g For RnreS.H

One of our leading New York weeklies
has hit upon happy plan for disposing
of people who want to talk the editor to
death. Upon entering the Office, the
visitor sees in the glass partition before
him four windows, with silver plate
over each. One is inscribed "Book-
keeper" another Advertisements, F"
another Subscriptions" and last, but
net least, the fourth is inscribed 60 For
Bores." Any stranger showing dis
position to argue the subject for more
than five minutes is referred to the
fourth window, where a speaking tube
running down to the cellar. thence up to
the roof and down again to an opening
close to his car, is at his disposal. Tube
or not tube, that is the question, which
lie next asks himself. He generally
puts his lips to the orifcc, yells out,
els the editor in ?" and then starts back
afirighted as the words repeat themselves
i'll his left ear. He wells it again, and
again the echo is repeated. Then he
looks sheepish, smiles sickly smile, re
marks that THAT'S a pretty good thing, "
slides ont the door and down stairs be-
fore any one knows what's the matter
with him, and never comes back.

The Disappointed Man.

He was short man, with voice like
file, and whenever he spoke he waved
his arms in furious manner.
"This is the hair that breaks the
camel g back" lie squeaked as he trotted
out before the desk.
"My dear Mr.. Fuller, your back is
not broken" replied the court.
"Well, I've been swindled and de-
frauded and disappointed till I'm ready
to die in the last ditch. I'd like to buy
this town and sink it in the sea p
"Such excitement may result in
apoplexy," cautioned the court.
"Well, let 'er come came here last
Monday to see the regatta, but all there
was to it was few boats rowing around.
/ looked ali around for horse race, but
there war none, looked for dog fights,
but they were not, my board was as
much again as I had figured on, these
boots were all busted out on your stone
pavements, lost my hat in the river,
wife went home sick yesterday, and last
night felt like raging lion."
Scot into fight and got choked, l
hear" observed the court.
"And THAT WAS another swindle bring
ing me in here" continued the man.
"The officers told me right up and down
that I'd have regular hotel supper, II
bedroom on the first floor with high
bedstead and sea-moss mattrass, and
that he'd lend me money this morning
to pay my way home. Did I find things
as he represented: Where is that high
bedstead? Where are those hotel
meals? Where is my money to go home
on?"
81 do not KNOW" solemnly answered
his honor.
"When / think of how I've been
treated / feel us if ! could kill some one!"
shrieked the prisoner.
"It's awful sad," remarked the court.
"You raised great row, made good
deal of trouble and ought to be fined"
"Would you deliberately cap the
climax of all my troubles by imposing a
fine on me?' asked Fuller.
His honor hesitated.
You would--you would see You
would !" squeaked the little man as his
arms were tossed around.
81 guess l would. guess I'll fine
you about five dollurs."
Mr.. Fuller stepped back Il little.
He braced his feet.
He creased his elbows.
He got his voice around under his left
ear.
And he squealed:
"Ill r-r-r-r-ot in your bastile first !"
And he's rotting there. Such things
never occur without making other hearts
ache.-DetrOit Free Press.

A Missouri Tragedy.

The singing school at Smithton, No.,
has been discontinued for reasons which
as the LAWYERS say, will appear herein
after. The singing master was named
David and his favorite pupil was Amelia,
lady of twenty summers, who had a
lover named Sam. After the singing Of
the hymns one night David threatened
her with violence if she would not allow
him to escort her home. She declined
his offer and went home with her brother.
Not long afterward she received by post
letter running thus: Miss Amelia:~I
will see you Saturday night, about eight
o'clock, at the corner of the yard fence,
east of the stile. Come out. I will be
there. about eight o'clock and you will
find me there. [ have something good
to tell you. Come-Sam." The hand
writing was David's. The trick alarmed
the household and incensed the three
brothers OF the girl. When the time
came they armed themselves and pro-
ceeded to the yard fence. At the hour
named a figure was discovered approach
ing from the cornfield beyond. The
stranger crossed the fence, then went
back, and was passing at another point
when one of the boys fred his pistol.
The man retreated, pulled out a small
pistol, fired three times in return, and
tried to jump over the fence, but his
strength failed, and he fell dead. The
brothers raised mp TO identify the corpse.
Was it Sam?. No. David? No. 1t

In one corner sheep was roasting on n
spit. and elegant young officers were
cooking bits of kidney and liver on long
sticks which speedily became charred
and useless. Sometimes the sticks fell
in tho fire thus rendering the officers
labors vanitics and vexations of spirit.
General Skobcloff, one Of the most
valiant and interesting officers in the
army, was the gentleman who suggested
the cooking Of the sheep, and who slangh-
tered and dressed the animal himself.

well imagine, were not devoid of interest
to n man who had not tasted meat for
five days, when suddenly found myself
confronted by tall man, dressed in a
plain uniform, and distinguishable from
the others surrounding him, merely by
decoration suspending from his neck. A
single glance convinced me that the
Grand Duke Nicholas stood before me.
His keen face and eagle eyes, his impe-
rious bearing, and at the same time his
unaffected manner showed me that he
was commander.in.chief. The gentle
man on whom had relied for presenta-
ton was absent at the moment, and l
stood triAe confused. But the grand
duke said pleasantly: What paper do
You represent informed him, and he
appeared pleased to meet an American.
He offered his hand in the friendliest
manner, and made no secret of his plans
for the next day. I was struck during
my stay at the headquarters with the en-
tire absence of any formal etiquette other
than that demanded by the strict rules
of camp, and found fresh support of
my theory that Russians resemble Anne
ricans in great numbers of traits"

Lost for Twenty.eight Years.

Ii does not often occur that brothers
live twcnty-eight years in ignorance of
each others whereabouts and then are
brought together by chance. DR.. Stark,
who lives in Cincinnati, was born in the
city of Turnowtz, Prussia, where his
mother and relatives are still residing.
Twcnty-eight years ago his younger
brother, Henry Hermann Stark, for
some misdemeanor, was chastised by his
father. Henry was eight years of age at
that time, and boy-like took the punish
mcnt so much to heart that he ran away
from home. No one could obtain a
trace of the missing lad, though diligent
search was made. Ten years later his
folks heard that he was living in Paris
with family named Pappenheim, who
had adopted him and were educating
him as one of their children. A few
years later all trace of the runaway was
again lost, and when the elder Stark
died, about nine years ago, his widow
found herself, under the law of Prussia,
unable to sell any of her deceased hus-
bands property on account of the lost
son. Meanwhile DIR. Stark had grown to
manhood, came to Cincinnati, and began
the practice of medicine, since which
time he has. by his skill and energy,
built up large business. About ten
months ago he fell in with gentleman
from London, who was visiting Cincin-
natl. In the course of their conversa-
ton, one day, the Englishman asked
him if he had brother living in Lon
don. DR.. Stark answered in the mega
tive. The Englishman said that he
asked, for the reason that he knew a
physician in London who looked as
much like DIR. Stark as though they were
brothers. When the Englishman went
back to London he carried with him a
photograph of Or. Stark for the purpose
of showing it to the London physician,
whom he employed professionally in his
family. This physicians name, by the
way, was Henry Hermann. Three
months ago DR.. Hermann wrote to DR..
Stark and asked for history of his
family and pedigree. DR.. Stark replied,
setting forth in full his family history,
and among other things, narrated the
story of his lost brother. By return
mail he received letter from DR.. Her.
mann in which he stated that he was the
lost brother and that he would imme-
diately visit his mother in Prussia. That
visit has been made, and he is now en-
route to this country ON visit to DR..
Stark. After he left home he dropped
his family name and retained only
Henry Hermann, by which he was ever
after known.
