CHOICE LUMBER.
The Old Circus. Ridsr's Unooneeious
Speculation In Boz
Otalla

New York Sun.
sThe funniest thing ever beard Of In The
wsy Of wood speculation" aid Charlie
6tow, ths famous circus agent, awas the story
Of Jim Robinsous boz stalls i'm had 70
take four trainel hosses from . II tie port In
the West Indies 70 Marseilles. Francs. and
bad b have some box stalls built on the ves-
rel. He had great difficulty IN finding lun,.
Der, but at last local merchant said: !
have little lumber ON hand, AMI will zee TO
four box stalls b-ing built on bnard for you
ct No higher cost than the simple value OF
the lumber and work Of construction
"Wben the stalls were built Robinson was
much plsased, although hs could not sse any
particular Necessity for making them Of such
very large and thick timbers and boards But
when he went To ray the bill AMI heard that
the actual ,smt of tn. lumb " and wo'k
amounte TO 500, he was astounded. He was
too much of = gentleman to kick ur complain,
and be paid the bill. Tut went away feeling
that an advantage hal been taken Of HIM.
Just a. the vessel reached Mar>e'iles, her
steward approached Robinson and SAID 10
him:
81 YOU d like To buy OF yor = ~ box
stalls zat you have Oh board
what will you Civ. Tor themF Robinson
asked, indiifereitly. won leiing wat any
body wanted 10 buy second hand stalls Tor IN
. country where lumber must be plentiful
81 viii give 5000 francs, sal the French
man"
Robinson looked n him In amazement,
but promptly coming 10 the conclusion that
anybudy who would offer SAN for four old
box stalls must b- a lunatic, and that he
didn't want To rob a crazy man, repliel:
We'll, III think about II and let you know
later, and walked ofy. lie went up town to
s,e about s,ablIng, al 4 xben he got back to
the vessel was met by Q man who said H.
him:
~ understand that you have four horse
stalls oi board ,heref
ayes
ado you want 70 sell themf
-.No objections
.Iwill give YOU s,VoJ francs for Them
Jim fairly jum,~.i with astonishment,
but, thinking that he hal struck an ,tner
maniac, went abari without taking any
further notice OF III. man. The stewart
tackled him again as soon as he reached the
deck with another otfr of 3.,5J francs, and
jim Jus, had paii me-. enough To- tell hun that
somrlyhy hal already seen that bid aud
gone better. when the eapta n OF tho vessel
stepped rip ami offered him 5UD francs for
his stalls. aud lriei to C inch the bargain 10y
a threat If jim tried /, take them away. jim

Anecd6fe of siIas Wright.


Silas Wright before he became in
temperate, was great wag. On one
occasion he was member of the state
senate of New York with Gen. Erastus
Root. Gen. Root was fold of personal
display in his dress, One morning he
came to the senate with buff brooches,
whi'e silk stockings, knee and shoe
buckles. Gov. Wright bet bottle of
wine that he could make the general go
home and take off tie breaches, and put
on plain pantaloons without speaking to
him on the subject. 1t seemed to be a
very fearful risk-but to the sequel.
The governor stepped up to the general,
and taking him kindly by the hand,
said: "Good morning, general then,
turning his eyes upon the buff breeches,
and looking them over for a minute.
"How do you do ?" then, re-examing the
breeches with quizzieal look, paying
no attention to what the governor said,
but continuing his remark, now word,
then look at the breeches. The gen.
eral at length left abruptly, was absent
some minutes, and returned dressed in
plain pair of black pantaloons. The
wine was drunk with hearty laugh, in

'The older order changeth, yielding place

To Scare Book Agen t..
r~ar Fs,s

A Long Island doctor has skeleton
hanging in closet in his Office, and
when book agent comes in he touches
a button near his desk, the door of the
closet flies open with bang, and the
unwelcome solicitor finds at his elbow
the rattling, loose-iointed, musty re-
mains of human being" If the Long
Island book agent is fr ghtened at such
sight, lie is no honor to the western
members of his craft. One of the
latter wonld probably undertake to
prove to the doctor that the late owner
of the skele ton would have been o well
and happy man to-day if he had only
subscribed to his historical and literary

MARTINEZ & Co.: GentlemenI am much
gratified with the action of your Life Es-
sence. l am suffering greatly with gun
shot wounds and broken hip; in fact,
am an epitome of injuries. With this
there is great deal of nervous irritability,
not taltogetnercalculated to make home hap
py. | am also troubled with sleepessnes
and loss of appetite, or rather was until
commenced taking the Life Essence, since
which time, when take it, sleep better
than for years, have better appetite, and
am not troubled with palpitation. My
sexual system is entirely restored, and
consequently have lost my melancholy,
moroseness, and suicidal tendency, and
feel return of mental and physical force
and strength that | never anticipated.
Yours very truly,
ANTON HARDIs, M. ID.
