BOiling-hOt Water for a Joker.

There is lawyer in San Francisco who
1 for the accommodation of his clients, has a
speaking tube leading from the main en-
france of his building to his office, which
Just up a few flights. For several days
\ st a smart young man named Swartz has
,lused himself by calling for the awyer
the pipe, and then profanely or
ering him to set out on an expedition to
Sartarus. For some time this fun was
taken in good part by the legal expounder
of the new code until the fine humor of the
joke no longer became apparent.
Accordingly, one afternoon, the disciple
of Blackstone provided himself with a
teakettle of water, heated to about 210 de-
grees, Fahrenheit, and waited alongside
the pipe. Pretty soon the old, familiar
sound came up through the pipe, "Say,
cap, 'how's tricks ?"
"Tricks is better now--I guess he'll get
well" responded the lawyer, reaching out
after the teakettle.
"What's been the matter with him 2"
'He got burnt"
"How 2"
"1'll tell you in q minute"
"Oh, you go to Hades."
The lawyer had finished his last sentence
and then let quart of scalding water
dow n the pipe. Swartz had his mouth
over it, concluding his objurgation, and
when the water struck it he was somewhat
surprised. Water was not apt to surprise
him, but hot water was an unexpected
novelty.
The man above poured in water for
about minute and then looked out of the
window. The smart young man was get
ting along the sidewalk at pretty lively
gait, having evidently just got up from a
sitting posture; he was Trying to o
cess. About haitian hour afterward he found
himself able to speak, ana inquired, "Dit

KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP.
There has something gone wrong,
My brave boy, it appears,
For see the proud struggle
To keep back the tears.
That is right. When you cannot
Give trouble the slip,
Then bear it, still keeping
"a stiff upper lip"
Though you cannot escape
Disappointment and care,
The next best thing TODD
Is to learn how 20 boar.
Ifwhen for life's prizes
You're running your trir,
Get mp, start again
"Keep stiff upper lip"
Let your hand and your conscience
Behonest and clean,
scorn to touch or think Of
The thing that is mean;
But hold on to the pure
And the right with firm grip,
And though hard be the task,
keep a stiff upper lip"
Through childhood, through manhood,
Through life to the end,
Struggle bravely and stand
BY your colors, my friend.
Only yield when you must;
"Never give up the ship
But fight on to the last
with stiff upper lip"

An honest old Pennsylvania farmre
had tree on his premises he wanted to
cut down, but being weak in the back, and
having dull axe, he hit upon the follow
ing plan: Knowing the passion among
his neghboIs for coon-hunting he made a
. coon's foot out ola potato, and proceeded to
imprint numerous tracks to and up the tree.
When all was ready, he informed his neigh
bors that the tree must be full of coons,
pointing to the external evidence made
with his potato foot. The bait took, and
in short time half II dozen fellows, with
sharp axes, were chopping at the base of
the tree, each taking their regular turn.
1 The party also brought dogs and shot guns,
and were in ecstacics over the anticipated
haul of fat coon. The tree finally fell but
nary coon was seen to "drap"
