A Water Wheel Story.

There were two men (abou
: 1888, ,Stickpenny and Whewell
who owned a saw mill near OLD
Town, Maine, in common. TIE
arrangement under which the
mill was operated was that each
had the mill all to himself du-
ring alternate weeks. Stick
penny was a mean, rusty old
chap; Whewell was a shrewd,
investigating young man. The
mill was run by a crude, rough
undershot wheel, that gave very
little power for the amount of
water used, so that the water
was often short. Whewell want
ed to put in a new iron spi-
ral-vent wheel, then just COM
ing out, but Stickpenny would
have nothing to do with it. He
wasn't going to lay out money
for any such a job as that
Finally, Whewell said he would
pay all the bills, to which Stick
penny at last agreed, but pro-
yided you put the wheel in in
your week. So the new wheel
was put in, and Whewell, being
Of mechanical turn of mind,
experimental with it and soon
found that by plugging up some
of the orifices the saw went
through the log faster than when
they were all open. So he plug
ged them up during his week
and always pulled the plugs all
out again for Stickpenny to OPP
crate with. Soon it began to
be noticed that somehow or 9TH
er Whewell always managed to
saw a couple of thousand feet
more of lumber in his week than
ever Stickpenny could, no mat
ter how the pond was.
"Finally Slickpenny went
down to see Whewell about it.
Says he, 'Whewell, how is it
that you manage to saw more
lumber in a given time than /
can when my turn comes roundY
Says Whewell, Don't you know
how that is? Waal, I'll tell
you. It's because you amt
been treatin' OF me fairly in this
It's ag'in nature. You
can't expect the mill to saw for
you as it does for them rs do the
square thing all around Stick
penny wouldn't believe that ,and
went away. But still the mill
went on turning out regularly
more lumber for Whewell than
5tickpenny managed to get out /.
Of it; SO, finally, the latter came
round, and said, whats your
bill? I'll pay my share
"He paid it, and thereafter
5tickpenny managed TO saw
umber just as lively as Whe-
we'll did. well, said the old
iellow, 4 always knew that the
'olks around here were all ag'in
ne. but l never thought that the
Almighty was;' and he died
without finding out the expla-
lation of it at ALL"

Aneedote of Zach Chandler

When Mr.. Chandler was il
the Department of the Interior
at Washington, a man called
one morning at his office. In.
Producing himself, he said: "Mr
Chandler, l presume it is your
intention to have none but COR
rect persons in your depart
mentT'
"That is my intention"
"Well, sir, do you know that
you have a woman in one of the
bureaus ofyour department who
is of bad character?"
"No, sir; I do not know that
[ have any such person in my
department"
II thought you didn't, Mr..
Chandler, and SO | decided to
come and inform you."
The name Of the clerk was
then given, and the charges
made still more explicit. Mr.
Chandler listened quietly, and
finally picked up pen and ham
ded it to his caller.
"Just put that down in writ
ing, sir, and, if it is true, / will
dismiss the wornan," he said.
The accuser hesltated, and
said: "Now, / hope, Mr.. Chan
dler, you will not connect my
name with this matter. / don't
want to be known"
The Secretary thereupon lean
ed back in his chair, and said:
"You know ali about this wo-
man, and | know nothing about
her, except what you state to
me. But you want me to pat a
stain on her reputation upon
charges you are unwilling 10
substantiatc with your name.
Never! Leave the office!'
Upon the abrupt departure Of
the visitor so dismissed, Mr..
Chandler turned to one of his
clerks and said: "IIe belongs
10 that class of informers who
do not hesitate to ruin person,
but don't want 10 assume the
responsibility of their acts. /
cannot be party to any such

Brooms are never hung up, and

A Doctors Mistake.

: AT some of the more prlmitly
German and Bohemian waterin,
places a quaint old custom pre-
walls, in virtue of which the res
Iident medical or bath doctor
take up their stations ever,
morning at a fixed hour, unde
particular trees, on the leading
promenade Of their RESPECTIVE,
Bade-Ort, so that their patients
may be enabled to make sure of
finding them for consultation
and advice, at a particular time
and in a particular place. a
good memory for faces is a sine
qua non to these sons Of Hs-
,cuIapius, who in the height of
the season frequently ''inter-
view from fifty to sixty inva-
lids apiece during these al freScC
receptions. Mistakes as to iden-
tity, however, will occur, and
sometimes result in singularly
comical complications. Recent
| ly one of the most popular ply
sicians at a. crowded Bade-Ort
was visited under his tree by an
American gentleman, a recent
arrival, who complained that the
waters caused him snch terrible
headaches that he thought he
had better drop them and depart
to other climes. The doctor, ,un-
willing thus prematurely to lose
his patient, looked him over has
tily and, percelving that he wore
a fet, sombrero, told him, 1T
was not the waters that made
his headache, but his uncon-
sciously heavy hat" Swiftly
the American betOok him to tls4
nearest halter, of whom he pur-
chased a straw fabric SO light as
to be all but imponderable, and
went on drinking the water as
before. His headaches, however,
growing worse instead Of lear-
ing him, he again called upon
his medical adviser a few days
later, and told him that his head
was still so bad he really must
try some other cure. The doc
tor, who in the meantime had
forgotten all about his previous
prescriptions, and was as reluc-
tant as ever to let his patient
depart, again cast a comprehen-
sive glance at him, and cspying
the straw hat, exclaimed:
.. "You can not expect to be
free from headache if you wear
such preposterously light head
covering. A man Of your age,
nearly bald, and in this hot
weather, must protect his head
from the suns rays by stout,
solid hatr'
III The American gazed at his
interlocutor for a few seconds in
blank astonishment, then, after
bowling profoundly, he sardoni-
cally replied:
ssThank you, doctor; / am off
to the railroad stationr' turned
on his heel and departed.
