Blumng a Crowd.

Soon after dinner YESTERDAY seven or eight
politicians we're smoking and chatting under
the Woodward avenue portico of the city
hall, when they were joined by long haired,
mlld-looking, long WASTED stranger who
seemed just dead with consumption. lie
leaned against one of the stone columns and
listened to the talk for few minutes, and
exhibited no great interest until one of the
party asserted his belief tina; Garfield would
carry Ohio.
How much DIDO YOU want to b-bet that
h-he will r. inquired the stranger, as he
Strengthened up.
oh, wouldn't mind bet of ten dol
lars"
I'll b-bet YOU one t-thousand d-dollars
against two hundred - continued the stranger
as he went down into his coat tail pocket
and tshed up an enormous wad OF money.
The politician crawtshed on the grounds
that he never bet, and the stranger looked
around and asked g
''ls there anybody h-here who w-wants to
b-bet that Hancock will be 'l-l-lected, I'll
b-bet him t-thousand 10 five hundred ,"
There we're no takers. Then he waved
his wad of bills on high and said =
field will be defeated
The crowd looked at each other and then
across the street, each man as dumb as a
clam. The silence lasted for a minute and
then one of the group remarked;
"Well, it will probably be close strug-
GLE
"W-will it? I'll b-bet YOU Thousand
to five h-hundred that it won't b-be ~
promptly replied the stranger
No one spoke again for thirty seconds,
and then the remark was made that both
parties were preparing for great struggle.
Struggle b-be darned. I'll b-bet you
five h-hundred that there won't be any strug-
gle"
One or two showed their hands into their
pockets and jingled their keys, but it ended
right there. When the silence had grown
painful the cousumptiye asked:
"Do any Of you g-gentlemen notice any
impediment in my s-speech,'
''les," they all replied together.
"P-put your money-one Thousand to
two h-hundred that | don't s-stutter any
more than any of y-you" exclaimed the
man as he began to unite the string around
the roll of bills.
Not hand moved. and after a minute
the stranger waved his money and said:
.'Or Ill b-bet YOU five h-hundred even up
that DIDO s-s-stutter like blazes :"
One backed softly into the hall, followed
BY a second and a third, and in minute the
stranger was left alone. Then he united
the string, peeled two one dollar bills off
the roll and put them in his pocket, and
threw away the score" which was simply a
wad of blank paper. He had bluffed the
crowd over and over again on exactly two
dollars.

The Same Old Game,

to start the balls, bony looking old tramp

mouth puckercd up for something good.
lhc Young man took the first shot, and, be

tramp, as he turned away. 1--WE been out

Too Much Even tor . Dying Man.

The tenant of a house on Crawford street
who was way behind on his rent, was some
| days since ordered to vacate, and then nut
his imagination to work to invent excuses to
remain in the house. He first had his wife
fall sick, and thereby got week. Then he
was taken with the chills, and got in four
days more. Then he got two DAYS in which
to hunt another house, and Yesterday when
an officer gent for the key he found the
man dying. At least his wife said such was
the case, and she acted like one greatly dis
tressed in mind
This is very sudden" remarked the non-
plussed officer.
Very sudden. sir He had Just said to
me that we would begin moving after din
ner, when he dropped to the floor and he
has been lying in stupor ever since. The
doctor says he may never rally again"

"Oh, yes, but please doa't speak above

She led the way to the bedroom. There
lay the unconscious man, but somehow he
didn't look as sick man should, and hi.
breath had a strong smell of whiskev The
officer felt of his pulse and made up his
mind that ii was game to beat the court.
He therefore began:
We'll. Mrs. Blank, congratulate YOU.
In few more hours you will be rid of him
forever. He is great loafer and hard
drinker, and but for this he would have died
in State prison.
The wife opened her ewes in stonishment,
and the officer continued:
"l'll leave word with the undertaken as |

may be they'll haul him out on the COM
mons. It's of no consequence what becomes
Of these old s6akers You will be happy

spout"
Al this point the dying man rose up. took
a cool survey of the officer and quietly OBJ
served
Sir, YOU are no gentleman, No, sir, YOU
are not I'm no soakcr or loafer, and |
want YOU to understand that I'm able to
have As decent a funeral as you can. You

More Wife than Country.

The other night, soon after a ward meeting
had opened, one Of the electors present began
edglug tor the door as if he meant TO leave

who said
Don't leave Us now, want YOU to hear
what the speaker is SAYING. Hear that
lie SAYS We must triumph or our county ia
doomed"

towards home" was the reply.
"Home great heavens, how can YOU talk

speech There he goes again He asks il

OF our cltIes-our fertile farms returned to
the wilderness-our families crowding the
poor houses until there is no longer room to

I'll sort o work my way out"
WAIT fifteen minutes-ten, fve-wait
until he finishes. There it is again, He
asks whether you are freeman or slave?
He wants to know if YOU have forgotten the
patriotic principles defended by the blood of
your grandsires--if you have forgotten the
sound Of liberty bells?

as he crowded along; "but I'm dead sure
that the old woman will if don't git home
in time to put this Goldfish to soak for break

"And you will see the country ruined

reached the door, "but if you had a wife
who could begin jawing at 10 O'Clock and

A story is going the rounds of the Eng
lish papers that large agriculturist has been
giving his harvest hands cold tea instead OF
beer to drink in the harvest field, and that
the results were extremely satisfactory, there
being none of the sullenness, exctability and
rudeness that had previously been observed
and attributed to beer. An Illinois farmer
tried the same experiment, but on returning
from dinner found that the hands had or
ganized kind of male sewing circle in one
corner Of the field, and were discussing
the ministers wife, fall bonnets, etc. The
deleterious effects Of tea upon those not &C
customed TO its use cannot be overestimated.
