ROUGH ON MS WORSHIP.
The Mayor of Snapton had consented personally to examine the scholars of the Snapton Preparatory School in general knowledge, and proceeded thither with all the pomp ami circumstance pertaining to his office. Having attained to his present position from the humble calling of a pork butcher, he was somewhat proud of his importance. “What,” was the first question he asked the cla-.s, “is the meaning of the letters ‘J.P.’ you sec so often placed after the name of a mayor?” He beamed importantly for several minutes, while the class looked perplexed. Then one small boy raised his hand. “Ah!” said the Mayor, “I’m glad someone knows. Well, young man, and what is the answer?” “Judge of pork!” answered the youth. It was the innocent look .upon his face alone that saved his bacon. He could scarcely have been rasher.
