Puck says "Charles Lambs hu-
NOR never shows taste of bitter
ness; but then Charles had regular
job as a bookkeeper to fall back
upon" But in these days it has
been noticed that it is not always
the poor who put sting in their
words. Pessimism is common and
all of that unwholesome brood are
more or less bitter.

IsEver hear how Uncle Warren

"Ever hear how Uncle Warren
Lelan made his money!" queried an
attache of the Leland Hotel of a
Chicago Post reporter referring to
the proprietor's uncle, whose portly
figure, seated in comfortable easy
chair behind the desk, has several
weeks past been conspicuous orna
ment of the place. Didn't Well,
it was in California during the gold
fever of 40. Uncle Warren caught
the fever with many others, and tax
ing Sl,500 set sail for the Golden
Gate. He didn't know what he was
going to do; he only knew that he
was not coming back without for
tune. The trip was of six months
duration, and in its course he made
the acquaintance of man, like him,
who was going to the promised land,
but unlike Uncle Warren he had no
money. He had, however, a small
printing press and dress of type,
and the upshot Of their acquaintance
was the purchase by Uncle Warren
for 81, 500 of one half interest in the
outfit When San Francisco vas
reached they found that their pless
was the first one on the ground, and
in few days circulars setting
forth their arrival, and which they
had printed on the voyage were all
over the country. Business started
with a boom and kept booming.
When a man had mine to sell he
had to have circulars, aud the fat
that they cost him SIS apiece mace
no difference. Well, things kept Up
for Is months and then Uncle War
rem took $4,000 as his share of the
profits and returned to New York.
And he was only % years old. But
he didn't blow it in. He formed {
partnership with his brother ant
started the famous metropolitan
Hotel, which proved such a mint tt
both of them.

One night when old Dan Rice was
exhibiting his circus il IN Ohio
town, says the New York Sun, it
came on q rain about the time the
performance was over, and hundreds
of people stuck to the tent for shell
ter. Dan didn't want to be mean, but
that canvass must come down, and
so he sent three of the men through
the crowd to whisper:
Don't get excited and make a
rush, but must inform you that
the Numidian lion has escaped from
his cage. Please go out quietly"
The people went out fast enough
all but few unbelievers. There
was farmer and his wife and chill
dren, and he got them in circle in
the ring and placed four Or five
pickles, three Or four hard-boiled
eggs and paper OF salt III his straw
hat in the centre. One Of the men
came up and inquired:
"What are you doing here old
mani"
