The Very Best.

Yesterday lady stepped into bird
store on Kearney street to purchase a
parrot for household pet. Having
critically examined the collection, she
turned to the proprietor, and, without
otherwise designating her selection,
simply said:
II will take Honesty"
"Beg your pardon, ma'am," said the
dealer, (which one is it you said you
will take?"
II said 1 will take Honesty. Please
have him sent round to $50 Geary
street"
Honesty ?" repeated the puzzled
dealer, "and which is Honestly"
"Why, that one, of course" said the
self-possessed customer, pointing to by
far the fairest bird of the flock.
"All right, ma'am," said the ornithol-
ogical trader, and, as he was making the
necessary change, he timidly ventured
to ask:
and may inquire, ma'am, why you
call it Honestly"
Certainly" answered the customer,
with heavenly smile; "that parrot is
Honesty because Honesty is the best
Poll I seel"
The dealer was struck with con-
gestive chill and gave the lady half
doller short of her change. Fran

One of John PhGnix's Stories.

Out in certain Western fort, some
time ago, the Major conceived that ar
tillery might be used effectively in fight
ing the Indians, by dispensing with
gun-carriages and fastening the cannon
upon the backs of mules. So he ex-
planned his views to the commandment,
and it was decided to try the expert
ment. A howitzer was selected and
strapped upon the back of an ambu-
lance mule, with the muzzle pointed
toward the tail. When they had Sc
cured the gun and loaded it with ball
cartridge, they led the calm and stead
fast mule out on the bluff, and set up
target in the middle of the river to
practice at. The rear of the mule was
turned toward the target, and he was
backed gently up to the edge of the
bluff The officers stood round in q
semi-circle, while the Major went up
and inserted a time fuse in the vent of
the howitzer. When the fuse was ready
the Major lit it and retired. In mo-
ment or two the hitherto unruffled mule
heard the fizzing back on his neck, and
it made him uneasy. He reached his
neck around to ascertain what was GO
ing on, and as he did 80 his body
turned, and the howitzer began to
sweep around the horizon. The mule
at last became excited, and his curiosity
became more and more intense; in a
second or two he was standing with his
four legs in bunch, making six revo-
lutions per minute, and the howitzer
threatening sudden death to every man
within half a mile. The commandment
was observed to climb suddenly up
tree; officers were seen sliding over the
bluff into the river, as ii they didn't
care at all about the high price of uni
forms; the Adjutant made good time
toward the fort; a sergeant began to
throw up breastworks with his bayonet;
the Major rolled over the ground and
groaned. In minute or two there
was a puff of smoke, and dull thud,
and the mule-ohl where was he? A
solitary brute might have been seen
turning successful back-somersaults
over the bluff, only to rest at anchor,
finally, with his howitzer at the bottom
of the river, while the ball went off
toward the fort, hit the chimney in the
Majors quarters, rafting the adobe
bricks down into the parlor, and fright
ening the Majors wife into commissions
They do not allude to it now, and no
report Of the result of the experiment
was ever sent to the War Department.

Chased by a Mailman.

Lawyer Queen and Mr.. Ringo went
to Truckee Meadows on business. By
mistake they walked to the house of
Pat Curran, a lunatic, recently dis
charged from the Stockton Asylum.
Curran was supposed to be cured, but
since his release has devoted all his
time to sharpening his razor, an occu-
patton not usually fascinating to sane
man. Curran caught sight of the two
approaching the house and started out
to meet the invaders, arming himself
with a long-handled round-pointed
shovel. Just then Curran's wife ap-
peared at the door and motioned the
visitors away. Curran had commenced
threatening demonstrations with his
weapon, and, taking the hint, they
sought safety in flight. The old gentle
man with the shovel started in hot pur-
suit. The race must have been intenee-
ly exciting. The men could feel the
cold point of the shovel running up and
down their backs as they fed. Away
they went through the sagebrush, the
mailman in full cry. At the first quar-
ter Queen had the lead, closely pursued
by Ringo, with the old shoveler closing
up the gap. As the halt mile was
reached Queen fell behind and Ringo
led. The old man, heavily handicapped
as he was, labored heavily, but was do
ing his best to reach the fugitives with
the shovel. Before the next quarter
was passed wind began to tell, and the
old man was distaLced.-Eei.o (Neu.

Pay mt once.

Short reckonings make long friend
ships says the old adsge; so if you en-
ploy workers of any sort, pay them
promptly. There is often much un-
necessary dissatisfaction in the minds Of
hired laborers because their wages are
not promptly paid. It is unnecessary,
because it could be easily prevented.
Sometimes simple forgetfulness, some
times not altogether excusable neglect,
sometimes great pressure of other bust
ness, sometimes the charms of pleasure

or the attraction of good company
causes delay in paying wages. No
matter what the cause, it does not sup
ply the wants of the poor man or his
family, or prevent his having feeling
of being wronged. A cheerful payment
of sheer dues has often put smile Oh
the face, elasticity in the step, energy
in the arm, and more and better work in
every hour. Money is wonderful help
to labor.

WIT AND HUMOR.

Wit AND HUMOR.
A YACHT can stand on a tack without
swearing. A man can't.
: WHEN mans temper gets the best
of him it reveals the worst of him.
WHEN people are killed by an over
dose of opiates isn't it laudan'u to the
skies?
ONE-HALF of this world don't know
what the other half take in their soda
water.
IT is always the smoke from the other
mans cigar that is offensive to the
young lady.
