A Cool Swindler.

A few days ago hook-nosed bad-eyed
yc ing man called at house on Chestnut
street and purchased two suits of old
clothes from lady whose husband was
absent. Next day another man called at
the house, and, handing the lady a ten
dollar bill, said: "My partner, maam,
found this bill in the pocket of the west
he bought of ye." The lady was greatly
pleased, and was about to give the man q
half dollar for his honesty, when he, wip-
ing his eyes, commenced story OF want
and misery, which was concluded by ask
ing the loan of two dollars for few days.
The lady, feeling that he was as honest
man, gave him the amount and he left. In
the evening she showed her husband the
ten-dollar bill she had saved by the hon
esty of the old-clothes dealer, when he as
tonished the good woman by declaring
the bill counterfeit. The fraud was
then plain, and the lady's disgust COM
plete.
The conclusion of the story is very re-
markable. The next day the honest fell
low returned, and called for the lady. She
recognized him at once, and charged him
with passing the counterfeit bill. He
frankly admitted the act and began to
cry, saying that he was suffering for
money at the time; he had come to pay
the two dollars, and wanted to destroy the
bad bill that had caused him to commit a
crime. He pleaded for pardon, and
pulled out a nice two-dollar bill in pay
ment of the original loan. The lady re-
fused to take it, and said she believed it
was another counterfeit The honest
man, with tears in his eyes, then drew out
some currency and nickels, and begged
her to take two dollars out of the amount.
She then relented, and counted out the
amount due her, granted full pardon to
the repentant man, and gave him the
counterfeit ten-dollar bill. He went off,
showering blessings on her head The
husband came home, and hearing the con-
tinuation of the story from his wife, said:
"I'll bet he's beat you again let's see the
scrip" 1t was produced, and every piece
was a counterfeit. The lady wants to see
the honest chap once more. But she
won't. He's got his ten-dollar bill, and
he's probably attempting his mysterious
swindle on other unsuspecting people,

Catching Squirrels on q FisIl.HOOk.

IHAvE caught with a hook and line
nearly all kinds of fish, besides turtles,
frogs, ducks and other fowl; but yesterday,
while fishing for trout in the Wellingley
brook, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, l dis
covered a new field of sport While 1
had just taken out splendid trout from
under a rock, and was about batting my
hook, / saw good-sized squirrel jump
upon the rock. My pole was of good
length, and improved the opportunity
by placing the hook near his head. At
first he brushed it away with his paw;
but after while, either out of spite or
for love of the SPORT made jump and
took the hook in his mouth. AT that
moment "drew upon him." and soon
saw him dangling twenty feet in the air.
Such dancing and climbing up the line
and then down the pole, was lesson to
common fish. / finally laid the pole on
ground, and then came series Of gyra-
tions and various antics. Not being ac-
quainted with that kind of fish, and fear
ing that an attempt to disengage the hook
would be bad for the fingers, shoul-
dered my fish-pole and marched to the
blacksmith shop near by, where, with the
aid of two assistants and pair of black
smiths tongs, the hook was detached and
the fellow set at liberty. Not three min
utes after, however, he was capering
along the fence as if nothing had hap
pened.-C0r Boston Journal.

The Shah of Persia has a live fowl
killed in his bedroom every morning, be-
cause he is not allowed to sleep in any
room where animal blood has not been
shed. He wanted to have sheep thus
slain in his apartments while at Berlin, as

operation be performed in the kitchen.
The magnificent apartments provided for
him at Berlin will have to be completely
