Sam Conley, of Boston, who has
spent two summers in Colorado, left
here few days ago to pay his accus-
toned winter visit to his parental
home. While there last winter his
grandmother got to asking him all
sorts Of questions about the West, and
Sam was doing the best he could, try
ing not to make any exaggerations or
snissta.ments, when the old lady look
ed up and said: Now Samuel try
and keep truth on your side" This
rebake seemed t., astonish Sam but
after recovering from the shock he
told the old lady at that season Of the
wear the farmers in Southwestern
Missouri were driving up their chill
dren and hogs. The hogs they would
Kill and the children they would brand.
The old lady wanted to know where
they would brand the children, when
Sam told her that they would either
lop of a piece Of their ear OF put a
ring in their nose. Well now"
the old lady said looking up over her
glasses, There IS some truth in that

GARFIELD DON'T PLAY
POKER.
And He Don't Want Conkling's
Friend to Forget 1t.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Inter. Ocean, in giving an &C.
count Of the famous interview between
the President and Senator Conkling. re-
lates the following:
Then the President said:"what about
General McDougsllq"

Mr.. ConKlipg. There is no other can.

dations are such as cannot be very we'll
ignored. understand that his spplica-
ton is Endorsed by all the Judges and
nearly all the members OF the bar in his
district, by all the members OF Congress
Of both parties, all the members Of the
Legislature except four, and by all the
Republican State, district and county
committeeman
But" replied the President, Il I'M
derstand General McDougall spoke dis.
parsgingly OF me in public recently"
lyon surprise me," replied Conkling.
General McDoussll is a gentleman.
What did he say2"
HE told some gentlemen that some
times played poker" responded the
President.
"Then he certainly ought to be Im.
paled-the gulllotine is too good for
him. remarked Conkling, ironically,
"but fear you will have to overlook
such an offensive remark in a man who
was shot all to pieces during the war.
and is indorsed by the best part OF the
State o. New York. And il seems to
me that q man who has been assailed as
much as you have would lose no peace
OF mind nor blush at such charge as
that. Better men than you or / have
played poker, General. But, tell me,
perhaps there were some mitigating cir
cumstsnces- how did 1t occurP"
al am informed" said the President,
that he made the remark to party OF
gentlemen who were discussing my
character, and comparing me to General
Grant. Some one said that General
Grant gambled, upon which McDougall
remarked that | played poker myself
sometimes, which is not true"
"Well," said Conkling, 81 guess you
can stand that il Grant can; but if you
consider that remark as disqualifying
General McDougail from performing
the duties of United States Marshal,
hope and trust you will not appoint
him. You have duty to perform 10
your country and to your conscience,
and if the fact that man states that
you play poker disqualifes him from
holding public Office, in your opinion,
/, for one, shall not object. Ii would
seem, however, that this enormity is
somewhat offset by General McDou-
CALLS record in the war and in office"
al do not wish you to understand"
replied the President, that i do not
object 10 Mr.. McDougall's appointment
solely on this ground, but | do not like
to have such statements made about
me by officers in the public service.
The remark was dropped innocently
enough, perhaps, but it might have
been repeated in such a way as to have
done me considerable damage"
III will 20 surety" said the Senator,
that General McDougall will not re-
peat the otfense."

Telephones and Lightning.


EACbanBe.
People who are afraid OF lightning will
not be much comforted to learn that the
multiplication OF immense batteries for
electric lights is likely to bring a stroke
OF lightning within the reach OF the
poorest person. Several persons have
already been knocked senseless or dead
by fooling with the wires in private
establishments, and recent accident in
New York shows that the lightning may
strike us in consequence OF somebody
else's fooling. An electric light wire
was allowed to touch 4 telephone wire
by a careless workman on top OF build
ing in Maiden Lane, and the result was
an artificial stroke OF lightning in the
office below, which melted the telephone
and pulverized things generally.

