The Minister Thanked UeaYen.

An old sea captain SGT in the lobby Of tho
custom house yesterday afternoon. He was
in laxative mood, and related a number
Of funny experiences he had had with minis
ters. There was one in particular which
amused him very much as be recalled it.
"Once, when we left London" he began,
'fto make q trip TO Baltimore, among the pas
sengers on board was a preacher. We had
hardly got out of the river before the good
man became awfully sick, and he felt sure
something was wrong with the ship. He re-
lated his fears to me, and to allay them I
took him to the fore part Of the vessel, where
a number OF sailors were at work
"'Do you hear those men swearp asked
eyes no replied. Isn't it shocking7
What VIII become Of themp
"'Well, don't know answered, but it
must DO plain they are not worried about the
condition OF the ship The reverend gentle
man saw the point and felt much easier.
''The next day terrible storm arose. The
vessel plunged in the trough OF tho waves,
and the passengers were greatly frightened.
Il noticed the preacher going to the same
part of the ship, and followed him. Sud
denly ho stopped and listened attentively.
Then he exclaimed: Thank heaven, they are
still swearing need not add that the boat
didn't go down"-Baitilnore News.

A Suspicious Man.

There were half a dozen of US smoking and
talking on the veranda, one evening, when
a young man came along with bank note
in his hand and asked:
''Can any of you gentlemen break a twenty
+ for meg'
If we could we didn't care to, and when he
had gone the man at the end of the row said:
1--WE got plenty of snlall bills, but he
looked like sharper to me-"
"On the contrary, he had very honest
look" observed Boston man.
''Well, the bill was probably counterfeit. "
"Come, now, but don't be SO suspicious Of
human nature"
But I'll bet it wasn't bankable bill
Why didn't he go to the hotel Officer
''My dear sir, 1 should hate to be suspi-
cious Have you any money to loser
s'How7'
''Any money which says the bill is badT'
"Yes-S50"
'Done."
The young man was coming back down
the street and we called to him He still
had the bill in his hand
'Let me see it," said Boston. He scanned
the bill closely for ten seconds and then
handed it back with the remark:
81 see. Served me right I'll pay the
bet"
It was busted Canadian bank bill, and
the man on the end and the bearer of the
bill were confederates. Boston didn't raise
any row over it, but he retired very early
that night.-Detroit Free Press.

Hard ON the youry Man.

The younger society element of Philadel

that befell one of their number some time

in no measured terms his disapproval OF the

afterward this doughty champion, in telling
of the affair while sitting around one Of the

whom he had cherished these hos

writer had learned of his expressions and in
sisted upon an immediate apology or salts

young friend did not feel equal to the en-
counter. The paternal advice was sought

be best to prepare an humble letter of apol

the favor of an immediate reply. 1t soon
came. The other party knew nothing what
ever of the affair, and it slowly dawned upon
them that the challenge was got up by some
outside wag for the purpose of obtaining
little harmless amusement. The explana-
tons all round are said to have been very
funny.-Philadelph Times.

How tho Ex-congressman Got Ahead of

Ex-Coueressman A. 4. Ranney, Of Massa-

its effect by reason Of its owners prefer

ouently been known to guffaw heartily in
the streets over some remembered remark of
the witty lawyer, which, on account OF the
way it was uttered, did not at the time strike
them as at all funny. When the ex-congress-
man was boy he was noted for his obsti-
macy and originality. He did not strive to
be original. Hs was built that way. dis
father couldn't get along any better with
him than other people. The old gentleman
was often bothered by the boys strange
ways.
Young Ranney didn't assirnil&te with his
echoolfellows, nor did he even take much
stock ia his brothers Fate and his mother,
however. made him and one of his brothers
occupy the same bed. The brother Is now a
distinguished physician OF this city, but then
be was one of the worst kickers mortal boy
ever had for bedfellow He kicked in his
sleep like bucking pony, and many marx
did he leave on the future congressman. In
vain did A. A rebel against his fate. The
maternal edict had gone forth, and there was
no escape One bitter winters night, about
midnight, the peternal Ranney was awakened
By tremendous hamr2ering above stairs,
sounding as if it came from his sons room.
The circumstance was alarming, and, putting
his bare feet in a pair Of slippers, Father
Ranney FASTENED up stairs in his night shirt.
Tho light of tho cold winter moon, which
shown through the windows, treated him to

''What are you doingT
Young Ambrose raised his eyes, but did
not desisb from his work until he had COM
pleted it to lis satisfaction. Crossing over
to that side of tho bed the father saw with
surprise and anger that the boy had nailed
the sheets under the board, thus fastening
them securely to the side of the bed.
II want to keep those bedclothes over me-"
said the boy, coolly. "He's always kicking
them off" indicating his sleeping brother.
The situation was too much for the old
gentleman, who, without another word, left
