Fun vs.. Character.

What young man. working on a
good salary, respected and esteemed
by his employer and friends. can be
thinking of when he so far forgets
character, friends and future, as to COM
NIT acts which will for all time blacken
his reputation, surpasses the under
standing of the ordinary, steady going
young man having horse sense. These
young men with brilliant talents for
polka, betting on races and Judging of
the varied attractions of wine and
women. appear too dull and stupid to
realize that regulations are won and
lost but once in this world. ANY man
can make and lose fortune half doz-
en- times during his life, but there is no
such thing as making or losing ones
reputation half a dozen times. OF
course, a person may in measure re-
trieve reputation, but like the blood on
Lady Macbeth's hands, the damned
spots" will not out. Young men should
always bear in mind that certain class

A Lecture-ROOm at Leipsic.

A letter devoted to the Leipsic Uni
versity would be worse than incomplete
II nothing were sad about the hours de-
voted to the lectures. The lecture
rooms are by no means picturesque.
They are furnished with plain benches
and desks, the board running along the
back OF one seat serving as desk for
the seat next behind it. There is every-
thing necessary for work, nothing for
ornament-everythmg that is necessary
except fresh air. One advantage about
the lecture hour is that it is fortvfive
minutes long. Fifteen minutes are al
lowed for the students to get into their
places and for the professors to Get from
one room to another. Before the fif-
teen minutes are over every one is in
his place, or, at least, is expected to be
there. The late conner, who disturbs
the quiet by entering the room a min
ute after the lecture has begun. is greet
ed with shutting of the feet and
Kisses. A glance around the room at
any OF these lectures will reveal the
fact that among the 100 or 200 present
other lands are represented besides Ger
many. There are a few Enplishmen
more Americans, here and there Rus
sian or Swede and few Japanese.
Not long ago one of these yellow
skinned Orientals, who had taken notes
OF the lecture in German, was seen
reading and translating his notes into
English for the benefit of All American.
VINO had been so unfortunate as not to
understand the lecture. And vet the
Japanese are barbarians!-Troy Times.

Mock Auction Of Cigars.

That aged system of swindling by means
Of auction sales of cigars is still carried on
successfully in New York. The other day
a well known southern man entered little
place where cigars were being sold by an
auctiOneer. There were apparently three
or four men who were bidding briskly, and
as the cigars seemed to be fine the stranger
competed for choice box, which was
Knocked down to him for SIS. Immediately
afterward the sale was declared closed
The sOuthemer stepped up to the counter,
where the apparent customers were receiv.
ing parcels and asked for his box, at the
same time rendering S. bill.
You owe s6O," said the cashier severely
"FOr what"'
"These cigars are sold in lots, not by the
box"
"But distinctly bid for one box"
"YOu are mistaken"

toners.
The southerner concluded he had a bar
gain anyway and that his friends would be
glad to take such cigars off his hands. He
thought that he might, after all, been bid
ding under misapprehensisn. He wrote
an order on prominent hotel where he
was staying for $50, and directed that the
cigars be sent there. Then he went down
town and forgot all about the matter until
evening.
When he returned to the hotel the clerk
said: 1--WE paid your order, but we know
that you have been swindled."
"Oh, no, the cigars are worth double the
money"
Look at them and seer'
The package was united, and twelve
boxes of the cOmmonest kind of cabbage.
leaf cigars were exposed to view. The
southerner turned away in intense disgust.
Don't give me away" he begged.
Rather give the cigars away-to the por-
ters-anybody."
The next day he took policeman to the
auction store, vowing vengeance. The
place was empty, and he invested another
dollar in treats to the official, begging him
also in the same disguised manner, Don't
give me away"

An old, experienced Wall Street banker
remarked in course of conversation with a
reporter on one of our exchanges, a few
days ago, that "a still tongue is fortune
The idea he wished to convey was that men
who talked too much expose the secrets of
their business. A silent man is generally
the safest adviser; he thinks before he
speaks, and weighs well his words. Some
men are as ready with opinions as hun
cry man for dinner; all that is required is
the opportunity to air them. Others are so
vOluble they tell all they know about their
own business, and their neighbors' as we'll
Generally, you can take the measure of an
inveterate talker, as it's wind and froth. On
the other hand, the man who holds his
tongue is not easily fathomed. ''Still water
runs Deep" with but little noise and friction.
while the shadows foam and fret with con-
slant tumult.
AS rule, the silent man is methodical,
painstaklng, careful. He weighs his words
and pounds accurately. In business he
makes no fuss or parade; he transacts il,
however, with diligence and prudence. Brag
and vanity are twins; together they were
born and together they will die.

listener shows lack of good sense and
sound judgment. Men have been hung on
their own testimony, and merchants have
