Will Deal With His Own People

A thrifty but obtuse German. who
owns a small farm out in Jefferson,
has decided recently that he will only
deal with his own people in the future.
Not long ago a Connecticut man pur-
chased Il farm next to his, and one day
he bought a sheep of his German neigh
Dor, agreeing to pay him for it in thir-
tv days. About two weeks later he
called on the German and traded him
the sheep for a hog, AT the end of the
month the German went around after
his money. Money for what?" asked
the Yank. IVY, fer de sheep" replied
the German. "Why, you've got your
sheep" said the Connecticut man. Il
traded him with you for hog, didn't
l?' The German nodded and then
asked for pay for the hog. ''Why
should pay you for the hog" asked
the Yankee. ''when l traded you the
sheep for him?n The German looked
bewildered and said he must have pay
for the sheep. Now, why should L
pay you for what l haven't got?" ask
ed his neighbor. 'Vell, den | want pay
yer my hog" The Yankee smiled
compassionately "Didn't you trade
me the hog for the sheep?" he asked.
The German nodded. looked tired, and
said: DOTS - of way to do piz-
ness!n Hereafter he will deal with his
own people Chicago Herald.

HANNIBAL HAMLtN'S SHOT.
How the Vice.President istonisIicda AZ Gov
ern.nent lsosS.

A story is told of an incident of the
War which took place 1T PuShaw Pond,
then as now famous fishing resort fol
Bangorians. Early in the strife the
Government secured gums and cannon
wherever it conld. and every private
foundry and machine shop in the land
was pressed into service 10 produce
weapons with which to arm the yoluu-
teers. Thus it was that the old Bangor
firm of Hinckley & Egerv became en-
gagged in the work. The story goes
that at one time they had contracts TO
make and did make some cannon.
When ready for service these were
taken out to Pushaw and to Perch
House Landing. the understanding be-
inc that if Dollar Island, three-quarters
OF n mile away and about an eighth OF
a mile long, could be hit by ball from
one Of the new guns they would be ac-
cepted by the authorities. A Bangor
man had charge Of the practice and
really felt he was the biggest gun
there. as he represented the Govern
nent.
Now it SO happened that the War
Hamlin, arrived home that DAY. and rs
he was Jealous in everything pertain
ing to the country's welfare he drove
out to PushaW to witness the proceed
lngs, and for some was an Interested
spectator of tile vain attempts to hit
the island. thou IN it was plain to be
seen the cannon could project "a ball
twice that distance. As the tale istold
1t Is evident there was too much cider
n the-rear of the guns. rendering the
aim faulty.
After the guns had been loaded and
discharged several times Mr.. Hamlin
joined the amateur artillerymen, sighted
over one cannon and aimed it, after
which it was discharged. The aim was
trae and the ball skimming the waters
surface, struck the island at the water
line. a point always aimed at in actual
warfare and when bombarding ships
The Government boss was down by
the waters edge when the report came,
and when lie saw how true the aim had
been he took umbrage. as he had previ-
ousiy sighted the gun, and with that
dignity which men clothed with tenn
porary authority often assume strobe
back to the cannon. With au oath he
wanted to know who had been fooling
with the cannon, and was told that
cold fellow up on the grass" did it.
Hither he went, approaching Mr.. Ham,
lin from behind, and as he whirled
him about wanted to know why he was
sticking his nose into Government af-
fairs!
Then there came over the face of the
second highest official of the Nation
that quiat but characteristic smile
never seen elsewhere, and which even
the befuddled brain of the Bangor man
recognized. He took second look,
gasped, became sober i'll an instant,
and fled, nor was he again seen in
town until Mr.. Hamlin left it. The
guns were accepted and sent to the
front, where they did good service, but
they were never better aimed than when

1t is a generally conceived opinion
that gentleman walking with lady
should walk on the outer side of the
sidewalk. This idea does very well for
a country town, but in great city
where thousands upon thousands of
people. all in more or less of hurry,
are continually passing. it is very
poor rule to follow One writer on the
subject says: The duty of q gentle
man is to protect the lady he is walk
ing with; to take oil the hard knocks,
jostles, and possible umbrella tips to
himself. shielding the weaker vessel
from many disagreeables. and to do
this she must invariably be on the gem
tleman's right side, where she can
promenade at her ease guarded by his
manly form, and not being obliged
one-half of the time to take all the
buffs and rebuffs constantly recurring
in a crowded thoroughfare. Now, if
some of the social leaders of this city
were to take the establishment of this
custom into their hands it would not
be long before Boston could boast of a
fad that would be great benefit to the
ladies of the community, and one that
| hope to see 4 recognized custom in
the course of not great number of
years. S.-B0stoa IrGreter

What Women Like in Men.

