Billy Brank'S Bonanza,

1nordinate thirst for spirits and the
dry throat that it inseparable from
it will develop the inventive faculties
as well, or even better than downright
necessity.
Billy Drank, in a town in western
New York, was poor; Billy was thirsty;
Billy found dead cat. Depositing it
behind the Office of F. K. Hull, a re-
spected citizen, he waited. Mr.. Hull
is not more fastidious than his neigh
Dor: but he has always nourished a
prejudice against dead cats ben cath
his office windows. AS W as to be ex-
pected, he paid Billy rs cents to give
the remains a christian burial. Bill
took her away and had five drinks OF
the Central houses best whisky at
cents u drink. The next day Billy mud
died his cat by the river bank so that he
would not be recognized by Mr.. Hull
as an ola acquaintance, and again Mr.
Hull paid her funeral expenses. Later
she made the acquaintance of officials
of the First national bank and then
OF the Second national bank. All
paid. Every resident made her ae-
qualntance, and finally Billy laid her
aside as a souvenir. He knew where
ne could get more cats.
But greater wealth was opened up
to him by the power OF his inventive
thirst. He sowed grass seed in the
cracks OF the sidewalks. This he did
in front Of all the shops. and when, in
the natural course of events the grass
grew. Billy made no end OF money
wedding it out.

Grit and Pluck in Sickness.

I have seen grit save many a life.
/ have had a patient who coolly said
to me, 81 will not die" I was COM
PEELED to assure her she would. There
was no hope for her. "Doctor," she
answered, "you are a fool. I shall
not die" Grit it was that carried
her through. A few years later she
was sick again, and, as I thought,
unto death; but there came the same
all-conquering reply, "You are tax
ing nvnsense; I shall get WE'LL" and
she did. This was repeated a third
time till actually began to believe
she would get we'll anyway and at all
times. 1t never occurred to me to
think of her as liable to die. Finally
her mortal sickness came, and I ex-
pected to help her as usual. But
now she replied, doctor, you can
come or go as you please; lam going
to die; this is my last Illness ooh,
no." I said; 1--WE will have you out
in a few days. "Nonsense," she an
swered, "you are talking what you
know nothing about. I shall never
be we'll again. In two days she was
dead. Her grit gave out; her pluck
was good to the last. She had plu, k
enough to face death, she had no
longer grit to endure the disease.
There is no question but thatmortal
and rental grit go with physical to
sustain vitality. A stout will wards
off the blows of disease. In this case
the patient went straight lahead to
die without a finch or whine. She
had a vast faith in the "All Right"
and allowed no one to dabble in the
ology at her bedside. She marched
into the next life'' as she often had
into the next year, and had not a
tremor. She took her pluck with her.
She treated a neighbours prayers as
she treated my medicine. You can
come if you like" she said, cor you
can go. Your prayers n'tstop me
and they can't change memo more
than the DOCTORS powders" She
was a woman of extraordinary intel
igence and determination.

In a Hollow Tree.

About two and one-half miles east
of this city is a large redwood tree
twenty-four feet in diameter, which
is hollow, the inside having been
burned out many years ago. The
tree is in a lone place, and is seldom
visited by any one save an OCCASION
al hunter who may stop there for
shelter from the storm. A few days
ago a hunter was attracted to the
spot by the sound of voices. What
was his surprise to find snugly en-
sconced in this novel place a family
consisting OF man and his wife and
three children. To close the opening
in the tree rude door had beed con-
structed of deerskins. Inside the tree
benches and tables had been con-
structed OF redwood bark fastened

that he had caught about seventy

A True" Parrot Yarn.

A well-known New Yorker, whose
pen and pencil have alike brought
him money and reputation, has had
an adventure which discounts by
about ten thousand nine hundred
and ninety-nine the average conven-
tional parrot story. He was fond of
knocking about in out-of-the-way
quarters of the world, and left ship
on the Central American coast with a
party Of comrades to explore the
wilderness. During a cruise Of sever
al menths the entire ships company
had devoted their odd hours to sing
ing to a parrot. The sailors also
had lostno opportunities, and taught
the bird all the sea-faring lingo, and
few more or less elegant expletives
besides. When the artist and his ex-
ploring comrades had hidden the
bird and the sailors goodbye they
plunged into the heart of the tropical
forest. After twenty-eight miles of
mortal effort they reached their camp
ing-place for the night. just as the
sun was going down they were
startled to hear, in the primeval ST.
lence, a familiar voice calling down
form the top of a tall palm:
"Avast there, 20, heave, hop
1t was the ships parrot. But be-
fore they could recover their startled
senses the faithful bird, having flown
ahead to prepare this unexpected
treat for it's chums of the voyage,
futtered down to the top of a dead
stump near by, and, with a shrill call,
summoned thousands of the little
green parroquets of the country. 1t
is said II 900 of them were counted
as they circled around the great gray
African oracle on the stump, and
finally took their places on the
ground in rank upon rank and row
after row. The explorers looked on
in dumb amazement. When the
feathered assembly became quiet the
ships parrot burst into the familiar
words of "Nancy Lee," and to the
inextinguishable laughter Of the trav-
elers the CONSERVATION of the tropi-
cal world and the delight of the festive
precentor, the whole of the II, 900
parroquets, with one mighty burst of
song, broke into "Nancy Lee."

Their Force of Habit.

Shortly after the new jury law put
into effect in Ireland Minister Phelps
at London dinner table a distin-
guished Irish Judge who had been
holding the assizes in an Irish town
whose name matters little. Natural
]y enough he was asked as to the
operation of the new law. "Well,"
said he, slightly above the average
in intelligence. AS soon as they were
impaneled I addressed them at some
length, pointing out to them their
duties and enlarging on the response
bility Which was laid on their shout
ders, and now, gentlemen,' I conclud-
ed, you will be pleased to take your
seats.'" The Judge paused, dra-
matically. "Well," he was asked
"what happened?" "Nine of them
walked to the prisoners dock from
force of habit" he dryly concluded.

Justices Of the Supreme Court,

The Supreme court of the United
States was organized one hundred
years ago. In the century of its ex-
istence eight chief justices and forty
four justices have been appointed to
its bench. While all of these fifty-two
men have been learned in the law, and
presumably of local eminence at the
time of their appointments, not all
have been so conspicuous for ability
and attachments as to shed luster up
on the court or leave behind them
lmperishable monuments in the record
of its decisions. We find in the list,
along with the names of Jay and
Marshall and Rutledge and Woodbury.
