His Honor.
Merchant Traveller.

In a certain city, 'nameless here
forevermore, his honor, the mayor,
was not held in the Hottest esteem by
various persons, who were thorough
~ conversant with the methods of
conducting either private or public
business. One day, one of these came
into the private secretary's office.
Good morning." he said to that
suburb of the city's chief. Il want
a ticket to st. Louis, for a needy per-
SON."
Il can't give it to you, SIR" he
replied officiously, but not officially.
Why isn't this the mayors office.
and don't such ticket come from
here2'
"Of course, but the mayor attends
to that himself, and you will have to
see his honor"
His honor, eh2" repeated the visitor
inquiringly
Yes, sir"
Have you got a microtcope in the
Office ! could use?"
The 2. S. was about to make an ex-
animation, when the state of the case
struck him, and he called for the po-
lice.

He Used to Lift Cider.
Peck's Sun.

At Springfield, New York, q man
tried to lift barrel of cider on a
wagon, and broke his back. Now how
much better it would have been, if
ne had tried to lift the barrel on his
back and broken the wagon, but soma
men never learn till it's everlastingly
too late. The writer has not had oc-
casion to lift any cider of late years,
but in days gone by when Ae was a
strong healty boy, his parents kept a
large barrel of cider IN the cellar. and
nearly every day he would try his
strength in lifting that cider. He
tried several methods, but the easiest
and most satisfactory way was through
a straw. In that way he avoided III
juring his back, but later on his ia
Their also had occasion to try bis
strength on the cider barrel, and while
exercising noticed that the apple juice
was not as numerous as it should be,
He decided to watch the barrel, ano
hid behind a refrigerator. He hadn't
long to wait, for presently his worthy
son came tripping gaily down the
steps and after adjusting his straw be.
gan to nurse the barrel. It was then
that the boys back had very narrow
escape. His father let drive with q
number ten brogan, and for q moment
the widest kind Of excitement pres
vailed. For over week the boy
could only sit on the softest of cush-
ions, and from that day to this he has
never taken q drink Of cider without
grabbing his back shuddering.

A GAMBLERS FIND.
How 'Dealer', Felt on Picking Up
aSI,0OO Bill.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Talking about finding money"

time?"
mo; but tell it anyhow"
1T was IN Washington. Dee See.
The occasion was the inauguration of
Grant, and there were 200, 900 people
IN the streets. [ saw small green
thing lying on the pavement, and
something prompted me to pick it up.
After picking the green thing up |
thought it was patent medicine ad-
vertlsement, and was on the point of
throwing it away, but I wasn't very
busy just then, so [ unrolled it, and
when saw it was a $1,000 bill | was
scared to death. [ was dealing bank
then, and didn't know what to do
with the find, because I couldn't take
up any excuse for the possession Of
so much OF the filthy. The main guy
would swear that [ was holding out
on him, and there would be the devil
to pay; and you bet it would take the
whole of the 81, 900 to pay him. So l
took tho bill to my boarding house
and tucked it between the covering of
my trunk and the outside. | looked
at the paper for several days, but
couldn't see any advertisement for a
lost 81, 900 bill. I didn't dare get it
changed in Washington because it
would soon be nolsed around that I
had a big roll, and the snap would be
given away. Each day [ would
reconnoiter around the old trunk
to see if the bill was safe, and
I'd change her from place to place.
The fact that the loss was not adver>
tised led me to suspect that the bloom
ing bill might be counterfeit, and I
was IN terrible stew. But | held on
to it. One day I went over to New
York and took the bill with me. At
last [ screwed up my courage to slap
the bill down ca the counter Of bank,
and asked to have it changed. The
dealer, Or rather cashier, grabbed it
up and sQuinted all over both sides of
it, and I imagined everybody ia the
world was looking at me- Mind you,
this was three months after found
the bill. After cycling the bill for
few seconds the cashier laid it aside,
and I didn't know whether he was
going to set the dog on me or what !;
but he clinched on to a fistful Of $50
bills and counted out twenty of them,
which he handed to me. So that was
all right. Well, I felt pretty gay,
and J. went down to Sandy Hook, and
from there to Long Branch, and back
to New York, over to Philadelp hia,
and once more to Washington. That
night played faro and got broke"

FATAL FLAMES.
They Destroy the Lives of Three chill
dren and their Father in Iowa.

A dispatch from Anamasa, Iowa.
says: At WaUbeck, a town off the
railroad fifteen miles northwest of
Anamosa, the family of Joseph Fish
er, {. prominent farmer, went to bed
as usual IN the second story of their
house, last night. About midnight
Mr.. Fisher was aroused by the crack
ling and glare of flames, which were
eating their way through the lower
portion of the house and enveloping
the stairway. Taking al infant child
from his Wife's arms he attempted to
descend the stairway with it, but was
driven back by the fire and smoke. A
second effort also failed, then he at
tempted to cross g small corridor
and enter the room where the other
two children slept, to rouse them, but
was suddenly overpoWered by the
smoke, and fell to the floor with the
child in his arms and utterly uncons-
cious. His wife endeavored to wake
him from this deadly stupor, but it
was in vain. With the energy of des-
pair the wife burst into the room
where the children were sleeping, in
tending TO throw a feather bed out
upon the ground and drop the child
rem upon it. She was also overcome
by the heat and smoke, and when
her senses returned she found herself
lying upon the ground near the smold
ering ruins of her home, bereft of
husband and children. The charred
remains of Mr.. Fisher and the infant
child have been found in the ruins
but no trace of the bodies of the 9TH
er two children has been discovered.
the disaster is said to have originated
in stovepipe, which passed through
awooden partition between the kitch>
en- and the main building.
One of the children was girl of 7
years and another a boy of 10.

"It isn't true, is it," asked Rollo, as
he finished reading ''The Pied Piper
of Hamelin;' cit isn't true that he
could play on his pipe SO that the rats
would go off and drown themselves"
swell" replied Rollo's father, IT
don't know about that. ] think it may
be true. Your uncle George can play
the flute SO that it will scare cow
into the river and drive all the dogs
in the precinct bowling crazy. Yes,
I guess the poem is true" And Rollo's
uncle George was so mad he couldn't
see, and he held his paper straight in
front of him and read clear through
one of Sam Jones' sermons before he
found out that it wasn't an account OF
the base bail game.

Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, and brave and true,
Moment by moment a long life through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it SO.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseess burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hiddQn fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set Of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well won,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deep
Over WORKOUT hands-oh, beautiful sleep!
