through my green foil eyes.
THE MISER SCARED.
The old miser seemed to have grown
to the floor; he must have stood for
thirty seconds without breathing. Final
ly his breath came with gasp and a
gurgle. With one hand gently shook
that forked tail, the end Of which was
standing on a level with my head.
Raising my arm slowly leveled at him
the long red foil tipped finger. With
gasp he rushed for the door. AS he
reached it stood erect, my back to the
fire, scratching my ear with the tip of
my tail. The old man gave one glance
over his shoulder, and, with an un-
earthly scream, fell against the door,
and seemed trying to push it through;
toward him, and he gave another screech
and tried to jump through the transom.
At that moment Tom Davey, my
roommate, pushed the door open and
the old man fell across the threshold.
He gathered himself quickly and flew
wildly into the hall. I explained the
situation briefly to Davey. Opening the
door he looked down to where the main
hallway intercepted the main hall. In
fit of wild extravaganza the miser had
turned the gas full on and stood staring
in the direction of our door. The old
man motioned to Tom and asked whether
he had seen anybody in the room. Tom
assured him that there was no one in the
room. "What! Nothing at all?" "Noth-
ing at ALL answered Tom. The old man
stared at him vacantly for a moment
and then sneaked down to the Office,
keeping one eye over his shoulder.
1t is said that for year or two after
ward he never entered an actors room to
turn down the gas Or rob the woodbox;
but gradually the force of habit became
stronger than the terrors Of memory. A
few years ago he died miserably, leaving
millions for others to squander.-Atlanta

The Latest Popular Game.

It need not surprise any one to drop
into an evening gathering or a quiet
home circle and find people who wear
spectacles across their noses and carry
dignity by the ton trying to snap row
Of ivory chips into little wooden cup.
That is the new game, christened fiddle
dy winks. It requires a small wooden
cup called wink pot and two dozen
bone or ivory chips called winks, also
four larger ones about the size of an old
fashioned pants button, known as fiddle
dies, There is cushion to snap the
chips upon, or you can spread small
square of Brussels carpeting under the
tablecloth, which answers just as well
if not better. The trick Is to snap the
winks into the wink pot by means of the
tiddledies held between the thumb and
finger, the winks lying flat on the cush-
ion or table. This is the game of the
season-the great social snap, so to speak.
There are two or three ways of playing
and keeping tally of the game. Ever
tried it?-Springfeld (Mass.) Homestead.

THE WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE.
1t VIII Come Over the Union Bridge Into
the City.

The annual report of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie, just issued, states that
the Wheeling division was completed at
the close of October, 1889. to 4 point
near the Ohio river, but operations have
been conducted only to the lower coal
mines of the company at Laurclton,
pending the completion of connections
across the Ohioriver The Union bridge
at Wheeling, which has been under con-
Struction for several years, is now APP
preaching completion, and will extend
from Il junction with this company's
tracks, across the river through the
city. This bridge is by its charter com
PEELED to open its tracks to all railway
companies on equal terms, and this COM
pany may therefore expect by the first
Of January 10 have a connection by way
of its tracks into the city of Wheeling
and beyond.
The above official statement ought 10
put an end to all the loose talk which
has been floating around this commun-
ity for some months about the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie not coming into
Wheeling. or going around some other
way They will come in. and further
than that, the Union Bridge Company
is building 4 hundred thousand dollar
steel treStle TO give them facilities for
coming. That does not look like "be-
ing compelled"

calculations OF surprise, and number
of members crowded about him ana

business with all his old vim.
The First Branch got a quorum to-
gether on the stroke OF eight, ana

waiting for the lower house to announce
the presence of the necessary thirteen
members
In the Second Branch business was
commenced by reading the regular
financial report of the City Clerk, which
showed total expenditure OF S33O,4l2.-

and helped.
