He was very rough in his treatment, but I
was so much the taller of the "two that he
could not club me, having forgotten to bring
his step ladder With him. His language
was earnest and yet highly ornamental.
He spoke in the patois of the canaille of
Limerick. He now jerked me to and fro
and rudely hustled me. Inspector Steers
and Williams both saw it all, as I after
ward learned, but whenever Hooked toward
them, they were earnestly looking at the fire.
So were Messrs. Crawford and Hastings.
I told Signor O'Rourke that / came of q
good family, and though had been inside
the lines 1 had not been robbing the dead.
But he was excited and flushed, intoxicated
by his own breath, no doubt, and so he
hustled me some more. The immense crowd
seemed to enjoy it, and heard a newsboY
say, "Yay, Billyp was now outside the
lines, and one would have thought that the
cop would have let me alone, but he kept
on conversing with me till one of the news

Giavoni O'Rourke in way that made my
blood run cold. then escaped, and though
encored by 5000 or 1000 people, I refused
to go back. When I got home found q
large dint in silver dollar in my pocket,
which had in some way been struck by the
policeman. It is not the first time that q
dollar has saved my life under similar cir
cumstances.
GATHERING NEWS.
But to return to the subject The picture
papers have so faithfully reproduced the
portraits of so many well-known men from
time to time that at very unexpected mo-
ments we come upon those whose names are
identified with the history of the country in
some way or other.
Starting out on pleasant day by myself,
with large pad of paper and soft medium
pencil, the old reportorial instinct came
back with three-fold power as 1 journeyed
onward, and concluded to accumulate a
column of bright, newsy personals" for the
paper, using my acquaintance, of course,
where had any, and relying upon nv gen.
tie aplomb and naivette where I had not. I
was thus enabled to secure the following
local items of interest, which have iotted
down in the simplest and most straightfor-
ward manner:
Squire Cleveland is having a new and
natty sign painted for his Office down town.
He will practice in all the courts of New
York and elsewhere. Collections promptly
attended to and pensions secured at nomi-
nal fee. Convevaneing done, deeds drawn,
also salaries. Notary public. Also good
house for rent. Mr.. Albert Bierstadt is
painting the sign. 1t is la la.
Brother George W. Curtis, of Hdrper's
Weekly, is still quite lame. His knee was
injured last summer while he was engaged
in playing lawn tennis at West Brighton,
Staten Island, where he lives. The knee is
still very weak, and so. Mr.. Curtis walks
very little. Lawn tennis is one of the most
dangerous enemies with which civil service
has to deal.

Now, ouida works very hard, as she as
writing several plays. Of course much can
be expected of her, as she is unique in pas
sionate dramatic power, and her novels con-
tain many stirring scenes and speeches. Of
course, the construction of play and the
construction of a book are two different
things. Many of her best works have. been
dramatized by other authors with success,
and it is hoped that she will bring new fire
and passion to the modern stage, which has
grown domestic and metaphysical to the
verge of stupidity. ouida can preach great

Good Counsel.

How true it is, as the Practical
Mechanic says, thousands start well,
but never finish one thing at time.
They have a dozen things on hand
and no one completed. Time Is
wasted on unfinished work. Always
finish what you begin One thing
finished is worth q hundred half
done. The completion of an under
taking yields more pleasure and profit
than dozens of plans. The man who
is always planning or scheming
is rarely, if ever, successful. He
often furnishes ideas for others, who
go persistently to work and finish
what his ideas suggested. THAT was
my idea-my plan," we frequently
hear some one say, but the man who
carried it out was the one who bene-
fted himself and others. Do not
begin what you cannot finish. What
you undertake to do, 10, and reap
the reward of your ideas and skill.
This is good advice both in and out
of the shop.
