A Lame Back.

An old sea-captain, we'll known in the
days of Havre packets, who SAILED the
seas over for fifty Yeas aud more, used

voyage as captain, when he had but just

Greeley's Trouble With His Shirts

One winter Mrs. Greeley went to the
West Indies for her health, and the fol-
lowing spring she sent for her husband
to come after her and bring her home to
New York. Now if there was one thing
the old man hated, it was the sea. The
very smell OF salt water made him sick.
But nevertheless he obeyed his wife's call,
as he was accustomed to obey her every
whim. In due time they got back to
Gotham, and that morning Mr.. Sinclair
received word that Greedy was not
feeling well, owing to his voyage, and
had decided to stay at home for the day.
In the evening Sinclair was going TO
Washington on bust less, and so, valise in
hand, he called at Greeley's house an hour
Or two before the train was to start. He
found the old man in bed, and actually
very i'll, having suffered terribly from
sea-sickness all the way out and all the
way back. He was alone, the other
members Of the family being i'll or away
from home, and so Sinclair determined
to pass the night with him, giving up for
that tune his trip to the capital. -.ra~
"Sinclar,' said he in that querulous
whine of his, Tim as naked as The day l
was born. Ny trunks haven't arrived
yet, and havnt got night gown"
'But why not wear this?" pointing to
he garment he had taken off before get
ing into bed. s.
ooh, I expect to be out tomorrow and
want that to wear then. How would it
look after I'd slept in it?" '.4 I.
Well, IN due time his luggage arrived,
and Sinclair made bolt for the article
he wanted. After some rummaging he
found it, and helped the old man to put
it on. It was speedily fastened at the
neck, and the nurse took up one Of the
wrists and tried to button it. There,
however, he stuck fast. The ends
wouldn't meet by fully two inches. He
tugged and twisted to his utmost, but it
was no go. Still, as the patient said moth
ing, he supposed it ought to be fastened,
and redoubled his efforts for that purpose
For about twenty minutes he labored
without success. Then he said: 4a
"This is failure. It won't fasten.',
"No,' replid Greeley, with exasperating
ca!mness, IL knew it wouldn't. The fact
is, l never could button the thing myself
But you seemed to enjoy it, 50 I didn't
disturb you"
He lay back on the pillows for a. few
moments, as if thinking deeply, and then
sitting bolt upright, he brought his fist
down upon the quilt and exclaimed:
IF every Mormonism works as far east
as this, I'll be blamed if don't have enc

reaching down into his pocket he drew

a crowd formed around the little fellow
who with great gravity and a pardonable
bit Of triumph proceeded to unwrap the
