The Jail i'll Morris County, New Jer-
sey, boasts of q dwarf less than four
feet high, who drinks moro water than
any other man in the State. Formerly
he a the champion whisky drinker
of his district, and for habitual drunk
enness and disordcrly conduct he Was
committed to the Jail some weeks ago.
AT first the sudden cutting off of his
customary allowance of strong liquor
almost FRUSTRATED him. Recently, how
ever, he has developed a passion for
water that is more pronounced than
his old craving for whisky. He drinks,
it is said, u gallon every night, and
accosts the first keeper he sees in the
morning with a demand for more.
During the hours of daylight he re-
quires from eight to ten quarts to
assnage his thirst, and still complains
of a dryncss of the tonsils. He says
lie never felt in better health in his life.

WAsH1NaToN's private secretary was
a young man named Tobias Lear, whom
President Washington discovered in
Massachusetts. There was also for
come time a Colonel Humphreys in the
household of the first President. He
had been attached to the American Lee
CATION in Paris under Jefferson, and it
was mainly by his advice that the
stately etiquette of Washington's levees
and receptions was introduced. The
private secretaryship was not of much
Importance in the beginning of the
Republic. The office was created in
order to save the President from the
irudgery of signing his name person
ally to land warrants and other official
documents.

THE PICKPOOKET'S FATE.

One OF the excursionists landing at
Brighton Beach the other day seemed
exactly fitted to the term green as
grass. He was an oldish man, with the
scent of burdocks in his clothes, and as
he moved around he left trail of hay
seed behind him. He had no sooner
left the train than he approached a
young man who was negligently leaning
against post at the entrance to the
depot and said
By gum, but this is nice. I've got
away for day, and Pm going right in
and have slashing good time.
That's right, uncle, kindly replied the
young man that's what we come here
for-to enjoy ourselves. 1t takes money,
though.
You bet it does, but I've got the
rhino right in my clothes. Bin savin'
up for eight months. Pm Jest goln'
right in regardless of expense. Look

He pulled fat wallet from his hind
pocket and patted it afectionately, and
confdentially whispered

KNOW SOMETHING.

DR.. Holmes says well-educated
man is one who knows everything
about something and something
about everything. The wise doctor
does well to put this in the order he
does; for the man who begins at one
thing and learns all about it, before
trying to master anything else, is the
man of power and consequence in
this world. While the one who dab
bles little in everything gets left far
behind in the race. Mr.. Burdette
puts the idea very neatly in the fol.
lowing paragraph:
Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook S1o,-
900 year, my boy, which is a great
deal more than you and 1 earn-or
at least it is good deal more than
we get-because he is a cook. That
is all. Presumably because he can
cook better than any other man in
America. That is all. If Monsieur
Sauceangravi could cook tolerably
well, and shoot a little, and speak
three languages tolerably well, and
keep books fairly, and sing some,
and could preach fair sort of SER
mon, and knew something about
horses, and could telegraph little,
and could do light porter's work,
and could read proof tolerable, could
do plain house and sign painting.
and could help on threshing ma
chine, and knew enough law to prac-
tlce in the justices courts of kicapoo
Township, and had once run for the
Legislature, and knew how to weigh
hay, he wouldn't get $1,000 year
for it. He gets that just because he
knows how to cook, and it would
not make a cents difference in his
salary if he thought the world was
flat, and that it went around its orbit
on wheels. There's nothing like
knowing your business clear through,
my boy. whether you know any
thing else or not.

R-h-i-n-o, rhino Come and haye
a drink of sarsaparilly and some ice
cream.
The two were soon fast friends. Sev-
eral phllanthropists sought to signal the
old man that he was in tow of pick
pocket, but he was oblivious. The
young man steered him from place to
place, paying for soda water, ginger
ale and peanuts in the most liberal
manner, but somehow every time he
attempted to go into that hind pocket,
the hind pocket wasn't there. After
three hours hard and persevering work
he finally got his fingers on the wallet
and quickly transferred it. Then he
suddenly announced:
Say! You wait right here minute.
There's party out there 1 want to

All right. responded hayseed, looking
up from his ice cream, but don't be
gone long. Pm a-haven' the gosh
darnedest best time in my life, and L
don't want nuthin' to happin'.
Something did happen, however.
The young man did not return. Several
hours later old hayseed went up to
Manhatten Beech and found him sit
ting On bench gazing penslvely out to
sea.
'Scuse me, he SAID, but it it's the

manued the young man, as he bristled
up.

sorrowful. You have my sympathy.

and found it stuffed full OF hair-dye
dodgers. I'd gin bushel of ""taters"

And he pulled great wad of green
backs from his pocket and patted it
fondly, and said:

simply an old ruta-baga from the agri-
cultural deestricks. Let's have a glass

HOW TO STOP A RUNAWAY HORSE.

A policeman, who has distinguished
himself IN stopping runaway horses.
gives, in the Medical Classics, the fol-
lowing points as to how to accomplish
that end with the greatest success:
When you see runaway coming do
not try to check him by a rush from
the opposite direction or the side, for
you will be Immediately knocked flat
by the collision but, instead, prepare
yourself for short run with the horse.
Measure with your eye the distance,
start for the run while he is yet some
way off, perhaps 10 feet, in the case of
fair to medium runaways. You may
depend upon his keeping a straight
line, for a really frightened horse is
half blind and would not veer for
steam engine. He will 60 straight
ahead until he smashes into something.
so do not get close to the line on which
he is rushing, and as he passes you grab
the reins near the saddle. Gather the
reins firmly, and then, leaning back
ward as you run, give them a powerful
yank. You may be able to brace your
self somewhat as you give this jerk,
half sliding on your feet. The strong
jerk on the bit tells the horse that he
again has master, and prepares him
for the final struggle. A step or two
forward after the first yank, do it again.
This is the finishing stroke. 1t never
fails when given by determined man.
Keep firm pull on the reins till you
grasp the horse by the nostrils, and hold
him SO till he is pacified.
