Fierce and Tickle.

When John Snowden was a boy he
always had hobby. One winter it
was coins. and he daily tormented
every shopkeeper in the village for odd
specimens in the spring it was pigeons:
he sold all his coins, begged and bor-
rowed money from all of the family to
buy fan-tails and rare breeds for his
dove-cotes.
Then he suddenly took fancy to col
lect autographs. The pigeons were
neglected, and either died or were
stolen. John was busy in mailing
piteous appeals to every man or WON
an of distinction in Europe or America
to write their names on blank cards for
him.
He was succeeding very well when
the pursuit lost all interest for him.
He bought printing! Now he
besieged all his friends for orders
~Bill-heads, labels and cards, executed
with neatness and dispatch" Before he
had executed the orders, however, the
delight Of type-setting palled upon
him, and he gave it up.
When John grew to be man he was
violent Abolitionist for q few years.

Didn't Work That Way.

"Most gamblers have their supersti-
tons, and [ used to have mine," re-
marked an old sporting man to the re-
porter. But I was once cured. It
happened this way. You know it is
supposed to bring a man luck if he
gives anything to beggar. About
five years ago 1 was playing in about
the hardest luck a man ever had. 1

suit, Northumberland new hat. That
was about all. The day before I had
my last bill broken and was living on
the loose change.
Il was walking down 4th ave. from
23d street in the evening with my
hands in my pockets and large round
vacancy In my stomach, where my
dinner ought to have been, when saw
woman leaning against the railing of
church. It was nearly 9 o'clock aud
she was alone. She was well dressed,
and looked like working woman. I
made up my mind in less than second
that she was in distress, and the idea
occurred to me that if I gave her some
money it might change my luck. So
walked up to her and said politely:
I" is there anything can do for you.
my good woman?'
"She started as if she didn't under
stand me, and I continued kindly:
"'Can I be of any use to you. Do
you want any money!
"She slowly came out from the
shadow and stood under the gaslight.
She was as tall as 1 am and looked
twice as strong.
Dye intend to insult me p she be-
gan, growing louder and more excited
at every word. What dye take me

ChicagO'S Millionaire.

The man who told me this story had
something to say about "Old Hutch, !"
Of course. never talked to Board
hearing something about the remarka-
BILE old man. He seems to be as per-
sistent in getting into mems minds
and on their tongues as was Charles
I. in Mr.. Dicks Memoirs. This man
said:
you can find old Hutch on one of
the stools at a cheap lunch-counter
down near the Board every morning of
the week. Goes in there regularly and
orders two soft-boiled eggs and rolls,
and he looks at the check as closely as
any poor clerk in town. How's that
for man with his money? Millions
and millions of wealth, and eating Is
or 20 cent breakfast. But that's his
style. He surprised me the other day.
As long as I've been around the Board,
I never saw old Hutch wear any
thing but black SLOUGH hat; but the
other day he appeared with one of the
new-style straws with straight, stiff
brim. Nobody could look at him with
out smiling, and the old man <tumbled'
and only wore it one day. He doesn't
care for dress, or comfort, or good liv-
ing, anyway. He has just one passion
in life, and that's gambling. He is the
first man on the floor of the Board
always, and the last one to leave it.
Imagine, if you can, the supreme de-
light to such a man of running cor
ner such as he manipulated last De-
cember. But he's almost parsimonious
in his daily life. 1 saw him at
the theater one time alone, sitting
in parquet seat without soul to talk
to. He's oner; that's what he is

No Ink.

There is no necessary connection be-
tween nearsightedness and q quick
temper, but something is to be allowed,
perhaps, to a man who is at the same
time overheated, out of breath, and
badly disappointed. The Boston Cour-
Ter reports that such man came into
q friends Office one hot day. "I've lost
nv train" he exclaimed, angrily. Il
nearly killed myself trying to get it.,
and then was just in time to see it 20
out of the station.
sLet me sit here and write note,
won't you?" he added, as he mopped
his forehead. "I1l run down to Nahant
to nv daughters for the night, and
must send word home that I'm not
coming"
Certainly" his friend responded;
ssit down at that table. Everything
you want is there. Excuse me if go
on with my work; I'm rushing to get
through for the four o'clock train"
The near-sighted man sat down, Sc
lected his paper and pen, and began to
write. The exercise was attended with
frequent EXPLANATIONS, but of these his
friend took no notice until the visitor
broke out angrily:
why don't you have some ink in
the ink-stand ?"
cts FULL" was the answer! give
just been writing there myself"
"Then this abominable heat has
dried it all up. There isn't drop
here"
The busy host got up to investigate.
In front of the inkstand lay pen
wiper of black cloth, and into this the
nearsighted man was diligently dipping
his pen. The host took it out of the
way.
Il have no doubt" he remarked,
"that in looking glass land they wipe
their pens first and use them after
ward, but here the other order of things
is preferred.
The visitor looked at him in speech
less rage. Then he sprang to his feet,
seized his hat, and rushed out of the
Office, saying something not altogether
audible about man who keeps a pen
wiper to fool his friends with in such
weather as this"
It is relief to know that he made a
handsome apology on the following
day.

Then he lost all interest in the slaves
and became an ardent vegetarian, who
tormented all his friends and acquaint-
ances by appealing to them to give up
meat and live with him on fruits and
vegetables. This hobby lasted but 9
year, when he took up the cause OF
woman suffrage, and quarrelled with
every one who did not agree with him.
Since that he has been, by turns,
leader among the Spiritualists and the
Iheosophists, and is now-for the mo-
ment-a vehement Ritualist.
He is good, sincere, well meaning
man, anxious to find the truth and to
draw all men with him to find it.
But he draws them with such vehem-
ence that his friends avoid him ID
terror.
A rational man does not object to be
pulled by steam-engine, provided he
is pulled in one direction and that the
right one. But he will not consent to be
ierked hither and thither as by the
vagaries of restless wind.
John Snowden's temperament and
habit of thought are very common in
the world. The life and usefulness of
many strong, conscientious man have
been paralyzed by them.
If any of our boy-readers find that
they are already inclined to mount a
hobby and ride it rough-shod over
other people, let them take warning. It
will not be possible, perhaps, for them
to curb or cool their zeal. Let them
indulge it, remembering, however, that
their brothers and classmates have a
right to hobbies of their own, and
should not be forced to mount behind
theirs.
When their zeal begins to flag, too.
let them spur it and force it to continue
in the same path. The man who is ar
dent in the pursuit of one object is sue
cessful. The man who is jealous in the
pursuit of o dozen soon ranks as a
feather-headed fool among other men.
