jay Gould's Time i.

Several weeks ago, when Jay Gould
was in Little Rock, he was visited in his
special car by q strengthening, oddly
dressed man. ssMr Could" said the
visitor, twill you be generous enough to
give me ten minutes of your timer"
YES" said the millionaire, in a dry,
last-year sort of voice. ''Ten minutes,
thank you, sir; write the checkp''
''What eheck?" said the millionaire, in
kind of last-month voice Perhaps
I'd better explain. A noted mathema-
tician has calculated your income to be
81 per second. With you, of course,
time is money, face value. Now, you
have given me ten minutes, amounting
you see, to 5000. Have you 1.-THE
money about yon. or will you give me a
check?" The millionaire looked at the
man in silence. .'rll do the fair thing.
Make it $500. Hanged if 1 don't be
easy with you, make it S400-blame it,
say $500" Mr.. Gould looked long and
inquiringly at the man, but didn' smile.

The Model Seyton.

Josiah H. Haywood, Sexton of the
Church of the Unity, Boston, has re-
Gently celebrated his silver wedding.
Among the incidents of the festive oc-
casion was the reading of letter from
Rev. M. j. Savage, his pastor, in which
he said:
Il propose, therefore-entirely for
your own good-to suggest few faults
Ii you can only manage to cure these,
you will have become the ideal sexton,
and you can command a salary of S10,-
600 year, or perhaps earn more than
that by travelling with Barnum as the
greatest curiosity of the age. The faults
1 allude to are such as these:
81. You have not yet learned how to
make the church hot and cool at the
same time. You must learn how to
have one pew mark IS degrees Fahren-
heit, while the next one to it is down to
point where it would be comfortable
for an Eskimo.
''2. You do not seem to know how to
have free circulation, plenty of fresh
air, and yet not have any draft any,
where. You must invent some way to
make oil the drafts skip the pews where
rheumatic and bald-headed people sit.
SO. You have not yet acquired the
art of having the church flooded with
light while all the blinds are shut at the
same time. This should be attended to
at once, and you should not offer any
such poor excuse as that it is impossi-
BILE. To sexton nothing should be i'm
possible
81. You must find out some way of
giving everybody the best seat, right
in the center of the house, no matter
whether the pews are already full or
not.
IS. You must learn how to fill all the
pews with strangers without making
anybody mad about it, and at the
same time have plenty of room left for
regular pew-holders.
''6. And, finally, you will spend your
leisure time in inventing patent church
that shall be just warm enough and not
too warm; not too draughty, but with
just draught enough; where all the peo-
pie, whatever their mental. moral or
physical condition, will be perfectly
comfortable; and-crowning achieve
ment of all-that shall have all the seats
in the middle
What is a sexton for, anyhow, if he
can't please everybody at the same
time?o

The Five 0hedient Husbands.

There were five of them together. and
it was late. They had been drinking.
Finally, one of them looked at the clock,
and said:
What win our wives say when we
come homeP"
LET them say what they want to.
Mine will tell me to 60 to the mischief"
responded No. 2.
I'm tell you what we viii do. Let US
meet here again in the morning, and tell
our experiences. Let the one who has
refused to do what his wife told him to
when he got home pay for this evenings
entertainment"
That's a good idea. We will agree
to that" So the party broke up, and
went to their respective homes.
Next morning they met at the ap-
pointed place, and began to tell their
experiences.
Said No. l:
when I opened the door my wife
was awake. She said: "A pretty time
of night for you to be coming home.
You had better go out and sleep in the
pig-pen, for that's what YOU will come to
sooner or later, anyhow Rather than
pay for all we had drank last night, |
did what she told me to. That let 5 me
out.n
Nexti
No. 2 cleared his throat and said:
when got home | stumbled on 5
| chair, and my wife called: There you
are again, you old drunken brute! You
had better wake up the children, and
stagger about the room for while, so
| they can see what drunken brute of
father they are afflicted with l thought
| the best thing l could do under the cir
cumstances was to obey; so l woke up
| the children, and staggered around I'M
| til my wife limited to me to stop. She
used chair in conveying the hint. That
let's me out"
Next!
No. 3 spoke up and said:
81 happened to stumble over the pan
| of dough, and my wife said, Drunk
again! Hadn't you better sit down in
that dough?' So sat down In it, and
| that lets me OUT
Next
No. 4 said:
Il was humming tune, and my wife
called out, There you are again!
| Hadn't you better give US a concerto
said, Certainly and began to sing as
loud as could, but she told me to stop,
or she would throw something at me; SO
l stopped. That let's me out.'
Next
No. looked very disconsolate. He
said:
Il reckon I'll have to pay. My wife
told me to do something none of you
would have done, if you had been in my
place.
| '.What was it?'
'.She said, so you thought you would
| come home at last! Now, hadn't you
| better go out to the well and drink
| couple of buckets of water just to aston
ish your stomach?' That was more than
l had bargained for; so it's my funer-
al."-Ieras Sytings.

