\ Check That Brought the An
sWer.

1t was John H. B. Latrobe. OF Baltl
more, who acted as counsel for the
Wlnans brothers in their railroad con-
tracts with the Russian Government,
and | heard the other day of how he
was engaged by them, writes Frank G..
CARPENTER. He was in Europe at the
time for his health, when he met one
of the WinanS brothers and was asked
bv him to go to Russia. "1can't so
and you can't afford to paw me what
il is WORTH" "But you must CO." sad
Winans. " We have got to make big
contract and we need man we can
trust. We will pay you any price you
want. What will you charger" 81 do
not want 10 CO." answered Mr.. Latrobe,
"butif do, Twill have TO have 500, 900.
" ''An right" said Mr.. Winans, and as
Governor Curtin" tells the story, he
thereupon took out his check book and
wrote him a check for the amount.
The result was that Latrobe drew up
the contract with the Government, and
by this secured the control OF the road
for twenty five years. Itwas an eXpen-
sive piece OF business, but they mads
millions out of it.

HONORABLE MEN.

Men who are rated as honorable, up
right citizens, dealing justly with their
fellow men, will, when question OF
money comes up, treat their wives, the
mothers OF their children, with less hon
estv than they do tie tax assessor, and
with much less consideration than they
do their office boys. The children, when
not granted a certain weekly allowance,
are tipped occasionally, but nothing goes
to the wife without some hagging dupli-
city or humiliation on her part. Let it be
understood that reference is made solely
70 the pitiable state OF things which SO
widely prevails IN the discussing of
nonevs in the household, and wives
private purse. Here is an inst'oce:
For twenty years Mrs. Brown had
been a faithful wife and mother pru-
dent industrious house Eeepec, and q
woman much beloved ami respected by
all her friends. Mr. Brown was rated as
= nrosperous business man. and gener-
ons as most men. But all this time Mrs.
Brown had no money that she could
absolutely call her own. The credit sys
tenn prevailed, and if by any unusual
means a piece of money passed into
her unaccustomed palm, it had to be
scrupulously accounted for to the chan
cellor of the domestic echecquer. She
was long suffering woman but her soul
had chafed and worn agalnsttheYoke till
il was sick and sore. Still she had too
much self-respect, to wheedIe, lie, or
descend to small deception to gain her
ends. and she abhored a scene as much
.s any woman living. So the little gifts
che felt like sending to friend, the few
flowers to an invalid. the bit of damask
q cover a char seat. or the small sur
nrise for the children, had to BE- passed
by with sometimes rising lump in her
throat. which even at times developed
into ga good cry" in private. Sill she
made no remohstrance. Sae was proud
IN a way, and believed the existing

HOW q Nickle Can be Made to
Grow.

Some time ago the Ladies Aid So
cicty agreed to invest nickel in some
kind ofaritcle and sell it at a profit and
reinvest it in something else and so on,
to speculate on this capital for Two weeks
and see how much each one could
make. One lady on the same evening
of the meeting bought cabbage with
her nickel. She carried it home and sold
half of it to her neighbor for a nickel.
She invested that in vinegar and pick
led the remaining half and sold the
pickle for Is cents. She then bought
90 cents worn of cloth and spool
of thread made it up into three
aprons which she sold for IS cents each.
and took the IS cents and bought mo-
lasses and gave a candy Pulling to the
ceildren, making them pay 10 cents

twenty one plates of candy, so she made

CATS.

We have dog shows why not cat
shows? The cat has been domesticated
quite as long as The dog, and is IN some
respects more remarkable animal, as
the folk lore of many nations and the
observation of modern savant5 testify.
Although, owing to the nocturnal
habits CT the feline race, it is hard to
prevent crossing, and there are, there
fore, fewer distinct breeds Of the do
mestic cat in given country than OF
the domesticated dog, it would still be
possible to compass much interesting
variety in a cat exhibition. To say
nothing of the best-known type, the
familiar tabby, which often reaches a
noteworthy sz' =, there Is The admired
Angura whose long, silky lair Is OF a
dusky white the Siberian breed whose
hair is red the Charlrcuse, or Maltese,
which Is OF blush gray tint; aud the
Srapish. or so called tOrtoise-shelI,
whose hair displays d mixture OF black.
white and yellow.
1t is not, however, in color only thai
domes,icated cats differ widely. There
for instance, is the gloved cat OF Nubia
| the Chinese cat with ears turned dowr
instead of up, the twisted tail cat o
| Madagascar, the short, turn-cated tai
of the Malay Archipelago, and th'
entirely tallless cat Of the Isle OF Man
As regards the remoteness Of tn
period at which the dog and the ca
were domcsticated, it /, tru= thai re

and hook the unsuspecting sum

Last evening the doctor appear
ed in Chinatown, and opened hi
lay out. He spread cloth Oh
the ground about four feet spare
(no hall rent and then opened biz
game.
He was man Of gigantic pro
portions and his legs were like pill
lars of the temple. He is said tt
be the strongest Chinaman Living
and has offered to fight any Of his
own race, in any known style. He
weighs about $50 pounds and is in
prime condition. He began by
taking his stand on the cloth and
offering 500 to any six men in the
crowd who could take him off the
cloth. Nobody offer d and he
then took some steel bars and roll
ing up his trowsers began beating
his leg with the rods. He raised
welts and bruises and blood be-
gan to flow. He then took ball
OF magical ointment and rubbed it
on his leg and went on with his
lecture. In about ten minutes he
rolled up his trousers and dis
played his leg as well as ever with
no blood or bruises.
Then he turned 0se a number
Of Chinese jokes, nd began I'M
loading the ointment at the crowd
at a dollar a box. A chinaman
translated his jokes to the APPEAL
reporter. They were about on
par with the American medicine
joke which goes in the street with
cake soap and corn plaster.
He said he once had a fight
with a man and his head was
knocked off. He applied the ONT
ment and in two weeks he had a
new head with new ideas and bet
ter sense, besides being able to
speak several new languages.
He had ointment at SIS a pill, |
which would grow new head on
a man in twenty-four hours, and
teach him to speak nine languages,
or money refunded.
The crowd laughed uproarious-
ly and purchased some ointment,
but all of the dollar kind.
He then said that If the Presi-
dent of the United States would
cut off his head and apply some
ointment he could sign the new
Chinese treaty.
This made the crowd howl for
several minutes. When the mob
,ot weary Of investing in ointment
lie announced that he would vary
he programme by doing the
Great Lion Act"
He accordingly did it by getting
own on his his hands and knees
nd growing while he CRASHED ;
is front teeth and paved the
arth. He was uproarously ap-
lauded.
He then took knife and fork,
nd potato and began 10 juggle
lem in the air.
The knife was as sharp
, a razor and presently the I,
hiring potatoe fell against the a
ige of the knife while the two n
ere in the air and peeled the rind IL
the spud in spiral curl, while IL
, caught the fork in his hand G,
I'd the potatoe in falling was s,
lpaled on it.
1t was as neat a piece of Jug
cry as the writer ever saw on
age and even the whites ap- 81
auded. ID
He then announced that he M
,uld show Various styles of fight CO
: in China and gave a sort of
gilistic burlesque which was re
