Aunt (severely): “As I glanced into the parlor 'last evening I saw you with a young man’s arms round you.” Niece (calmly): “Yes, aunty; I was waiting for you to pass the door and see us. Young men are very slippery nowadays, and on© can’t have too many witnesses.” A CLERGYMAN’S SAMPLES. A minister who had been doing missionary work .in India recently returned to London for a visit. He was a guest at a well-known hotel, where everything pleased' him except the absence of tlie very torrid sauces. and spices to which he had become accustomed in the Far East. Fortunately he had brought with him a supply of his favorite condiments, and by arranging with the head waiter there were placed on his table. One day another guest saw the appetizing bottle on his neighbor’s table and asked the waiter to give him some of “that sauce.” ■“l'm sorrv,' sir.” said the waiter, “but it is the private .property of this gentleman.” The minister, however, overheard the other’s request and told the waiter to .pass the bottl©. The stranger , poured some of the mixture on his meat and took a liberal mouthful. . After a moment he turned with tears in his eyes to the minister. “You’re a minister of the Gosperp” “Yes, sir.” v “And you preach the doctrine of everlasting fire?” “Yes,” .admitted the minister. “Well, you’re, the first minister I ever met who carried samples.”
