The Editors Condition Described.

A. clerical looking gentleman entered an
Austin newspaper Office one day lately, and
drawing out concealed document, said to
the editor:
81 am soliciting for high toned gentle
man of refinement and intelligence. He is
| sadly in need of money, but he is too proud
to let the public know il"
"You don't say so !" said the editor, with
animation.
81 am hopeful of securing quite hand
some little sum-"
"You say this unfortunate man is very in
teligent, highly cultivated, and all that sort
ofthingP"
THAT'S just the kind ofman he is"
"And too proud to beg"
The visitor nodded.
"My dear friend, appreciate your delicacy
You have described my condition precisely,
but had no idea had enlisted your sympa-
thy so strongly that you would take up q
collection. It's all right. just as soon as you
get $40 or $15 together, bring tito me, and
| will give you receipt for it. God bless you,
my noble friend" and he gently pushed the
visitor who expected TO tap the editor for 81,
out Into the street, where he, after gazing
around in dazed sort of way, kept on In
his mission of mercy.
"One good turn deserves another" remark
ell the editor, as he resumed his seat. THAT
man came to help me out, and Ihelped him
out"

Willie the American army was in camp at

that the colored soldiers could not be de.
pended upon as sentries. lie determined to
ascertain the truth or falsty of the report by
personal investigation. So one night
when the password was Cambridge" he
went outside the camp, put on an overcoat,
and then approached colored sentinel.
"Who goes dar ?" cried the sentinel.
"a friend"
Friend, advance unarmed and give the
countersign," said the colored man.
Washington came up and said: "Rox-
bury"
mo, sah," was the response.
"Medford," said Washington.
No, sab" returned the colored soldier.
"Charlestown," said Washington.
The coored man Immediately exclaimed ::

President Tyler and his Witty Coach.
man,

A Washington letter recalls story told of
John Tyler, who it will be remembered, got
to the White House through the death of
President Harrison: Tyler was very fond
OF fine turnout, but his pocket was not
deep enough to correspond with his tastes
One day one of the leading members of the
diplomatic circle was recalled from Washing
ton, and his magnificent establishment had to
be sold. An important part of this was lis
carriage, which was at the time the finest by
all odds in Washington. Tyler had looked
at it many times with longing eyes as its
owner had driven it up and down Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and as it had stood now and
then in front ofthe White House. He feared
however, the criticism which was sure to at.
tend the buying of anything by the President
at auction, and called his coachman, with
whom he was familiar. to advise with him
in regard to it. The coachman liked the car
riage and was anxious that MIR. Tyler should
buy it. But Pat" said Tyler, "what will
the world say at the Presidents riding in q
secondhand carriage?" "Och your honor"
was the reply they will say nothing about it
at all at all. You know you are but second
hand President, any way, and it seems to me
nothing could be more fit" Whether the
President bought the carriage or not the re-
ports fail TO state.

How to Dress WarmIy-

A person with much less weight or costli-
ness OF clothes-provided he or she was
dressed correctly for the cold-could face the
still, frosty air without either red face or be-
numbed hands, and yet neither be dressed in
fur, carry muff, nor wear veil. 1t is so
important to know where to put the warmth
of clothes, that suggestion just here may
save some suffering especially among chill
dren. There are three outposts of the body
that need to be guarded from the cold. These
are the knees, the wrists and the neck, well
up TO the ears. If these are thickly and
warmly covered, the rest of the clothing does
most important of all to be projected are the
knees, and especially for the very young and
elderly. 1t is astonishing what comfort is
given by those knitted knee caps that fit
into the stockings, which can lie drawn over
them if preferred.
