Once e funny thing occurred behind

a writerfor one of the papers, with his
overcoat on, and his pants rolled up
over his top boots, and an umbrella in
his hand, al old SLOUGH hat on his
head, stopped a moment to chat with
Pauline Markham, who was PLAYING

For heavens sake, get off," But
getting off wasn't as easily done as
said. The reporter was pretty tall
and very clumsy, and thoroughly
scared, so he stood looking about him
like a fool-going up, up, all the time.
But Markham at last-and just at the
last moment, too, gave the fellow a
shove aud knocked him of the trap.
He struck his head against the corner

IN a coil Of rope. He might have

VanderhIIt's Millions.

Ithaca Journal
Some one has made a curious cal
culation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt could
do with his money. William H..
Vanderbilt sincome from his invest
ments in SOL ,0O0,00 / per cent gov-
errnment bonds is represented at
$4,000 daily, which is S30825 per hour,
$3.F per minute, or 5 cents per
second. Assuming that he is paid by
the second, he cannot possibly spend
his money, as he could not select his
purchases and lay down the pieces fast
enough. He could not throw it away;
to pick up, cast, recover, pick up, cast
again, would take up two seconds, and
if he worked all through the twenty
four hours without rest he could
only dispose Of one-half his in
come. BY living economically,
saving up for four years, he
could, placing his fve-cent pieces side
by side, make a nickel belt around the
earth, or by converting his savings
into one-cent pieces and mounting
them in a pile, he could in twenty
years erect a road to the moon, and
have $500 to invest when he got there.
Should his amusement take a charita-
Bile twist, he could out Of a years re-
ceipts donate twenty cents to every
man, woman and child in the United
States, and have money left over.
Other vast possibilities occur to the
growing fancy of the calculator. In
Que day he could 90 to 5000 different
circuses, eat 10000 pints of peanuts,
drink 5000 GLASSES Of lemonade ,andhaye
money left to get his boots BACKED.
He can afford to have $4,000 shirts
washed in one day, and on the day OF
his death his income will buy ten
6rst-class funerals.
