The Funny AIan,s Fase.

The funny man sat lie his htrd-bot-
toned chair. trying to think up COAX
his features were drawn as in pam or
despair: he looked like ne hank ,red to
croak. He had wrote for the paper full
many jag. and his humor was often
sublime; but once in while he had
worked In gag which would aim ost con-
vict him for crime. ''Ah, me, for cot
in some wilderness vast" he moaned in
low. erief-sodden tones, while briny
tear was from his eye-winkers cast, and a
sob shook his lank. skinny bones. He
had joked on the weather, the ice men so
sad, his mother-in-law, and the goat; he
had touched up the cranks who threw
mud at the bridge. till his squibs we're too
heavy to float. He had roasted the dude,
he had plucked the 'loose hair till his
readers were bald-headed too. and as be
sat there In his cobwebby lair. he more
and more desperate grew. A. last he
seemed calm-he had thought ais last
joke, and wan smile crept into his face /;
he busted the table. and lay down and
died. God bless himi ReQVidscat in

One OF the last official acts OF the late
Capt John G.. Scott and the last licsI sc
ever issued by him was one without a
parallel In the Galena or any other dis-
trict OF the United States.
IL was a mates license issued TO Mrs.
Mary Simmons, OF Helena, Ark. she hav.
ing previously stood successful exami-
nation and duly signed by Capt. Scott
and by him for Capt. r. W. Burns. who
was III. The happy holder Of the license
Is now ply ing her vocation on the lower
Mississippi and she stands without a
rival. the only female mate in the United
States. The license was issued on De-
cember IA
But the fact ia OF additional interest
the lady being one who Is well known to
many Galenians. She is the wife OF Capt
W. W. Simmons, brother Of Henry
Simmons, OF Galena, a man well known
on the upper river and in this city where
he was born and reared. She Is the
daughter Of James Owens, OF West Ga
lena. and has been married several wears.
She IL only twenty-four years OF age and
has lived continuously on the river for
eight years, and is perfectly acquainted
with all the details of the management OF
steamboats,. Her husband is captain of
the transfer F. Joy, owned and run by
the Linehsn Ferry company OF Memphis.
Tenn. Mrs. Simmons applied for mas
ter's license. but owing to a recent act OF
congress requiring years experience as
mate before one was qualified as master
she was unable to procure license. She
will serve her apprenticeship for the year
on the transfer boat Jov. Of which her
husband is captain.
In making out the license the uniqu O.
ness OF the affair required Capt. Scott to
make number OF changes In the pre-
scribed form. Mrs. Simmons swore to
being native of the United States, in
stead OF a'citizen, as those of the sterner
sex are required TO do. Several 'hims' In
the form were also changed to tally with
the sex OF the license.
The Memphis Appeal describes Mrs.
Simmons as an attractive womnn who
understands every point of her business.
