He Thought They were charter Members of His Gang

The Irishman who was walking about, seeing the sights of a strange city, grew tired so walked into a big church, and sat down in the cool, shady pew, and fell asleep. At six o'clock the care-taker of the Church awakened him, and told him politely that he would have to get out.

"'Why?" asked the Irishman.

"Because I am going to lock the Church now, it being six o'clock," replied the care-taker.

"You are rsrong about that," said the Irishman positively. "A Catholic Cathedral is never locked."

"But this isn't a Catholic Cathedral," said the care-taker. "This is a Presbyterian Church."

"A Presbyterian Church?" asked the Irishman in utter bewilderment.

"Yesr" said the care-taker.

The Irishman looked at the colored windows, with the figures plainly showing on the glass.

"fsn't that Saint Peter?" he asked.

"It is," was the reply.

"And isn't that St. John?" asked the Irishman, pointing to another window.

"It is," said the other.

"And isn't that St. Luke?" asked the Irishman, pointing to a third window.

"Yes," said the other.

The Irishman scratched his head in pure and unadulterated misery, as he said-

"Well when the Hell did THEY join the Presbyterian Church?"

Dick Hiscox Gives Harry White Some Advice

A few months ago, Harry White, of the well known hardwood-company White Brothers of San Francisco, presided as Chairman at a meeting of Hoo Hoo Club No. 9. At the meeting_Harry pulled an unusual stunt by calling on several of the members of the Club to give a short biographical sketch of their careers. Dick Hisiox acted as Chairman of the Club meeting on May 14, and, as Dick is noted for not over-looking very much, he called on Harry to give a sketch of his own career. At the conclusion of lfarry's interesting talk, Dick stated that he was surprised to hea_r that such a prominent man in the lumber industry should have lost so many positions during his life, and suggested that in the future when looking for a position that it w_ould be a good policy for Harry no1 to reve'al these tacts. tlarry-says the whole thing was a put up job between Dick Hiscox and Frank Har?is to puli ofi this stunt at the meeting. Harry is pretty good Fimself at pulling a come-back, so don't be surprised to read where Hairy hai had Dick on the carpet at an early date.
