Practical Joking

That mythical parsonage the fool
killer, we're he an actual entity,
would have found an exceptional
opportunity for the prompt perfor-
nance of his duty in the case of the
two practical jokers in a paper mill
near Troy, New York, who tied the
legs of sleeping workman to whirl.
ing shaft, with the result that the vic
tim We dashed to a horrible death.
OF course they did not intned to kill or
hurt him, but only meant to have a
laugh at his fright when he awoke and
discovered his situation but they were
unable to release him in time, and the
intended joke became shocking occa-
sion of justice and common sense, how
ever, if the jokers are not visited with
condign punishment. They have been
a tragedy. 1t will be an outrageous
shame, arrested under a law which
prescribes fine and imprisonment for
such an act as theirs, and il is to be
hoped that they will receive the full
extent of its penalty, There is no
more unmitigated nuisance in society
than the funny dogs" who are always
on the alert for opportunities to graft
fly their love of "fun" at the expense
of other peoples comfort. They are
chaps who slip chairs from under peo-
pie about to sit down, who point sup
posed unloaded guns or pistols at
their friends to startle them, or who
rock small boats in order to enjoy the
trepidation of timid females or nervous
men who may happen to be their fell
low passengers. Their irrepressible
sense of the ludicrous does, il is true,
serve one practical purpose-it furn-
ishes material for many more or less
shocking items for the news columns
of the daily papers-but this is hardly
sufficient to commend its patient toll
Grafton by the community. The con-
firmed practical joker" in any COM
munity is simply chronic pest. Pre-
Stunning upon his reorganized chr
acter as wag, he nnhesitatingly takes
the most impertinent liberties with
anybody who may happen to present
an opportunity for indulgence of his
peculiar hobby, and when he is moth
ing more Objectionable he 10 an intol-
cradle bore. Usually his abnormal
sense of humor is to very large ex-
tent a sheer affectation, and il almost
invariably covers a decide deficiency
of hard common sense. Some people
of light mental calibre esteem funny
and they consequently apply the whole
power of their meagre intellects to the
to the divisiug of tricks to raise a
laugh at the expense of others.
Among sensible and refined people,
the peculiar instinct which finds graf
ifcatlon and pleasure in the discomfort
or unhappiness of others must be
regarded as ANYTHING but an admirable
trait of character, and those who make
practice of exhibiting it should be
summarily and Systematically set down
upon. When their performance take
form of mere impertinence perhaps the
usual methods of resenting an insult
may be regarded as adequate, bnt when
they are of character to endanger
life or limb the penalties of the law
should be invoked

"Orphans."

An old lady of seventy-fve or more
met an acquaintance in Booton
horse car and impaired to her the in
formation that she YVES intending to
start shortly for California. "My on
ly daughter lives out there" added
the old lady, "and want to be with
her. You know I'm an orphan"
More surprising even than this
woman's case was that of contra
band" who came into the Federal
lines in North Carolina. in the winter
of 1868 He reported himself to The
officer of The day, and the following
dialogue ensued
Whats your name ?"
my names Sam
Sam what ?"
"No, sab, not Sam Watt; Use just
Sam"
whats your other name ?"
81 hasn't got no oder name, sab !
Use Sandals all"
"What's your masters name?"
'I'se got no massa now-massa run
ned away. Yah ! Yah Use free"
We'll, what's your father and
mothers name p
"I'se got none, sab -ueber had
none. Use just Sam amt nobody
else"
Haven't you any brothers and sis
tiers ?"
"No, sah-neber had none. No
brudders, no sisters, no fader, no mud
der, no massa. Nothin but Sam.
When you see Sam you see all dere
is of u.s."

Saving a Life.

An old soldier, lieutenant during
the civil war, was walking down the
streets of a town, when he was accosted
by fellow, half soldier, half beggar,
who made him a most reverential sa-
lutte.
God bless your honor p raid the
man, whose sp' oh betrayed him for
all Irisbman "God bless you, aud
long life to you!"
allow do you know mef" sid the
lieutenant.
SIS it how do I know you, your
honor ?" responded Pat. "Good right,
sure, l have to know you who saved
my life in battle"
The lieutenant gratificd at this trib-
ute to his valor, slipped a 'fr y-cent
piece into the fellows hand, and asked
bin when.
