By Chance.

One of those incidents which present
a truth stranger than fiction occurred,
not long ago, in New England State.
An amateur photographer, wandering
about the country in search of material
for his camera, came upon n deserted
farmhouse, dilapidated and pictur-
esque.
Just as he had arranged his appara-
tus to take photograph of the house,
the front door was opened, and man
appeared from within. The contrast
between his trim appearance and the
general air of decay about him only
heightened the effect.
Stand where you are" cried the
artist, "and I'll take your picture"
The man complied, and the picture
was taken. Then the two men, APP
preaching each other, fell into CONVEX
sation, and the one who had appeared
in the doorway explained his presence
there.
Pm just on from the West, " he said,
"and father and mother wouldn't be
satisfied to let me come till / promised
to look up the old homestead. They
left it before j was born, and it has

decay, as you see, but there's nothing
they wouldn't give to set eyes on the
old place once more. So I've been
prowling about, in every hole and cor
ner, from garnet to shed, in order to
answer all their questions"
"We can do better for them than
that" said the artist, struck by hap
Ply thought, "If you will give me their
address, l will send them the photo
graph have just taken, as soon as it
can be finished"
The young man was, of course de-
lighted, and, q little later, the cold
folks at home" were still more so, for
one mornings mail brought them a
photograph of the old house, sorely
changed but still precious, and in the
doorway of it stood their son, for whom
they had begun to weary" during his
long absence.

deserved TO Live.

He was only stable boy, as hard
eDed and unholy as they make them,
yet he was an immense favorite with
patron and proprietor alike at the Mon
mouth track, and especially with his
fellows of the Morris stables, says the
New York Sun. Recently stricken with
a very grievous disease, yesterday his
physician told him that medicine and
science could do nothing more for him.
While quickly realizing that he was
fast covering the homestretch of life,
with the death wire, as it were, plainly
visible, the ruling passion in the con-
fiding and always courageous youth
thus portrayed itself:
whats my chances, Doc?"
"Not worth mentioning, my boy"

"Oh, no."

"No."

"W-well, perhaps there might be

A class in San Francisco art school
was recently startled by the sudden
appearance in its midst of q dilapi-
dated Irishman, who, with tears in his
eyes, begged for enough money to get
aim "bite." The first impulse of the
presiding genius was to request him to
move on, but his picturesque qualities
suggested that he be given chance to
earn his supper by sitting as model.

ladies to paint you we will pay you four

"Av Oil let 'em wha- at ?" replied the

ONE ON INK GENERAL.
The Licusensnt Was Lite Too Cleve
for Him.


for Him.
A general, with plenty of time on
his hands, one day stood at the win
dow to watch the people passing in the
street. While thus engaged, he noticed
one OF his officers who was without a
sword-a grave misdemeanor
I'll make him smart for this!" the
general exclaimed. "Ten minutes
cross-examination and months ar
rest"
The lieutenant meanwhile approach
ed, all unconscious of the impending
storm. When he was within earshot,
the general called out:
Sir, come up here; want to speak
to you'll"
The officer looked up and perceived
his superior; he remembered that he
had left his sword at home, and knew
what to expect. Unfortunately there
was no means of escape, and he had to
face the difficulty as best he might.
The generals face was beaming with
delight. He had found an opportunity
of enforcing the discipline while smok
ing his weed. The lieutenant stepped
into the house, and, in passing through
the ante-room, he espied the sword of
an orderly hanging on the wall. "The
very thing" he exclaimed, and buck
ling on the sword, he assumed an air of
innocence and opened the inner door,
saying:
"You have done me the honor to call
me, general"
"les, L wanted to ask you-Bigre!
Why, the fellow has sword" the
general muttered to himself, as the
smile faded from his countenance.
Whatever was it | was going to ask
you-Ahl i remember now ;about your
family-your father, how is he?"
IF he could but know the interest
you take in him he would feel highly
fattered unfortunately he died twenty
years agop
The general stared at his unwilling
visitor in speechless amazement.
"Then there is nothing else you have
to say to me?"
"Nla fol, MOI" the general answered.
"Only never 60 out without your sword ;
/ should have been compelled to place
YOU under arrest if you had left it at
home"
"Peste I'll take good care don't.
See here" and the young man coolly
displayed the arm which was dangling
from his waist.
"Yes, see it's all right, my friend !:
you may go.
The officer promptly availed himself
of the permission. He saluted the
general, and on his way through the
ante-room hung the sword on its peg.
He then left the house. The general
had resumed his former post at the
window. The next minute he called
his wife.
Il say, look at that young officer who
is walking away from the house,"
Il see him distinctly"
"Is he wearing a sword ?"
"Nop
"There you are mistaken. He looks
as if he isn't and has one all the time.
The wife made no remark. She is in
the habit of taking her husband at
his word. As for the officer he was
never again seen in public without his
saber.-Le Rappei.
