A turfman once bet some comrades
$500, says the San Francisco Argonaut,
that he could borrow $1,000 from one
Isaacs, Jew monoy-lender, on his
personal recognizances. Tho crowd
went together. "Mr. Isaacs," said he,
"theso gen tlemen havo bot mo $500 that
] can not borrow 81 900 of you. do not
need tho money, but want you to let
mo havo it for ono day only, and I'll
divide the bot with you." Tho effect
was not what he looked for. Instead of
jumping at the chance to mako $3.50
Isaacs looked at tho turfman, thcn ut tho
committee (who wore confoundod at tho
cool swindle, for SO they termed it) and
finally ho buttonholod tho borrower and
said: did you bot $500 you could borrow
tho money of MOP" That's what I
did" ''Thon," said 1saacs, 10 O whis.

A FAIR sEGGAR'S PLEA.
She Wanted a Dress with n Train, and
30 She Asked For 1t.

30 She Asked For 1t.
But the most remarkable appeal was
to come, writes a lady of charitable dis
position in the Christian Union. 1 was
hurrying to mako myself ready for after
noon guests on the day that I had set
aside for receiving friends, when word
came to me that a lady wished to speak
to me upon urgent business, begging
that would sec her, no matter what my
engagements might DO.
Feeling that it was case of life and
death, hastcned to the reception-room
with my heart in fluttcr of excite
mont, wondering what new tale of woe
awaited me.
AS l supposed, the lady arose to meet
me, and in an anxious tone, and looking
suspiciously around, she said: II wish
to speak to you alone upon very impor-
tant business. Will you be kind enough
to close all the doors?"
She was well-dressed, rather lady
like looking person of about thirty-five;
her language was quite elegant and i'm
pressive.
81 address a lady," she began; zone
who will understand my position and
appreciate the necessity of my case"
to the vital character of the interview,
Tor L thought it was only some deep ex.
perience that would warrant such an in
PRODUCTION.
II Ialso am lady, and fit to associate
with the best in the land, but fate has
compelled mo to do something for
livelihood, and have chosen the posi-
tion of lady's companion as being best
adapted to my refined tastes and require
ments, and though say it who should
not, am ablo to fill any place; but of
course it is quito necessary that should
make suitable appearance, and my
wardrobe is good enough for all ordi-
nary purposes, but 1 have no dress for
those occasions whoro a lady is expected
to make very digniflcd and graceful
appearance. In short, I must confess to
you that have no dress with train,
and you know as we'll as I how much
more lady is respected who has a train
to her dress, c8reciaiy by the foreign
persuasion, that is, the servants of o
fine house such as I am fitted to adorn.
81 have one dress which l think
could be converted by an artistic dress
maker into train. / feel competent
myself to make plain skirt, but / real
ly do not feel equal to the perfect ad-
justment of train, and havo not the
money to procure q skilled artist, and,
knowing your sympathy with all who
wish to make tho most and best Of
themselves, folt that it would be only
