bill than on any previous day, having nearly

Over eighty different items were passed,
leaving ten more of that schedule to be con-

There was much better feeling between
the two sides. There was also less dispo-
sition to make speeches on the abstract
question OF the tariff, and a greater incina-
ton to debate the merits of the separate
items in the bill.

THE DETECTIVE PARROT.

An exciting scene took place the
other day at Henry Jackson's shoe
store, on Columbia avenue, which
nearly resulted in the arrest of an
innocent man. The cause of the
trouble was this: Jackson has an
educated parrot which he loves
dearly. Henry is generally cob
bling in the back room, and the
parrot has been taught to scream
when customers enter. Mrs. Jack
son had laid her pocketbook on the
counter and run upstairs to hush
the crying of her bouncing boy.
Remembering where her pocket
book was she returned and got it.
Just then customer came in. He
knocked and raped for some time,
but no one coming in he turned to
leave. when the parrot shrieked:
'Henry - eustomer-pocketboo
gone"
Jackson, hearing this, nearly
broke his neck in hurrying into the
store, dropping his lapstone on his
foot. He shouted in the most VIC,
lent manner:
"What do you mean, anyhow. by
trying to run off with my pocket.
book?s The customer, struck dumb
with Henry's remark, immediately
whirled around and asked what he
meant.

FIXING A sKINFLINT.

Tough businessa Well I should
say So"
The ex-steamboat clerk referred
to the old days on the upper Mis-
sissippi, Minnesota and st. Croiy
Rivers.
''The people living along the riv.
ers used to think it was righteous
to beat a steamboat man whenever
they could. We had to keep our
eyes open for all sorts of swindlers.
Steamboaters were common prey
for those people. I remember
once our boat worked all day to
get through the Hawk Creek chute,
narrow, shallow and tremendous.
ly swift place in the Minnesota
River. An old codger on the bank
saw us working away with all our
might and burning our wood at q
fearful rate. He calculated we'd
need wood by the time We got
through the chute, so he harnessed
his oxen and hauled several cords
& green cottonwood down 10 the
bank. Sure enough, when we got
through we had used up all our
wood, and were burning almost
clear rosin out O. the barrels.
When we landed I asked the old
curmudgeon what he wanted for
his wood.
I" Four, dollars cord
":But, says I, we buy the best
maple for $3.50
"sFour dollars for this. Take
it or leave it, The old skinfint
knew We had to take it, although
green cottonwood is the poorest OF
all fuel.
swell, I measured off two cords
just enough to take us to the next
wood pile. While the rousters were
taking il aboard I whispered some
thing in the mates ear. and then
when the wood wss ali shipped, I
told the old swindler to come to
the Office on the boat and get his
pay. When we were well in the
Office the mate pulled in the staging
and we put out into the river |
paid the wood man his SS.
"sHere, says he, as he stepped
out on deck and saw we were in the
middle of the river, I want to get
ashore.
".Do you3' says I. well, you'll
just pay us s. to land for you
.sThen I'll go TO the next land

xlsTAKEs OF LIFE.

Somebody has condensed the
mistakes of life. and arrived st the
conclusion that there are fourteen
of them. Most people would say,
if they told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes Of
life; that they were like the
drops in the ocean or the sands
of the shore jim number. But
it is well to be accurate. Here,
then. are the fourteen great mis-
takes:
It is a great mistake to set up
our own standard OF FfgnT alu
wrong aud judge people according
ly; to measure the enjoyment Of
others by our own; to expect uni-
formity of opinion in this world; TO
look for judgment and experience
in youth; to endeayor to mold all
dispositions alike; net to yield to
immaterial triaes; to look for per-
lection in our own actions; to wor-
ry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied not to alleviate
all that needs alienation as far as
lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the infrmities of
others; to consider everything i'm.
possible that we cannot perform, to
believe what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to uR-
derstand everything. The greatest
mistake is to live only for time.
when any moment may launch us
into eternity.
