these fippant counter jumpers, these weak
headed handles, with their puppyish cox

their urbane experience. Slim Jim wont

pomatumed snoblings of the yardstick and
the sugar scoop will be suffered, all their
empty lives, to kick away from Seraphina's

full country lads as he who turned and bowed

THE ABsCoNDER, Misunderstanding the
misdoings of Malim, the absconding book
keeper, the Reno Gazette of Tuesday evening
says:
Last Friday Mr. Edward Malim, book
keeper for L. P. Drexler & Co., brokers, Viz
ginia City, came to Reno and saw his wife off
on the evening train. Returning Saturday
morning he went to work as usual in the
Office, and was seen at his post at $50 Satur
day evening. Near o'clock he procured
team at MONEYS livery stable to go to Reno.
On arriving here, he hitohed the team to the
fence back of the Courthouse, and evidently
took either the east or west bound train,
one leaving here at IL 80 a. NJ. and the other
at $50 a. NJ About II o'clock Sunday morn
ing Mr. Vesey sent a man to fix the water
tank, the horses and buggy were found, and
no owner appearing, and the fact Of the team
having been seen there for some time, aroused
Ed. s suspicious, and he accordingly had it
put in the stable. No one called for the team,
and seeing Mr.. Mooneys name on the blan-
kets, IN the evening he teegraphed TO Moon
ey and received an answer to hold the team.
Yesterday morning the team was taken back
TO Virginia City Last night ex-Chief OF Police
Ben Lackey came down On the train and gave
the information that Malim had stolen from
the oihce 81 800 in coin, and carried off the
main books Of the Office. Laokey is in town

City, and about two months ago he was mar
ried to Miss Delmas Of that city. He has

Did you Hear That =!

A New Orleans paper tells Of a
printer, who, when his fellow-workmen
went out to drink beer, put in the bank
the exact amount he would have spent
if he had gone out with them to drink,
He did this for FIVE years.
He then looked at his bank account
and fouud that he had lain up five hum
bred and twenty-one dollars and eighty
six cents.
In five years he had not lost day
because of sickness. Three out of five
of his fellow-workmen had in the
meantime become drunkards.
The water-drinker then bought out
the printing-office; and In twenty years
from the time that he began to put by
his money, he had laid aside a good
many thousands ofdollars. This story
teaches lesson which every little boy
should lay to heart.

One half cash, the other half in five

"Wen,you Just ought to see the things

shaking his head at the boy across the
table.
John subsidized for minute or two. and
when his mother passed the cheese
around everybody said:
Thank you. no.
Pretty soon the student. desiring to
mollify his father, said: :.
"Father, did you ever look at a toad
through a microscope ~

replied the parent, scowling at the
boy.
John was rather disappointed at his
failure to arouse enthusiasm, and just as
the strawberries were being passed a.
round, h e remarked
"Well, you just ought to look at q
strawberry once through the microscope
They look just like warts, they do, ant
you think you see bugs running"
"Jawn ~ said his mother.
Boy!" warned his father.
:'Well, they look warse than flies

ed they doubted his yeraclty, FOR flies.
"Boy"' said the father, making a mo-
ton for John to leave the table.
John left, and as soon as it was con-
venient for him to do so the father es-
corted the lad to the wash-room in the
basement, bounced him around, and
said
