Here is story that is not altogether
new. but some Of YOU may find it SO.
1t is told of sea captain, who COM
manded ship sailing from New York.
On one occasion the ship caught, fire,
and the passengers and crew were COM
peeled to take hurriedly to the boats.
The captain remained perfectly cool
throughout all the confusion and fright
of the embarkation, and at last every
one except himself was got safely into
the boats.
By the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hurry
ing down the ladder, the captain called
ont to the sailors to hold on minute,
and, taking cigar from his pocket,
coolly lighted it with a bit OF burning
shroud that had fallen from the rigging
ut his feet. Then he descended with
deliberation and gave the order to push
off.
aHow could you stop to light cigar
at snch a moment ?" he was asked after
ward when some Of the passengers
we're talking over their escape.
aRecause." he answered, II saw that
# 7 did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be panic, and oyercrowaed
as il was. there was danger OF its being
inset The act took but moment

body You all forgot yourselves be-
cause YOU were thinking abont my !

Speaking of literal obedience" OBJ
served Judge Huxley. of Denver, II
once had a bailiff in my court who
would bow in that respect to no one.
Expecting one afternoon that my wife
would call on me in my chamber to
sign some papers. I instructed my
bailiff to admit no one. A short time
afterward 1 heard some one try the in
ner door and then the quick steps OF
my bailiff hurrying to intercept an en-
trance. There was woman's voice
which recognized as my wife's, whom
I supposed the bailiff knew, inquiring
for me. But the bailiff didn't know her.
His Honor is in,' I heard him say,
but you can't see him. You see,
madam, he gave me strict orders not
to let any ladies into his chamber this
afternoon, because lin stage whisper
his wife is coming and he slammed
the door.
II fastened to the door to set things
to rights, but when 1 had opened it
my wife was going down the steps of
the building, and though | called her
she would not return. That evening
she ate her supper in silence, and not
until the wee sma' hours of the morn
was able to square myself"
"What became of the bailiff ?" Clerk
Kennedy inquired.
aThe bailiff," replied the Judge,
"the bailiff, as we say in politics, re-
signed."-Chicago Post.
