MOLE H.

Z Ihe rubber stamp man was ar0un last
week, and called at the Office of o friend
of ours. He emptied his samples on the
table, and told our friend that he would
put him up a stamp in good style, show
ing his name, occupation and place OF
business, which could be used to mark
letter heads, bill heads, cards and en-
velopes. Or. if lie preferred it, lie would
mako him an autograph stamp, q fac
ssmiae of his own hand and style, SO nat
ural and true that he would bet q dol
lar-'Im take the bet" calculated our
friend-but the stranger went on-he
would bet d dollar our friend couldn't tell
the difference between the specimen writ
ten by his own hand, and the ono pro-
duced by the rubber stamp. The auto
graph will be printed in indeilible INK,
and is especially intended for markin g
clothing, which it does beautifully.
Our friend said he would decidedly
prefer the autograph stamp, that the
CHRONICLE did all his other printing in
remarkably fine style and Of surprising
low rates, but he regarded having an aut-
ograpl, stamp as .sUtopian" scheme. and
would have one at once.
So saying our friend squared himself
before the table, and under the eye of the
stranger, proceeded to write out his name

Cool.

A gentleman residing IN wills
age, finding that the diminution
OF his wooo.piles cotlnued after
his fires were out, lay awake one
night III order to obtain, il possible
some clew to the mystery. At an
hour when all honest folks should
be in bed, hearlng an operator at
work in the yard, he cautiously
raised his window, ane sawa lazy
neighbor endeavorlng to get
large log into his wheelbarrow.
"You're pretty fellow" said the
owner, ''to come here and steal
my wood while sleep" eyes" res
Piled the thief, 'and I suppose you
would stay up there, and see me
break my neck with lifting, before
you'd otter to come and help me" "

A MEAN MAN.

Il
Speaking OF gall, remarked an
eastern printer last evening IN q
G street beer saloon, .talking Of
solld cheek, I never saw man
who had more OF 1t than Pete
Blivens, of Kansas CIty. Three
of US used to room together there
IN 1872. One night 10 July-it
was SO hot that If you'd chuck
water on the side Of house it
would sizz like so much hot iron
we concluded TO go down add
sleep on one of the timber RATS
on the river. Well we got on the
raft with our blankets. J ust before
turning in Pete Blivens said he
guessed he'd cool off by taking a
swim. I knew the current would
snatch him right under, but didn't
want to give bin any advice and
he dived off the end Of the raft.
The under-tow caught and sent
him out OF sight in about three
seconds. As soon as we saw he
was drowned me and the other
chap went for his effects. We
found $3.50 In his pants pocket
and an old watch. We took EN- up
town and soaked the clothes for
SO and sold the watch for $12.
Then we went round town on a
sort of jamboree and spent the
the money. About 5 o'clock IN the
morning we were drinking up the
last dollar with some of the boys
at the Blue Corner, when who
should walk in but Pete himself
In an old suit of clothes that he'd
borrowed off a man three miles
down the river. And hang me if
he didn't demand his clothes, and
the next day he was round duun-
ing Us for the paltry $3.50.

Let the Children Alone.

The children are children as
kittens are kittens. A sober,
sensible old cat that sits and purs
before the fire does not trouble
herself because her ditten Is dash
ing here and there in a fever oi
excitement to catch its own tail.
She sits still and purs on. People
should do the same with children.
One of the difficulties of home
education is the impossibllity oil
making parents keep still; It'll
with them, out oi affection, all
watch and worry.
