Mr.. AIdrioh's Answer to the Farmers.

Mr.. Aldrich, sealer of weights and meas
ures, has forwarded his recommendations
to the Commissioners in reference to the com
plant of the farmers of unfair treatment at
Centre Market. He approves of the sugges-
gestion OF allotting certain spaces on the
south side Of B street to each farmer and
gardener who comes regularly to market, pro-
vided there be any law sanctioning the grant
ing OF special rights on property fronting on a
Government reservation. He found no case
where farmers or gardeners were called upon
by the Market Company to pay anything ex-
cept those who were given space on the
pavement adjoining the market-house. Mr..
Aldrich does not think the plan of placing
tables on the sidewalk along the inside wall
of the market would be TO the interest of the

Stories Rose EYtinpe TeIla.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Rose Eytinge, the
actress, who now has dramatic school in
New York, tells some singular stories OF
pupils who nave applied to her for instruc
tion One night an old man of sixty-f
came wheeling up the stairs leading to
Miss Eytinge's apartment and knocked at
the door. As soon as he got his breath
after being admitted, he asked Miss Eytinge
her terms for series of lessons in the dra.
matte art.
"For your daughterr" asked the actress.
"No, for myself" was the reply.
The old gentleman went on to explain
that he had never gone to the theater in
his youth as be was too poor, but having
come into legacy within a year he had
been constant attendant of them. II en-
10Y it very much" he said, "and like every
thing but the old men They are either
young men fixed up to look old who do
not succeed in doing so, or else they are fat
and well fed fellows who do not appear
we'll in sorrowful parts. It seemed to me
there ought to be an opening for a real
simon pure old man, and / thought I'd
come to you to ask you to tell me how to
get on"
This view of the subject was such hu-
morous one that Miss Eytinge with diff
eulty restrained her laughter. Yet the
situation was not without certain pathos
In few kindly words the actress advised
the old gentleman to enjoy his little for
tune in comfort by his own 1reside, and
never to attempt to view . theatrical per
formance except from the front of the
house.

HIS EYE N THE RIGHT PLACE.
Story Of . Ysung Man Who Was Bound
to Make a LAWYER.

TO MAKE q Lawyer.
What IL the chief characteristics of q
"born lawyers" Some people fancy that it
is audacity; but audacity has, perhaps,
spoiled lawyers success as often as it has
made it. Craftiness, another quality often
attributed to lawyers as q class, is as likely
to get them into trouble as it is to win
them cases. The real master cusiity Of q
good lawyer, according to many modern
authorities, is genius for details"-an
ability to see through case to the utter
most particular, and keep everything in
mind ready for use at the right moment
The following story has probably been
told by more than one lawyer to illustrate
this fact:
A lawyer advertised for q clerk. Tho
next morning his Office was crowded with
applicants, all bright and many suitable.
He bade them wait until all should
arrive, and then ranged them in row
and said he would tell them story, note
their comments and so judge whom he
would choose.
"a certain farmer" began the lawyer,
twas troubled with red squirrel that got
in through @ hole in his barn and stole his
seed corn. He resolved to kill the squirrel
at the first opportunity.
''Seeing him go In at the hole one noon
he took his shotgun and fired away. Ths
first shot set the Barn on fire."
did the barn burnt" said one of ths
boys.
The lawyer, without answer, continued,
sand seeing the barn on fire the farmer
seized a pail of water and ran to put it OUT
did he put it outP" said another.
GAS he passed inside, the door shut to
and the barn was soo1 in flames. When
the hired girl rushed out with more wa
teri
"Did they all burn upr said another
boy
The lawyer went on without answer,
"Then the old lady came out, and all was
noise and confusion, and everybody was
trying to put out the fire."
"Did any one burn up?" said another
The lawyer said, "There, that will do;
you have all shown great interest in the
story"
But observing one little bright eyed fell
low in deep silence, he said, NOW, my lit
tie man, what have you to say?"
The little fellow blushed, grew uneasy,
and stammered out, II want to know what
became of the squirrel; that's what want
to know"
you'll do" said the lawyer; "you are
my man. You have not been switched off
by confusion and barn burning, and the
hired girls and water pals You have kept
your eye on the squirrel. l."-Youth's Com
