The Ticket Sellers.

The Chicago News quotes a ticket.
seller at one of the prominent theatres
in that city as saying: Funny, amt
it? how many people, and so many of
them wide-awake business men, go
away without their change. Well,
sometimes it's the other way, and it
only about balances up. | have
known lots of ticket sellers who made
big stakes out of their business. Now
there are the circus-ticket men, for i'm
stance. A woman comes along and
lays down a So bill for two tickets.
The ticket man sees that she is some
what ratified at the crowd behind her
and dosen't hand her the change right
off. Chances are she goes right along
with the crowd and doesn't think of
her change until she gets inside Then
she comes back and wants it. "You
gave me a dollar, madam" is the
ticket mans reply, and there is the
sign which says, Ne Change Corrected
After Leaving the window and what
can she do about it? OF course, in
first class theatres no such robbery is
conducted, and generally give man
his change when he comes back, il !
think he is right Then there is the
fly young crook, who comes back
and claims change that know he has
already had. I've got to look out for
hun, or | would be $40 or SIS short
every day. Then there are other
causes for ticket man to be behind in
his accounts. Some shows use these
thin paper tickets, and when man is
IN hurry he is sure often to hand
out two instead ofone This shortage
must be made up some way, and the
simplest scheme is the short-change
racket. You can put it down for a
fact that whatever the state of trade
may be the fly ticket-seller is not
much behind in his accounts"

New York Letter.
A curious fact in New York City life
is that the value of things is estimated
by their cost. That is not generally
true, of course, for most people try to
get worth for their money; but among
our million inhabitants there are a
sufficient number of men of another
sort to form a conspicuous element in
public places. In the store of deal
er in rare books / saw Benjamin +.
Butler looking at War book that
had been interleaved with engravings
illustrative of battles described in the
text. He asked the price and was told
S25. He remarked that possibly he
might come in later to buy it, and
sauntered out The bulky volume
still lay on the counter when a stylish
young man entered and glanced at
it.
There's something you ought to
put into your library" said the mer-
chant. at is unique and curious"
How much?" asked the fellow, as
he carelessly turned the leaves.
Eighty dollars" was the bland re-
ply.
The interest of the customer palpa-
bly, rose at the price, and within five
minutes he was the owner of the book.
asked the seller, afamiliar acquaint-
ance, how he could bring his conscience
to that sort of double-dealing.
1T is a perfectly legitimate feature
of my business, he replied, ito get
the most can for curiosities like that.
Gen. Butler is regular customer, and
was well aware that he knew the
value of such things. There was no
chance OF selling it to him unless
named reasonable figure. But in the
other case know the man too. He
wouldn't have looked twice at the
book if had named the same price /
had given to Butler, but the high cost
struck his faray."

How General Wards Life Was
Saved.

General Durbin Ward, of Ohio,
whose death occurred a short time
ago, was a gallant soldier during the
late war. He was terribly wounded
at the battle of Chickamauga. Cen
eral James Il. Steedman useto-to tell
with a rare gt;sto how he saved the
life OF the brave soldier on that occa-
sion. The night after the battle
Steedman was riding past cabin by
the roadside. A woman at the fence
said to him: There Is dead Union
soldier in my house" Steedman dis
mounted and went in to see the dead
man. He found him lying IN acorner,
covered with u blanket, where thesur-
geons had abandoned him. He pulled
the covering of, stopped down and by
the light of a candle recognized his old
friend Colonel Durbin Ward. He was
cold and apparently lifeiess Steed-
maa felt his pulse and found a slight
huttering. Calling for his orderly, who
carried a canteep OF whisky, he raised
the dying man and putting the can
teen to his mouth poured a liberia!
quantity of the revIvifying fluid down
bis throat. The reaction came, the
surgeons were sent for and Durbin
Ward was saved.
