A military chaplain complained to the adjutant of a regiment that no men attended his sermon service on a Sunday, although he had spoken to them repeatedly. The adjutant prom ised to see what he could do; so, sending for the sergeant-major, he in quired how it was that no men at tended, and requested him to do something. On the following Sunday about twenty men attended the serv ice, much to the chaplain’s satisfac tion, and he mentioned it to the ad jutant the next day. The adjutant was surprised, though pleased, and he sent for the sergeant-major and asked him how it was the men had turned so good all of a sudden. Replied the sergeant-major: “Well, sir, I told off four men per troop to attend, and I marked them off on fatigeu duty.”—Ex. “But do you know, pa,” said the 1 farmer’s daughter when he spoke to her about the addresses of his neigh bor’s son, “you know, pa, ma wants me to marry a man of culture.” “So do I, my dear, so do I; and there is no better culture than agri culture.” He Heard Nothing. On a business trip to the city, a farmer decided to take home to his wife a Christmas present of a shirt waist. Going into a store and being directed to the waist department, he asked the lady clerk to show him some. “What bust?” asked she. The farmer looked around quickly and answered, “I don’t know; I didn’t hear anything.”—Ladies’ Home Jour nal.
