A man of Great weight.

Sam Eldredge, of the board Of trade,
took trip to Europe, and when he came
back he naturally felt little more i'm
portant, as all men do after their first trip
across the water. He was forever telling
about what he saw abroad, and these
stories became tiresone to his associates
on change. One morning Andy Shaw
came on the floor looking very rocky.
Andy is good deal Of a wag when he
feels in the mood, and, when some of his
friends inquired as to his unhealthy ap-
pearance, he said: ''You see, it's just like
this. Yesterday afternoon when l left
the office had dull, humping head
ache, SO I thought would try to walk it
off. Accordingly started to walk home.
Just after had crossed the bridge ex-
perienced peculiar feeling It was as
though was walking up hill. The far
ther walked the sleeper the hill seemed.
When reached home l was utterly ex-
hausted. I was at loss to explain this
peculiar feeling until came down this
morning and learned what caused it. l
couldn't sleep all night, as I was SO ex-
hausted, but find that Sam Eldredge
was on the south side as I was walking
home and that the north side tipped up"

Caught by a Monkey.

A murder is reported to have been
committed some way off Wynaad, in
which monkey detected the murderers.
1t appears that juggler with his wife,
goat and two monkeys were attacked
by two Moplahs, who killed all except
the male monkey, which escaped, and
buried the bodies in the jungle. The
male monkey took its station upon big
tree, watched everything and when a
constable passed by the animal made
after him, laid hold on the mans leg and
dragged him to the place where the
bodies were buried. The bodies were ex-
humed, after which the monkey showed
the way to a hut which the murderers
had entered. Not finding them, the
animal took the constable in another di-
rection and suddenly ran at full speed
and seized Moplah, who was going to
bathe, near tank, by the neck and
waited till the constable arrived. This
led to the detection of the mrderers,
who have been brought to Calicut.-

A Story of Congressman Reed.

Reed stood one day in front of the
Hamilton house, on Fourteenth street,
where he lives. There is hill there,
not steep, but sometimes slippery. A
colored man was urging horse attached
to heavily loaded wagon. Twice the
animal slipped and fell, and the driver
beat the beast with his whip. Presently
Reed stepped forward. In that sharp,
twangy voice SO often heard and gener-
ally feared in the house he commanded
the negro to desist. The man again
raised his whip, when Reeds big arm
swung out and caught the drivers wrist
in a strong grasp: Reed held him thus
as in a wise for one full minute, pouring
out such flood of reproof as that colored
man had never before heard. The man
WINGED, wilted. He was mastered, ply
sically and morally. And the end of the
incident was q drawing Of the wagon to
one side Of the street, Reed assisting the
driver therein, and a sending of the poor
horse away to the blacksmith to have
new shoes put on his old feet. Washing

Riddleberger a Good Shot.

A fact not generally known about Sen
ator Riddleberger is that he is the dead
shot of the senate. This fact was re-
Gently developed by some of his exploits
in shooting gallery not far from the
Capitol. The senator and some friends
had dropped in for few minutes quiet
sport with the rifle. The others of the
party, after several scattering shots,
which endangered the lives of the in
habitants of the neighborhood, gave way
to the senator, who gave a superb exhi-
bition Of craftsmanship. He broke with
comparative ease the glass balls spinning
about on an axis, and smashed clay
pipes in reckless profusion. His favor
its sport, however, was the breaking of
gilt balls about an inch in diameter,
which were thrown into fountain, and
danced about on top of a little jet of
water.-Baltimore American.

window. He does SO after struggling
with it for five minutes, and making a
noise which could be heard all over the
house, but of which the other villain
takes no notice.
"He has not heard me-" says the vii
lain.
''He must be jolly deaf then," said a
boy in the gallery, and the house filters.
The perspiration bursts from every
pore of Toms skin. His situation is CO.
ing wrong.
But the house is hushed Immediately.
There is no fairer audience in the world
than that which assemblies in London
theatre on the first night.
But it is only human audience, and
SO when, as the villain crept in at the
window and was just advancing OH his
victim, the looking glass, real, fastened
on the scene, came down with crash,
and the victim, following his author, ex-
claimed, "No sound disturbs the silence
Of the night" there was roar.
The situation was going fast. It went
utterly when the villain, disconnected,
as well he might be, in creeping up be-
against platform intended to draw the
table off for change of scene, and fell
sprawling, his pistol going off between
his unconscious victims feet.
With the roars of irresistible laughter
which followed this final catastrophe
ringing in his ears, Tom Johnson rushed
from the theatre to the Thames embank-
ment.
''It is ruin. It is disgrace" he cried.
"I can never survive it. Curse the hour.
when I gave myself up to this life of
constant .harass, annoyance and disap-
pointment! How can I read the awful
things that will be said of me in the pa
pers tomorrow! How can l meet my
friends and listen to their condolences!
How can ever enter a theatre again!
No, will not live to die in lunatic asy-
lum. will end it all in the peaceful
river"
Tom leaped upon the parapet and was
about to make the fatal plunge, when he
heard sweet silvery voice behind him.
1t was the China fairy's.
With frantic cry Tom turned to her.
"Can you grant me another wish?' he
exclaimed.
"Certainly."
''Then make me clerk in the city
again, and at onc!s."

Tom shouted for Joy. He was q clerk

happy day of peace and rest at home

Oh! what a happy Sunday it was
How snug and comfortable the sitting
room looked And after breakfast, when

paper an awful estate" of Mr.. Three
Stars new play, he felt great weight
lifted from his heart, and he exclaimed:
