Doing Up a Man.

Detroit Free Press.
A well-dressed, well-satisfed man
stood leaning against lamp-post at
the corner Of Woodward avenue and
Congress street recently to enjoy the
sunshine and the panorama of travel,
when man who had been observing
him from q doorway for some time
walked up to him held out his hand
and said:
'Hellol Dick, you here?''
"You are mistaken, sir" coodly re.
piled the other.
what! Are you not Dick
Richards?''

"Come now, Dick, no playing of.

"sir! You are mistaken in your

never IN Mobile in my life."
"Good! whispered the other.
"Don't give yourself away, but look
out Tor the peelers. Any of 'em can
pick up on the description. Mum is
the word. Ta.ta."
And he went back to his doorway,
while the other man got red and white
by turns and finally moved off down
the street. He had no sooner left the
post than the other took his place,
and as he rubbed his hands together
he chuckled:
HE was too well dressed and tax
ing too much comfort, and had to

A Pretty Stiff Story.

There is a problem in this town for
the temperance people to solve. He
is in the neiRhborhood OF fifty years
old, and his life for the last ten years
has been the comment of all who know
him. His business requires the finest
eye, the most delicate touch and
dreamy fancy, and, moreover, there
must be inventive talent that needs
replenishment as the seasons come
and 60. Yet for ten years he has
averaged between thirty and forty
drinks of hard liquor every day. Ere.
quently he has been known to drink
sixty times day. He does not con-
fine himself to whisky, gin or brandy,
but jumbles them ali up. taking bran.
dy before breakfast and gin and whis-
Ky the rest of the day. He has been
known to take nine gin fixes before
8 O'Clock in the morning. He is in bed
every night at 10 o'clock. and up at
6 in the morning. He attends strictly
to business, save for the time that is
occupied in dashlnR in and out of a
neighboring hotel bar room. He is
we'll known up town, and the pride of
his friends is that this human seplu-
chre OF rum has never been seen intox-
icated. Some swell New York boys
who tried to follow exactly in his foot
steps for q single day were seen Aoun-
dering into q Turkish bathing estab-
lishment before 10 o'clock in the
morning.

Open or Shut.

Riding on railway train, q gentle.
man sitting next an open window was
tapped on the shoulder sharply by q
woman behind him. who said, II wish
you'd shut that window right of, mis-
ter, I'm freezing"
"Freezing!" exclaimed another wom-
an, who occupied the Same seat with
the gentleman; you amt doing any
thing OF the sort: I'm just suffocat-
ing with the heat
':Pm freez;n' l tell your
''And l tell you Pm suffocating!"
"I'll tell you what to d." said an
elderly man in the front seat, turning
around impatiently; ''shut the window
by all means, until this one is suffocat-
ed, and then open it until the other
freezes to deathP'
This was decidedly a rude remark,
but it emphasized the need of courte-
sy if one wishes to travel pleasantly
on railroad trains.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

An exchange contains the following
information regarding the value of
rare American coins: The half. dolla
OF 1852, representing Liberty seated
is in circulation. It is worth $1.75.
The quarter OF 1883, with rays, is al
go occasionally met. 1t brings 50.
Among silver dollars ofrecent coinage,
the 1858 dollar, representing Liberty,
seated, is the most valuable. It is
worth SIS. The dollar of 1888 has g.
flying eagle on the reverse side. A
little worn it would pass without no.
tice. It is worth SIS. So is the same
coin of 1889. Both are in circulation.
The 2O-cent piece of 1877 is worth
1.5O, and of 1878, 1926. They are to
be met, though rarely. The valuable
dimes and half.dimes were all coined
before 1916. The silver Scent piece
OF 1873, with the large star brings 60
cents; the copper 2-cent piece of the
same year is worth the same. The
flying-eagle cent of 1856 sells for 81.
All the gold coins coined prior to
1888 command premiums.

Another story is related concerning
Emperor Williams economic habits.
On recent cold morning his servant
brought him his military cloak which
he has worn for many years. He put
it on, looked into the glass. and re-
marked that the collar ought to be re-.
newed, as it seemed faded. The at
tendent suggested it would perhaps be
better to get new cloak, whereupon
the Kaiser replied: "Wha$ are you
thinking of? The cloak is good
enough. Ihave not even worn it as
long as o good coat has to serve for
recruits"
