His Wooing; or, No Fool Like al Old
Fool.

Nimrod Odlin bad known Flora
Forsyth ever since her Infancy, but 1t
had never occurred to him that she
would make good wife until he heard
one day that she had been left $50, 600
by a rich relative.
Numrcd was not a handsome man;
he was thirty-five and very bald, and
even more near-sighted, but that did
not prevent him from taking an early
opportunity OF fliDging himself at the
fair Flora's feet.
She appeared very much flattered
with his proposal, but requested that
he should allow her fortnight to
think it over.
''And you will give NE an answer in
two weeks?" overcome with delight.
Yes, If you keep in the same mind
till then"
It'll thenr' with fervor; "aye, till
then and foreverI'
She laughed and, rapidly changing
the subject, asked him il he had ever
met her cousin Beatrix.
No; Mr.. Nimrod had not enjoyed
the pleasure.
''She will be at Aunt Hephzibah's in
a day or two, and L want you to meet
her. We don't speak, but you know
Aunt, who, dare say, VIII arrange
matters. She has red hair, it is true,
but enough money to make 1t golden
She's worth more than twice what
am, and IN ready cash.
He was about to say that Flora's
hair was the only perfect color for
hair and that he despised money, but
she excused herself on the ground of a
pressing engagement and he went
away, promising to return In two
weeks.
Three days afterward our friend MIN
made friendly call on Aunt HephZi-
bah and was formally introduced to
her niece, Miss BeatIix Tavistock,
wbo had only arrived the day before.
Mss Tavistock, as Flora had said
was not a bad-looking girl. She was
about her Cousins age, to whom, In
features and expression, she bore a
strong family likeness. But her hair.
-carrotyi-why carrots would have
paled before it, 1t was of so fiery a
red that it fairly made NImrod's eyes
water. But as he thought OF her
twenty thousand in possession and
another twenty thousand in expectancy
and heard Aunt HephzIba's hacking
cough-he forgot just then that she
| had mad II Tor twenty yearS-the eHecl
OF the hair began to wear OF and was
quite forgotten at the end of half an
hour, which sufflced to reveal the fact
that Miss Tavistock was altogether the
most engaging young lady he had ever
met.
Nimrod repeated his visit tie nexi
day and the next and for many sue.
ceeding days, aud at every visit found
Miss Beatrix more charming than al
the last Her treatment of him was
decidedly more encouraging than
Flora's had ever been. Indeed he had
not a little irgratiated himself By

y New Glimpse at Wellington.

In looking at more than one episode
in WelIington's career We see that, like
many a general since his time, he was
hampered by a pIagrnatical government
1T home, and that his whole aim in
war-unlike Napoleon's-wasr rather to
protect his country against failure than
TO win success for himself. His eau
ton and his calculating instinct are
well illustrated in his words TO Mrs.
Croker. "An the business OF war, and
indeed all the business of life, IS to
endeayor to flnd out what you don't
kne~ by what you do know; that's
what l called guessing what was on the
other side of the hill" His views, too,
as 10 the probability of his success, as
expressed on the eve of his facing the
French, form a fit text to the whole
history of his tactics in the Peninsula
There was a worldwide discussion in
those times about the enemy's new
system of maneuvres. Wellington had
no faith IN the new system He be-
lieyed in the superiority or his own.
II think 1t q false one," lie said,
amongst troops steady enough, as
hope mine will be, to receive them
with the bayonet- L suspect that all
the Continental armies were more than
half-beaten before the battle was
begun. l at least will not be frightened
before" That his series of brilliant
successes during that memorable cam
paign, in the face OF the discourage
ment. want of confidence, and inaptl
tude of two governments, were IN no
sense due to the ''lucky STAR" to
which so many of his detractors had
recourse, is proved over and over again
l., Ia - harl COLLECTED rnDErhRT-
To the oft-repeated charges OF hard
ness there are manifold answers, and
no one who has really studied the prin-
ciples OF discipline practiced by Wei
lIngton can fail to admit that he was
guided by that sound conception of
mercy which makes 1t a duty to sacrl-
ice one life to spare a thousand. OF
his grief at the sacrifice that was in
yolyed there is not the shadow OF a
doubt. The man who said THAT moth
| ing was more tragIcal than victory
except q defeat-n was, to certainty,
| no stoIc. Ii the high qualities which
made him All ideal tactician IN the
/ game of war failed when applied to
affairs OF state, the fact only goes TO
prove his fidelity to himself, and 10 the
| high purpose he endeayOred to achieve.
| His action with regard TO the reform
I bill was that of the commander rather
/ than of the statesman; but no one Will
say that the result OF the contest be-
] tween himself and the nation was
| otherwise than honorabls to both. He
was true to his belief, and the people
were true to theirs, and, though they
| opposed the statesman, they reyereJ
and loved the soldier. Throughout he
was the same, and whether III a con-
troversy with the king as to the con
duct of the Duke of Clarence, or in a
correspondence with Massena on the
questions of prisoners; or in declining
to promote the interests OF friends
unfit for promotion, or in defending
the just claims of neglected widow:
and lll-treated officials. he always tool
a true, honest, downright view o.
every case that came before him.