Women, I think, like manly, not
lady-like men.
They like honesty of purpose and
consideration.
They like men who believe in wo-
men.
They like their opinions to be thought
of some value.
They like a man who can be strong
as a lion when troubles comes, and
yet, if one is nervous and tired can
button up a shoe and do it with an
amount of consideration that is men,
tai and Il physical bracer-up.
They like a man who can take hold
of the baby, convince it of his power
and get it to sleep after they have been
worrying with it and walking with it,
until their eyes are tired and they feel
as if they had no brains.
They like man who is interested in
their new dresses, who can give an
opinion on the tit, and who is properly
indignant at any article written against
women.
They like man who knows their
innocent weaknesses and caters to
them; who will bring home box of
candy, the last new magazine. or the
latest puzzle sold on the street, that
will do more than its duty in enter
tanning everybody for the whole even
ing.
They like man who is the master
of the situation-that is, who has brain
enough to help woman to decide
what is the best thing to do under the
circumstances, and who has wit enough
to realize, when one of the fairer sex
is slightly stubborn, that persuasion is
more powerful than all the arguments
in the world.
They like a man who likes them
who doesn't scorn their opinions, who
believes in good taste, who has conf
dence in their truth, and who, best of
all, knows that the love promised, is
given him.
That's the sort of a mau woman likes,
and her every sigh of satisfaction, as
his virtues are mentioned, is little

DREAMS.
How They Were Peddled in Armfuls by
Some MiscIievous Elves.

Some tiny elves one evening grew mischievous
it seems.
And broke into the storc-rOom where the sand
man keeps his dreams
And gathered up whole armfus of dreams
all bright and sweet,
And started forth TO peddle them a-down the
village street.
Oh, you would never never guess how queer
ly these dreams sod.
Why, nearly all the youngest folk bought
dreams of being old:
And one wee chap in curls and kits, gentle
little thing
Invested in a dream about an awful pirate
king.
A maid. who thought her pretty name old
fashioned and absurd
Bought dreams OF naueS the longest and The
quecrcst ever heard;
And strange to say, a lad who owned all sorts
of costly toys
Bought dreams of selling papers with the
raggedcst Cf boys.
And then dream of summer and a barefoot
boy - play
Was bought up very quickly by Il gentleman
quite gray:
And one old lady, smiling through the grief
she tried to hide.
Bought bright and tender visions of a little
girl who died.
A ragged little beggar-girl, with weary. visit
fu gaze,
Soon chose II Cinderella dream with jewels all
ablaze.
Well. it wasn't many minutes from the time
they came in sight
Before the dreams We're all sold out and the
elves had taken flight.

Queer Franks of Mark Twain.

Whenever Mark Twain has a large
dinner party at his home in Hartford,
SAYS the n. Y. Commercial -Adrertiser,
particularly when he has any English
men for guests. he is in the habit, it is
said, of rising at what he considers the
proper moment, without any warning
or explanation. and beginning set
speech of humorous kind. He usu-
ally occupies from fifteen to twenty
minutes, and does his best to enter
tain and tickle his auditors. Some
times his efforts, always premeditated
and carefully prepared, are highly sue
cessful; sometimes they are not.
Humor cannot be fabricated to order.
But they are invaribly laughed at, of
course. 1t is an absolute requirement
OF common politeness that they should
be, when host demands laughter as
a return for hospitality. Twain likes
to be regarded as eccentric and origin
al; and this is unquestionably original.
No man that | have ever heard of,
either here or abroad, regularly makes
formal speeches at his own table, espe
cially without premonition. Twain
evidently thinks he has a reputation te
sustain and he sustains it in he extra
ordinary manner described. lie might
be funny, if he chose, whi,c keeping
his seat; the position would rot mar
his fun But that would net be suffi-
ciently emphatic to suit him, so he pre-
fers to impress his guests with "A full
consciousness of his premeditated de

CreStS.

The people who invent heraldic
crests and mottos are finding plenty to
do nowadays says n. Y. Letter. The
other day Il man who recently made
a st AXE in n western mine called at
one of their establishments and said:
The girls want some sort of motter, or
crest as they call it. to put on their let
ter paper. | think its all doggoned
foo!ishness, but s long as they want it
they must have it. So want yer to
fix up one o yer most expensive crests,
like what them English docks and
counts have. aud send the bill to me.
What motter? Well. | don't care
much. i ant pretty, but | get there
all the same, would suit me all right
just throw it into Latin or Greek, and
twine it around the crest"

Florida Fisheries.

The Florida Times Union suggests
that New England fishermen should
turn their attention to the productive
fisheries of the Florida coast Not
only Tampa bay, but all the 1900
miles of Florida coast, teens with null
lets and other species of fish. At Key
West there are untold millions of
supply. Last fall, by seines and gill
nets, $4,000 mullets were taken in
Tampa bay, which were worked into
$4,000 cans of Spanish mackerel. Then
the ''grouper banks" which extend
along the coast, afford facilities for
gathering incalcu able quantities of the
finest fish, which can be taken and can
ned at handsome profit.
