Congressman Lawler's Lobsters.

The Indianapolis Journal tells this story: When Congressman Lawler, of Chicago, made his first visit to New York some years ago, a friend invited him to Q restaurant, where they called for soIt-shell crabs. Lawler had never seen any before, and did not know what they were. He liked them, however,
 and few days afterward, wishing to re- gale himself again with some of the toothsome crustaceans, he hunted up the restaurant, walked in, and sat down nt a table; but he had forgotten the name of the food he desired. Looking over a bill of fare he saw 'lobsters." He called the waiter and said "Waiter, have you any Holsters ?" "Yes;" said the waiter. "Bring me dozen, said Lawler. "A dozen !" exclaimed the waiter, in sur prise. Lawler saw that he had made [ mistake, but he was not going to admii it. "Confound you," he said, "hrinG me a dozen." The table was cleared O
 everything that was on it, and Lawlel pitched in. He ate all hepossibly could, called for glass of water, looked up al
 the waiter, and said "Waiter, l wa not as hungry as l thought l was. How much is the bill2 "Fourteen dollau
 and fifty oents," replied the waiter
 "Why it is not as much as l thought 1
 would be" said Lawler. "Here, yo' needn't mind the change" and handing the waiter Sl5 Mir. Lawler walked out

A Lawyers Story.

Speaking about hats reminds me of an incident that happened several years ago, when was living at fashionable clearinghouse upon Broadway. It was rather high-toned place and contained among its members ss fine lot of young ladies and gentlemen as you would care to meet. Well, one day in midsummer-and it was terribly hot that'day, too-while we were all down at dinner a man entered the hall door, which was standing open and gathered up the hats on the rack in pile-there were about thirty of them, and some fine ones, too-he started down the front steps. Before he reached the sidewalk he met salesman who was little late for dinner, and who asked him what he was doing with all these hats. "Why," said the fellow, ''I'm a hat dealer just around the corner and I'm going to clean these hats while the gentlemen are at dinner" "All right replied the salesman, "take mine along and clean it up, too" What ? Get them again ? Not much. There was the biggest crowd of bareheaded clerks in that house you ever saw. And the one who saw the rascal lugging them all of and helping him, too, by giving him his own hat-well, we nearly l thumped the life out of him.

SOMEBODY'S DUDE.

Into a rink with four bleak walls,
 That blazed with a glare like midday light, Where never shadow of sorrow falls, Somebody's dude strolled in one night; Somebody's dude so young and so white, Wearing upon his innocent face Never a sign of manhood's might, But his scarf-pin showed suspicion of paste. Carefully combed are his raven curls, That lightly lie on his delicate brain, And in his fingers he languidly twirls In ceaseless motion gold-headed cane; Somebody carefully combed his hair; Was it his mother, whose sight now fades ? Was it 8 blushing maiden fair,
 Or barber as black as the ace of spades? There's never a doubt he is somebody's pet; Somebody's heart has enshrined him there ; Maybe the dude has father yet, Or mother who waits at the head of the
 stair;
 Maybe maiden with cheek of rose, Is sadly awaiting the missing link, And there he stands in beautiful pose, In the glamour and glare of the skating rink. But there comes man full of honeyed guile And fastens the cruel skates to his feet, And stands aside with cynical smile, And waits for his head his heels to meet.
 
 Kiss him once for his grandmother's sake; It's doubtful if ever she kisses him more; The skates from his feet so tenderly take, Sweep out the debris and close the door.

Sam Patch's Last Leap.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
 Commercial Gdzette, who describes himself as an eye witness of Sam Patch's last two jumps, writes as follows = ''Sam Patch, the famous cataract leaper,
 who asserted that some things could be done as we'll as others, took his Final,
 eternal and Hfe's fatal leap as local poet expressed it at the time, on gloomy day in November, 1929. He had jumped the Genesee Falls at Rochester, their natural height, one week before, and was induced by the gamblers and roughs who were grooming and man. aging and living off him to repeat the feat on the fatal occasion. They erected a sort of scafold on the iutting rock whence he had taken his departure on the previous occasion, making it 25 feet above the rock, or 120 feet in all from the scaffold floor to the surface of the river at the foot of the falls. Ascending to the scaffold with some difficulty, con siderably inebriated, and by a steer ladder, the unfortunate demonstratol strengthened up with a jerk, bowed awk' wardly on all sides to the witnessing thousands, then pushed pet bear off he had with him, and instantly leaped for ward himself. Hts person 'canted over on the left side, and struck the watel forcibly, no doubt bruising him ana forcing the breath from his body
 Nothing more was seen of him till th' next March. when his corpse was dis
 covered among some bushes at th' mouth of the river, seven miles below very much mutilated, but recognizabl' by handkerchief tied around the body Patch, beginning on the schooner yard arms at Paterson, N. J., was a specia
 leaper for 20 years or more, iumpe' from amazing heights at Niagara thric

Refused to Close the Bank.

