Beneath His Dignity.

A well-known artist was once engaged upon a sacred picture. A very handsome old model named Smith, sat for the head of St. Mark. Artist and model became great friends, but when the picture was finished they lost sight of one Another. One day, however, the artist, wandering about the Zoological Gardens, came upon his old model, with a broom In his hand, looking very disconsolate. “Hullo, Smith,’’ said he, “you don’t look very cheery. What are you doing now?” “Well, I ain’t doing much, sir, and that’s a fact. I’m these ’ere gardens a’cleanln hout * the helephants’ stable; a nice occypatlon for one o’ the twelve apostles, ain’t It, sir?”
