Father Darcy. an Irish wit, was once invited by a man who was known as an Ignorant braggart to visit a new and beautiful house which the person, who had become wealthy suddenly, had bought. With more than his usual pomposity the host dragged the priest over the place and expatiated on the excellence of everything that he own ed. Finally they reached the immense library. where there were thousands of volumes. all splendid in binding covered chairs with a sigh of content- ment and, exclaimed: "But, after all. father, what is all ites here? The other rooms maybe give pleasure to my wife and daughters, but this Is my place--right here among these books, which are my friends And these here on the desk™ --pointing to a score of fine volumes-- "are what 1 may call my most Intimate friends" Father Darcy got up and examined one of them. when a broad grin spreid over his good natured face.
