A man who had never seen the inside
of law court until he was recently in
troduced as a-witness in a case pending
in one of the Scottish courts, on being
sworn took position with his back to
the jury, and began telling his story to
the Judge. The Judge, in bland and
courteous manner, said: Address your
self to the jury, SIR" The man made a
short pause, but. not comprehending
what was said to him, forthwith con-
tinued his narrative. The Judge was
then more explicit, and said to him:
''Speak to the jury, sir-the men sitting
behind you on the benches" The wit
ness at once turned around, and, max
ing an awkward bow, said, with great
gravity: Good morning, gentlemen!"
The Rev. DR.. S., who is prominent
divine in city not far from New York,
has been spending few days-not in

Maine coast, and, intending to depart
on certain morning, he started for the
boat in company with n friend. A por-
ter followed with the doctors valise.
Arriving at the wharf they found that,
to take advantage of the wind or tide,
the boat had gone before the advertised
time. Not aware of the clerical charac-
ter of the company, the porter swore
several shocking oaths in quick success
sion. "What do you think of that, dec
torP" asked his friend. "Well," said
the doctor, slowly and impressively,
"there are times when the services of Il
layman are Indispensable. "-Boston

Hancock and Cleveland.

A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes: / am re-
minded by Gen. Hancoc:,s funeral of
an incident ut the Windsor hotel the
last time l met him. 1t was Decoration
day, 1885, in which he was the prime
factor and President Cleveland par
ticipant. Gen. Hancock came early
from Governors Island. He ordered
champagne in the parlor set aside for
himself and aids, and they were slipping
it when President Cleveland, Secretaries
Endicott and Whitney, and Postmaster
General Villas were ushered in. The
president had come from Secretary
Whitney's house in Fifth avenue, and
they were to await at the Windsor the
starting of the parade. The members
+ the cabinet were soon engaged in the
same pleasant task us the officers. The
president stood back by the big fire
place. Different members of the party
engaged him in conversation. No one,
however, had the courage to offer him n
glass of wine, especially as the door was
partly open and persons were passing
and repassing who looked in to see the
notables. Gen. Hancock glanced over
finally said, quite loudly, to the waiter
in attendance: "Is there any water here,
waiterP The president would like a
glass of water"
Meanwhile he had passed large
goblet nearly full of champagne without
anyone in the room paying much atten-
tention to him. The waiter pointed out
water-set at the side of the room. Gen.
Hancock went over to it, and went
through the motion of pouring water
into the goblet. Then he stepped up to
the president and said, with bow:
"Mr. President, will you not have q
glass of waterp You look thirsty"
Mr. Cleveland took the glass with
smile and drank n part of its contents,
thanking the general for his courtesy.
1t was cleverly executed piece of strate-
gy. hospitality, and courtesy.

PUSH.

If there were more push in the world
there would be fewer hungry, half
clothed, homeless, suffering children
fewer broken down, dissipated men
and women less need of almshOqses,
houses of correction and homes for the
friendless.
Push means lift for neighbOr in
trouble. Push means lift for your
self out of the slough of dependency
and shiftlessness, out of trouble, real
and fancied. Push never hurts any
body. The harder the push the bet
ter, if it is given in the right direction.
Always push up-hill-few people need
a push down-hill. Don't be afraid of
your muscles and sinews they were
given you to use. Don't be afraid of
your hands they were meant for SER
vice. Don't be afraid of your con-
science it will never reproach you for
a good deed-but push with all your
heart, might and soul, whenever you
see anything or anybody that will be
the better for a good, long, strong, de-
termined push.
Push 1t is just the word for the
grand, clear morning of life; it is just
the word for strong arms and young
hearts it is just the word for world
that is full of work rs this is. If any
body is in trouble, and you see it, don't
stand back, push
If there is anything good being done
in any place where you happen to be,

A REPORTERS TRIALS.

When the news of the loss of the
| Oregon reached the Office of the New
York Times three indefatigable news
gatherers-ThOmas b. Fielders, Will
liam j. Kenney and E. Tracy Bronson
were sent to the scene of the disas
ter under the charge of Mr.. Bronson in
tng-bOat hired by him for that pnr
pose. The boat met the steamer Full
da, which had the rescued passengers
on board, and contrary to the prOvi
siOns of the law the reporters were al
lowed to board her before the health
officer had arrived. The tug in the
meantime kept in the immediate vi
entity of the steamer ready to take the
three journalists on board directly
they had finished their mission. But
alas for the plans of the ongest-head
ed journalists, Mr.. BrOnsOn's scheme
failed of success. When the officers
learned who their visitors were, they
fatty refused to allow them to disem-
bark before they reached quarantine.
which would have brought them back
to the city several hours too late for
Mondays paper. When this decision
was announced the journalists held a
brief consultation. 1t was then nearly
2 O'Clock in the morning; it was as
dark as Egypt, and the black water
under the bows of the steamer was the
reverse of inviting even to the most
enthusiastic natatOrian. Mr.. Bronson,
who had recently been seriously i'll,
was barred out from the proposed plan
by large majority, and much against
his will. Then Mr.. Kenney and Mr..
Fielders drew lots to see which should
have the privilege of jumping over
board with the notes of the entire par
ty and trusting to his ability to jump
from the steamer to the deck of the
tug which would hurry him to the Of
flee where the story of the disaster
might be written. Mr.. Fielders was
the fortunate man. Giving his watch
and other valuables to his comrades,
and taking in return their manuscript
Mr.. Fielders waited until the tug had
come as near the vessel as possible,
when he boldly leaped into the dark
ness. Happily he reached the tug,
and despite the opposition of the Of
ticers he was able to reach the city |
within an hour, and the next morning
the people read the complete story of
the accident without dreaming of the |
bravery which had made their pleasure
possible.

so many gray .horses and no gray colts.
| do not know whether the egg began
with the hen or the hen started with
the egg. can't understand why we
can't find the North pole when we
know where it is. | don't know why Il
matinee should come in the afternoon.
| don't know why man wears but
tons on the tail of his coat. | can't see
what earthly use an elephants tail is
to him. | don't understand why peO-
pie in town are always wild to go to
the country, and people in the country
are azy to come to town. Why don't
they change places at once, and be
done with it. | do wish | could some
