Lent Helping Hand to the w ork.

A Washington county merchant
had a son who was rather fast, and
to encourage him to do better the
father gave him al interest in his
store. The young man at once de-
voted himself TO business, and the
success of the firm was marv elous.
At the end OF Two months he was en-
trusted with $1,000 to GO to Troy
and purchase goods. In that wicked
city he unfortunately fell in with
some conviv.l friends, and toge' her
they made several days and nights
of it, all at the young merchants ex-
pense Meantime the senior membe,
of the firm received letter from a
complaining friend" in Troy, that
his 81, 600 was fast running down the
neck of the junior party. Furious,
be dashed off these lines
"MY DEAR Son: Unless you re.
turn tomorrow with the goods, |
will dissolve the partnership and
close up the store"
The junior partner received this
just as he was tossing OF a gln-cock-
tail in tie Troy House. He read it !,
and then walking across the street
to u hardware store, ordered ham
mer and q keg of ten>penny pals.
Then he telegraphed to the senior
partner
"MY DEAR FATHER: send you,

An Extra Grave i'm His Lot.

The tribulations of a lot owner in q
cemetery IN Hartford, Conn, are set
forth at some length by the Postof that
city, the gist of the story being con-
tanned in the following "The gen
tleman has been blessed in exemption
from domestic affection, and but one
person has been buried in the lot. But
the other day he found in one corner
what was apparently a child's grave,
newly made, and smoothly turfed and
rounded. AS he had lost no child, he
thought naturally that in some way a
mistake had been made, but diligent
inquiry failed to reveal any family,
whose lot was located in that vicinity,
who had lost a child, and the gentle
man, in considerable tribulation, went
then to one of the managers of the
cemetery association and made COM
plant. An investigation was COM
menced, and the facts finally transpired
1t seems that a large monument had
been erected near by, and that one of
the blocks to which the derrick ropes
were attached had been sunk in the
gentleman's lot. When the derrick
was removed the block was taken away,
leaving an oblong hole, which was not
filled up. A day or two after the new
Superintendent of the cemetery, who
was making the tour of the grounds
and filling up graves which had fallen
in, came upon this derrick-block cavity.
1t was about the size and shape of
child's grave, and the Superintendent,
supposing it to be such, filled it up,
rounded it off, and carefully turfed it
over"

In the Desert,

The sands of the desert glowed hot and red,
The sun of the desert beat down.

Just the round shaven spot on the crown
An Arab swept up. bare-chested and brown,
: My tent door stands open" he said,
The monk found a wine-s'in under his gown,
The Arab brought dates and bread.
. Kind Allah, we thank thee" the Arab cried.
When our simple repast was spread
I fell to at once, but the monk replied
Nay, Sheil, thank the Lord instead
Then the two argued loud and the two argued
long
As to how their grace should be said;
But before they had got at the right or the
wrong
had finished both dates and bread.
When they turned to me. I could not declare
On point so exceedingly fine,
But / rode away on the Arabs mare
With my friend the Carmelte's wine.

But honors are easy, [ think;
So Allah l thank for the mare / ride

Danbury at the Court of st, James,

g Max Adeler in the Danbury News.
It is, [ believe, no longer a secret that
the purpose OF Mr.. Baileys visit to Eu-
rope is to restore harmony among the
members Of the British royal family.
The trouble arises, it appears, from the
fact that the Princess of Wales and the
Duchess of Edinburgh each claims pre-
cedence of the other, and when one
enters the dining room before the other,
or sits nearer to the head Of the table,
the defeated being refuses to eat and
goes up stairs and lets down her back
hair and screams. There is, therefore,
not only grievous annoyance to the
neighbors, who don't like such bowling,
but grave danger that one of the two
lovely creatures will starve to DEATH
Victoria has tried to induce them to be-
have but in vain. and now Mr.. Bailey
has gone over to see what can be done
about it. Immediately upon his arrival
in England he will go to Windsor Cas-
tie, ring the front door bell, and tell the
hired girl to ask the girls down into the
parlor His general idea will be then
to suggest that the two shall be shot up
through the floor of the dining room ct
the same moment, by means of cou-
pie of stage traps, and then be seated
at a circular table. If this is not ac-
copied, he will then suggest that they
shall take turns about, or draw lots, to
have their meals sent to their rooms.
If they prove intractable, his notion is
that he will write to the Gear explain
ing the matter to him, and insisting
upon his compelling his daughter to
behave, and he will then advise Dis
raeli to cut off the allowance Of the
girls until they reform. Then he will
bid them good-by, and take his UNI
brella from the rack in t he entry and
go home to dinner, unless the folks in
the castle ask him to stay. It is ahigh
and holy mission, worthy of such
philanthropist, and when he returns
with glow in his heart and Victoria's
annual subscription to the News tied
up in the corner of his pocl1et-handker-
chief he may very justly feel that he
has not lived in vain.