A few days ago the Bank of Mitchell,
 Dakota, closed it's doors. The cashier of the White Lake branch of the bank, when ordered to close his bank, refused, and said that he had no funds belonging to the Mitchell Bank, but on the con- trary the Mitchell Bank owed the White Lake branch $11, ,609. He further said that the money belonging to his White Lake depositors could not and should not be swallowed up in the Mitchell Bank failure. On Saturday Judge Wul- fing, attorney for the assignee, went to White Lake to take possession, and was informed that he could not enter the bank. He posted notice that the bank was closed, but Cashier Huyssen and Assistant Cashier Ryan were on deck with their depositors, and tore off the notice and proceeded to open the bank. They posted guards at the entrances, and began paying of their depositors.
 Ryan took the cashiers window, and Huyssen opened the vault and began pulling out the money and collaterals, whereupon Judge Wulfng leaped over the counter and ordered halt Ryan informed the crowd that tresspasser was inside the gate, and no sooner were the words uttered than the attorney was pitched over the counter and out into \ the street. .##- t' ,. Mir. Huyssen continued to settle with the depositors until the last ono was paid in full. He then locked the bank, and is carrying the key in bis pocket.

HOW BOSTON TREATS TRAMPS
Shampoo, n Bath, Clean NiEhtshirt, Bed, and n Little Work In Return.

At the session of the Conference of Charities and Corrections in Washing ton an interesting paper, prepared by Thomas F. Ring, one of the Overseers of the Poor in Boston, describing the operations of the Wayfarers' Lodge, of that city, was read. This institution was established for the purpose of re. ceiving homeless men who had previous ly been lodged only in the station houses, leaving the latter to be used only for the safekeeping of offenders. Applicants for lodgings were required to apply to the nearest police station for cards of ad. mission, and such applicants as were in- toxicated or noisy were detained at Police Headquarters. Lodgers were re- ceived between seven and ten o'clock, when the doors were locked Each lodger was required to take a warm bath and Q shampoo before going to bed, and was furnished with a oom- fortable nightshirt to sleep in. If his clothes were troublesome" they were bundled into steamer boiler at pres sure of sixty pounds, where they re- mained for two hours, and were then dried out. At six o'clock in winter and earlier in summer the lodgers were called, and were required to do a cer- tain amount of work in the woodward before breakfast Usually by nine o'clock the lodgers were all gone away. The lodge was established in 1879, and the experience of six years had estab- Ished the fact that a vast majority of the poor men who came asking for food and shelter were worthy of being encouraged and helped. They had been docile and tractable, and coming footsore and weary they had accepted in quiet gratitude the bath and clean bed; they had performed their work willingly, and in so doing had felt that no charity had been in- ficted upon them. Up to April 30, 1885, 125,084 lodgings and 257, ,94C meals had been given, while in not more than two or three cases had 1t been necessary to bring lodgers before the courts for refusing to work, for destroy. ing the tools, or for assaulhng em. ployees. The cost of operating the establishment is not far from S10, 900 e year, which is reduced by profit of be, tween $3, 900 and s4, 900 from the wood. yard. ..... .....
 Adelegate from Indianapolis described the Friendly Inn, of that city, modelled after the Boston institution, which made an annual profit from the woodward over all expenses of about $500.

Even in Furniture.

The Furniture Trade RevietO says: The color and figure of mahogany are distinctive, and hardly any two legs are alike. Yet the purchaser who enters furniture wareroom of to-day finds all the mahogany chamber sets and many of the parlor suits, the tables, the book cases, and bric-a- brac of house furnish ing very much of the same shade. It is simply red paint or red stains, and the wood used is sometimes cherry, often times birch and gum wood. A short experience reveals the deception. Some years ago piano manufacturers bought the handsomest figured rosewood they could buy for piano cases, but a vitiated public taste demanding darker wood than rosewood, staining came into user so that many of the cheaper piano cases of to-day are nothing but maple stained The value of rosewood lies in it's figure and color, and these are ever varying.
