worth 10000, 900, is about 45 years of
age, of medium size and dark COM
plexion. His face is smooth shaven
except that he wears heavy black

BILE one.
lie was born in Ireland, and landed
at Castle Garden less than % years
ago with scarcely dollar in his

try and became an oil well driller.
By lucky accident he obtained large
interests in the Bingham lands at

81 10000 Since that time his opera
tions as an oil producer have been in
variably successful, and his wealth, as
above stated, is not less than 0,000,-

vested in Government bonds, and he
also owns an immense cattle ranch in

THE PEASANTS CLOCK.
How . Quick-witted Dame Got =
Clock for the village.

We cannot but marvel at the ingen-
uity OF man in overcoming minor OBJ
stacles and providing substitutes for
articles which are generally regarded
as indispensable. How easily the
frontiersman gets along without bed
stead, a carpet. an ice chest, window
curtains, gas and hundred other
things which We regard as matters of
course. In Continental Europe, espe-
cially in Germany and Russia, the
peasants are deplorably poor, and re-
gard as magnificent luxuries what an
American laborer claims as a neces-
sity.
A century ago it was even worse, as
this story will testify. Frederick,
King OF Prussia, was one day riding
in the country, in civil dress, as usual,
and his horse, giving a sudden lurch,
threw him against the pummel Of his
saddle in such a way as to stop his
watch.
Presently he came to very small
NlilhHe, anu tsklilH lilEce Ut lOuf peas
ants the time, found that there was
not a clock or watch in the village
not even town clock. The invaria-
BILE answer was:
1--WE are too poor and the Govern
ment is too stingy."
He then asked woman who was
feeding two pigs. She dropped her
pail and ran into the barn, returning
presently with the intelligence that it
was about a quarter past noon.
" My dear dame, have you "A clock
in the barn?"
No."
" Have you a clock at all ?"
No."
" Then, how did you find out what
time it is"
You see that crack? Well, when
tine sun shines through that crack and
strikes right ON a knot-hole in the
black hens nest, then it is noon, and
Just now it"
But the King had put spurs to his
horse and galloped away, leaving the
ingenious dame staring after him.
Three months later that village had
a town clock, and has had ever since.

WHEN LAWRENCE WAS LARRY.
A story of BaFrett, the Actor, fn
bays of Long Ago.

Away back in the ante-bellum days,
when every city Of any pretension
had its own stock company which sup
ported the few stars who travelled in
those days, j. Ii. McVicKer visited
Cleveland, Ohio, in order to fill an en-
gagement for an eminent actor who
was under his engagement.
With the aid of the local manager
he east the piece for the opening night
from the regular stock company, but
found that there was one small part
for which there was no actor left.
Larry can play that part all right" !"
said the local manager; ''I'll send over
for him. Here, you Jim run across
the street and tell Larry to come right
over here as quick as can be-"
Who's Larry? inquired Mr.. Nc
Wicker.
"Oh, he's young fellow who works
in printing office here and OCCASION
ally plays small parts tor me. He'll
do il all right" In few moments
Larry arrived. He was short OF stat
ure and OF cadaverous features. He
was in his shirt-sleeves and his hands
bore evident traces Of the composing
room, which he had just left. Small
men are apt 10 carry themselves very
erect in order to atone, il possible, for
their lack OF hight, but Larry carried
himself 80 straight that, to use a nauti-
cal term, he "raked aft"
&" Do you think you can get your
self up in this role by. tomorrow

ing him part Of about two lengths.
Larry cast a glance OF inefiable
scorn at the manuscript, threw his
head a little further back, and ex-
claimed: "Learn it? Ishould l hope
| could"
The part was handed to him and he
made q dignihed exit.
What name shall put down on
the bill ?" inquired Mr.. McVicker.

CURING A CHEAT.
How an Eating House Proprietor
was Taught go Make Chaure

think it was in 1870, said one Of
the old rornders at one OF the clubs
last night, that saw funny thing
in an eating house on the Chicago and
Northwestern road, between here and
Dixon. There was a chap there who
ran lunch counter. He had way
OF never having enough change on
hand for a customer who wanted some
return money. That is, he never had
the change until after the train had
gone. In this way he managed to
rake off very nice sum in the course
OF a year, because q traveller had
rather lose ten cents or a quarter OF
dollar than miss his train.
w. III. Boardman, now publisher OF
the Railway Gazette in New York,
was here then, and the lunch-counter
man had done him, as the boys say,
several times before Boardmsn tum-
bled."
One day after this tumble Board
man took lunch at the stand Just few
minutes before train time, and threw
down half-dollar on the finish. The
chap rummaged his till and pockets,
and as usual said he would have TO
send out for change. lie knew it was
time for the train TO leave. The
lunch counter stood close to the en-
gine. There was an engineer by the
name OF Nef, whose run was on the
time now up. He sat in his cab and
overheard the conversation. lie, too,
knew the game of the lunch-counter
man. Boardman called out to Nef,
asking him ii his time was up. Neff
replied;
+" II is up now, Boardman; but I'll
hold her for fifteen minutes. In less
time than il takes TO tell you Board
man was over the counter, and when
he got through there wern't many
plates, platters, cups or saucers left.
He had smashed most OF them with
the lunch-counter man, and from that
time forever after, as long az the
man did business at
that stand, he never kept a customer
waiting for change more than four sec

AN OLD ENGLISH STORY,
Grnadmamma's Bcantifui Feet
shown 90 Soldiers.

