How He SURPRISED Them.

It IS said that at some point in. ev-
cry mans life he will do something to
surprise his friends, but e chap in
Moberly did more than that the other
day. He was a comparative stran-
ger, who made his headquarters in a
Railroad Street saloon. He was old
and ragged, and it was not always
that he had a nickel about him. He
brought in the fuel for the stove,
helped to scrub out and was tolerated
on account of his good nature. Ev-
erybody played him for a half-wit,
and no one dreamed that he had it in
him to create a surprise, unless it
was by refusing a drink.
Two or three evenings since, a boy
twelve years old, ragged, b~arefooted,
bareheaded and with stains of tears on
his cheeks, entered the saloon and
softly asked one Of the dozen men in
there for a penny to buy bread with.
He was roughly refused, when up
spoke the old tramp and said:
"Gentlemen, here is a poor orphan
boy who has asked for money to buy
bread, and been refused. / am only
a poor old man, ragged, hungry and
almost penniless, but ! can't stand
that. I've got a whole quarter for
that poor boy"
That was the first surprise. Fer a
minute no one spoke. Then eight or
ten voices cried in chorus: $50
have II" and it wasn't five minutes
before . purse Of IS 20 was made up
for the forlorn and hungry lad. The
old man rose seventy-fve per cent. in
the estimation of those who knew him
and the boy cried some mere and
went out with the money. Two min
utes later the old man slipped out,
and five minutes later he and the boy
divided the, proceeds under the gas
light on the corner. It wasn't ex-
actly q whack, for the old chap took
IS and left the boy twenty-five cents.
When 1t was Known in the saloon
fourteen determined men rushed odt

Dad" said a very youthful son
to one of our local politicians, ''it's

"S,r!" calculated the great man of
his ward, looking up from his evening
paper and gazing with mingled aston
ishment and wrath upon his young
hopeful.

a chair in front of him and lighting a
cigarette.

you are talking to, sir?" asked the
father, throwing his paper on the
floor and jamming his spectacles into

and the country in the meantime is
the sufferer. You must drop out
and give us cool-hcaded fellows a
chance. Young blood in politics,
sir, is what is wanted. That's the
watch cry this fall, and we mean to
keep it up. It's time you old buffers
were slowed away in glass with
other relics of the war;"
"Well, if you wasn't-you young
ras-"
"There you go again." said the
youth, putting a cloud Of smoke to-
ward the ceiling. "You never can
keep your head for two seconds in an
argument. But we can't expect any
thing else from disappointed old cur
mudgeons. You see you're like the
actors. You never know when to

An Old Trick.

From the Philadelphia Record.
While a crowd Of men were engaged
yesterday in contests Of skill, in the
shooting gallery on Clinton street,
there entered a tall and sinister-loOk-
ing stranger, who stood with folded
arms watching the marksmen. Pretty
soon, when there was a lull in the
shooting, he stepped up to the coun-
ter, against which the shooters always
stand, and picked up n Of the guns,
loaded it, laid down a nickel for the
shot, and firing of-hand at the small
est and most difficult target, hit the
bullseye with ease. Then he exam
ined the gun closely, and with a sneer
asked the proprietor why he kept such
worthless rifles to shoot with. This
query nettled the boss Of the rifle
range, and he retorted that they were
''good enough guns for anyone to
shoot with"
''That may be-" responded the
SOOTHING visitor; ''but they are perfect
TOYS. and l would not be afraid to be
shot at forty times a day with such
old popguns. Why and he picked
up q cartridge and inserted it in the
breach of the rifle he held, ''you can't
shoot through a piece of paper with
this, and / can hold the ball in the
old thing with my finger. 1t is load
ed now, as you see, and l will put my
thumb over the muzzle, and your old
popgun can't drive the ball out"
The shooting gallery man looked al
the stranger with an expression tina,
plainly said that he thought of calling
the police to take charge of an es-
capped lunatic, and then there came
into his eye a steady glitter which
boded no good to the q who jeered
at his guns, and he began to tumble
around the trigger of the rifle, over
the muzzle of which the scoffer held
his thumb.
Pull the trigger if you want to-
urged the stranger.
'All right said the owner Of the
weapon, ''you fellers here are witness
that il / blow his whole hand off it II
his own fault" and he pressed tht
little curved pierce Of iron that re
leased the hammer.
There IVES a very faint and dull re
port, totally unlike the sharp, whip
like crack q rifle ordinarily makes
not a particle Of smoke was seen, tn
strangers thumb was intact owe tn
muzzle, and the bullet was heard t.
rattle back in the barrel. The spec
taters stood aghast, and slowly fel
back as though the stranger wa
something uncanny, while the proprie
tor Of the gallery was pale as a ghost
care you the deyil?"' he finall,
gasped, while the stranger smiled
and, removing his thumb, turned n
the gun, let the bullet roll out on th
floor, set it up against the wall an
walked out.
The stranger had simply performe
an old trick. showing the resistanc
of the air to guns. His thumb pre-
vented the air from escaping from tn
barrel Of the weapon, and the al
acted as a cushion between the thum
and the bullet.
