Advice VS.. Cash.

The other morning when a raw-boned
stranger was pacing up Broadway he was
accosted by a chronic old beggar who
whined out:
81 have been sick for twenty-five years ~
''Woosh but that's tough p replied the
stranger, as he came to a halt. ''What
seems to be the leading complaint p
''Fever sore, sir"
Fever sore why you've just staruck my
family My late wife had fever sore for
eleven straight years"
'And | want little money to buy med
icine, said the beggar
''No use in doctoring, repling the stran-
ger. Owe doctored Sarah Ann and doc
tored and doctored, and we just threw mon
ey away, [ spent over So, 5000 trying to cure
that fever sore, and she died on me just as
harvest time, when [ was in the worst muss
in the world"
"0nly five cents, sir," urged the beggar.
Give cents is nothing. 1t isn't the
money | care for it's holding out fales
hopes to you. tell you that you can't be
cured, and you'd better stop feeding the
doctors. What you want is rest. Go out and
buy You nice country residence, stock it
with good things, buy you span Of spank

Pointed Paragraphs.

What blessing it is to be simple to
have the body satisfied with simple food
and the mind satisfied with simple truth
After all said and done, if there wasn't
anything but lambs in this world, life and
mutton would be great drug.
The more man or woman knows the
less they gossip about their neighbors. Cul-
ture kills CAB.
The road to ruin is always kept in good
order, and those who travel it pay the ex-
penses
Ifmen of brains were always men of
honor, this world would be comparatively
safe
1t is tough to be poor, but to be ashamed
Of it is putting salt on score.
We are all of us poor just as we want
more, and rich as we want less.
The more intellect a man has got the
more simple he can afford to be-
Everybody laughs at monkey, but no
body respects him.
The bottom round of the ladder is safer

A Missionary in Boxing GloVos.

The San francisco Gail is responsible
for this
The other day, when the wind whistled
sad toned jigs around the battery, little
old man entered saloon in that vicinity
and asked the bar-keeper if he could leave
some tracts there.
"a whole carload, if you want to, was
the prompt reply, and the little old man
placed a package on beer-table, and softly
said:
"There's no nobler cause than the cause
of the heathen. We should all contribute
a small share of our worldly wealth to
shed the Gospel light across the seas.
\ pair of boxing gloves were softly re-
posing on table, and the little old man
felt Of them and went on:
at makes me sad to see such sinful
things lying around when the cost Of one
glove might save dozen souls in Africa
Three or four of the boys had dropped
in, and the saloon-keeper winked at them
and replied:
DO you want to earn five dollars for
the heathen p
"Verily, do"
''Put on the gloves with me and knock
me down, and I'll ante up cash enough to
convert whole regiment of African sin
ners"
"The cause is noble, the inducement
great, unused the little old man, as he toy
ed with the gloves
The boys encouraged him to 90 in, dcsir-
ing to see him knocked wrong end up, and
he finally got out of his overcoat with the
explanation
''It can't be sin to box for the cause of
the heathcn."
The saloonist meant to lift him over one
Of the tables at the first blow, but the blow
was warded off very handsomely, and the
little old man sighed
"Ah-um The heather walk in
wickedness, and they have souls to be
saved !"
'Look out now p cried the saloonist, as
he got in a left handler.
"Verily l will, and [ will give thee one
in return-for the heathen.'
He struck staggering blow, and the
saloonist didn't feel quite SO enthusiastic as
on the start. He took the defensive, and
he soon had all the work he could do
"That's another for the ignorant minds
on the far off shore p sighed the little old
man, as he knocked the saloonist against
the wall
There wasn't any "science" about him,
but he struck to kill, and his arms were
flying around like the spokes of wagon
wheel
''Don t crowd felar," called out the
as he was being driven back, and
he got mad and put in his hardest licks
lie meant to smash the little old man S nose
as fiat as a window glass, but he could not
do it. He got in two or three fair hits,
and was beginning to regain his courage,
when the aged stranger sorrowfully re-
marked:
"My friend, the heather call, and | can
not tarry much longer Take this one and
it may broaden your views on the heathen
question. Receive this one in the spirit
and may you be sure the five dol
lars shall be a beacon light as far as it will
go"
He delivered two sledge- hammer blows

right and left, and the saloonist got the last
on the ear as he lodged the first. He went
over in beautiful style, and as he slowly re-
gained his feet he felt in his vest pocket
for the wager.
"If you'll come around here tonight and
do that again III double the money p he
grow!ed as he paid the wager.
My road points toward Bosting,'' softly
replied the old man, ''and cannot tarry.
Let US part friendly, for l only boxed thee
for the heathen's sake. l gave to thee,
thou hast given to the heathen, and now,
farewell p
