Accident on an Elevator.

In one of New York's largest hotels they
have three elevators and of course require
very powerful machinery to run them. One
of the guests who had gone to the theatre,
fingered for nice little private spread at
Del's, and as the steak was particularly good,
"you know" and his best girl in lovely
humor (who by the way was his wife) the
gentleman remained so long with his charm
ing companion over his Mumm's, that when
he reached his hotel the colored attendant of
the elevator had gone up stairs and falleninto
the arms of Murphy or Morpley, I'm not
sure which. Our friend believed in fresh air
dina lived on the floor nearest the sky, so of
course he was disappointed to find the elevator
CLOSED for the night, He muttered something
to his wife and gave wrench at the IRON
door leading to the elevator car. IL opened
and be laughed, and although his VIE AT nrst
refused TO enter, he finally prevailed and
chuckled to himself as the elevator started
upwards, TO think how he outdone the mouse,
and how the darkey's eyes would stand gu. IN IN
the top of the house. When they got TO tne
second floor from the top our 1rlenu thouent

his astonlshment he found he coulo not

his mind, also his wife's at the same instant:

a gentleman on the floor below was attracted;
he jumbed to the elevator and gfasped the
wire rope, holding with all his strength land
he was strong, as he had lived in Texas Tor
twelve years. and he finally brought the ele.
vator to stop just in time, as it was found
on the following day that only one small
strand of the heavy steel wire remained in
act. but our neigubors were saved. They
were profuse in their thanks and when they
met the gentleman recognized their old
friend, j. M. Emerson, of San Antonio, Texas,
l,s xrr{f fhat "a ar N IN
fidenCe in Mr.. Emerson's firm that he would
wait until he went to San Antonio for the
earrings and baby buggy. Moral: If you
want anything cheap and good, go TO Emer-
sons. Emerson keeps everything and you
will be customer for life If you deal with
him once.

An exchange truly says that men like to hold office because it makes them conspicuous and gives them a iatteriug opinion of their merits. They enjoy the brief authority that the po- sition brings them because it ministers to their egotism and causes people to talk about them This is not necessa- rily fault; on the contrary it may be a decided yirtue and vindication of the best rights Of citizenship A man is none the worse for holding him. self in high estimation, and for trying to gain the sort of public recognition that is supposed to confirm his view of his own ability. That is the moving cause in nine out of every ten instances, Men go into politics not so much from motives of devotion to the welfare oi society as from prompiings of ambition for personal power and honor.
