MIR. O'Flaherty, why don't Won keen
duckss' so the poor man who bought
the bird skins and was offered 800 for
them, and did not accept it, after taking
thirty days off and visiting each of the
custom house people for an hour or so
each day, succeeded in getting an order
from the collector requiring the cashier
to refund the fifty cents.
1t seems that the package was improp-
eriy sold, having been by mistake placed
among the uncalled for goods, when in
! fact it had only recently been received.
and was called for Immediately after
the sale When he welt away some one
heard him say that he almost wished he
had sold the birdhngs at 500. And
with that he looked bitterly at the four
bits which he held in his clinched hand.
We should learn from this not to be
too greedy, but be willing at all times
to accept fair profit on cur original in
vestment, unless, of course, we happen to
be connected with the drug business.
when the rule would not apply.
Once man was Struggled into this
country and seized. He was in barrel
OF plaster. One arm had been cut off in
Europe.
Also his head.
He had been fortnight on the ocean
snd another fortnight in the custom
house when he was discovered, but life
was extinct. Very much so, in fact.
1t seems that he had been murdered by
his employer in Europe and sent to a
friend in Racine, Wis, or addressed to
him at least by way of pleasant sur
prise.
One can, in ones minds eve, almost
see the joyful face of the friend at Ra-
cine, Wis. as the twinkling candles light
up the somber green of the Christmas
tree and shed light, wax and sperma-
cetti over the glad throng. A flush of
pleasure is on every cheek, twinkle of
JOY is in every eye. How the children
gayiy whoop about the premises or walk
fhoughtfully across the bunchy feet of
the dear old grandsire,
All at once the crunch of wheels is
heard along the gravel! l forgot to say
that In the kitchen the turkey is done to
turn. Also that holly, mistletoe and
seed corn are festooned from the walls.
The table fairly groans under its weight
of good things.
Out IN the cold street a poor woman,
wan, but still very wildly beautiful. and
wearing thin breakfast shawl and a |
large diamond ring, sits fainting beneath
the glare OF the gaslight. Roseola Nc
Crocken had come home to die. But to
return to our subject.

sized on suspicion and lodged in jail
He alarmed the government OF Fene-
xue1a Prominent officials came post
haste, with their tongues hanging ont,
to use figure of speech, and servants,
attaches and so forth came here from
South America with their coattails en-.
tending forth at right angles to their
persons. The nabob was brought forth
and required to give bonds in the sum
of s., 900, which he did by skinning one
bin off the top of little roll about the
size of Jumbo's ankle.
This showed that he did not snugple
because he had to in order to urocnre
bread to eat. On further EXAMINATION
it was found that the $50 pieces n
jewelry were absolutely free all the
time, and that all this agony and ex-
pense and the ignominy and other plain
food incident to month in Jail we've
entirely uncalled for. This should teach
us always to be honest, at least where II
is so much more healthful and econo,n.
ical.
Every month, think it is, there ia
sale of unclaimed goods at the custom
house. 1t not called for after the ex.
piration of Eve years, if am not mis-
taken, these goods are sold at auction.
1t Is great fun to watch this sale, for
each buyer gets his pig in poke. OF
course there is valuation written mon
it, but that may be over or under the
true valuation.
At the last sale poor man-who viii
no doubt be wealthy man before he
dies If he should work it right bought
a package of bird skins. for taxider1nine
purposes, I dare say. He bought them
for fifty cents, the price for bird skins
being little depressed that day, and the
quotations closing extremely weak and
enervated. The poor man took his bird
skins home. and undid ~ packthread
bywhich they were secured. He showed
them to several people, one of whom
offered him s. for them. Then another,
who offered him $40. Finally he was
offered 500 for the fifty cent bird skins
by thorough taxidermist, and while
the owner was chewing straw and
thinking whether or not he would take
that OF wait for $500 an officer came
along and seized them.
When was at the custom house this
man had just made the rounds of the
whole business, from the ianitor up to
the collector, and like Mr.. O'Flaherty
who went all the way from the basement
OF the water works commission up TIC
the mayor with the tale that his name
was O'Flaherty; that he controlled thirty
votes; that the water pipes busted in his
cellar and killed all his hens, and that he
desired damages, was met by the mayor
with the heart breaking interroeatory.