European Paper Money.

Some European countries get up
their notes regardless of ce:ored ink.
Thus the Italian 1000 lire note Is an
elaborate affair. The paper is plain
white, but the printing is done in pink,
blue and carmine. Here is one which
has a very finely engraved vignette of
King HumbeTt, and the scroll work
will compare favoTably with the best of
any currency. The smaller Italian bills
are about the same size as our old frac-
tional currency. They vary In de-
nomination from one lire, or twenty
cents, to ten lire, or about 81 IN our
money. Here. perhaps, is the most
gorgeously-colored bank note of any
Eurot can country. 1t is Russian 100
rouble note. 1t has almost every color
of the rainbow, barred from top TO
bottom, as though it had been thrown
through a prism. The 100-rouble bill
is quite large, being, think, four by
ten inches In size. In the centre is a
portrait of Catharine /. The paper i5
not of an especially fine character,
while the lettering is done with dark
and light brown ink. The 25 and II
rouble notes are much smaller and
almost free from any elaborate display
OF colors. the note mostly used is the
rouble, or about y. % In our money.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
How a Smoker Got Even.

entered the sleeper at half past nine
and went to bed That is, it Is called
going to bed. Four other passenger
had gone to bed, and at ten O'Clock we
were all asleep. At that hour two men
entered with a clatter- They were
talking loudly, and they sat down and
continued it. / waited fifteen minutes
for one of the other sleepers to kick.
No one entered a protest. Then 1 rose
up and asked:
do you men know that this is a
sleeping carp"
''We do" they answered.
And do you propose to continue this
disturbance?n
"We propose to talk as long and as
loud as we please.''
called the conductor and inquired:
81 have paid for birth in which to
sleep. 1 can't sleep for this disturbance.
VIII you stop it?''
'Really, can't" he answered,
Are there no rulesP"
Yes; but people In a sleeping car
must be expected to be disturbed.
''Oh, they must. Very well-see me
later"
Four others came in with just as
much racket, and they kept their chat
ter going until eleven O'Clock. AT
half past eleven O'Clock the lights were
turned down and everybody was ready
to Sleep l had been patiently waiting
for this. Lying ON my back, arms
locked over my head and my palate
down, brought snore which went
laundering over that car in a way to
open every eye. After two more man
called out:
Thunder and blaZes. but we've got

After three more they began to yell
at NE from every berth. L put In two
extra ones, and the porter came down
and shook my arm, and said:
"Heah, you, stop dat!''
''Colored man." said, as 1 looked
up at him, eff you come hear and do
that again, 1 may fire upon YOU"
AS soon as he had gone L went back
to business. When a man sets out to
snore for revenge you'd be surprised to
know what a success he can make out
of it. In five minutes they were all
ing for the conductor. He came down
and said:
"Hey-you-wake upl You are dis
turbing the carr

"No, but

for a robber.'
Then 1 returned to the main ques-
tion. l snored in every key of the
scale. ! snored for blood. had every
person IN the car swearing mad and
ready to fight, and they sent for the
| passenger conductor. He refused IL
interfere. Several chaps volunteered to
pull me out o. that,' but when they
came close enough to see the muZzle of
| a revolver they fell back. At two o'clock
in the morning they held a convention;
and as the result one of them asked:
stranger, can we buy you Off"

sis there any way on earth to stoI
that bazoo OF yours?"
''There Is The four of you who

| The four who were here before 1 came

solemn words that if you ever enter d
sleeping Car again you will respect the
situation, and willlet you off,
Every soul in that car made the
promise, and half an hour later we were
all asleep.

There was a boy In Lowell, Mass. :,
the son of poor mau, who, a number
of years ago, was run over by a railroad
train. Both legs had to be amputated
close up to the hip. The company told
his father they would give him $1,000 or
the boy practical education. The
father accepted the latter alternative,
and the railroad company made a tele-
graph operator of the crippled boy.
When he became of age he found
he was not getting as good pay
as other operators He wrote to Gen
eral Butler and asked if anything could
be done. General Butler sent for the
boy. The whole story was gone over.
''I'll take your case" said the noted
lawyer. Then he sent for the solicitor
of the railroad company. When the
solicitor arrived at the Generals office
the legless boy was in chair on the
top of "a long table. General Butler
explained that he proposed to begin
suit for the boy to get DAMAGES.
"But," said the sOlicitrOy, 1--WE agreed
with his father to give him practical
education. We made telegrapher out
of him, and there is no law for getting
any further damages"
You can't tell me anything about
the law" was General Buffers reply;
but how much damage do you think
hat boy would get if he sat on a table
like that before jury?"
The railroad lawyer caught the point
at once. ~ do not know" he SAID.
"How much do you think he would
uetf"
About s1O,OOO," replied General
Butler.
"I'n compromise with you," hur-
riedly returned the lawyer, and by his
shTewd stage effect General Butler got
over $1,000 for the boy without going
into trial. The lawyer knew Butler
could make it cost that much, as well
as good deal of trouble, and he was
glad enough to compromise.
