MADE PROMISE OF SECRECY
Therefore Caller Could Only Gues*
Who Had Taught Youngster to
Stand on His Head.
"Th« venerable countess of Cardi-
gan, the autbor, you know, of that
wicked book of memoirs, thinks the
modern girl lu too athletic and hoy-
denish." said an English visitor to
Kew York.
"The countess of Cardigan often
tells of a young man who was drink-
ing tea with a beautiful girl when her
little brother slipped Into the room.
'• Mr. Mannerlng.' the boy asked,
'can you stand on your head?'
" No, said the visitor, laughing. 'I
•don't believe I can.'
" 'Well, I can,' said the boy. 'Kook
here.'
"And he stood on his bead very
neatly in the corner.
" Ha, ha!' laughed Mr. Mannerlng.
"And who taught you that?"
"The urchin frowned.
" 'Sister.' he said, 'told me I mult
never tell.'"

Wedding Fee Counterfeit.
A well dressed stranger entered the
ofBf.- of Justice William B. Williams,
Montelalr. N. J., and after shaking
hands astonished the Justice by say-
ing: "I'm here to redeem that coun-
terfeit $10 bill I passed on you. Two
years ago I called on you with my
girl and two witnesses and you mar-
ried us. I handed you a $1'* bill. I
had a counterfeit In my pocket book
that I'd carried for several years. I
never incised It until yesterday. Then
I remembered that I'd accidentally
handed you the bill." The caller pro-
duced a good $10 bill, but the Justice
refused to take It. "Don't let that
worry you, my dear fellow," ha
laughed. "I never knew It was a
counterfeit. No kind of money sticks
to me over night. I'm married, my-
self."
The Valuable Match.
There was a loud splash, and a mo-
ment later a dripping head appeared
above the waves. On the end of the
dock was a stevedore nonchalantly
lighting his pipe
"Help, man'" cried the chap In the
water "Can't you see I am over-
boar 1? I can't swtin."
"How often have you been down?"
asked the stevedore, shielding the
flickering match from the wind.
"Once. I believe, but hurry up, man!
Give me a hand!"
"You wait! You have two more
times yet to go down, and I have only
one match. I'll catch you on the last
trip."—Exchange.

The mourners saw only the coffin,

flowers.
Queen Mother Chose Hymn*.
The hymns sung at the service at

Voice From Heaven."
