How His Brother Went Down.

A little old man known around
the foot of Woodward avenue as
John" was yesterday haunted out
in the office where he works by a
stranger, who said he came from
Oswego and had bad news to com
municate. The news was nothing
less than the death of Johns
brother by drowning, and the stran-
ger happened to be on hand to wit
ness. Old John stood for a few
minutes as if trying to realize the
full extent of the calamity, and then
remarked;
"Poor George. / hadn't heard
from him in ten years. You say he
fell off the warf?'

his footing gave way and he went
into the water"

the surface before going down to
stay?'

''Do you think he had his senses?'
ooh, yes"
"And from where you stood yon

as he braced up and got a new hold
of his shovel handle, "will you an

Then, sir, tell me If my poor

This struck the stranger for a
minute, but he answered by saying
that George didn't hurrah for either
of the candidates as he heard.

the old man; 'maybe he was what
