Bought Himself.

An amusing affair happened late
ly between a coal dealer and pur'
chaser. The latter was very anx'
ious to see that tho former did not
cheat him, so he the purchaser
inspected the weighing of the coaI
himself and felt perfectly satisfied
that he had got his full allowance
without any desire on the part o.
the coal dealer to shave How
ever while the coal was weighing
the driver of the team could mo-
help laughing, aware at The tim'
that the purchaser was particular
about his full weight Of coal. The
purchaser noticing the laughing
Of the driver asked him whom be
received the coal, what it was al
about; so the driver told him
"Why," said he, "wben your Goa
was weighing you were standing
on the scales and were weighed
with it," "Is it possible? Why
weigh nearly two hundred
pounds!" "Well sir" said th'
driver, "you are sold" "Yes,
was the reply, ''and I bought my
self, too."

Deatll Of Mr.. BurlIngame.

l .. s1--- 49,
z Tin obble nanonnces the death.
of Anson Burlingame, atSt. Pc
tersburg, on the morning Of the
23d, Of congestion Of the lungs
This closes an evcntful career.
Mr. BurliDgamc was born in
New Berlin. CneDango county,
New York, November ii, 1922
His youth was spent far beyond
the confines of civilization, on the
Western frontier, with surveying
and exploring parties. He com,
menced studies at the Branch Uni
versity, of Michigan, finishing at
Harvard, where he took degree,
in 1916. He studied law and
practiced in Boston. In 1852 be
was elected to the State Senate,
and was member of the Massa-
chusetts Constitutional Convention
OF 1853. he was elected TO the Thir.
ty fourth COngsres, and reelected
TO the Thirty-6fth and Thirty sixth.
He served on the committee OF
Foreign Affairs for two terms, and
distinguished himself by fine ora
torical powers, and by an unex-
pecIed alacrity in accepting a chal
lenge from fire eater-which. as
usual in such cases, brought about
an accommodation. without blood>
shed In 1861 Mr. BurliDgame
was appointed by Lincoln Minister
to Austria, and subsequently tc
China, where a new and magnifi
cent career awaited him. An i'm.
pcrial decree Of November q, 1867
announced that Mr.. Burlingame
then serving as American Minis
ter, at Pekin, had been selected as
special ambassador to the treaty
powers, and had accepted the of.
fee. Under this office Mr.. Bur.
lingame was clothed with extraor.
dinary powers. and furnished AT
outfit and corresponding appoint
ments on u scale of magnifcenct
rarely equaled. His first visit wal
made 10 his native country, where
he was highly successful in his
negotiations. He went from here
successfully to London, Paris and
st. Petersburg, and was every.
where received with distinguished
consideration-even with greaI
cordiality, everywhere except il
Great Britain. 1t was while il
st. Petersburg he is cut off in biz
career-certainly one of the most
remarkable in contemporary his

My Wifc's Bridal Tour.

she had better wait six months or

but she said she'd rather 60 alone
when u woman was travelling u

and told her to go off and have

ey where my wife's happiness is
concerned Ny first wife never
could complain of not going any
where's; for I'm dreadful fierce to
go off on good time myself, and

not only sold that ticket for my
wife, but gave her half tho mon,

only mention it to show how much
1 thought Of my wile's happiness.
| don't think any man ought to
get married till he can consider his
wite's happiness only second to his
own. John Wise, q neighbor Of
mine, did thusly; and when | got
married, l concluded I'd do like
Wise.
But the plan didn't work in the
case of my wife, No, l should

"Not much you ain't," said she.
"Mrs, Skinner" replied, "you
are fearfully demoralized. You
need re.organizing at once. You
are cranky" And l brandished
my new sixty two cent umbrella
wildly around her.
She took the umbrella away from
me, and locked me up in the clothes

l am quick to draw an inference,
and the inference l drew hero was,
that l was not success Us reor.

After this, | changed my tactics

So, when my wife was bound tc

cordially assented, go, Matilda,

you would like to stay a little

She bid me stop talking, and &C
