Why He Laughed.

Phil Thompson, the ex-Congress.
man from Kentucky, has located in
Washington and is making great
deal of money in the practice of the
law. He is social fellow and is a
capital talker Not long ago a party
Of Western visitors called on him,
and one of them seemed especially
amused at his stories. "Bill," said
one of the others, after they had left
Thompson; "Bill, YOU liked Thomp-
son, didn'tyou?" Nav, not partic-
ularly," said the interrogated party.
"But you seemed to-" persisted the
other. "You laughed egregiously at
all his jokes" Laugh? Well, l
should rayther say | did," replied the
first, solemnly. "And you'd ha'
too, if you'd known the man
who was telling the jokes. That fel-
Ter Thompson has killed eight or ten
men, and ] jest made up my mind
when he started in to amuse us that
I'd be amused. Chicago News.

Uncle Daniel.

The blunder OF II messenger boy IN
the Stock Exchange day or two ago,
by which an order intended for one
broker was given to another and the
operations of prominent speculator
exposed, recalls story that Wall
street men love to tell Of dead.and-
gone Uncle Daniel Drew. Mr.. Drew
was squeezed one famous day by oper-
ators in Northwest stock, and he laid
down big pile of money in losses.
Not unnaturally Mr.. Drew felt griev-
ed, while other people were CORES
pondingly high-sprited and happy.
1t was great thing to catch the willy
deacon mapping, and hundred jokes
went the rounds in celebration
Of his upsetting. Some Of these
bits of humor fell upon Uncle Daniels
own ears, but he didn't seem to pay
much heed to comments that made all
the rest of Wall street laugh hilari-
ously. Some young men old enough
to know better even went so far as to
accost him personally and laugh in
his face. Behind the smile that light
ed his face it is barely possible that
the recording angel heard a gritting
Of teeth, but the festive brokers did
not hear any such thing, and they
went on their way rejoicing for many
days. One evening big congrega-
tion of them were in an uptown club,
when all unexpectedly in marched
Uncle Daniel Drew. He had called
only for moment, he was hunting
for n man whom he did not find. 1t
was not an excessively warm night,
but Uncle Daniel seemed to be much
over-heated, and two or three times
he drew out his big white handker-
chief and bathed his face in it; and
finally out of his pocket with the
handkerchief came slip Of white pa
per to float the circle round till it
settled at his feet on the floor. Mr..
Drew didn't notice that he had lost
anything the speculative gentlemen
before him did, and the foot Of one
enterprising broker was big enough
to cover the slip Of paper over as it
lay there on the floor. Mr.. Drew
went out. The eager crowd gathered
up the white scrap, and this, in the
Wall street Kings own unmistakable
handwriting, was what it said: "Buy
me all the Oshkosh stock you can at
any price you can get below par"
Oshkosh was already pretty high.
Everybody was agreeing that it was
too high, and that q tumble was in
evitable, but the handwriting of the
millionaire operator plainly exposed
OH that slip of paper was sufficient to
convince the eager crowd in that
that night that some new
scheme must be afoot to send it fur
ther skyward. Right through the
milestone they saw it all, and then
and there they made up a pool to buy
10000 or 10000 shares the next day.
They did, and the man who sold it
to them was Daniel Drew. He bland
ly told them all about it as they saw
their money all going to pot, Osh-
kosh declining a dozen points day.
Mr.. Drew's handkerchief exercise had
been carefully planned.-New York
Times.

Having been sent to see whether
there were any Holsters in the lobster
pot, Pat said, upon returning empty
handed: There was no ripe ones,
sorr, there was only Crane ones, and
moighty wicked, too, for when Oh
tried to pet the little one, he drew
out pair of scissors and nearly
chapped off my thumb. Instead of
ripening, sorr, they are only schaming
so Oi tossed them all overboard."-
