NO FREE PASSES.
How Barnum EffectuaIly Gets Rid OF
Deadheadinx DcacOns.

From the Bridgeport Farmer.
A church deacon asked Mr.. Barnum this morn
ing for ''pass to see the winter quarters"
The veteran Snowman replied, Free passes
are played out. We never issue one to the big
show except to editors, ciergymen or orphan
asylums, or to persons who render us equivalent
service In some way. Nobody will get inside
the winter quarters except editors, or in very
special cases my partners or myself accompany
Them Without such precaution there is danger
from the wild animals, which are not so carefully
rallied off from passers-by as in our public exhibi-
lions. Besides. strangers disturb the trainers Of
our animals and cause our numerous wOrkmen
delay in their work" lis that not carrying
your restrictions too far?" asked the deacon.
Perhaps you may think so.'' replied Barnum,
land as you generally like Scriptural authority
ior everything, l present you this printed card
to ponder. The card read as follows:

Curious Way Of Avoiding Taxes.


1t is curious fact that many of the handsom-
est buildings in this city and Brooklyn are rec
ords OF dishonesty on the part Of those who
erected them. An uninitiated nerson who WI" ~.
serves such matters is puzzled to account for
the number OF mansard roofs upon structures
with which they do not at all harmonize. and % .
drive through the upper part of New York or
through the city OF churches reveals row after
row OF dwellng-houses, each Of which is a story
higher In the rear than In front. The reason ri
this is, the rate Of taxation on building is af.
fected by the number eff stories. and the law
specifies that the number is to be determined
by examination or measurement from the gutter
or top cornice on the front of the building to
the sidewalk, and 1t Is to escape the payment OF
just taxes upon their property that men thus
pare down their houses SO as to make them an
pear to be story lower than they are.

American Fables.

One day While an old Goose sat tanning her
self on the side porch along came Fox who was
lame and dirty and badly knocked about. Try
ing to look as humble as he could and throwing
all possible pathOs into his voice he began:
Madam, for Heaven ssake take pity on me!n
La. sakes. but what distressed object YOU
are. she replied with a swelling heat
IL am lame and hungry, and desire relief. -
continued the Fox.
And you shall have it, my dear animal Mr..
Goose has worked hard all his days, and has
managed to get few dollars ahead 1t is there
fore my duty to divide with you shall not ask

''Oh, yes

Then she took him in and gave him snnare
meal. and bound up his hurts, and presented
him with shilling Testament and sent him on
| his way with:
Remember that charity is the greatest of all
virtues" '''
Just so" said the Fox, as he slid out.
The words made deep impression on his
mind and as he passed the hen roost he came TO
halt and emarked:
by hard work and plenty of cheek I have
| discovered coop full of fat hens. Over in the
swamp are dozen poor Foxes who are obliged
| to eat rabbit for want Of better meat. Charity
compels me to give this thing away"
That night the coop was raided and the poul-

The Boomerang says that a private
letter from Paul VanDervoort, chief
clerk Of the Union Pacific railway mail
service, states he has been reduced in
the number Of clerks by a call upon him
for men on the Omaha and Denver
line, which has hurt the service on the
main line. He now has more men for
this road, and assures US that he has
issued severe orders relative to this
matter. The chief clerk has ordered
also that Wyoming mails shall be
worked on the first day out, 1. e., the
mails received from east of Council
Bluffs will be assorted on the first day
from that place, which should prevent
the carrying by of mails destined for
Wyoming postofices. He also asks that
all complaints be made in detail to him.
III case Of letters the envelope should
be sent to him, and in case of papers
the date should be sent. II registered
mail be delayed, the record should be
forwarded. In closing, the letter states
that all that can possibly be done to
remedy the matter will be done, and we
await with great anxiety the result.