There is pretty old historical story
that always comes up TO me, writes
Bob in the Philadelphia Times.
They tell it with great pride in an old
house where once visited When
King Charles ] was fighting Crom-
well and learning TO his sorrow that
gentlemen could be beaten by bullies,
the oldest daughter OF this very royal
house was engaged 10 be married to a
Puritan neighbor. Love tIiumphed
over everything and they were secretly
wed. Often of night the maid
would wrap herself up, and, attended
by trusty servant, would steal TO the
place where her husband was garri-
soned and spend the night there. At
last an Over-zealous soldier reported
that this gentleman was being visited
by eloaked figures, and that he be-
lieyed, because his captain was we'll
bred man, that he might have a taint
of allegiance to the royal family still
left in him.
Cromwell sent down soldiers TO
watch. One night the enshrouded
lEuIkH EUNtiths All llbhI AiltI iiit
soldiers were at the captains door, de-
mandng admission. He refused it.
They threatened TO break the door
down. After minute or two he
called out Yog know that there is
no way by which any human being
can get out OF this room. | promise
TO let you in provided you are per-
iectly quiet, march around the room
and leave it," The soldiers scarcely
understood this, but agreed to it. The
door was thrown open. The first one
who entered marched up to the bed
and started TO pull a coverlid from off
n figure that rested under it. But the
captain interposed and said: You
promised to touch nothing" The sol
diers insisted that perhaps one OF the
Stuarts was there; the captain swore
that II was not. At last, they still re-
naming unsatistied, he said: Gen
tlemen, will prove to you that under
that cover there rests one who is not
only not Stuart, but not man.
There was room full of soldiers.
There was a silence like death and it
almost seemed as il the heart under
the satin sheet could be heard beating.
Going to the foot of the bed the cap
tain raised the sheet, and slowly, care
fully and exactly rolled it up, display
ing TO this company of soldiers pair
of the handsomest white legs, the
smallest feet, and the finest ankles
that their eyes had ever rested on.
With one accord every man raised his
hat and quietly filed out. Long after
the story was told, and when the
tough captain was an old man and his
grandchildren were around him, wher
the Stuarts had their own, and tht
Guelphs didn't rule England, tho
greatest toast used to be. "To grand

She aave In uer Cru,ches.

A wealthy lady Of New York met
with an accident last winter by which
one OF her legs was broken. 1t was set,
but while in the process Of healing she
bought pair Of crutches to aid her 10
comotion. The habit of using them
grew upon her until she felt unable to
walk steadily without them. One day
recently she limped along a block on
her crutches to visit her neighbor,
and while doing so met ragged and
decrepit specimen who had lost leg and
was hobbling along on two thin-worn
stills. Her sympathy was stirred up.
She stood erect for q moment, grasped
her costly crutches in one hand. asked
the man IL he would take them, gave
them to him on the spot, and walked of
with perfect ease, having learned for the
first time since she broke her leg that she
had no need for artificial aid in pede
strianism. She is an unmarried lady,
too, though over 40.

Fruits and Vines in Egypt.

While the cultivation of fruits and vines
does not constitute one of the most i'm
portant agricultural industries of Egypt,
it is interesting to consider it. In Lower
Egypt are produced oranges and lemons of
all varieties. Peaches and pomegranates
are also produced, and near Alexandria
figs and grapes. Dates are not largely
grown in the Delta, except in the prov
inces OF Charkiehs and Gharbieh, where
there are some very good plantations. In
Upper Egypt fruit production is largest.
In the Fayoum it is the most diversified as
well as most extensive. There grow in
perfection figs pomegranates, apples, pears,
grapes, apricots, plums and olives. About
Cairo, too, are grown with much perfection
all the fruits named, as we'll as quantities
of bananas. Olives are grown, besides in
the Fayoum, in the province of Minieh
and about Cairo. Grapes are produced in
nearly every province but the most i'm
portant vineyards are found in the Fayoum,
where the product is of most superior
quality.
OF fruit trees, the date of commerce is
the most important in number, super
fscial area and production. In the Delta
and valley of the Nile, there are, from
the seaboard to Assonau, over 100000
date trees, 3,500,000 of which bear seed
and fruit. In the oasis there are about
100000. Charkieh and Sharbieh in Lower
Egypt, and GuIrgeh, Guirzeh and Assiut
in Upper Egypt, are the provinces in
which they are mainly grown. Altogether
they occupy a superficial area of 10000
feddans. Zone feddan is 120 acres.
OF oranges, lemons, citrons, pomegran-
ates, figs, peaches, apples, etc, there are
said to be over 100000 trees, occupying
q superficial area of about 5000 feddans.
Outside of this estimate there exists
great variety of edible fruits, such as
bananas, barbarian figs, medlars, mangoes,
plums, apricots, mulberries, ETC., of which
1t is impossible to make even an approxi-
mate estimate as to number-Cal-
