Room For Improvement.
A certain estimable old gentleman is
at all times worth listening to. though
occasionally his grammar. Is scarcely
perfect. He was dining on one occa
sion with the local squire, when, much
to the disgust of his worthy host, a
trifling error on the old gentleman's
part was pounced upon and loudly re
peated by the son and heir of the
house. There was a painful silence,
broken at length by the host.
"My son." he remarked quietly to the
young fellow, "there are times. 1 ad
mit, when our old friend's speech Is a
little peculiar. At such times you
might be of mutual assistance to each
other."
"In what way. sir?" asked the son.
"Well." was the severe rejoinder,
"you might give Mr. X. a lesson or
two In grammar. In return for which
I have no doubt lie would assist you
to patch up the boles In your man
ners." London Tit-Hits.

was produced, lu his usual genial
way the novelist pressed this on his
guests and, patting his neighbor. Lord
Broughton. on the back, remarked.
"Now. my dear old boy. yon must try.
some of this."
A chill fell on the company when
the noble lord retorted. "I am not your
dear boy. 1 am not old, and your
wine."
The Only Thing Left.
Jeremiah Jinks Is rich and stingy.
An acquaintance of his met Jinks' son
the other day. "Your father seems to
hare lost a good deal of money lately.
The last time 1 saw him be was com
plaining and saying be must econo
mize." "Economize! Did he say where be
was going to begin?"
"Yes; on his table, he said."
"Then be must be going to take
away the tablecloth." was the filial
declaration. Exchange.
