O week, and when the Secretary-who
got four hundred a month for putting
his feet on his desk and writing notes
from the Poodle Dog"-scowIed and
wanted to know where in the bottom
less pit the Stock Report was. Dennis
felt very much overpowered and down
trodden indeed. But Dennis had heard
OF Wilmington, and Franklin, and John
Mccullough. and other great men, and
SO he worked patiently on. washing the
spittooDs. taking round assessment
notices, listening al the Board-room key.
holes, and hiding bis time generally.
Patience and frugality is its
own reward, and one day Dennis
heard the President read q telegram from
the Superintendent upon the lode. They
bad struck pay rock at last. That night
Dennis drifted round and conferred
awhile with Mccarthy. who kept the sa-
loon at the corner. Then he had wbis-
per or two with Hoolihan, who had
made few dollars running the hack
stand, McNabb bad also something to |
say to O'Fiynn, the stevedore, of con-
fidential nature. The next morning the |
Secretary of the Yellow Cat Gold and |
Silver Mining Company. found McNabb's
brogans in front of bis inkstand. and the |
spittoops being cleaned by Monaghan.
Before the official could recover his
breath small Fenian procession filed in.
There had been corner in Yellow Cat
that morning, and in less than ten min.
utes the old Board was voted out and the
meek McNabb elected President. and
was bBsily signing notices of five dol.
lar assessment on the outsiders.
And now Mr.. Dennis McNsbb rides
languidly down to the office 10 bis coupe
aud in the evening he sits on a satin
sofa up at the ex. Presidents house with
his French boots on the Steinwsy Grand,
, and four-bit cigar in his mouth, while
the ex.P 3 daughter sings " Lannigan's
Ball "in Italian-smacks him with her
fan-and says: 'You Irish are such
naughty, tickle men. but 30 nice"
The BIGaEsT MAN IN THE STATE AT o
store in town. yesterday. a large lot OF
goods, consisting principally of heavy
groceries, was being delivered on the
sidewalk from freight-wagon, when q
strapping Young fellow, about six feet in
hight and muscled in proportion. came
along and asked if they wanted help.
The clerk who was experimenting the
unloading is rather light-waisted look
ing observation-disclosures looking in fact
but has had considerable experience in
handling groceries, and has got knack
OF chucking around sacks of -four and
barrels of sugar with perfect looseness.
." Are you pretty stout?" said he to the
applicant for work 'Stout! I'm the
biggest man in the State; why Jest look
at me-" Yes, you look pretty stout"
replied the clerk, "but you'll have to
work with me-" "Work with you "
said the biggest man, and he GUILD his
upper lip and cast glance OF whitening
scorn at tho slim proportions of the
clerk. work with you! jest peel your
self and start in. till you see how quick

and the way that clerk slung bags and
boxes up to the eighth and ninth tiers
and kept the store truck on a keen jump
was sight for sore eyes. The biggest
man in the State weakened early in the
the action. and, with the perspiratiou
