A Cautious Railroad Maynatn.

A New York correspondent tells this
story
Huntington, the New York railway
magnate, is very cautious man." a
Wall street operator told me recently.
ale never gets left where prudence
Will save him. For instance, not long
ago an acquaintance OF mine who Lad
been having some transactions with
Huntington, went into his Office and
attempted to carry certain point by
persistently claiming that Mr.. Hun.
tington had said so and so during q
previous conversation.
"My memory is very poor on such
things said the magnate.
Mine is excellent; it is as fresh as
if it were yesterday" remarked my
acquaintance.
",lhe fact is, my memory is so poor |
dare not trust it, and ! never dispute
my friends in whom have confidence"
continued Mr.. Huntington.
THANK you, thank you; ! know !
am right !" calculated my now con-
fdent acquaintance, who was delight
iully thinking that by this little stroke
he would be few thousands better off
than if he hadn't suspected the rail
way mans defective memory.
"yery likely you're right--very like
ly," quietly said Mr.. Huntington. But
William. William, bring your book,
turn to Jan, 4, 1888, and see what it
was | said to Mr.. W."
The stenographer stepped out from
behind his little screen, brought out his
little book, and my friends little game
was up.
"Your memory isn't as good as you
thought 1t was" said Huntington.
"Willam, perhaps YOU had better
write out what the gentleman has been
saying here to day and read it TO him
SO be won't forget it," :.

sarcasm my discounted friend sudden

The Icy End.

In the winter of '73, a man attempt
ed to cross the frozen surface Of the
Merrimac. When about ten feet from
the shore he broke through. a work
man in saw mill near by seized a
plank and thrust it out to the drown
ing man.
Unfortunately, one end Of the plank
was covered with ice, and that end the
workman, in his excitement had eX-
tended to the struggling man. He
caught hold of it several times, and
tried to pull himself up TO the solid ice.
But at each attempt his hand slipped
and he fell back into the water. AT
last ne cried out in the eagony of terror
For mercy's sake don't reach me
the icy end Of the plank !"
A perpleXed student once went to
college professor for help in certain
study. II am willing to help you"
the professor said, with chilling cou4-
tesy, out Of course You know that my

The student stated what had per-

swered the professor. "You don't need
my help to get out Of that difficulty.
Still, when you really need assistance
l certainly will give it you. But you
won't forget chat my time is valuable
The student bowed his thanks and
departed, without receiving the help
he really needed. The icy end of tha
plank was held out to him. From that
day he bitterly, though unjustly classed
all the college professors together, as
cold and unsympathetlc, He carried
this isprejudice through his college course
because he had been denied little
