A SMART ANSWER. Larry O'Sheil, in many respects a good soldier, had a very limited idea of tlie virtue of tidiness. Appearing one morning on parade with his boots in a fearful state, the sergeant's eagle eye soon spotted him. "Private O'Sheil, fall out!" he roared. "Thwat d'ye mane by comin' her wid your boots in a mes loike tliot?" "Arrah, now sargint, be easy!" retorted the imperturbable Larry "Sliure, ye river saw a good soldier shown' a clane pair o' heels!" ON FRIENDLY TERMS. The story is told of a dowager whose wealth and education were of exceedingly recent acquisition. According to her accounts, the trip round the world that she had completed had been socially most successful. Some of her friends were questioning her about the places of interest that she had. visited. "Did you see the Dardanelles?" asked one. "And the Himalayas?" inquired another. "Why, certainly,' replied the dowager, "X dined with them bottfin Paris."
