now in New York, and writes to his
journal some amusing things. In
speaking of the Cooper Free Library
in that city, the editor mixes some
pleasant humor with good deal Of
truth; and this is what be says -
THAT great aud good old man, Peter
Cooper. was particularly anxious that
the poorer class ofNew Y orkers should
know what was going on. Ii the
second story of the large Cooper
Building, which he presented to the
city of New York, is an enormous
room devoted entirely to newspapers
and books, and accessible to the pub
lie. There is only one entrance, ard
in front of it sits a boy at desk, who
hands you gutta percha check about
the size of a dollar and a quarter,
which you return to him when you
emerge; the advantage or utility of
which check system is not apparent
to the ordinary intellect The room
is filed with stands and tables ON
which are all the principal American
and foreign newspapers and periodi-
GALS The walls are lined with shell
yes filed with books.
I'm Summer the reading room is
not very well patronized, but in Win
ter there are hundreds of persons
seeking for knowledge The reasons
why there is greater thirst for litera-
ture in Winter than in Summer is
owing to the climate, and the high
price of coal The reading room is
nice and warm, aud there seems to
be a large class of people who put off
all their reading until cold weather
sets in. They have been out in the
cold so long that they usually prefer
to improve their minds by reading
those journals nearest the heaters, no
matter in what language they are
printed. Old Peter Cooper did not
intend to establish lodging house
for tramps, so a stalwart policemen
goes around and separates the sheep
from the goats.
"a placard is put up to the effect
that frequent visitors must obtain
permanent card from the clerk, who,
before issuing it, requires reference
The victim of adverse circumstances
whose hair sticks out through the top
of his hat, and whose garments cry
aloud for repairs, is not likely to ep.
ply for a card of admission, hencs
when he undertakes to store his mind
with useful knowledge from foreign
magazine near the heater, notwith-
standing the fact that it is free IL
brary, the policeman marches him out
as if he was malefactor. I don't
wonder that the tramps go South ia
Winter, for the police here make it
too hot for them during the cold sea.

: hey Jumped at the Chance

A friend repeated to me rather
good story, which it seems was wont
to be stand by Of Justice Porter, the
welI-known legal bon rivant of Dub
lin.
IL was about rare old Irish judge
on the north east circuit, who loved
the hunting field vastly more than he
did the stupid, sleepy court room.
HIS clerk was like minded, and to-
gether they made a joy Gus pair
One fine morning, the clerk whis-
pered To the Judge;
Eyer Honor, old Billy Duane's
meet is to day at Ballykilmuligan, an
they have got q fine dog fox
"How many's in the docket" ask ed
the judge, excitedly.
"Twenty, for rioting and breach OF
tho peace, yer honor
"TIm,' said the judge, do you
think you could get the first fellow to
plead guilty and mo let him OFT with
week in jailf'
The easiest thing in the world" an
swered the faithful clerk.
Make haste, then, and bring in the
whole gang--and l say Tim, tell Jerry
to saddle the gray mare, MEANWHILE
The twenty Fenians were brought
into court, defiant gang-nineteen OF
them prepared to fight counsel and
jury To the bitter end.
The twentieth had been Interviewed
by the clerk.
He was called off by the clerk.
Guilty or not guilty Of the crimes
charged?" demanded the judge with
propitious smile.
"Guilty, your honor, God help me-"
SAID the crafty prisoner.
Well,' said the Judge, glancing
benevolently around the room, Il
fancy I can let you off with week
The man thanked the judge and
stepped down to the bailiH.
There was a terrific sensation among
the other offenders. Why, none of
them expected to get off with less than
five years in limbo.
Here is chance TO profit by his
honor's pleasant mood. One and all
manifested an earnest desire to follow
the example of their conrad, and ac-
knowledge their crimes in batch.
Do you all of you plead guilty ~
demanded the Judge, eagerly.
We do" shouted the enthusiastic
nineteen, in chorus.
Fourteen years transportation for
each of you,' exclaimed the judge
with click of his jaw-"jerry is that
mare saddlcd yet?'