Fitted to a Chair.

In a fashionably-f store, |
didn't at first know what to make of the
actions of young woman. She was
deliberately gotten up as to clothes, and
had some advantages in the way of nat
ural good looks, so that she was alto
gether thing of considerable beauty.
She was in an upholstered easy chair
before big mirror, and striking vari-
Gus poses-now lying back on the soft
tuffing, both her arms spread out neg
igently; now leaning against one of the
sides, with elbow supporting her body !;
now sitting bolt upright in the middle.
All the while she regarded her retlec-
ton in the glass with critical air.
What do you suppose she was at? Why,
getting herself fitted with chair. She
knew how hard it is to be graceful in
some of the chairs of novel shape, and
was bound to have one that would help
instead of hindering her in posing pref
tily before her visitors. When a girl
sets out to be a fascinator, you under
stand, she must use all the devices
available for that purpose. So this crea-
ture was neither lunatic nor fool, though
the appearances were a little against
her. hung about covertly, and saw
that she finally bought the chair, with
the proviso that the sides should be
lowered two inches. CLARA Belle.

Berinnino Early,

| They are traditional They walk out

just such a couple left the train at
the Union Depot and walked up Jeffer-
son avenue yesterday. She had long
curls and pink dress and q yellow
sash. and he had standing collar saw
ing his ears off, button-hole bouquet
and pair of new boots freshly creased

crept over his face like molasses spread
ing out on a shingle.

He took up the middle of the street
like runaway horse, and the young
man took after him, but it was no use.
After race of block the man who
grinned gained so fast that the other
stopped short and went back to his girl
and his hat. Stretching forth his hand
to the innocent maiden he remarked:
Lucy, clasp on to that, and if you
let go for the next two hours, even to
wipe your nose, I'll never call you by
the sacred name of en'-Detr0it Free

a Chanca Gall

An American visitor in London re-
Gently at the Times Office inquired
for Mr.. Walter, the proprietor. Don't
know any such person." said the por-
ter. But 1 thought Mr.. Walter was
the chief proprietor of the Tinesnn said
the American. "Never heard Of him.
answered the porter; ''you had better
inquire there pointing to an adjacent
room. The stranger did Sc. His ques-
ton was received with blank stare.
''Now, don't say you don't know Mr.
Walter!' exclaimed the American.
"Eh?" responded the clerk; ''what is it
you want?n ''Can you tell me where
Mr.. Walter ives?" The clerk turned
as if about to say he had never heard of
Mr.. Walter. and therefore did not know
where he lived, when the American
said: 1.-The truth is, | am a friend of
Mr.. Walter; / am from New York; he
has invited me to dine at Bearwood to-
day, and | forget which railway station
he told me to goto." The clerks man
ner changed at once. He gave the in
formation asked in the most humble
manner, and the visitor was soon on his
way to Bearwood.

The Georgia Cracker"


M Quad in one of his letters thus de-
scribes that woe-begone specimen of
man:
IF you never saw what is called a
Georgia cracker you have missed an
exhibition worth seeing. Hei is the poor
white man. He is poor because he is
lazy. He is lazy because there is no
hard work about it. He has figured the
business of existing on earth right down
to a fine thing. He can live cheaper in
the country than in the town. He
.'squats'' on somebody's land, or
rents it until elected, after years of
non-payment; and his house is not what
troubles him. Anything with roof on
it and q chimney at one end Is house
and home. 1t leaks, but it only leaks
when it rains, and the cracker figures
on about Sc much rain per year. The
walls are full of holes and crevices, but
they let as much air out as they let in,
and so it is an even thing. The CHM
ney is built of sticks and mud, and he
sees no particular reason why CHM
ney should be plumb. If the door will
swing he or some one else may shut it
once in awhile, but if the hinges are
broken or the door says, that ends
that.
The cracker has family. His
wife is tall, raw-boned and sickly, and
she goes barefoot because it saves shoe
leather The children never wear hats
nor shoes, and are never washed nor
combed unless there is funeral or q
wedding close by. The furniture con-
sists of straw beds, two or three chairs,
pine table, two kettles, few pieces
of crockery, two or three knives and
forks and spoons, and if the plates won't
90 round some one eats off the table.
The whole business can be loaded into
a cart in a few minutes and drawn
anywhere in the world by dying
mule.
The cracker sows few seeds and
depends on the Lord to hoe and reap
and store the product. He owns cart
and mule, or a cart and spotted OK,
and if that OK can draw man and cart
and fifty cents worth of wood to market
there is no yearning after Vanderbilt's
millions. Thirty cents goes for plug to-
bacco and whisky, and the other twenty
for groceries or ''fixings," and as you
meet the noble duke on his homeward
journey he ''whoa's up' on his OK,
shoves up his old straw hat, and re-
marks:
Stranger, calkerlate We don't know
of some good place whar' a hard-work-
in pilgrim kin arm decent livin' fur
his distressed family, do you?"

