Honesty The Best Policy.

The other day, as keen-looking business
man, with his hat worn on the nape OF his
neck, was standing on Clark street, a simple,
gawky-looking country lad Of nineteen, with
big envelope in his hand and his mouth and
eyes wide open, came sauntering along, look.
ing anxiously at all the signs, which he was
apparently spelling out. Tho business man,
being naturally kind-hearted and desiring to
do friendly turn to stranger, said to the
boy; HI, sonny what are you looking for2
Let me see that letter..
''No, can't let you have that letter; there's
bonds in It said the boy; but p'raps you can
tell me where Mister Smith lives round here
The boss told me the number, but I've for
gotten II, and the letter has got bonds in
II, and go ain't to give It to anybody hut
him"
"why, I've been waiting for you this half
hour said tho keen business man, as his face
frightened up; s'waiting for you to bring me
those bonds which 1 bought of what's his
nanfe."
''Be you Mr.. smiths" said tho boy. swell,
now, Pm right glad met you, because I'd
boss said You lived, and wouldn't have liked
TO so back to him without finding you; it
would have looked as If was Careless
With these remarks the lad took out a big
envelope marked 81. Smith, esq, present." In
the upper corner "S2, 800 U. S. 5-20s," and
In the lower corner commission due, 50,
Please remit by bearer"
"Thats all right, sonny" said the Keen
looking business man, as no hauled out u
scantily furnished purse, gave the boy S5
blll and aquarter, and said "rhere, sonny,
that quarter Is to reward you for your clever
ness and fidelity" and, putting the envelope
in his breast pocket, ne walked leisurely
around the corner, ran TO Dearborn street
with the speed of a deer, skipped lightly round
TO Madison, and halling a car was whirled
away at comparatively lightning speed. Not
until he had reached Union park did he draw
the precious envelope from his pocket, and,
with the remark, spray Heaven they are not
registered" tore It open. He then found that
the enytlo contained a copy OF the Chicago
Irl6VHe which he could have purchased at the
Oflice for Ave cents. Meanwhile the simple
country lad, entering beer saloon In the vi
oinity of the Sherman House, has absorbed a
beer, sailed away the 50 bill with seven others
In his pocket book, and, with the remark,
The fish is biting very numerously to-day, ~
takes another big envelope from his pocket
and once more sailed forth In search of keen
looking business man.-Dedrick D0dd IN SaE

DRUMS poMposITY

And How 10 Affected the small BOY.
Apropos to the pomposity OF General Bum,
alias Drum, tho following is related OF him
by an eyewitness OF the occurrence; 1t was
New Years day and Drum had donned his
new uniform, resplendent with glittering brass
buttons, for tho avowed purpose OF awfng the
common herd and making an impression on
the Presidential eye. He surveyed his uni
formed figure before French plate mrror
and struck several attitudes by way OF preface
and then started down the street toward
s'his" DEPART tment. AS he turned down Seven
teenth street, his head thrown back and his
slight rotundity pressed forward, strutting
like peacock, two small boys stopped their
boyish play, and one OF them said to his com.
panion in childish innocence.
"Ob, Charley look at him-who Is he ~
Charley looked with admiring eye and an
swered in like innocent manner, "DUn't
know Bob, but guess he must be God"

In Contact VIII the common Herd.

Last Wednesday morning, during the heavy
snowstorm, the laborers belonging TO the
Navy Department were out carly and cleared
the sidewalk leading down from Pennsylvania
avenue and Sixteen -and-a-half street to
the east front of the building. Navy Depart.
ment clerks, In consequence, got to their
Offices without molestation. The sidewalk
leading 10 the State Department, however,was
not cleared, and many Of the aesthetic young
gentlemen OF that Department got their dainty
little feet awful wet. one OF the Department
OF State young mon, who wears his hair parted
in the middle and has the air of one. who
would perish rather than mingle with the
"common herd" as the War and Navy clerks
are called, stopped in front of the main en-
trance Of the building, and, gazing at the
huge banks of snow piled up In front of the
steps leading to his office, remarked: "This
is perfectly hawable. II is too, too bad that
have got to go through the nawsty Navy De-
pariment. 1t is too bad indeed IL Is. Those
horwid laborers In our Department ought to
be made get up early in the morning and
make clean pathway for u.s." The young
man then drew his coat up, and taking from
his oyercoat pocket a silk handkerchief with
all the colors of the rainbow, tied II around his
neck so that his face was almost half con-
cealed from the view of the ''common herd"
tripped the ira la la lew up the steps and
stealthily made his way TO his of1ice. 1t Is
said that the young gentleman in question has
had since two or three attacks of the lapsy
pals, or nervous prostration, from coming in
contact with the ''common herd"