A VERY BRIGHT CANARY

Taught to Sing Tunes and As
sist In Entertaining WISH
tors.
A family living in New York hotel
have a canary bird named Beauty which
has SHOWN wonderful aptitude for
picking up tunes, and seems to be far
i'm advance OF others OF his kind in gen.
eral intelligence. He is especially fond
OF the head of the family, recognizing
his footsteps and greeting him with a
burst OF song. On recent evening, IN
the presence of guests, the door oil Beau
tvs cage was opened after the master
had seated himself at the piano, and the
bird flew TO the gentleman's shoulder
and then TO the music rack on the
piano. When his master whistled an
air, playing an accompaniment, the ca
nary warbled and trilled in accurate
tune and time, hopping upon the play
er's fingers aud over the keys. When
the whistling and accompaniment ceas-
ed the bird perched upOn his masters
head and awaited further orders. Then
Beauty was placed in front OF the pier
glass, where he sang TO his reflected
image in harmony with the piano &C
compartment, and when his master
stopped playing the bird fitted around
the room in pursuit Of his shadow on
the ceiling. After he had convinced
himself that he had co'nered his dark
silhouette he sat gazing abstractedly al
it till he was coaxed away. Alter Beau,
ty mad retired to bis cage he kissed the
members OF the family goodnight, imi
tatlng the kissing sound when he touch
ed their lips with his bill. His educa
ton has been acquired within month,
and his tutor is the little daughter OF the
family.

Truth VS.. Tricks Of Trade.

There are two distinctive methods OF
doing business, which lead to exactly
opposite results. One seeks present
gain only, the other permanent profit
one deals in pretence, the other in value
one is dictated alone by self.interest, the
other by conscience and principle. just
as every tree bears its own fruit and nc
other, SO it is impossible to do business
on either OF these two lines without ar
irving at the result that properly be-
longs to il. Ii man sacrifices the fu'
ture to the present. he must not expect
a future reward; il he deals in sbsms he
cannot hope TO gain reputation for re-
liability, and ii he makes short-sighted
idea OF seli-interest his only rule OF life,
he cannot be rated as high-principled,
conscientious merchant.
In nine cases out OF ten, We do not
believe, when a man is found building
up his future in the less commendable
OF these two methods. that it arises
from a bad propensity so much as from
an eager desire TO reach after the wealth
that all are anxious TO obtain. He
absndons a steady, plodding, industri'
OOH COURSE llI tic 6dhE VI u WV
iAncying that he may come by his OBJ
ject the sooner, but IT turns out That he
is deceived, and when the plodding, con-
scientious men are reaping their reward
he is learning sorrowfully that integrity
and prudence would have been his best
policy. Such are the men who, impa.
tient OF the SLOW gains OF business, take
the first hundred or FIVE hundred or
thousand dollars they can command
and entrust TO the sharks in Wall street.
Or perhaps they have no mind for spec.
ulation OF this kind but think they will
make money out OF their customers, and
do il by systematic short weight or by
selling a poor article for q good one. All
these are shortlived eXpedients; they
may bring a momentary gain but they
do not pay in the long run, and such
are not the means by which old and
well .estsblished concerns have been
built.
tia man is entering on business
clreer and is DESTROYS OF making per-
manent success, he can do it only in one
way, and that is by being IN all things
what he represents himself, keeping i'm
plicit faith with everybody and furnish
ing a solid equivalent for the money he
receives from the public. II pays TO
make customers see that you are alive
to their interest, and that your expert
ence and knowledge OF goods is used for
their benefit and not to defraud them,
and the gain made in this way is per
manent and fargreater than the none
tary profit realized the other way. II
pays a man sbundsntly to be strict in
meeting all obligations and TO lowe no
man anything" rather than TO be negli.
gent OF these matters. We know the
histories Of many persons among our
subscribers who have worked up into
comfortable positions from very Small
beginnings, and We know that one oil
the most marked principles with them
