He Was Not Proud.

Two gentlemen were waiting to
order their dinner in an Austin rcstau-
ant.
Gust look at that waiter how he
throws his head back and turns up
his nose. llc must be very proud,
said one Of the gcntlcmcn:
ooh, no he is not proud. You no
tice he is carrying All omclcttc and
some fish to the gentleman in the
corner"
"The eggs that the omclettc is made
of were probably not very fresh, or
perhaps its the fish that smells badly,
or perhaps both, and that causes tn,
waiter to throw his head back, so he
will avoid the smrh. | know that
waiter personally. He is very clevul
fellow, and is not stuck up in the least
There is not particle Of pride about
him"
"Well then we won't order any eggs
or fish at this establishment"

Keeping eDGOnlcers.

An instance of how successfully
cunning may evadc the officers Of JUS
tice is exemplifed in the case of an old
darkey at New Orleans recently who
had committed some sort of offence,
and was in hourly expectation OF a
visit from the police.
To prevent this, he procured Il yellow
flag and hung it out at his door.
SMALLPOX" in the house was an eff
fectual preventive of any intrusive
visits. Weeks went by and still the
yellow flag futtered from the door
post. The officers grew impatient
and at last one more adventurous
than the rest knocked at the door.
"Who dar?"
"Ofiicers Open, in the name Of the
law"
"Golly, boss, got de smallpox"
"That won't do. You were seenup
on the street last night"
ayes, ] know, boss but l has him IN
dc day time"
~ don't believe it, and am coming
in"
Better stay out, boss! cotch thu
smallpox shore"
The officer persisted in coming in
and the old fox was caught in his lair
looking sleek and marvelously well
With broad grin on his face, he sa
luted the officer with the rcmak:
"You didn't eotch de smallpox, boss
but you cotch me-"
1t isneedless to say that the yelloV
flag was taken down.

David Davis ON Roller Skates.

1t is alleged that David Davis visited
a roller skating rink at Bloomington
and became so enthusiastic that he
insisted on putting on pair OF skates.
Before the proprietor would permit
him to go on the floor he pasted the
following notice: "Children must not
approach within seven feet OF the SON
ator. The proprietor will not be res
ponsiblo for accidents" Mr. Davis
complains of the loneliness of his
situation after being showed out into
the room on his rollers. AElrge num-
Der OF windows and crockery about
town were smashed in just five minu-
ties after the senator started out to
skate. Some people can't sit down
suddenly without making a fuss OF
some kind.

"That may be, but there is another
great objection.
"What is it.

How sleep the brave who sink 10 rest,
BY all their country's wishes blessed;
When Spring, with dcwy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She there shall dress sweeter sod
Than faney's feet have ever trod.
BY fairy hands their kneel is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
Their honor comes, pilgrim gray,
TO bless the turf that wraps their clay.
And Freedom shall while repair
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
