Young Sheridan's Ready Wit Saved Him a Birching. Richard Brinsley Sheridan early evinced a genius fur getting something for nothing and «-eemg the door of the refectory had inadvertently t>eeu left unlocked. |>eeped iu aud saw a huge basket of grapes freshly gathered from

the orchard.

Stealthily closiug the door aud approaching the grapes, he thus address ed them: "1 publish the bauus of marriage between Richard Brinsley Sheridan and these grapes. Is there any one to forbid the banns?" And. having no reply to his query, he proceeded to till his breadbasket from the other basket with great gusto. But retribution was to follow, for on the class being reassembled the master called upon Richard Brinsley Sheridan to stand forth aud joined with his name the , ominous name of Walker, who was the dunce of the school and selected from his weight and size to mount the culprit upon his shoulders iu order that the master might get a firm surface upon which to use the birch with ef-

fect.

Sheridan lieing duly mounted and appropriately denuded of superfluous raiment, the master thus addressed him: “1 publish the banns of marriage between Richard Brinsley Sheridan and this birch. Is there any Just cause or Impediment why these two parties should not be Joined in holy matrimony T’ “Holdl” yelled Sheridan. “Well?" said the master. To which Sheridan said. “Why, sir. the parties are not agreedl” This lieing not only witty, hut apt. as lieing a valid objection In point of law. Sheridan was requested to retire and restore himself to his former habiliments amid the uncontrollable laughter of all concerned, including the head master.—Exchange.

Where Was It—In Mashonaland. South Arabia or India? One of the most interesting and important questions concerning Biblical sites perpetually invites research and persistently evades solution. "Where is the land of Ophir?” Dr. Karl Peters at a public meeting In Berlin declared emphatically that this famous Biblical region Is located between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He told his German audience how lie has discovered many shafts of ancient gold mines, 500 temples, fortifications and other ruins of Phoenician origin. Dr Peters affirms that coins unearthed in Mashonaland l>elong undoubtedly to the time of King Solomon. Ills opinion Is that no other part of Africa could have exported the ivory, silver and precious stones which are recorded in the Bible as coming from Ophir. Against this theory, founded as it undoubtedly is on very plausible evidence. Bible students are still likely to maintain, on the testimony of Gene sis x. 29. that Ophir was a section of South Arabia. Here down to the time of Ezekiel the Phoenicians still landed to procure gold and gems with which those famous sailors and merchants of the ancient world traded in many countries distant from their Syrian shores. Many erudite writers have attempted to identify Sofala. on the east edast of Africa, with Ophir. while yet others have located it in India. One of the most learned essays written on the subject is from the pen of Professor Homnnel, who argued that the ancient land of gold was Arabia Felix.—Homiletic Review. A Man to Be Envied. “Do you know." remarked a visitor to a Broadway hostelry. "I'm always inclined to envy the clerk In a hotel like this. He is always well groomed and smiling, has a wider acquaintance among the wealthy or well to do than I can ever hope to have and is always so aggressively at peace with the world and himself; also he wears, more of ten than not. a diamond scarfpln or ring which is certainly beyond me. It's n pretty comfortable berth.” Several hours later the hotel clerk reached for his coat and hat. As he left the office he turned to a comrade: “Say. Ned. can you let me have $10 till the first? Rent due at home tomorrow, and I'm shy. Doctor’s bills hit me pretty hard this month, and 1 don't want to lie awake tonight if I can help It."—New Y'ork Globe.

Her Poor Memory. A woman who lelonged to an ancient but penniless family married a rich plebeian, but she never forgot the misalliance nor allowed any one else to do so. One day. attended by a servant, she went Into a store and gave an order. “And where shall I send It. madam?” said the shopkeeper. “Jean." said the woman, turning to her servant, “tell the man your master’s name. I never can rememlter It.”

T ▼ Copyrighted. ISUT.by M. M. Cuuniugham. ] [ As the pony picked its way up the wild, rock bordered canyon Ivy Norris took in great breaths of the ozone of the Arizona foothills. “This is living;” she cried, throwing out her anus. “The folks back home would not know me. These tliree months spent In this, wonderful climate have made me strong and young again. And this weather! Back In New Hampshire they are having snow, while out here it is golden sunshine all day long. My heart Is full of the day —Thanksgiving! When I write back home that I spent my Thanksgiving out in the foothills all alone the folks won’t believe me. They’ll simply say I’m learning western ways fast—to manufacture some big ones to boom the country.” The last of August Ivy Norris, pale, thin and thirty, had arrived from the east to teach the Lone Mesa school. The cowboys on Mr. Tower’s ranch, where she boarded and lodged, treated the coming of the cultivated little woman as a great joke. Her short skirts, the boots and the handsome little revolver and cartridge belt furnished them material for comment for weeks. Even Ward® Hughes, the foreman, was amused at her first attempts to mount and ride Pilot, the gentlest pony on the ranch, but he equally enjoyed the pluck with which she persisted In learning to ride and the use of the little revolver that looked so comically dangerous la her small white hand. tfn this Thanksgiving morning the handsome foreman had reined in his cow pony behind a thicket of inesquite trees and was watching faithful old Pilot carefully bear bis fair rider up the trail of Little Springs canyon. All at once he became aware of the fact that a few months had wrought a great transformation iu the schoolteacher of Lone Mesa. The thiu form had rounded out into graceful curves, the pale face had become plump and rosy, and her awkwardness in the saddle had given place to an easy manner that could no longer l>e ascribed to a novice. “She's like a girl of twenty.” he soliloquized. “By Jove, she's the neat-

