By Mark Stuyvesant Some of the Ways Oliver Cromwell Proved That He Appreciated Humor. While Oliver Cromwell may not commonly be thought a wit--indeed, many of us thing of him as the stern- est and most solemn of men-- there were momients in his life when he was not only playful, but witty in his own way. While Cromwell was winning Eng- land by force of arms ,and afterward when he ruled the land with iron hand, he wag fond of playing practi- cal jokes. , It is recorded of him that the sternness with which he usually faced the world sometimes melted "If Any Trooper of Mine Had Missed Such a Shot!" into playfulness as careless as a child's. For instance, he thought it a huge joke to steal away the din- ner prepared for his officers at the very minute they were ready to sit down to eat it. Of course, he gave it back to them, but how he laughed at their looks of dismay! In John Pinkerton's "Treasury of Wit," published in 1786, an incident is recounted of Cromwell's presence of mind and wit in the face of per- sonal danger. The happening occur- red while Cromwell was carrying on the war in Scotland. He was riding' at the head of a body of horse. = A scotch soldier :| planted on a high wall took the op- portunity to fire at Cromwell, and missed him. Without slackening the pace or drawing rein; Comwell turn- ed round and said: "Fellow, if any trooper of mine had missed such a mark he should | have had a hundred lashes!" Then, laughing, Cromwell turned and urged his soldiers to greater | speed. He didn't even order his as- sallant seized, but let him make his escape. . A more intimiate view of the prac- tical-joking, witty playlulness of Cromwell is found in an incident that occurred in his own household, and which touched his daughter closely. A Mr. Jerry White was appointed chaplain to the Protector. White was a young man, and possessed those re- quisites 'which generally please the fair sex. Very soon he won-the affec- tion of Cromwell's daughter. nothing could happen anywhere in the house or in the commonwealth which was not seen by one of Crom- well's many spies, the news seon reached Cromwell's ears. Cromwell ordered the informer to watch the two closely, promising: he should be as well rewarded as White should be punished. It wag net long before the informer hastened to Cromwell with news that the chap- lain was then with the lady. Hurry- ing to her apartment, Cromwell dis- covered the unfortunate White upon his knees kissing:the lady's hand. Cromwell roared his displeasure. "What is the meaning of this pos- ture before my daughter.' With what he thought was great presence of mind the chaplain re- plied: "May it please your highness, I have for a long time courted that ee ge But as ¢ Cut_the sleeves out of a piece 20 mches wide and the length of your arm.

Hem the raw edges and your night-dress is made. They are airy and warm at the same time and yet look well, when one gets up in the moming." - ~~GEORGETTR REURET. The captain and the manager of a track team were discussing one of the new men. "He'd be all right" said the man- , "if he only had a little more backbone." "He's got backbone enough," agreed the captain, "if he'd ouly bring it to the front." A Bad Bargain. Some time ago death evidently traded his pale horse for an automo- bile. young woman there, your daughter's maid, and have not yet won her con- sent. I was therefore humbly pray- inher ladyship to intercede for me." Cromwelk-turned to the maid and smiled: '"What is the meaning of this? Mr. White is my friend, and I expect you to treat him as such." The maid, perhaps not unwilling, and surely anxious to save her mis- tress from parental wrath, replied: "If Mr. White #Mitends that honor, I should not oppose him." "Call Goodwin," Cromwell shouted to the guard at the door. Then he turned to the hapless Mr. White, and eyed him with eyes that twinkled. "This business shall be done present- ly, before I go out of the room." And so the chaplain and the maid 'were married. To show the bride that he was pleased with her for having helped him carry out the scheme born in the flash of the in- stant, Cromwell gave her five hup- dred pounds sterling. It is said the bride and groom livea together fifty years. "But," the chronicler observes. 'Jerry seemed not to relish the joke even after the lapse of half a century." "Where will you. reside ?" asked the reporter of the young bridal cou- pla, "At the Old Manse," replied the bride. And this is the way the item appeared in the local paper a month later: r. Hardup and his bride, formerly Miss Millions, have returned from their honeymoon, They will live at the old man's.

Why He Was Nervous, Referring to his early experiences of railway management, Sir Eric Geddes recently told an amusing Story concerning an action for dama- ges that was brought against a cer- tain company by the owner of a horse and trap which had been run down by a train at a level crossing. The most important witness for the defendant company (said Sir Eric) was the signalman in charge of the crossing. . He stuck tightly to his story, in spite of a sévere cross-examination. He persisted that he had waved his lantern frantically, "but-in vain; to the driver of the trap. "You 'did excellently, Tom," the superintendent told him afterwardes. "I was a bit afraid at first you might waver." "Not me!" said the old man proud- "But I felt a bit nervous lest the lawyer bloke should ask me if. the lantern was lighted." Long Distance. Here is a story with a moral for telephone users. Hon. James Duff was in the habit of shouting into the receiver, and one day Sir James Whitney, who was in the office near- by, asked what all the racket was about. "It is Mr. Duff, sir," replied a': clerk. '"'He is talking with his wife up in Simcoe Connty." : "He 1s, eh?" said Sir James. "Well, why on earth doesn't he tele- phone her, instead of yelling across the Province like that?"--Boston Transcript. Not Yet Filled. The inhabitants of a certain vil- lage in the"south were given a post- office. Their pride in the acquisition was at rat unbounded. Then com- plaints began to come in that letters were not being properly sent off. The department then ordered an inspect- or to go down afid investigate these complaints. The postmaster was al- 80 the grocer. '"What becomes of the letters poster here?" demanded the inspector of him. "The people say that the are not sent off." 'Of course they ain't!" was the start- ling response es the postmaster-groc- er pointed to a large and neatly empty mail sack hanging in a corn- er. "I ain't sent it off because it ain't anywheres near full yet!" All He Could Book. Captain (speaking to raw re- cruit, trying to drill): What was your occupation before entering the army?
