Laughing Jim's Little Joke.

Many years ago there lived in
Putnam one James Dismukes, called
Laughing JIM" He was fond of
his dram, and when under the in
fuence was very noisy. On one &C.
casion, when the superior court was
in session, he went into the court
room, created a good deal of disturb
ance, and, as he could not be kept
quiet, the Judge ordered the sheriff to
take him to jail and lock him up.
When the sheriff arrived at the jail
with him he unlocked the door and
ordered him to enter the cell. Dis
mukes pretended to be afraid to 90
In first, and asked the sheriff to lead
the way. The sheriff did so. As
soon as he entered the cell Dismukes
closed the door, locked it,
took the key with him, and returned
in great glee to the court room, and
getting on top of a box, he addressed
the court, and said: "Your honor,
here is the key to the jail, and when
you want your sheriff you will find
him locked in jail. This brought

The Way Lincoln Won.

4aS w ~ zkhSSAh ILL.,
Denver Tribune: An amusing in
cident in the unwritten history Of
Abraham Lincoln is told by the Hon
Ward 81. Lamon,' of this city.
While the gentlemen were Law
partners in Illinois, and before Lin
coin was thought of for president Of
the United States, they happened tc
visit an agricultural fair in an inlan d
town of Tennessee.
Lincoln was in high spirits and
seemed bent on fun. While casting
about for such amusement as the ex-
hibition afforded, Lincoln discovered
an attraction in the shape of turned
down -four barrel containing a
badger.
Fifty dollars for a dog that will
haul the badger out of the barrel,
shouted the red faced man who
owned the outfit. Fifty dollars, l
say to the dog that can haul out tie
badger.
They were a few takers of the badg-
er mans offer, but the luckless dog
owners who invested twenty-five
cents in the experiment invariably
lost in the speculation, for the badg-
er's teeth were sharp, and every dog
that entered its stronghold came out
in a jitfy, while the ferocious animal
inside held the fort and grinned all
over.
Mr.. Lincoln hit upon a happy
thought. Taking Ward to one side
they found a lank countryman with
a still tanker mastiff.
Want to make $50 with that dog?
asked Lincoln.
Course [ do, replied the hayseed.
The dog was bartered for, and as
Lincoln approached the badger man,
elbowing his way through the crowd,
he said:
I'll invest quarter in your game,
sir.
The badger operator looked at
Lincoln's hungry dog and smiled as
he took the silver quarter.
Lincoln caught the dog and led it
up to the barrel. Hastily grabbing
the mastiff, he threw it into the OPEN
ing tother end first. There was a
pause only of a second, and then fol-
lowed lively scrape inside the bar
rel.
Hold On, there, cried the manager.
Fair play
But he was too late with his remon-
STRANGE. Out sprang the badly fright
ened dog with the badger sticking to
his headquarters. The crowd parted
and away went the dog and badger
into the inner field of the race track
The badger stuck like a brother,
teams ran away, women tainted, and
the crowd reared. Lincoln fairly
went into spasms of mirth the fun was
so enjoyable.
The countryman owning the dog
was paralyzed, as was the badger
o"nsr, WHO set up q great hoWl ana
was mad enough to fight.
Produce your $50, said Lincoln to
the badger keeper.
Foul play, foul play. cried the
chagrinned gamester, and I'll never
pay it.
Here is where Lamon came in
serviceable: Catching the badgers
friend by the neck, he cried:
Give up the $50 or I'll wallup you.
Lannon's herculean proportions were
too argumentary to be trified with, and
the money was handed to Mr..
Lincoln, who in turn gave it to the
ccuntryman.
The dog was well paid for, and the
badger business closed up for want of
q hadpor

The Chinaman Warns q Piece
of Ice.

New York World.
A funny incident occurred at Pas
sale. There are several Chinese
mangling establishments il the place
where the bias-eyed sons of sOapsuds
convert miniature button-holes into
coal-scuttle proportions and swell
their peripheries to such dimensions
that the citizens are compelled to
toss up cent before deciding which
hole to crawl through when they wish
to dress up. One of the local Wun
Lungs recently imported banjo
featured assistant from the Flowery
kingdom. In pure Chinese his name
sounds like section of barbed wire
fence. His clothes fit him like a
sentry.box and, as is usual with the
delegate from Ratland, he wears his
overalls under his shirt and dresses
otherwise insi lie out. He evidently
hadn't been in the country more than
day or so when somebody put salt
on his pigtail, trapped him and sent
him to Passaic. While the boss was
around the corner purchasing an
onion for dinner Yum Yum stood in
the door of the soapery, flirting with a
bonnet which somebody across the
street had placed on top of a water
pitcher, and which Yum imagined to
be female sitting by the window.
As the hat nodded in the breeze Yum
bowed and then the corners of his
mouth shook hands with his ears and
sauntered around to where his hair
was cut long.
"D'yez want any ice this mornin' ?"
asked the ice man as he drove up.
"Allee same" chuckled Yum until
he resembled chicken with the pip.
The man placed the ice on the side
walk and Yum grabbed it. Then he
laid it down without anybody telling
him to and put both hands up to his
shout iers in his mouth sn1 danced.
xxi vi, nuchy wetty hottee," be
calculated and he ran inside, came out
with shirt wrapped the ice up in it,
and then disappeared inside again.
Two minutes later the room was full
of smoking aud Kissing steam, and
when Wun Lung came around the
corner with his MONDAY feast in his
hand there was crowd in front of the
door and several persons had started
off to notify the firemen.
Wun Lung dashed through the
smoke and found his fresh assistant
hanging out of the back window. He
was almost sufocated.
Vase mattel he asked.
Man leavee Melical fi:-clackel. He
60 off, hoong!
WHEEL puttee? asked Wun.
Stovee. gasped Yum.
ALI samee blank foolee, yelled
Wun.
Alice wettee. Puttee in stove, di.
Go Office, boong
There was danger of confagration
for few minutes, but it was averted,
and as Yum took the next train for
the city he said:
Funny dy-clsckel, cookee all upee,
boong! All wetsee. Yum dice. Stove
swettee, boong! And he hid himself
in his pockets and left for New York.
