A Practical Joke.

From the OIL City Derr ok.
Joe Skinner was-once the greatest joker
in Oil City, and one of his tricks came
near bringing on riot one day. Jte
was walking along Seneca street when he
suddenly stopped and began poking in
the mud with his cane, at the same time
allowing his other hand to slide over his
shirt bosom as if in quest of something
which was there. His movements quick
ly attracted a bootb.ack, who ran up and
asked:
Lost suthin', mister?" and began look
ing about.
Then came merchant and two clerks
out of the store and began looking up
and down the walk A teamster jumped
off his wagon and Joined. A barber re-
marked, "Was it your diamond pin, Joeg"
aud this was caught up and echoed
among the crowd which had gathered,
until the story grew that q diamond pin
worth $4,000 had been lost The crowd
extended until it filled both sides of the
street, and all manner of suggestions
were made. One man proposed to shovel
up all the dirt and mud and have it care
fully looked over. Another SAID the side
walk ought to be torn up. A man crowd
ed into place and trod on the toes of
another man, who gave him push. A
blow followed and fight took place, and
in two minutes the police were hauling
man off to the lookup, while Joe got out
side the crowd and laughed at his awful
hoax until the tears ran down his cheeks.
The search continued for two hours.

Couldn't Game Him.

There was strapping big young fell
low from the interior at the foot OF Wood
ward avenue, yesterday, to see the ship
ping. Several bootblacks had tackled
him fer a job in vain, and they finally
got together behind some punches OF
shingles, and went into committee of the
whole to concoct scheme for revenge.
AS result, an innocent-looking sinner
sidled up to the stranger and sail:
"See here, Johnnie, I've made a bet
with the boys"
"Wall, l don't kerr was the cold
hearted answer.
'I've made bet that kin shine one
O. them shoes o. your in less four
minits," continued the boy. 1.-THE bet is
a quarter, and l know you'll gin me
chance to win it, Jist stick out your
foot here, and the job won't cost We q
cent?
The stranger slowly consented, and
held his watch to time the work. The
lad worked fast, and he had good pol
lsh on the shoe in about three minutes.
When through, he rose up, packed away
his brushes, and the stranger found HIM
self in Just the fix the boys had planned.
They expected an offer to complete the
job, but it did not come. After a mo-
ment devoted to thought, the young man
descended the steps to the harbor-mss-
ter's boat, reached out his leg for the wa
ter, and "souse" went the shiny shoe be-
low the surface.
81 reckon" said the stranger, as he
pulled in his leg and let half gallon Of
water run out OF his shoe, 81 reckon you
boys think you're smart: but none of our
family ever mlstook saleratus for salsody,
and didn't come to town to have my
hair cut with buzz saw.

A Lincoln anecdote Is toId by q CORES
pondent of the Decatur Sun. While
Judge Logan, of Springfield, ILL.,, was
Lincoln's partner, two farmers, who had
misunderstanding respecting a horse
trade, went to law. By mutual consent,
the partners in law became antagonists
in this case On the day Of the trial, Mr..
Logan, having bought new SHIRT open
in the back, with a huge standing collar,
dressed himself in extreme haste, aud put
on the shirt with tie bosom at the back,
a linen coat concealing the blunder. He
dazed the jury with his knowledge of
"horse points" and as the day Nas sultry,
took off his coat and summed up in his
shirt sleeves. Lincoln, sitting behind him
took in the situation and when his turn
came, remarked to the jury: Gentlemen,
Mr.. Logan has been trying for ever an
hour to make you believe that he knows
more about a horse than these honest old
farmers who are witnesses; he has quoted
largely from his horse DOCTOR and now,
gentlemen, submit to you there he lifted
Logan out of his char and turned his
back to the jury and the crowd, at the
same time Tipping up the enormous stand
ing COLLAR, What dependence can you
place in his horse knowledge when he
has not sense enough to put on his shirtG''
The roars OF laughter that greeted this
and the verdict that Lincoln
got soon after, gave Logan a permanent
prejudice against Blossom shirts"
