Davy Crockett was good sort of man
to lot alone. and most jokers learned to
treat him that way, after few costly
experiments. The following old anec-
dote is good enough to repeat-to pre-.
vent its being forgotten.
Whom Crockett was in Washington he
was one day In hotel, when Senator
from Massachusetts, entered.
. Approaching the old frontiersman, the
latter said: "Crockett, large body Of
your constituents are marching up the
street; you ought to go out to greet
them." VI .s.zs.,
Crockett harriedly arose and went ont
upon the hotel-steps, whom q drove Of
mules caught his eye. He quietly
watched them until the last one had
passed, and then returned to his seat by
the stove. The Massachusetts, Senator
was still there, and as the redoubtable
Davy dropped into his chair, asked
"Well, did You see your friends!"
''Oh, yes" was the response. They
are looking remarkably well, too"
ibid you ascertain their destination
certainly"
"And where are they going to In such
a solid body!"
Crockett turned to the Senator with q
quiet, calm expression, and replied:
They're going down to Massachu-
setts to teach school"

Aimed at the Brakeman.

No, my son, that gentleman 10 the
azure clothing and gilt buttons is not a
naval oficer He il . gentleman Of
leisure. of no profession. and without
any occupation. He spends his time
on the cars, because he can there best
serve his fellows. He is always doing
some good net. At one moment he is
locking the stove door to prevent the
fire from going out; at another he
is turning down the lights. to pre-
vent the passengers from reading
and thereby injuning thar eye sighf,
and at the same time furnishing to all
that rich perfume which the partial con.
sumption of kerosene oil always affords;
and anon he is playfully mystifying his
fellow mortA!s by calling out the names
of stations in Language tnintslligibls and
unknown; but his principal and pleas
antest labor is TO assist young lAdies off
the cars. II Il estimated by statisticians
that the average brakeman squeezes the
arms Of 4,79s, ,34l young ladies per
annum. II is very pleasant to be a
brakeman, but only the sons OF mil.
lionaires can afford to aspire to the posi-
ton. - Boston transcript.

! .ric dogs, living on the prairie, far
away from any river or stream, obtain
their water. Mr.. F. Leech, frontiers.
man OF experience, asserts that the dogs
dig their own wells, each village having
one with concealcd opening. He knows
Of one such well 200 feet deep, and hav-
ing circular staircase leading down to
the wster. Every time dog wants to
drink he descsnds the staircase, which,
considefing the distance, Is no mean
task. Il digging for water the animals
