DAVID AND GOLIATH.
Lord Roberts was chatting with some friends at a reception one night when a very tall man came up and asked to be introduced to the very famous little soldier. * After the introduction had been made, the tall man—who happened to be one of those unpleasant people whose whole idea of humour is to raise a laugh at somebody else's expmse—shaded his eyes with his hand as th )ugh Lord Robeets, being so smill, could only be seen with difficulty. " I have often heard of you," he remarked, moving his head from side to side, as though trying to get a better view, "but I hav e never seen jou." " That is very possible," Lord Roberts replied, promptly, " for I have often seen you, but I have never heard of you."
