Hit by a Coincidence.

The owner of a place on Second
avenue stood in his barn door ON the
alley the other day when man with
a wooden leg and crutch came along
and passed the time o. day and finally
said:
Say, want you to do me favor.
l want 10 leave my leg with you for a
few minutes"s
WHY"
81 want TO go around ON Second
avenue and work a house for half
a dollar i'll money. I've got pointer
that the folks are very sympathetic.
If go with one leg I'm sure Of it,"
Very well; just leave your leg here
and I'll take care of ii"
The wooden substitute was unstrap-
ped and handed over, and the cripple
used the crutch to help himself down
the alley. Five minutes later he rang
the doorbell of a house around the av-
enue, to have it opened by the man he
had seen at the barn.
'W-wha-what" he gasped in as
constituent.
VERY sympathetic family lives
herep quitely replied the other. .You
seem to have met with sad loss, and
I'm anxious to help you. Here is a
wooden leg which may lit you.
The leg was handed over, the man
sat down on the steps and strapped il
on, and as he got up and stumped
through the gate, he said to himself:

History of a Damaged Nickel.

About year ago some wag pol
ished off nickel till it only resem-
bled the coin of the realm in size and
color. After it had dropped into the
bottom of the bobtail car box, the
driver eyed it suspiciously, and evil
IDENTIFY thinking the other side of the
coin might be all right, he gave the
decisive pull and let it pass. From
that time to this the company has
been endeavoring to get that nickel
back on the rascally public. But,
strange to say, every man who tears
open the little envelope containing
it and its companion piece always
chucks the smooth nickel back into
the box. Of course no driver can
now complain, because the coin al
ways comes out of the company's
package. During its first year of SER
vice it has taken about twenty-one
hundred and ninety trips, and as it
is getting thinner and smoother all
the time, there is now no hope of its
ever escaping street car service, ex-
cept through the romantic charity of
some kind deliverer, or through the
final dissolution of the company cor
poration. Baltimore American.

A Cheyenne Knights Speech at the
Big ConcIaye.

W hsllllBbOh Onh-l
In the grand encampment on Thursday.
when the motion was pending to substi'
tute Denver for Louisville as the next
place of holding the triennial conclave.
Eminent Sir John G. Baird of Wyoming,
made a beautiful point on one of the
prominent attractions of Colorado. 1t
is the first known reference to the mount
as being a Templar shrine. The following
is the conclusion of the Sir Knights
speech:
But nature itself designed Colorado
for a Templar shrine. If you meet in
Denver you will marshal your banners
almost under the very shadow of that
grand and sacred old mountain over
which the morning stars sang together
at the dawn of earth's creation High
on its beetling crest, and facing to the
East, the chief symbol of our order
glistens with the purest crystals of ever
lasting snow. Nowhere does nature
more sweetly reflect to heaven the faith of
earth than from these respondent gems
that adore the passion cross of that grand
est Of all Templar shrines, the Mount of
the Holy Cross"

THE PLAY OF THE SEASON.
"Mr. Barnes of New York'' by a Fine
Company Monday.

At the opera house Monday night, Oct.
81, Frank w. Sanger's Broadway Thea
ter company will present Mr.. A. G. Gun
tsr's dramatization of his own novel, Ar.
Barnes Of Nel1 York, and the advance
sale indicates a most cordial welcome to
Mr.. Barnes on this his first visit.
The Denver Nelos of last Thursday con
tanned the following comments upon the
appearance of this same company in hat
city the night previous:
Mr.. Barnes of Net0 York, the drama
tization of that novel, was given to a
large house last.evening at the Metropoli-
tan and was a decided success, considered
both from a dramatic and scenic stand
point. The play is powerfully dramatic,
as might be expected, and the five acts
into which it has been divided TEEN with
incidents. The scenes are realistically
beautiful, that of the duel on the beach
being particularly SO, the blue waters of
the Mediterranean being artIscally repre-
sented, as well as the Italian inn. The
company, which may be regarded as a
stock company of the Broadway theater,
is well balanced and its selection has been
creditable in Judgment. 1t may be said,
in passing, that Miss Emily Rigl, who
takes the part OF Marina Paoli, was Sc
lected on the suggestion of Mr.. Gunter
and has proved a wise one. This part is
an intensely dramatic one, played by Miss
Rigl with a freedom from exaggesation
and yet with a power that is moving.
