An old Scotchman, Andrew Leslie,
always rode a donkey to his work,
and tethered him out TO feed while he
labored on the road, or wherever else
he might be. Finally, gentleman

peoples expense.

One day, however, the same gen

when he saw Andrew Leslie at work,
and his donkey up TO his knees in one
of his own clover fields, feeding lux

the vaquero, who seemed afraid of
the animal, and smilingly challenged
him to throw rope over the animal s
head and ride him. The vaquero de-
elined with thanks, Miss Lucas then
displayed piece of courage and dar-
ing worthy of the ancient Roman

went up to the bound and believing

around his head and neck, and then
told the vaquero to let him loose.
This he did reluctantly, and the en-
ragged steer was quickly on its feet,
but equally as quick the fearless lass
was on its back. Then commenced a
ride that is rarely witnessed. For
half an hour the wild chase and ride
was continued-over hill and dale,

steer gave completely out and the
triumphant girl led her captive to the

Too Many Partners.

Col. Groover tells a story of how ono
night he was going from Athens to
Augusta with Col. Pope Barrow, and
Harry Hill, one Of the best known
conductors in Georgia, was on the
road. When Hill went to set down
his lantern its beams fell on the face
of fellow under the seat. The fellow
at once crawled out and said: "Well,
boss, / acknowledge the corn; / was
trying to beat my way. / have no
money; you will have to put me off. "
Col Barrow and few others decided
to pay his fare as reward for his
cheek and sangfroid.
On the next round Hill happened to
set his lantern down near the same
spot, when he found another fellow,
who crawled out and said: "Well, you
have me, too am the other mans
partner"
Again the hat went around, and the
boys Clipped in to pay his fare. At
this three other fellows that had been
hid, and thought that general collecr
ton was IN order, came from their
hiding places. This was too much for
good nature. Everybody laughed,

Three Big Bugs.

Charlie Smiley, of the Claxton com

Of a street gamin who held out his
ragged cap before Lord Randolph
Churchill and Sir Charles Beresford
as they came slowly down the steps of
London club. "What are you beg
ging for, boy2" asked Beresford, as he
noticed the little fellow. The boy
said he had nothing else to do. ''See
here, said Lord Randolph, IF you'll
take that stone and hit that policeman
in the back of the head I'll give you
half crown" Nothing loath the boy
picked up Il stone and let her 90. His
aim was true and the bobby" turned
in wrath, chased the gamin and cap
tured him. Shaking Linn savagely lie
demanded why he should insult the
majesty of the law as represented in
his person SO grossly. The boy
whined that the two gentlemen, who
were looking OH very much amused,
had offered him half q crown to do it,
and he would give him one and six of
it if he would release him. Dragging
the boy up to the two men he demanded
to know what they meant, and asked
their names. Sir Charles Beresford
handed the "bobby" his card, Whom
he read 1t he humbly touched his hat
and begged pardon. Then he asked
Sir Randolph Churchill's name. He,
too, handed his card, and its perusal
had the same effect. "You great gents
must have your larks," ho said, touch

turning to the gamin, whats your

after eyeing the great men, and said,

The Ticket "SraIncr.u -

The class of business men formerly
called "scalpers" are looked upon to-
day by railway arrangements and the
travelling public generally as indis-
pensable TO the business of one and
the convenience of the other Ticket
brokers are now numbered by the
hundreds. So far as | can learn, tho
original "scalper" was Lansing, Of
Baltimore, the president of the largest
Of the national associations of ticket
brokers. He was, fifteen years ago, q
hotel clerk in Baltimore, and when
thus engaged it frequently fell into
his line to buy at a bargain and sell at
profit unused portions Of railroad
tickets He saw there was money in
the BUSINESS, and hung out sign,
Railroad tickets bought, sold or ex-
changed" At once he had imitators
throughout the east and from the
peddling of unused portions Of tickets
grew the present far reaching system,
for it must be understood that If the
business ii the ticket broker was con-
fined to the sale of return coupons,
etc, one man could do all the business
done in ST. Louis, and hc would starve

HUMAN FRIENDSHIP REFRESHING.


How refreshing is human friend

treasures! When sickness comes. and
trouble comes, and death comes we
send for our friends first of all, and
their appearance in our doorway in
any crisis is reinforcement, and when
they have entered, we say: Now it
is all right" Oh, what would we do
without friends, personal friends, bust
ness friends, family friends2 But we
want something mi ghtier than human
friendship in the great exigencies.

Cyclamens are In full bloom, the
seeds of which were sown in Novem-
Der, 1887, fourteen months from the
time the seeds we're put In the ground
AS soon as largo enough to handle,
the seedlings were transplanted about
an inch apart in shallow paus, where
they remained until they had pro
duced several leaves, after which they
were put singly into two inch pots.
and shifted into larger sizes as their
need required, until August, when
they were given their final shift into
five and six inch pots, according to
size. The soil used was two parts
fibrous loan and one part thoroughly
decomposed COW manure; to this was
added sufficient sand TO insure the FREQ
passage of the water. Good drainage
was given and during summer they
were kept in well shaded green
house. They had an unchecked but
slow growth from the time of veQe-
tation until their flowers were pro
duced.
Some people always prefer plants IN
pots, even ii they are not troubled for
want of room, and now hardy peren-
malls are gaining so IN popularity they
can be grown with little or no heat,
and some stand forcing to perfection.
