'No,' he replied quickly, with what seemed a shade of asperity la his tone, 'I am not related to Mat thew Arnold. We are of wholly differ ent families.'

"The art of letter writing is sadly neglected nowadays," said the man of literary taste. . "That remark." said his more prac tical friend, "shows that you haven't a son at college who is applying him self to showing you why his allowance ought to be increased." Washington Star.

"All right, sir, I did it." was the reply.' . Nortons Items. J. W. Hewitt, our genial section fore man, is taking a few days rest, S. R. McCrtim filling bis position. II Si audi A. L.
