Mr.. Dockery was There.

We were about to leave Louisville
on a down-river steamer, and the
men we're just hosting in the gang
plank, when a tall, slim young man,
with a great deal of cunning in his
composition, leaned on the rail of
the promenade deck, scanned the
crowd of 200 on the levee, and called
out in thin voice:
''Say! is Mr.. Dockery there?.
He isp' promptly replied a voice.
Then tell him I'm coming back in
about week tosandpaper his head!.
1t was intended for a joke, but no
one laughed just at that minute
the gang plank was dropped for
belated passenger, and a man from
the crowd rushed along in to the
boat, lodged upstairs like a monkey
and next minute appeared before the
astonished smart Aleck.
ssSandpaper my head, will you?"
he Missed, as he reached out for hair.
stOh, now, but you aren't Mr.. Dock
ery! shouted the young man.
Aren't I? Don't I know my own
name, you luscious persimmon?
Take that and that and that!''
And he banged him right and left,
lifted him up and down. and ended
by spreading him over the deck as
far as he would reach. Then he
skipped of, to be received with cheers,
while the young man gathered up
the fragments and splinters and re-
tired. He was on the boat three
days with US and during that time
| never saw him but once. Then he
had his head out of his state-room
window to view the scenery on the
Arkansas shore. One of the boys
yelled: 'sDockery!" and the head
vanished, to be seen no more New
York Sun.

Singular Premonitions.

A few minutes after the fall of the

gathering to view the ruins in which
so many mangled and dead people lay
stranger who was gazing at the
wrecked structures from the opposite

conversation with a Dispatch reporter.
He said:
''For about five years on every week

about fifty miles from Toronto with a
large sum of money in my possession.

that night on the o'clock train,
telegraphed to the hotel where usually

served for me and a fire put in it.
When the train came along | got on
the front of the smoking car, walked
through that car. through the next

A Snake 43 Years Old.

Pompey Hooper, an old colored far.
mer, is great coon hunter, and. in
company with two others, he started
out on big hunt. Several raccoons
were caught and the trio, after having
hugely enjoyed the sport. were pre-
pairing to return home when suddenly
the dogs bayed again. Approaching
near to where they were barking, the
three concluded, as they had their
guns with them and were tired of
chopping down trees, to wait until
daylight aud shoot the game. As it
was only short while until dawn, a
fire was accordingly built, and while
his companions produced a deck of
cards with which to while away the
time Pompey stretched himself on the
ground for short nap. Somehow the
old fellow could not sleep, and after
short while he picked up his gun and
lighting pine torch ne walked over
to where the dogs were. Instead of a
tree and coon, he found the hounds
scratching and tearing up the earth
at the base of hollow rock. Think
ing that some animal had taken refuge
in the bowlder, he damned the blazing
torch into the crevice. The old negro's
terror was great when, instead of the
growl which was expected, he heard a
terrible rafting. such as experience
had taught him the rattlesnake gives
only when about to strike. Pompey's
fight with the deadly reptiles last year
had left an impression on his mind.

he says, lone of the biggest rattlers

A Young Woman and Her Pug.

A good story is told on a popular
society young lady who is passionately
fond of the Liliputian variety of the
genius canine. The young lady has
an ugly, snarling, growing little pug
dog, which she has made the idol of
her heart. This young lady went
south some weeks ago, and, fearing
that the rules of the sleeping-car COM
pany might separate her little darling
from her, she adopted clever ruse to
deceive the porter. A full set of baby
clothes was prepared for his pugship,
and on the day of the departure he
was decked out in long skirts. A neat
little hood and a heavy veil completely
concealed his identity. The supposed
young mother was the object of a
great deal of interest to the other
ladies in the sleeper. She was piled
with all sorts of embarrassing inter-
rogatories-"How long have you been
married?" SIS this your firstP"
''Would papa miss his baby boyp" etc.
Everything went we'll during the day
time. The trainmen never suspected
the ruse and were especially attentive
to baby's wants. One old gentleman
passenger said he had been married
thirty years and never had any chill
dren. He would be the proudest man
in the world if he had a little soma
boy like that, madam. You should be
happy woman, madam"
Puggy seemed to appreciate the sit
uation, and he maintained thorough
ly dignitied composure throughout.
When night came everybody wanted
to kiss the baby good night before the
little fellow was tucked away in his
birth, and it required the greatest
diplomacy on the young lady's part to
prevent disastrous consequences. The
veil could not be removed under any
circumstances. Baby was very young
and very delicate, and the doctors
latest Injunction had been: Don't take
off the veil" So everybody kissed
baby through the veil and everybody
went to sleep. About midnight the
car was awakened by violent bark
ing. There was terrible commotion.
Valises and slippers were got ready
for action, and, with the porter in the
lead, the search for the canine intruder
was begun. The offender was located
under lower birth, and, to make a
long story short, was hauled out in
disgrace, baby clothes and all. Next
day was round of chickering's and
explanations. but the remainder of the
trip was not bit enjoyable for the
young lady. She will not take PIGGY
with her any more.-L0uisUttte Com

Peck's ''Bad Boy"

the ''bad boy" is stopping at the
Palmer House. In an interview lie
told how the celebrated ''bad boy"
came into existence. at was a chance
shot," he said. ''My boy came into
the office one day told me how another
lad. a friend of his, had worked" it on
his father. He wrote to his father,
and asked him to meet the writer at
the corner of a certain street in Mil
waukee, and signed the name of a
young lady to the letter. The father
s'bit," and when the evening came for
appointment the old gentleman made
an elaborate toilet, and, after kissing
his wife and children good-by started
off. as he said to attend to some very
important matters OF the lodge. The
son followed and Swallowed the father
for some time as he walked up and
down the street, waiting impatiently
for the young lady to put in an APP
pearance. The lad finally took COM
passion on the old gentleman, and told
him the joke he had played on him.
1t Is needless to say the boy was not
thrashed, but on the other hand ever
after that the father was wonderfully
liberal whenever the son wanted pocket
money.
This story was taken by MIR. Peck,
and after some elaboration was pub
lished as the first "bad boy" story.
Then others, suggested by the ex-
periences of his own youth, followed,
until the ''bad boy" stories grew into
