No Explanations.

A traveller for Detroit wholesale
grocery house was the other day making
a trip between two northern county
towns with a sleigh when one of the
horses was taken sick and he drew up
at farm house and inquired if he
could put the animal out and rest him
until he recovered.
''You can,' replied. the woman, '.but
l want to warn you in advance that l
have run away from my husband on
two different occasions-once with a
drover, and once with map seller"
well, what of it!''
you'll find out as soon as the old
man comes up from the slashing! He'll
think you are after me, and there'll be
row.
''Oh, l guess l can explain matters
to him
'Don't you wait to explain nothingl"
she continued; ''he'll 60 for you with
out word, and if you can't wollop
him he'll give you the worst licking
stranger ever got!'
The horse was too i'll to go on, and
the agent had no recourse but to stay
and face the music. He was at the
barn, rubbing the animal down, when
the old man suddenly showed himself
at the door. Waiting just long enough
to draw full breath he made break
for the traveller. The latter dropped
his wisps of hay and felt of the farm
er's right eye in a way that laid him
fiat. He got up and came again, but
was received with singer on the
jaw, and as he went down the traveller
got him by the throat and held him
fast. By and by, when he dared let
up a little, he explained:
81 was forced to stop here and take
care of sick horse"
'.Well, that's all right" replied the
farmer. ''Let me up and I'll help to
rub him."
He was assisted to his feet and went
to work with considerable heart. BY
and by he went to the house and had
his eye bound up, and when supper
was ready he insisted that the traveller
should eat with him. Not a cent would
he take when the latter was ready to
go, but extending his hand he said:
stranger, PVe licked seven differ
ent men who stopped here within the
past six months, and it kinder does me
good to get knocked under the benches!
Next time you come this way stop and
give me an hours lesson. Goodbye to
you. ."-DetroI Free Press.

MIR. Emerson and the Reporter.

Mr.. Emerson was to read q paper
before select company. When the
philosopher mounted the platform the
reporters were all ready at the tablos
below to catch every word. Mr.. Emer-
son espied them, and prefaced his pa
per with the request that no report
should be made of his essay.
Every reporter save one put away
his paper and pencils. The one ex-
ception fell to work with apparently
more energy than if the sage had not
asked him to desist. Mr.. Emerson
glanced inquiringly at him several
times, and at length paused in his
discourse and said: .In spite of nv
request not to be reported, 1 observe
one of the gentlemen at the press table
is making copious notes of my paper"
Instantly every eye was turned upon
the offending scribe.
Rising from his seat and looking at
MI. Emerson, ne replied: mo; Mr.,
Emerson, / was not doing anything of
the kind. 1 was busy writing on a
private work of my own" He was a
writer of serial stories as well as a
news-gatherer for the daily press.

Painfully Embarrassed.

A stranger who got into the Union
Depot yards yesterday while trying to
find the railroad ferry slip, would have
been run down by one of numerous
switch locomotives had not u man at
work in the flour sheds seized him and
pulled him off of the track. The stran-
ger was greatly confused and shaken
up for q moment, but after he had tax
en- a seat on the platform and got his
breath he called out: !,
'.My man, that was nobly donei T
expect you can make use of $4,000 in
cash?" -
''Well, perhaps" b;
The stranger breathed heavily,
rubbed his arm, and after a minute
continued:
''Yes, feel just like making you a
present of a thousand dollars"
This was a painful reduction from
his first observation, but it wasn't for
the four-roller to find fault. He
brushed away at the strangers hat to
get the dust off, and as he handed it
over he was informsd:
81 think you would know where to
put 800 if you had it, eha" ..
81 want nothing, sir. You were in
danger. and Ipulled you away"
but shall insist upon your accept
ing something. You certainly saved
my life, and l shouldn't begrudge
$25."
He got out his wallet, which was
crowded full of bills, and as he handed
them over he remarked:
''Ten dciliars would buy your wife
dress, and every time she wore it you
Gould think of me-"
Eyes, sir.''
The bill came out but was quickly
replaced, and after minute spent in
some mental calculation the stranger
all at once handed out 81 bill with
the observations:
''Here, my man, 60 and get you
new hat, and rest assured shall ever
be gGateful to you"
Then it was seen that the laborer was
painfully embarrassed. He shifted from
one leg to the other, looked up and
down the shed, and when asked the
trouble he replied:
"Please, sir, but havn't you any
small change about youP think o
quarter would be plenty of reward for
saving your life.
"A quarter! Well, considering the
railroad company pays you for the time
you were hauling me around, maybe
that's enough. Here it is, and 1 hope
you will make good use of it. guess
l can get down to the slip all right
from here. but if you happen to save
my life again you can look for half q
dollar at least "-Detroit Free Press.

