Reaching his destination, Whitman found
rest at Doolittle's City Tavern. Let It be un-
derstood that he was q graduate Of Harvard,
and at this tavern he was at home. As he en-
tered tho parlor OF the house he found several
ladies and gentlemen assembled, and he heard

" Say. my friend, you are from the coun-

MIR. BUTTERwrcK's Gas BILL.

During one of the few cold snaps that we
had last winter the gas meter in Mr.. Butter
wick's house was frozen. Mr.. Butterwick
water over it but after spending an hour up
on the effort, he emerged from the contest
with the meter with his feet and trowsers
wet, his hair full OF dust and cobwebs, aud
his temper at fever heat. After studying how
he should get rid Of the ice in the meter, he
concluded to use force for the purpose, and SO,
selling hot poker, he jammed it through a
vent hole and stirred it around inside Of Che
meter with a considerable amount Of vigor
He felt the ice give way, and he heard the
wheels buzz around with rather more vehem-
ence than usual. Then he went up stairs.
He noticed for three or four days that the
internal machinery of that meter seemed to
be rafting around in a remarkable manner.
1t could be heard all over the house. But lie
was pleased to find that It was working again
in spite of the cold weather. and he returned
his serenity.
About two weeks aftcrward his gas bill
came. 1t accused him Of burning, during the
ON him to settle to the extent of nearly $780,
600. Before Mr.. Butterwick's hair had had
time to descend after the first shock, he put
on his hat and went down to the gas Office.
lie addressed one of the clerks
How much gas did you make at the
Blank works last quarter:''
ar dunno about million feet, reckon
g Well, you've charged me in my bill for
burning d half million more than you made !;
/ want you't correct it,"
"Less see the bill. Hm-m-m-this is
all right. Its taken Off the meter. That's
what the meter says"
"Supose'n it does l couldn't have burned
moren you made.''
"Ca6't help that. The meter can't lie."
+" Well, but how d'your account for the
difference ?"
dunno faint our business to go nosing
and poking around after scientific truth. We
depend on the meter. If that says you burn
ed six million feet, why you must have burn
ed it, even if we never made foot of gas
at the works.
"To tell the honest TRUTH" said Butter
wick, that meter was frozen, and stirred
it up with a poker and set it whizzing a.
round"
"Price just the same" said the clerk
eve charge for pokers just like we do for
gas"
"You amt actually going to have the au-
dacity to ask me to pay s350,0oo on account
of that poker?"
'If it was 100000 I'd take it with calm
ness that would surprise you. Pay up or
Wen turn off your gas
s. Turn it off and be hanged" explained
Butterwck, as he emerged from the office,
tearing his bill to fragments. Then he went
home, and grasping that poker he approached
the meter. 1t had registered another million
feet since the bill was made out. 1t was run
ming up score Of hundred feet minute.
In month Butterwick would have owed the
gas company more than the United States
government owes it's creditors. SO he beat
the meter into shapeless mass, tossed it in
to the street, and turned off the gas inside
the cellar.
He is now sitting up at nights writing an
essay on :" Our Grinding Monopolies by the
light of a kerosene lamp.

TOO SMALL 10 NE WHIPPED.

A few days since lady teacher in enc of
the primary schools Of Boston was waited on
by couple of members Of the school COM
mittee and requested to explain why she had
expelled little boy from the school under
her CHARGE as the child's parents had lodged
complaint against her for doing SO. She
stated that the boy was one Of those restless,
mischievous little fellows upon whom neither
threats or persuasion had any effect, and that
in consequence of his freaks and jokes the
rest of her pupils were kept in constant
state of reprehensible hilarity. He was too
small to whip, and altogether too annoyingly
impish to control by any other means and,
therefore, in order that the studies Of the
other children should not be interrupted, she
had expelled the boy from school. The mem
bers of the committee then had an interview
with the unruly little elf's father, who reluc-
family admitted that there was good deal of
truth In what the teacher had said" for 4"
he continued, "when first sent him to school
there was nothing he admired so much as the
big warts some of the boys had on their hands.
He was constantly talking about those warts
and wishing he had some, and, before great
while, he had inocuIated every knuckle on
both of his hands, and now he has more warts
than any other two boys in the school and is
proud OF it, " Butt the father continued,
"that is not the worst of it. After the warts
had commenced to grow on his hands he came
home from school one day, and while the
mother was out he actually inoculated the
baby's nose, and what we are to do about it
we really don't know" Under these circum-
stances the committee thought it best ne to
Interfere with the teachers action, and SO
they let the matter drop.