Pra ctfcfng Before the Supreme COur

PEA cttcfng Before the supreme Court
Here is legal anecdote told by the
Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Louder.
"a young lawyer friend OF mine
from Chicago, about to be admitted to
so aIFeae lotI., $500 esd
David Davis for his advice in regard
to his conduct on The occasion Of his
first case The JUDGE replied:
"1 Gu nced not pe AFRAID Ia speak
before The Supreme Court, and If one
of those buffers in toga interrupts
you in the midst of an argument by
some irrelevant question, don't get
frightened and spoil your argument by
stopping to answer him just say
quietly; Excuse me, your Honor.
but will reach that by and by and
if you don't reach it, 1t won't matter,
You need not be afraid that YOU will
be called up to answer it after you
have taken your seat
The young man took his advice and
gained his Case"
-------------<Os--------
A VERY slight error in practice will
sometimes result in serious mistake.
This was recently illustrated in pro-.
vincial school, where a pupil who had
been impressed with the force and
value of double letters, such as double
o" in fool, ""double e" IN heel" ETC.,
was called npon to read that touching
poem, exhortatory TO early rising, be.
ginning:
Up, up, Lucy, the sun is In the sky,
Surprise, which soon gave way to
hilarity, was occasioned when the pu.
pill read the line:
Double up, Lucy, the sun is In the sky!
thus giving it sign6cande, by no
means contemplated by the poet.

An Invitation TO sam Jones.

Sam Jores is headed for Chicago,
where he proposes to boil down the laboTs
OF Hercules into one stupendous achieve
ment by converting the town. The Chi
cago News gives him this welcome ana
some advance points: Chicago Is es-
sentially American, and the American is
essentially Yankee. The shaping and
moulding influence in this great CON-
munity is the Yankee inf1uence-broad-
ened, undoubtedly, by experience in this
mighty, busy west, but Yankee still; yes,
Yankee at heart ard in brain and mus
Gle. The Yankee has made Chicago,
and having shaped he will direct Chica-
go's destiny. lie il shrewd and couraS-
eous, and down underneath his sErewd-
ness and courage there is streak Of
Puritanism that is better than all the
rest. For puritanisna in a man is like
ieaven in loaf, and we have no fear for
aim who is streaked with it. So, come
to see us, Sam Jones, and dwell
with us. We're not beyond redemption,
we know, for RAINING clean through the
most of us is that everlasting streak Of
Puritanism the Yankee may at first de
ny. but which he some time learns to
glory in. Our mothers worshipped in
Puritanic faues, and we yenerata their
memory. And we hold this to lie al
eternal truth: That he who remember:

VOLU Me II.



Reporter Dennis in the Indianapolis Journal.
During the past ten years | have Ia
terviewed Mr.. Hendricks many times.
Never but once did he show anger or
lack Of that courtesy which was so char F.
acteristic of the man It WAS then but
brief passing cloud, which, when it
rolled away, left him as bright, genial,
courteous as he had ever been. 1t was
in 1880, and the news had just been re-
ceived that Hancock had been nomin-
ated for the presidency. / Immediately
ran down to Mr.. Hendricks law office in
tho bank building to get an expression OF
opinion from him regarding the man
who had been chosen. Mr.. Hendricks
was very much agitated and his face
was flushed with anger. In manner
that to him was rude ard tenlpestuous,
because so foreign to his calm demeanor
he exclaimed: "You cirtainly do not
want to interview me, sir; You can not
want any expression from me on tins
occasion?"
He walked up and down the room
three or four times, and then, relaxing
into graciousness, asked the reporter
what in the world he expected in the
way of an interview. Then, appreciat-
ing the fact, perhaps that his agitation
at the reception of the news might be
made to appear ridiculous in an opposi-
ton paper, he stopped short and waited
the onset of the interviewer.
Informing Mr.. Hendricks that / in-
tended 10 make mole ouly Of what he
said, and that I would write at his die
tation only what he did say and without
comment. he was again quite benignant.
But the eight or ten lines Of dictation
was neither a congenial nor an easy task,
even for his ready mind and the smooth
approbative nothings had to be written
and rewritten nearly half a dozen
times before they passed muster and
were hurried away to be manipulated iii
cold types.
There was 10 dwelling Of an Indiana
public man SO easy of ingress TO re-
porter as the plain, old-fasiioncd house
OF Gov. Hendricks 1t lest none of It's
old-fashioned comforts and cordially
when the owner of the house became
Vice President / think / have, upon
various visits, been in nearly every room
in it, except the kitchen, and have inter
viewed Mr. Hendricks all over the house,
He was ever the same. whether above
stairs or below. Mrs. Hendricks pres
ence during these interviews and she
was nearly always present-made nc
difference to the interviewer, she seemed
SO naturally part Of the affair. She
frequently facilitated the reporters
work, as pleasant and apt word here
and there helped the reporter on witt
his questions, or amplified what nigh
have been a mere terse reply on tht
part Of Mr.. Hendricks.
