DEAN BRADLEY'S THOUGHTFULNESS.
A writer in the "Outfitter" tells a charming anecdote of the late Dean Bradley. "I was in a large retail establishment," he says, "behind the counter. The dean came in and selected some very fine lambs' wool underclothing In putting them on one side the writer came in contact with a penholder protruding from an inkpot, which had been carelessly, and against all rules, left on the counter. The contend:? were suddenly transferred to the lambs , wool, which eagerly drank in the exhilirating beverage—probably the first drink it had had since being a lamb. The salesman (myself) apologised, and set about getting others to replace them, but the kind-hearted dean would not hear ol it, and insisted on taking them as they were at full price in case the accident should get anyone into trouble. This lesson of the practical side of the dean's Christianity sank deeply into my mind," adds the writer, "and did more good than tho. simple act itself involved. It was a brief sermon in action."
