PATTI WAITING HER CUE,
How the songstress Conducts Herself Just
Before Appearing on the Stage.

How the songstress Conducts Herself Just
Before Appearing on the Stage.
New York SUM-
In few moments Conductor Sapio waved
his baton, the curtain rose and the opera be-
gan. Patti was walking up and down the
dressing room with her head thrown back.
She was gargling liquid that looked like
glycerine water in her throat. She always
does this:before see attempts any of those re-
markable flights OF melody that set the great
audiences applauding rapturously. She
tapped her throat when Stage Manager
Parry looked in at her with smile on his
lips. She meant that she was getting her
throat in working shape.
By and by ne led her out upon the stage,
and she stood just behind door waiting her
cue to enter upon the scene. She stopped
gargling her throat with lotion, and shut
her mouth to kiss one of Mr.. Abbey's prin-
cipal women singers. Then she opened her
mouth and began to gargle again.
A group of Italian gentlemen with wide
trousers crowded around her. When a
laughing look came into her eyes they
seized her hand and kissed it fervently.
They were personal friends, and kissed her
hands in the fine italian style OF gallantry
expressing delight that she was feeling quite
well. An instant later she had cleared the
lotion from her throat and had darted out
upon the stage and was pouring ont flood
of tuneful notek

IT WORKS WHILE fOU SDEEP.
Snowman Bnrnum Says Money at Interest Ii
the Best Investment.

Snowman Barnum Says Money at Interest Ii
the Best Investment.
Hon. p. T. Barnum, the famous million
aire Snowman, answers in his usual pointed
and entertaining style:
"BRIDGEPoRT, CONN, April z.
"DEAR S1R-Tne safest plan and the one
most sure of success for the young man
starting in life is to elect the vocation
which is most congenial to his tastes He
should then be careful to keep himself in
good health, for that is the foundation of
success in life-the substratum of fortune.
Shun rum and tobacco. You must have a
clear brain to make money. You cannot
carry on business successfully ii your brain
is muddled and your judgment warped by
intoxicating drink. Keep out of debt.
Debt drags a man down more than anything
else. 1t destroys bis selfrespect and makes
him almost despicable in his own eyes.
Put what money you have and all you
may save in the future at interest where it
will be we'll secured. Real estate is the
most safe of all investments. Money at
interest, with good security, will work more
faithfully than anything else in the world.
1t never stops, day nor night, no matter if
the weather be wet or dry. Engage in one
kind of business only, and stick to it faith
fully until you succeed, or until your e1pe-
rience shows that you should abandon it.
Whatever you engage in, make it your con-
slant aim to he and to have the very best in
your line. When sure that you are in the
right path, persevere. To make money dis
honestly is the hardest thing in life. There
fore, preserve your integrity. Remember
that the road to wealth lies in expending
less than we earn. Truly yours,
"P. T. BARNUM."

HOW SENATORS WRITE.

Mono of Them Come Up to the Standard Set

Washington Post.-
i've been thinkin'," said my old friend,
Uncle Jabey Larrabee, of Illinois, in the
Senate gallery yesterday, "what 'tarnal nom
sense 1t is for us to teach our children how
to write accordin' to rule, for no man ever
got to be great, seems to me, till he un-
learned all them rules an went to wrltin'
accordin' to his own idee of how it should
be done.
Naturally eff we was lookin' fer great
men, we'd come to the United States Senit
to find 'em; so it's wuth while to watch how
these Seniters write. Look at Seniter Dolph
over there now. He's holdin' his pen like
he was afraid somebody was comm to take
it away f'm i'm. See m grip it! An look
how he sets, sort O. quarterin' at his desk
with nothin' but about half of his forearm
restin' on it. You notice he holds his PEN
holder way back most two inches f'm the
pen, and his hand is all clinched up.
''Then there's Seniter Wolcott. He sets
hunched up over his desk with elbows on it
an writes in any fashion that comes
handy. First he writes awhile with his
right hand and then with his left. Jest now
he's holdin' his pen between his thumb and
fingers, but in a minute. like as not, he'll
grab it up between his second an third or
third an fourth fingers an slash right along
s if it was all the same. He amt got rules
enough to put in tea.
"An' Seniter Teller-look at him, sittin'
there writin' like woman on a book in his
lap an holdin' his pen atween his first two
fingers. Look at Seniter HawIey, too,
holdin' his penholder pointln' way off to
the right instead of over mis- shoulder.
Seniter Pierce comes nearer rememberin'
the way he was learnt at school than any
other Seniter there, but even he'd make a
writin' master desperate. for he sticks out
his little finger fer guide an holds his
penholder slantin' way off to the right"

He Brought Down Four RedskIns Who
Were Hard After His Scalp.
Philadelphia Press.l
General Crook and party were riding
along a spur of the Black Hills one day,
some IL years ago. when down on the plain
they caught sight of four mounted Sioux
chasing white man who was astride a
mule. After getting pretty close to the
white man the foremost Indian fired a shot
at which man and mule dropped. Then
the Indians pressed forward, yelling like
fends.
Suddenly the redskins and ponies began
to fall. By the time General Crook and his
party reached the plain all the red men
were down, and the old scout was laughing
like lunatic.
"That's great" said the scout. ITO think
that them cunning Sioux SHOULD be fooled
BY such an old trick p
Three dead Indians lay on the ground, the
fourth was dying. The scout went over to
the chap about to leave for the happy hunt
ing ground and asked:
"Say, red, did you ever see . white man
afore?"
slots of 'em," gasped the brave.
''Didn't yer ever hear O. that old trick?"
"Isu' the pale face wounded2" asked the
dying warrior.
"Not bit," replied the scout. Eyer
didn' come within mile of me. l jess
gave the old mule the hunch to squat and
down he squat. Twas jess to draw yer on.
Your pards are dead, and you won't live
long. I hate like the old scratch to hurt
dying Injun's feeling. but it was enough to
kill to see you ducks open your eyes when I
began to pop. Funniest thing ever seen."
The poor Indian gazed at the old scout for
a few moments; put his hand to his fore
head as if in deep thought. then closed his
ewes and died.

piece of property that would rent for more
than enough to pay the taxes upon it and
the interest upon the mortgage you would
have to give. This surplus you could save,
in addition to what you are now saving out
of your wages, and you could apply II 70
paying off the mortgage. NY answer there
fore, to the first question contained In your
letter is that real estate is the best invest
ment for small savings to make them the
basis of fortune.
"I know of no better way for young man,
just starting in life, to become rich than to
be always sober, honest, industrious and
economical, to be true to his employers and
himself; to save all he can without being
parsImonious, and to invest his savings
judiciously in the way have indicated.