a Blunt Client.

Ethan Allen, the hero of Ticonderoga
was one of the most blunt and honest of
men. An incident illustrates the char
acteristics and also his prejudice against
legal technicalities. He owed a citi-
zen of Boston sixty pounds, for which
he gave promissory note. 1t was sent
to Vermont for collection. 1t was in
convenient for Allen to pay the note
when it became due, and it was put in
suit.
Allen employed lawyer to attend
the court and have the Judgment post
poned. AS the readieSt way to post
pone the matter his lawyer determined
to deny the genuineness of the sigma
ture, in which case witness in Boston
would have to be sent for, and so the
matter would be delayed.
Allen happened to be in remote part
of the court room when the case was
called, and with establishment and in
dignation he heard his lawyer gravely
deny the signature to the note.
With long and fierce strides Allen
rushed through the crowd, and, con-
fronting his attorney, he said, in voice
that was heard from beyond the court
room.
"Mr. --. 1 did not hire you to
come here and lie. That's true note;
signed it'll swear to it-and I'll pay
it. | want no shutting. Iwant time
What 1 employed you for was to get
this business put over to the next court,
not to come here and lie and juggle
about it
The postponement of the claim was
amicably settled.

Six Unhallowed Graves.

Separated from the other graves stand
six stones, marking the burial place of
six men who, like human tiends, preyed
upon the weakness and helplessness of
their suffering companions in the
wretched prison pen, robbing them of
food, of clothing, and often of life.
These six were, unfortunately, not the
only ones of that class, but being ring
leaders, they were tried by a court Of
their own comrades. convicted, and SEN
fenced to be hanged, which sentence
was executed by their comrades July
II, 1864. They were hanged from q
scaffold erected for the purpose just in
side the stockade. The names of these
men were John Sarsfeld. One Hundred

a Combat in Cincinnati.

The heroic little jackass which twice
repulsed raging lioness in single COM
bat at the Geological Garden on the oath
Of last March died recently of the wounds
received in the encounter This little
jackass yindicated his race from the in
justice of the literary SMILES of all ages.
In classical literature, the royal family
of the lion looks upon the ass with con-
tempt, and wit found ridiculous hui
NOR in the notion of the ass as fighting
animal. But this Ioness was excited to
fierce rage by the sight of the little jack
ass. She bounded through the bars Of
her cage and with her ponderous jaws
seized the jackass by the flank. With
great self-possession he reached for the
back of the lioness with his teeth and
gave her such a grip that she was glad
to let go and stink away. After such a
royal encounter the jackass was in no
mood to be seized again by the halter,
On evading the pursuit of the anxious
attendants the jackass again came in
the vicinity of the lioness, when she
bounded for him again, and he met her
with his heels, and sent her rolling down
gully. But her first assault upon him,
when unsuspecting, wounded him cruel

Chicago FacstiA,

A waggish looking man stepped into
an elevator of a Chicago hotel, the 9th
er day, and remarked to the only pas
senger:
This is the longest ride to be had in

"Hay?'
II say you can't get SO long a ride
as this anywhere else in Chicago, for
two cents,n he repeated a little louder.
1.-TWO cents?"
Eyes, two cents"
''You blamed fool, you don't suppose
you have to pay for riding in this ele-
vator!''
Il didn't say l did. / only remarked
that it was the longest ride you can get
in Chicago for two cents; stop here" he
exclaimed to the colored boy as he reach
