THE WATER WAS HOT.
A Celebrated Practical Joker Gets the
Tables Turned on Him.

a Celebrated Practical Joker Gets the
Tables Turned on Him.
Young Edward II. Sothern is pretty
nearly as much disposed to practical
Jokes as was his father, who in his day
beat the worlds record in that line, but
the young man has recently had to ac-
knowledge that for once he was over
come. The incident occurred at the
hotel whore Mr.. Sothern was stopping.
A party of his friends were discussing
the laughable and effective scene in the
second act of Lord Chumley," in which
he takes his morning bath behind
screen, and after splashing in bath
tub full of water speaks of the GOODNESS
of the water and his perpleXities in
dressing. The group of his friends fell
into an argument as to whether Sothern
could do the whole thing in nine min
utes, the time which it occupies on the
stage.
The debate eliminated in wager,
the winner to donate stakes to a charit-
able purpose, that Mr.. Sothern could not
enter the bathroom at the hotel robed
only in his dressing-gown, take his
plunge, dress himself as in the play, re-
peating the lines set down in the same
manner as he does each evening, and re-
appear in nine minutes. Mr.. Sothern
thought he could, although he had never
tried it, AT the time appointed the per-
sons interested met Mr.. Sothern in his
room, and while he retired behind a
screen to disrobe for the trial one of the
number volunteered to fill the bath-tub
with water, STIMULATING that at the APP
pointed cue only Mr. Sothern should
plunge into it so as to be thoroughly
submerged. This gentleman was the
one who had wagered that Mr.. Sothern
could not succeed. When all was an
nounced as ready Mr.. Sothern entered
the bath room, partially closing the
door, and proceeded with the lines of the
play, speaking them just as earnestly as
he does on the stage. People who have
seen the play will remember that he
speaks of the water being frozen, his
calling for q hammer to break the ice,
his shivering in contemplation, and then
saying: zone brave plunge, and all is
over" just as he is supposed to dash into
the water.
Sothern made brave jump into the
bath tub at the hotel, and the noise OF
the plunge was distinctly heard outside.
Then came up great and agonizing
wall. oh" shrieked Sothern, 'you
villains have filed this tub with scald
ing water. Never mind. I'll make il
yet, but l will do my shivering outside
Of the tub"
There were shouts of laughter from
the other room, but Mr., Sothern pro
: ceeded with the lines and business O
the scene to the end, and issued from
the bathroom fully dressed and asked
in his usual bland fashion: where
my other slipper" in just seven minute
and three-quarters. But the high colo
in his face was not all due to indigna
ton at the joke played upon him.-Phil

BRIDE OF THE AUTUMN SUN

Oh, golden rod sweet golden rod!
Bride of the Autumn Sun;
Has he kissed thy blossoms this mellow
morn,
And tinged them one by one?
Did the crickets sing at thy christening,
When, in his warm embrace, g.
He gave thee love from his fount above,
And beauty, and cheer, and grace?
lie brightens the nsters, but soon they fade;
He reddens the sumach tree;
And the clematis loses its sunny bloom,
But he's true as truth to thee.
Scattered on mountain top or plain,
Unseen by human eye,
He turns thy fringe to FURNISHED gold
BY loves sweet alchemy. .f ..
And then, when the chill November comes,
And the flowers their work have done,
Thou art still unchanged, dear golden rod,

fri ,pped out of pocket in the
center of the stone, says the Salt Lake
Herald. OF course, the occurrence
created a tremendous sensation among
the workmen, and operations at the
quarry were for a time suspended,
and the movements of the frog were
watched with great interest. The
animal was somewhat smaller than
the ordinary frog, and was perfectly
white. Its eyes were unusually large
and very brilliant, but the frog was
apparently blind. Where the mouth
should have been there was only a
line, and on the feet was dark,
horny substance. Mr.. Everill at once
took charge of the curiosity and put
it in a tin can, but the frog died the
next morning. He brought it down
town, and it was examined with in
terest by a large number of people,
and it was afterward presented TO the
museum, where it will be preserved

Giving Credit.

