A man named his best hen " Macduff" because he wanted her to " lay on." A good story is told of a reporter who, fearful that he might not get the address which was to be delivered at the funeral of a prominent citizen, knelt beside the preacher while he was praying, abstracted the manuscript from the latter's rear pocket, and forthwith carried it off. The clergyman, thinking his paper had been lost, delivered himself extemporaneously, but the next morning discovered his error, his written address being printed in full in the newspaper.
