Yankee Wit that Paid a Board Bill
and Laid the Foundation for
Fortune.

A Yankee, named Mather, who had
been for twenty years IN an insurance
Office, was in Cincinnati, out of work,
and living on ten cents a day. He
had room with certain Mrs. Stearns,
and as his bill there was assuming
respectable proportions, and he had no
immediate prospects of being able to
liquidate, he decided to "skip by the
light of the moon
That very day his landlady in
quired; Aren't you a lawyer, Mr..
Mather2" Quick as thought, he re-
sponded, Yes" "Well | want to get
your advice. My husband has left me,
and wants to get hold of the policy of
insurance on his life, which have.
Can he do so, and sell il back to the
company" Mr.. Mather examined the
policy, and feeling doubtful on one
point, told her he would advise her in
the morning. He repaired at once to
the law Office of friend, and in an off
hand way gained the information he
desired, and the following day gave
his final decision to Mrs. Stearns. He
had accumulated a few dollars, and
asked his landlady the amount of his
bill. why, you are not going, are
you? | hoped you would board out
your bill against me for your advice?'
"Thats so, we lawyers cant advise
for nothing. But | must go to-day.
How much is your bIll2'' Twelve
dollars" said she. "Well your a
hard working little women, and if you
give me SS, Ill call our accounts
square, though | would charge any
body else $50" Mrs Stearns handed
over the money with many expressions
of appreciation, and her guest depart
ed--not penniless and owing for his
lodgings, but free Of debt, and having
SS in his pocket. The best part OF
the story is that the money obtained
gave him start, from which he quick
ly arose to position of affluence, and
almost his first act after becoming es-
tabllshed in business yielded an in
come of $50. 600 year was to hunt
up Mrs. Stearns and send her a check
for $40, with the story that l have
here told OF course the names Civ
en- are not the real ones, but thi
sharp Yankee is now prominent bus
mess man in large New England
city; and the story l have related
heard from his own lips.

4 Classic River.

Scarcely nine people out of ten at
Port Huron are aware of the fact that
what they know as Black River in re-
slity has valid claims to the more
classic and euphonious title OF Riviere
a Dellu, and is thus referred to on the
early French and english surveys,
when mentioned correctly, and when
only approaching accuracy as River au
Delude, River Du Lude and River
Delluc. Dellu was French voyager
who was drowned at the mouth OF
Black River about 1902. Down to
about 1880 the river bore his name,
which was given it by his companions.
Then some practical American, with
more regard for color than sound
called it Black River.

American Diamond Wearers.

At Long Branch, as at Saratoga
and many American and Eurpean
watering places, the possession of dia-
monds and other jewels partakes of
the nature of a fearful joy. Natural
ly enough, the owners wish to display
their gems at proper times and sea-
sons, and in proper graduation. Thus
rings at dinner, eardrops at chop"
or scratch hotel dance, and far
cleaning necklace at ball would sat
lsfy the aspirations of such diamond
worshippers as are endowed with good
taste. Unhapplly, however, the temp
tatlon of value draws around the dia-
mond- -decked bellies SO many birds Of
prey that extreme vigilance is required
to prevent them from swooping down
on the glittering prize. There is a
true story of a pretty girl coming
down to breakfast at Saratoga witt
several thousand pounds worth of dia
monds on. Her explanation was thu
simple one that she did did not thinl
them safe anywhere else. More in
genious minds resort to strange de
vices to throw criminals off the scent
They imagine quaint hiding places 70
their treasures, sometimes, after tn
example set in Edgar Allan Poe's stor
and in s.Les Pattes de Mouche," Sc
lecting open places as those in whic
nobody would think of looking for th
object they are IN quest of. An In
vlntive lady stopping at Long Branc
during the late hot weather after sc
rious thought decided that the interio
of an old umbrella was the safest plac
for two large and valuable damon
rings. Unfortunately q shower an
her husband arrived during her al
sence. Selfish and thoughtless ma
: took the only umbrella he four
handy, opened it when he got out
: doors and the rings were lost Clear
. no opening should be left when

J, line needlessness and clumsiness.

The Monks Good Liquor.
TNasby's Rome Letter

Of one fact there is no doubt. The
monks of the Church of the Three
Fountains, as in the monastery of Ger
tosa, near Florence, manufacture
most delicious liquor, which they call
cbartreuse, which is the most seduct-
i've fluid, except absinthe, that human
mind ever conceived for the speedy
and certain manufacture of drunkards.
1t is as palatable as sweetheart s
kiss, and as smooth as book agent S
talk, and, mixed with brandy, will
produce an intoxication that comes
impereeptibly, but has staying quail
ties unknown to any other liquor.
One becoming intoxicated on char
treuse and brandy commences getting
drunk three or four hours after the
fact, but he stays drunk for an indeii
mite period.
The monks guard the escape of the
distillatiou very carefully, and imme-
diately that they have shown you the
pillar and the fountains, and told yor
the legend, they cross themselves ant
expect you to purchase case Of th'
stuff, or one bottle at least, the pric'
being five francs a bottle. AS the.
give the visitor taste of it, to begin
with, they seldom fail to make a sale
: especially as they dwell at length upol
its rare medicinal qualities. 1t
! greatly in vogue among ultra-temper
ance men and women as sovereig
cure for liver complaints, kidne
1 troubles, cancers, coughs, asthms
corus, dyspepsia, or whatever dis
ease they may hapen to think of q
= the time. Then they order bottle
! brandy at the hotel and take it regr
4 larly as they do bitters at home.
: The monks have very good trad
in this article, as the rush to see tt
q pillar and fountains is very large
u all times except in the summer. 1t
y better for them than as if they sold
a the regular way, for people fell tn
: they ought to buy something of the
after refreshing their spiritual natur
at the fountains, and then they a
ways have money.

Frustrated, ,debilitated, and enfeebled.
People have been heard to say, under
such circumstances, that they would
not give the toss of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
near the grave, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to a broken-down man it is worth
saving.
