SPURGEON'S MISTAKE. I
A Cheerful Correction When the
Preacher Learned the Truth.
One day tbe mayor of Cambridge,
who bad tried to curb Mr. Spurgeon's
tendencies to sensationalism. Inquired
of him if be bad really told bis congre
gation tbat if a thief got into heaven
he would begin picking tbe angels'
pockets.
"Yes. sir." tbe young preacher re
plied. "I told them tbat if It were
possible for an ungodly man to go to
heaven without baring bis - nature
changed be would be none tbe better
for being there, and then, by way of
illustration. I said that were a tbief to
get tn among tbe glorified he would
remain a tbief sill! and be would go
around the place picking tbe angels'
pockets.
"But. ray dear young friend." asked
the mayor seriously, "don't you know
that the argels haven't any pockets?"
"No. sir." replied young Spurgeou
with equal gravity, "l did not know
that, but 1 am glad to be assured of
the fact front a gentleman who does
know I Will take care to put It all
right the first opportunity I get."
The next Monday morning Spurgeon
walked Into the mayor's place of busi
ness and sai l ; blm cheerfully, "1 set
that matter right yesterday, sir."
"What matter .'" be inquired.
"Why. about the angels' pockets."
"What did you say?"
"Oh. sir. 1 just told the people 1 was
sorry to say that 1 had made n mis
take the last time I preached to tbem.
but that I had met a gentleman, the
mayor of Cambridge, wbo had assured
me that the angels bad no pockets, so
I must correct what I had said, as I
did uot want anybody to go a way with
a false notion about heaven. I would
therefore say that If a thief got among
tbe angels without having bis nature
changed he would try to steal the
feathers out of the.r wings!"

In a Scottish village a small boy
once raised a hubbub in tbe parish
church. His mother bad bought a
sheep's bead and left it to cook, tell
ing blm to watch it while she went to
church.
The minister bad reached bis "0Uh
ly" when the boy thrust his bead In
at the door and whispered. "Mither!"
Tbe good woman recognized her son
Instantly and made signs to bim to go
away.
"Mither:" again came tbe whisper.
The mother shook her finger at the
boy and ber head too.
But the boy was in earnest. Ratting
his voice, he shouted. "Mither, ye
needna wink an' blink at mc. but ye'd
better come awa' hame at once, for
tbe sheep's head's buttin" a' the
dumplina oot o' the kail pat!"

An Irish policeman .who was also
something Of sportsman had been
posted on a mad tiear Dublin to catch
the scorching motorist. Presently one
came along at tweuty miles an hour,
and the policeman saw it pass without
a aign. Ne.ct came a large motor
traveling at forty miles an hour, and
the eyes of the guardian of the public
brightened. And then one passed at
tbe rate of a mile a minute. "Begor

"that's the best of the lot."'

When Lafayette visited Virginia be
was entertained with other eminent
guests by President Monroe at Oak
Hill. Leesburg. too. the historic town
nine miles from Monroe' s'country seat,
accorded him honors or that occasion,
and at a dinner at that town John
Qulncy Adams delivered a famous
toast to the surviving patriots of the
Revolution, who. he said, were like the
sibylline leaves tbe fewer they be
came the more precious they were.
On the rturu to Oak Hill another
of Monroe's guests said to Mr. Adams:
"Excuse the impertinence, but would
you not tell me what inspired the
beautiful sentiment of your toast to
day ?"
"Why." replied Mr. Adams. "It was
suggested this morning by the picture
of the sibyl that hangs in the hall of
the Oak Hill mansion."
"How Strang!" remarked the less
brilliant guest. "I have looked at that
picture many times during the past
years, and that thought never occurred
to me."

A number of years ago. when the
then Chicago Itccord was placing its
foreign correspondents. George Ade
was sent abroad by Victor F. Lawson
for the purpose of selecting the best
men be could find. Ade did all right
until be got into Servia. There he
found all the newspaper men in jail
for political offenses. He was in a
quandary, so he cabled to Mr. Lawson:
"Newspaper men all In Jail. Press
censor very strict."
Lawson promptly cabled back:
"Make press censor correspondent."
And Ade did It.
He Got the Crowd.
In a crowded section of an eastern
city there were three little clothing
stores in a row. Tbe proprietors of
these shops were bitter enemies and
CALLED CP SOME ONE OVER THE TELE
PHONE. business rivals, and each taxed his
brain to the bursting point to outwit
the others in attracting customers.
Tbe proprietor of tbe store in the
middle one day found himself momen
tarily beaten ou getting downtown one
morning, wheu he discovered that the
owner of the store on bis right had
placarded his shop with sensational
announcements of a "greut fire sale.'
while the man on his left had covered
his store w ith huge banners proclaim
ing a "receiver's sale." His face drop
Id. Then his features foIstmI In a
gradually expanding smile. He rushed
to tne hack or his store and called up
some one over the telephone.
One hour later the crowd tbat had
been attracted tu the scene by the "fire
sale" and "receivers sale" nroclama
tious flocked into the store between
the two. The nronriptor h.irl emised

entrance a sheet on which were paint
