NEW YORK. April 10, 1882.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1882-04-05
He Lined the Coat,

A hundred years ago young Eng
lishman was the admired Of all the adj
mirers at the opera at Paris, because of
the magnificence of his innumerable
toilets. A Flemish baron, who happen
ed to be present one evening when the
Englishman was arrayed like unto Solo,
mon and all his wives in their glory, OBJ
served in the Englishman's hearing that
the son of Albion's dress was very well
for every day, but that if he (the Flem-
ing) were to give his mind to it he could
appear in a suit that would utterly
eclipse the Englishman's
The result was discussion, in which
the Englishman joined, and bet of a
thousand louis, the man who presented
himself next day, in the costliest raiment
to take the money, it being stipulated
that in making the inventory no account
was to be taken of jewelry and precious
stones.
Next day the Englishman was prompt
ly on hand, clad in white samite, costly,
wonderful, and the Fleming modestly
appeared in Il plain brown suit, fitting
him ''like the paper to the wall,' and
evidently purchased ready-made.
''Shame and disgrace sit nodding on
your coat-tails!'' cried his friends, to
whom he had given the straight tip;
''let us pay up our bets, and do you go
and drown YOURSELF
':Wait moment, gentlemen replied
the baron, calmly removing his coat;
''this garment is lined with material
that costs one hundred thousand livres
yard
He had lined his coat with a genuine
Rubens, and took the money.

Borrowers.
What pests they are! Nothing is sacred
in their covetous eyes; they have not q
particle of regard for the rights of prop
erty. They borrow everything. With
a grocery store on nearly every square,
with ''notion shops'' accessible. every
where, those chronic borrowers are con-
tinually sending in to their neighbors
on right and on left for "a spoonful of
lard, a ''cup of -four a .'little yeast"
"piece of lard" apiece of tape,'' q
spool of cotton,''a mo. 6 needle" and
so through a long and curious catalogue.
These same people, and many others be-
side make a regular practice of borrow
ing your newspaper, generally with the
polite but meaningless qualification that
they ''would like to look at it for few
minutes. if you have done with it, OF
course they get it, whether you have
read it or not. And if it is returned in
good condition, you are exceptionally
lucky. Your pet magazine, too, which
you intend to have bound some day,
and desire to keep spotlessly clean, is
also in demand; and you are considered
''just as mean rs mean can be- if you
refuse to trust it in other hands than
those of your household. But you must
learn to say ''No'' to these gentry, il
you would protect your own rights; moth
ing but decided snubbing can rid you Of
the nuisances.

Small Change in the West.

In truth, a person who waits for change
in the shape Of two, three, or four cents,
is looked upon with something like scorn
in the West. Is your bill seventy-eight
cents? You pay eighty, or the obliging
shopkeeper calls it seventy-fve.
l recall an incident which one of the
merchants of Salina related when speak
ing of his recent trip to New York for
goods. After making his preparations
for returning he went to settle his bill,
which proved to be forty dollars and
three cents. He paid forty dollars and
was starting away when he was recalled
by a tap on his shoulder, and the three
cents were pointed out.
In scornful amazement he threw down
ten cents and again started away.
''Here is your change, SIR" said
voice, in no wise overwhelmed by his
contempt. -
The merchant waved his hand and
bowed.
''Keep it, sir. am Western man.
We do not grasp few cents so closely"

Manifestations of Fear,

1t is said that the Emperor Charles
the Fifth, reading all epitaph, "Here lies
one who never knew fear,'' remarked,
''Then he never snuAed candle with
his fingers" 1t is certainly a somewhat
4bsurd, though a favorite claim of the
popular hero, that she never knew fear"
No one possessing human nerves and
brain could say this with truth, says the
London Daily Meas. That a brave man
never yields to the emotion may be true
enough; but to say that at no period of
his lite he experienced fear is simply i'm
possible. AS Lord Lytton expresses it:
1T shames man not to feel mans mortal fear.
1t shames man only if that fear subdue."
There is a story of a young recruit in
the Thirty Years. War going into action
for the first time in his life in the high
est Spirits 'Look at JOHANN remark
ed one of his comrades, as the troops
were drawn up ready to charge, che is
full of jokes; how brave he is" ''Not
at ALL" replied the veteran addressed;
che knows nothing of what is coming.
You and l, old comrade, are far Drawer;
we sit still on our horses though we are
terribly afraid.' i.
Fear certainly is one of the most IRA
tional OF the passions. It is not always
excited by the presence of danger. Men
who can be cool and collected in cases
of real peril will tremble at some fanci-
full alarm. The Duke of Schomberg
could face an enemy with ready cour-
age, but fled from room if he saw a
cat in it. A very brave French officer
tainted at the sight of mouse. The
author of the ''Turkish Spy states that
if he had sword in his hand he would
rather encounter lion in the desert
than be alone in a room with spider.
Many people have similar fanciful an
tipathies, which excite their fears in q
manner real danger would be powerless
to do. Fear of infection is dread that
embitters the lives of many sensible peo-
pie. There is a legend of an Eastern
dervish, who, knowing that the plague
was about to visit a certain city, bar
gained with the disease that only a spec
flied number of victims should fall.
When twice the number persisted, the
plague explained its apparent breach of
contract by asserting that ''Fear killed
the rest" In all times of epidemics doc
tors can tell similar tales. During the
great plague of 1865 sc, an unfortunate
man died purely from fright; practi-
cal joker who met him in the street
pretended to discover the fatal "spots''
upon him, and the poor man went home
and died, not of the disease, but of sheer
terror: A long obituary list might be
compiled of the victims of fear from the
criminal in the Middle Ages, who, re-
prieved after he had laid his head on the
block, was found to have died ere the
axe could touch him; down to the poor
nun mentioned by Horace Walpole,
whose disreputable abbess literally
frightened her to death'' by visiting
her at night, and telling her that she was
dying.

And that same afternoon May went
over to the neighboring town, where she
bought very nice invalid's chair, with
a reclining back. wrote the name of Mrs.
Wynne upon the card attached to it and
had it sent home, and though she had
not helped to buy the bookcase and had
to wear her old bonnet, May went home
happy girl.
She was alone that evening when a
ring came at the door, and she heard
Mr.. Carr's voice ask for her.
''He must want me for some choir
business, or he would ask for papa, as
usual" she thought, as she rose to greet
him, and little wish ran through her
mind that he might not know she had
refused to help get his New Years gift
But he would! Trust Caroline Fol-
jambe to tell that! Perhaps he knew it
already! And that thought made May q
little constrained in her greeting.
But Mr.. Carr was very cordial, and he
had not come on choir business, for pres
emily he said
''Miss May, was asked to be the

matters, went to Widow Wynne's, in

Carr, smiling.

''in knowing how pleased Alice would

''And so you would not help Miss