Thought He Resembled Webster.

Many lawyers were seated around
and, as their wont is, they began to
tell stories.
''When [ was a young man." said
Judge M, whose stock of legal anec-
dotes is inexhaustible, ''there was
lawyer in New York whose name was
R. He was not much OF genius,
but he prided himself on being like
Daniel Webster. He got himself up to
resemble the famous lawyer, adopted
a collar and necktie like his, and wore
his hair in the same fashion. In court
and in private life he affected Web
sterian attitudes and tones and was
thoroughly satisfied that he was Web
ster's counterpart. Vanity was not
the only failing which characterized
R. He never paid his debts when
day a creditor to whom he had owed
money for long time and whom he
had put off with excuses over and over
again, entered Rs office. The lawyer
was seated at his desk and on the top
of bookstand in front of him was a
bust of Webster.
"'Good morning, Mr.. R. said the
creditor. How we'll you are looking.
Good heavens he calculated, raising
his eyes to the bust, what splendid
likeness; where did you have that
taken?'
"'Think it's like, eh?' the lawyer
said, smiling.
"'Like' the creditor exclaimed, why
it's marvellous. Who is the sculptor?
I never saw such fine work When
did you sit for itp'
"'Ha, ha,' the lawyer laughed gent
ly, do you think it's gooda Well, L
suppose it is, It doesn't fatter any
how,
4" .Flatter?' the creditor said; 'it is
the very living representation of you,
By the way, Mr.. R, called in on q
little business, but that splendid bust
drove it out of my head-about that
little bill, you know. If it's perfectly
convenient and won't incommode you,
should like to have the money
"'Why, certainly said the LAWYER.
with a gracious air, and forth. With he
produced his pocketbook ard paid the
amount.
''As the creditor was quitting the
office, he paused. With the door in his
hand. and, loot<mg back, said:
"'You dCn't suppose I'm such a
blank hlar lied fool as to suppose that
bust ws.s ever intended for you. It's
no more like you than it's like Mel
h'.zedek."

The Hats Our Fathers Wore.

The fashion in head gear for men
and boys has undergone great change
during the last thirty years. Now caps
of cloth are rarely seen except on men
in uniform or on foreign arrivals, and
the silk hat is affected only by staid
citizens of middle or mature age. The
felt hat has usurped the place of both
these head coverings for young and
old, except when some state occasion
demands the traditional ''stovepipe;'
and there are few wearers of these who
know their composition, Once, when
the 'sbeaver" hat was actually q beaver
skin fashioned into Il hat, the name
was appropriate. Subsequent improve
ments reduced the price of "beayers"
by changing the material, which became
beaver fur-sometimes cheaper fur
attached by glue or cement to hat
body of felt. Still later the fur was
replaced by silk plush, glued on to~a
felt form or body. But of late years
even the felt body has been discarded
for one of coarse muslin or canvas,
stepped in the same stiffening liquor
used on the felt body-shellac dissolved
in alcohol-and receiving the outer
covering of silk plush by the melting
Of the LAG glue BY means Of hot iron,