hb watched rvy kobris come oh up th* lit'GO ED TRAIL. est edition of her species that ever struck these foothills. I wonder if she knows where she Is going. She's a good ten miles from the ranch house now and still going on. Well, she's a pretty Interesting stray, and I'm golug to see that she doesn't get entirely lost." With this thought Warde Hughes entered another trail, then cautiously made a detour, coming back to the canyon just above Little Springs. Still concealed back of some manzanlta bushes, he watched Ivy Norris come on up^the rugged trail. She was singing a stanza of an old school song that he remembered, and the notes floated up to him ou the warm November air sweet and clear as au angel's song. Suddenly she ceased, and she glanced quickly up the slope. Then, catching up her revolver, she sent a shot whizzing off into the chaparral. A tawny form dropped out ‘of sight down the ravine. “Ah,” exclaimed the foreman admiringly. “she made Mr. Coyote hit the dirt as well as a soldier could have done It” Guiding the pony to the springs. Ivy dismounted While Pilot drank in long, satisfying quaffs from one of the little springs the young woman looked nl>out her. noting the steep granite walls that surrounded her. the deep azure of the sky and the golden clow of the sunshine enveloping everything like a lo\ ng mother keeping a winter * chill at bay. Then she saw Warde Hughes approaching from au opposite direction. “May I join you. Miss Norris?" he asked. “Certainly. Mr. Hughes.” she answered. “It Is noon, isn't It?” giving au odd little squint at the sun as If she were already enough of a plalnswoinan to estimate the time by its elevation. "It 1- abi it 12s»" mid l! igbea. with the old timer's accuracy. “Then it Is time for my lunch and

I'm as hungry as that wretched coyote I shot at. It Is Thanksgiving day, Mr. Hughes. 1 have beef sandwiches, olives, cheese, crackers aud some fig wafers in my saddlebags. With New England hospitality I ask you to help me eat them." "While It Is not the custom of us cattlemeu to take a lunch at noon,” he returned, looking into the bright eyes of the little woman before him, "I am glad to break the custom on this occasion by accepting your invitation.” Under a live oak they spread the paper napkins which Ivy had brought and'&rrauged the luuch upon them. Hughes soon caught the happy spirit of his companion, and, throwing his mask of conscious restraint aside, he talked and laughed with her with the pleasure of a boy. “Tbe spring must furnish us tea.” she said, handing Hughes her pretty silver folding cup. He quickly filled it from the spring near by. Then he passed the cup to her. “I did not think of having company,” she said apologetically, touching the rim daintily with her pretty lips. "I wish I had another.” “I'm glad you haven’t,” protested Hughes heartily. “I like this one best” taking the cup from her hands aud drinking. For a minute Ivy made no reply. Then she looked at the man sitting opposite her as If In doubt of his meauIng. The next instant she smiled frankly and said: “Well, I think I do too.” The half serious simplicity of her speech amused Hughes, aud, throwing back his head, he laughed iu real enjoyment. “I'm sure we'll get ou all right,” be said, still laughing. Hughes declared there never was such a lunch. The greatest Thanksgiving feast In the land was nothing compared with this. The cold, pure water which they sipped in such good comradeship from the one cup he was sure outrivaled the nectar of all the gods. All too soon it was finished, and they sat hack under the live oak silent, but happy. Suddenly Ivy realized it was midafteruoou aud she had twelve miles to ride back to the ranch. Tomorrow there would be school and the old routine of duties. Today held sunshine, laughter, joy; the next would be filled with the daily grind and hard tasks. Watching her from under the wide rim of his hat. Warde Hughes saw the weary expression In-gin to settle over Ivy Norris’ face, and he understood. Left an orphan after finishing school, his lonellne s had driven him west. Here temperate habits and sterling principles had won him success. Now a woman, loving the freedom of his hills ns he loved It. had entered his life. Suddenly he lieheld a vision—a vision of liberty for both. Immediately he felt an Intuition that the loneliness of both was at an end. The new life of sunshine, the sunshine of a wonderful love, was glowing for them. He yearned to tell her, to lift the shadows from the patient face, hut the moment of realization was too blissful for speech. “Come,” he said at last, springing up to meet the new life and claim It for them. Gently he took her hand and lifted her to her feet Then, looking into her beautiful eyes, he said eagerly, "Little woman, I want you to let me make every ilay of your life a Thanksgiving like today." A soft flush stole into her face, but she did not leave the strong arms which held her.

Proper Treatment For Borns. In case of burns death may be due. first, to asphyxia; second, to shock, and. third, to septicaemia. The medical man seldom gets to the case in time to treat the first condition, the second is essentially a general condition, w hile the whole success In preventing the third depends upon the immediate local treatment. It Is therefore the last conditiou which must be considered here. Among the public it is a generally accepted idea that the thing to do in the case of a burn is to dust flour over it or to cover it with oil, and. indeed, even in some comparatively late text books on surgery a mixture known as "Carron oil” i* advocated. The use of such applications cannot be too strongly deprecated, and, indeed, if the lay mind could be taught that the llest thing to put on a burn l>efore the doctor is called Is a hot compress, which should contain some bcraclc acid if there Is any in the house, it Is probable that the majority of deaths due to septicaemia after burns would be prevented. For the whole aim and object of the local treatment is to prevent sepsis. Flour and olive oil may he soothing and may allay the pain, but there Is no antiseptic property in them; rather they are excellent culture media for bacteria.—London Hospital.
