THAT pBoAD-BRISTsIgD HAT.

Hebulon Carpenter is one Of those single
children of nature whose guilelessnass Is
always involving others in trouble. lie is
all nature, all articeSucss. Fifteen months
ago he came from his home in Saratoga
county. lie had no money in his pockets :;
yet with confident face he entered Herman
Wronkow's store and selected u large, very
large stock of fancy goods Mr. Wronkow
knew that he was dealing with mere child,
one who did not understand the strict rules
of commerce, and 80 when Carpenter said
that he had money in his savings bank at
home, and would send it down very soon,
Mr.. Wronkow packed up the goods and gave
them to him.
Then Carpenter, without considering how
his act might be constructed by the malicious
police, crossed into jersey and sold his new
stock by auction. lie went thence to Canada
Having been brought 70 this city under arrest
he was taken before Justice Murray on tho
criminal process, and Deputy Nash waited
outside 10 arrest him by order of Judge Me
Adam, on Il civil action in case Justice Murray
should not hold him. Carpenter was dis
charged, and then with cliild-like playfulneSs,
he exchanged his peculiar hroad-5rmmed
hat for cap Of friend, and with hi party
walked from the court room before the eagle
eye of Deputy Nash. The eye was ready
for him. 1t fastened itself on the peculiar,
broad-hrimmcj hat. The hat nodded good
by, and the eye followed it closely. The eye
never winkcd. AT the proper time the owner
OF that eagle eye swooped down upon the
wearer of the peculiar hat. y week has
passed, and the owner Of the eagle eye has
not reported his capture. lie has even held
aloof from his usual haurts. and his associ-
ates have not known where to find him 1t
is supposed that Deputy Sheriff Nash Is
looking for the owner instead of the weareI
OF the peculiar, broad-brimmed hat

successful antidote. The person had taken
between forty and fifty grains Of opium, and
was fast dying. He could no longer swallow.

ror TO nr cAreur TWICE.

A good story is told of a German, by ths
name of Schmidt, who had taken the pre-
caution 10 insure the life of his wife for
$4,000. and the stable for $500, believing
the former might die and the latter might
be burned, and he could not get along with
out some compensation for his loss. Both
policies had been taken from the same agent,
In u few months after the stable had been in
sured, it was destroyed by fire. Schmidt
quietly notified the agent, and limited 10 him
that he would expect the $3.50 at the earliest
possible moment.
The agent at once sent a carpenter to as
certain the cost Of erecting new stable of
the same dimensions, having found that the
property had been insured for more than it
was worth The builder reported that he
could replace the stable with new material
for $500; but, unfortunately, there was an
ordinance against the erection of frame
bGildings-the old stable having been Of
wood. lie wns asked to estimate the cost Of
a brick stable, and reported tue amount at
$3.50.
The agent then notified Schmidt that he
of the old frame one; but Schmidt became
very indignant at the proposition, saying
II tOu't understhan dis insurance piz-
iness. Lay you vor nine hundred tollers,
und ven my ethabe burn down you make
me a new Won. | ton't want new stLable;
l want mine nine hundred tollers -
The agent reasoned with Schmidt, but all
to no purpose.
When the stable was about finished,
Schmidt went to consult lawyer, thinking
that lie could still get the amount of the
policy, besides having the new stable. The
lawyer, however, informed him that the
company had the right to make good the
loss by building a new stable, and expressed
surprise at his desire Of bringing suit against
them.
But" said Schmidt, Il insure for nine
hundred tollers, and dis lelar put dem
sthable up for seven hundred and fifty. |
don't understand dis insurance pizincss :"
Finding that he could not compel the
payment by law, he became disgusted with
the insurance business altogether. Calling
upon the agent, Schmidt said,-
''hlr. Agent, want you to sthop dat in
shurance on mine vrow. | tou't pay no
more monish that way. | ton't understand
this insurance piziness ~
why, Mr.. schmidt said the agent,
much surprised, ''you are doing very fool

portion Of this policy already. and if your
wife should die you would get five thousand
dollars"
''Yaw, Dat i vat you told me now said
Schmidt, "Yen / pays yoa on my sthable,
