MY IDEA of a thoroughly happy man
Is a clerk in a railway Office. He gets
his money in cash every month, and is
not asked TO take orders; he does not
get around in the morning until nine
O'Clock; he g to dinner at eleven, and
does not come back until it is time to go
10 supper, and there is always a porter
in the building whose business is to
shine his boots, and dust his coat. A
clerk in a railway Office when he has
more work assigned him than he can
do in an hour. gets leave to employ a
stenographer, whereupon he gets a
leave of absence for three months. and
then gets it extended for about a year,
during which time he gets his steno.
grapher to forward his checks. and he
greatly enjoys himself among his kin in
the East. Occasionally a clerk in
s railroad Office becomes ambi-
tious, and studies law or medicine in
connection with his duties. but not
often; they have too good a thing, for
they never build fires in the morning.
or sWe ep out. The superintendent of a
railroad once told me that as be lay in
bed, and heard the seven o'clock whistle
blow. he greatly pitied the poor clerks
who had to go to work at that cold,
gloomy. cheerlessshour, but ifthe super
intendent does not ger down 10 his
office before tsn o'clock, you can safely
bet that clerks do not get around until

DURING A panic many years ago there
was a severe run on a country bank in
Wales, and ruin was impending, when
the manager in his desperation hit on a
stratagem. By his direction some SOW
ereigns were heated in frying-pan and
the teller paid them over the counter to
a frightened depositQr." = Why, they
are hot!' said the latter. ''Of course -
was the reply: "they are only just out
of the mold. We are coming them as
fast as we can" Coming them p
thought the farmers, then there IS no
fear of the money running short.
Their confidence revived, the panic
abated, and the bank weathered the
storm.

TIE COUNTERPART of mugwump has
been discovered, and turns out to be
"tugwump." The Prescott Courier
discovered this word at great expense
of time and money, and sends it to the
world as the definition of an officer of
the government opposed to the party
in power, who refuses to resign and get
out of the way of the party that is en-
titled to hold the Office to which he, the
'tugwump,n holds on with death-like
grasp. The tugwumpis still numerous.
