Gave Him a Christian Name.
Even the polyglot Swiss interpreter
at the general postottiee admits that
there are languages which would
stump him. How would he have solv
ed the problem once presented at the
Hampstead Greeu postofflee and re
corded In Baines’ “On the Track of
the Mail Coach?” Two ladles wanted
to send a money order to a foreign
tradesman in Oxford street “What
Christian name?” inquired the clerk
“He is a Turk and has none.” “We
must have a Christian name.” the
clerk insisted. “But you can’t. His
bill merely says ’Kotzemolien.’ ” “Oh.
very well.” decided the clerk. “That
will do Cut his name in two and
make the order payable to ‘Kotze Mo
lten.’ ” Solomon could not have done
better.—London Chronicle.
The Parson’s Soft Job.
“There is a prevalent idea among
the criminal classes that the clergy
have nothing whatever to do"
The authority for this statement is
the archdeacon of London, who has
three large prisons in his archdeacon
ry. An old woman once said to a jail
chaplain: “1 wish you could find a
job for my old man He is not up to
much and cannot do anything, but he
wants a soft Job like yours .’"-London
Globe. _
Willing to Take a Tip.
•‘Look here,’* said the sophomore’s
father, “how do you expect to do any
studying if you’re going to be out tear
ing around every night until 11 to 12
o’clock ?•
“Darned If 1 know, dad. I wisn
you’d put your mind to work on the
matter and let me hear from you if
you succeed in working anything out.”
