had just returned from Europe,
and had been met at the pier by a
New York friend who was bearing her
off to the seashore. En route to the
ferry she was regaled with the news—
social, personal, and what not—and
among other things the dinner given
at Newport to Consul, the chimpanzee.
"H'm," she meditated; "well, you
know we are told that water will find
its level." "I wonder," retorted her
escort, "what the chimpanzee found."
The Limit of Athletics.
"Of course," began the athletic girl,
"I <;an accomplish many acrobatic
feats by now. I can climb a greased
pole, dangle from the curtain rod,
handle the dumb bells and turn a
double somersault without landing
on my head every time, but what I am
trying to do now is to enter a surface
car without staggering, walk along
to a vacant seat and take it gracefully
before the inevitable and gigantic jerk
of the car starting can land me in the
lap of a fellow passenger."
La Belle Sauvage.
We may educate and civilize woman
as we will, but the Instinct of sav-
agery will cling to her still. If lovely
woman can adorn herself with any-
thing in the nature of scalps, or set
herself a-jingling with beads and
tinkling gew-gaws, she never loses her
opportunity. She is now decking her-
self forth with jeweled Imitations of
creeping things innumerable.—London
