| GEN. SHAFTER’S LESSON.

It Was on This Ocension That He Learned to Decide For Himself, Here is a story that the Cleveland

Leader proffers about General Shafter.

It centers about his salient trait of be-

ing pugnacious, just as all current and

well invented anecdotes of ‘‘Fighting

Bob’’ Evans revolve around some in-

candescent bit of prefanity. But the

story runs thus, as the general is made to tell it:

‘*Once, when I was a boy at school. -J wasn’t more than 10 or 11 years old at the time—our teacher called up the class in mental arithmetic and began putting questions, beginning with ths pupil at the head of the row and going, down toward tke foot, until some one could give the correct answer. I stooc gpomewhere near the middle, and next below me was a boy who was three years older and considerably ahead of me in the various studies that we bad.

‘**How much are 18 and 9 and 8?’ the teacher asked.

‘*While one-after another of the boy? and girls abead of me guessed and failed to get it right I figured out what [I thought the answer ought to be, The question had almost got to me when J heard the big boy just below me whis- pering, apparently to himself, but loud enough for me to hear, ‘29, 29, 29.’

‘‘Vinally the pupil above me failed to answer correctly, and then it was my turn.

‘* *Well, Willie,’ sald the teacher, ‘let’s see if you know the answer. Come, now, be prompt.’

**t cocked my head up proudly on one side, cast a triumphant look at those who had ‘fallen down’ on the problem and said, so that everybody in the schoolroom could hear me:

‘* «Twenty-nine !’

‘* ‘Next. How many are 18 and 9

SETTLED THE BORE.

An Abrupt Termination to 2 Restau-: rant Conversation,

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, when on his first visit to this country several years ago, was taking a chop and a giass of ale in a Washington restaurant one afterncon, and a man around town who is somewhat noted for his forward- ness, not to say his freshness, was din. ing in the same room, and he recognized the English parliamentarian. He walked over to Cham berlain’s table, and, quite uninvited, took the opposite seat, With- in the space of five minutes he was tell- ing Chamberlain what a third rate out- fit he considered England to be. The man’s talk, needless to say, Was in very ravk taste. Chamberlain adjusted his monocle firmly and looked at the ob- trusive chap amusedly.

‘Now, we'll take England in the matter of great men,”’ said Chamber- lain’s uninvited table mate. ‘Where does England cut in in the matter of great men nowadays, anyhow? England bas got Gladstone, of course, but he was born about 110 years ago, and he’s a back number. I'l] just ask you, Mr. Chamberlain, a fair question, What ceally great man, what noted character, bas England produced, say, within the past 50 years? Answer me that, sir!’’

‘‘With pleasure,’’ sajd Chamberlain, permitting his monocle to fall into his lap and taking his hat and cane from the rack. ‘‘Great man, me. Noted char- acter, Jack the Ripper. I bid you good afternenn,”*

Can a Dyspeptic be a Christian ? This was the question our friend the | lawyer acked the doctor, during @ conver~ sation in a street car a few daye ago.

The doctor's answer was characteristic.

Said he: “In these enlightened days, there are very few dyspeptics who do not break the chains of their slavery.

“Since £Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets were introduced to the public, the number of dyspeptics in Canada has rapidly de creé.sed,

“If it is achristian virtue tohelp our- selves, and that it is, everyone now admits then those dyspeptics who use Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets thereby do «a Christian act.”