New England Farmer.
"Just praise is only a debt, but fiat
terry is present" cas-
This article is called forth by one in
the Farm and Homes of August 10th,
from the able pen Of Mr.. Messer
which contained these words:
"a just recognition and acknowl>
edgement of the services of deserving
men, while in the prime of life and
activity would bring hundreds of the
best Class of men to the front and 90
far towards enabling merit instead of
cheek to become the predominant
force in all the avenues of farm and
public life"
These words contain the key to the
uplifting of humanity to its best con-
diti0n and capacities. While finan.
cial credits and business credits gener-
ally are ruinous, on the other hand
there is nothing that helps the world
onward and upward so fast as the
kind of credit to which / refer to.
Too many people are afraid of praise
when it becomes their turn to bestow
it, however much they may wish to
become the recipients of it; and yet
the approval Of the public is the best
encouragement man can have to
stimulate him to further action in
ways that are right. Don't flatter-
that is not what | mean. Never be-
stow sort of hollow, meaningless
praise. But when you see a worthy
act, no matter what it is, be it some
thing that shows clean spot, true
nObleness of heart, don't be afraid to
speak highly of it. Don't be afraid
of making others better than you are
by praise. 1t is means we can all
avail ourselves of for doing some good
to humanity in its facilities.
If you are an employer, don't be
afraid OF making few Auditory re-
marks now and then in the presence
of those in your employ when they
are doing WELL
Some men-and | get so out Of pa
thence with them-act as though they
thought they would spoil man i
they praised him a bit, and lose sigh
Of their own worth, which they al
ways try to keep prominently befor,
their eyes in the bargain!
Poor souls, some of them have 81
little worth l don't wonder they fea
they will lose sight Of it 1t is tn
littleness of man that makes him fee

A brotherhood to trace. "

But this key note to the uplifting of
humanity is sadly neglected feature
of true life, except at the hand of the
tlatterers who do more harm than
good in their hypocrisy. There are
some things you will praise man for
behind his back that would make a
mightier man of him if said to his
face and by you. Put yourself in as
humble position as you choose, be-
little yourself all you please, and by
all means avoid calling attention to
yourself, but don't, don't be too shy
of encouraging a good thing in others
when you see it. i
No sensible man will be anything
but benefited by such treatment, and
we don't ask you to ruin fools by it.
Suffice it to say that too much of the
praise administered goes to some dig
nitary who has got beyond it. 1t is
not here but in the lOwly walks of life
where men have got much to achieve
and little to achieve it with that it is
needed most. A. p. REED.

APPEAL FROM ASSESSMENT.


mahon Street Property Owners Orject 10
Paying an Improvement Taxa Big sum
Sued For Promissory Notes-First
Case of Its Kind.
Sixteen property owners on Mahon street
yesterday filed appeals from the decision OF
the Board of Viewers assessing them for the
grading, paving and curbing of Mahon
street. They are John Beck, Franz Leng,
Dennis O'Leary, Robert Thompson's heirs,
John c. Thompson, Adam Eckert, Charles
Schuck, Amos Hawk, Henry Martin,
Thomas Harmon, Henry Neville, Adam
Shaller, Mary Neville, George Benker,
Robert Schubert and George K. Reber. They
state that, though their properties were injured
by the grading, they were allowed no damages,
the assessment being uniformly 81 40 per foot
front. They received no notice from the
viewers and had no opportunity to be heard.
The City Engineers estimate for the work was
Sll.S00 s. but the viewers statement was Tor
SlS.366 49, though it was believed the contract
was let for the former figure. Further, Coun-
cils had appropriated $4,000 toward the work,
but the viewers only charged the city With
Sc 100 o. leaving s., S99 95 unaccounted for.
II is also alleged that the street was poorly,
cheaply and faultily constructed, and that
gross incompetency was displayed in the estab-
lishment of the grade. The contract. also. was
let to Booth & Finn. without competition. at
an exorbitant sum, collusively and without
warrant of law, and the material used was In
sufficient and inadequate. The act OF AS
semblv of June IA, 1SSI, was, in ADDITION, de-
clared to be unconstitutional. In conclusion
it was asked that the Clerk of Councils be
ordered to certify the records in the case to
court for jury trial.
