Ono Case In Whichtho yictim Got the Bass
Of the Joke.

Ono Case In which tho viotim Got the Bass
oC tho Joke.
Railroad men delight In playing
tricks on each other and on green
hands, and sometimes they carry their
jokes to unpleasant and even dangerous
lengths On certain railroad in this
state brakeman on passenger train
was lounging around the terminal de-
pot one day, waiting for his train to
pull out, when he was approached by
young man who desired information re-
garding the person to whom he should
apply for a place as brakeman.
''Well, I'm the man that hires them. "
said the brakeman, winkingat the by
ISLANDERS, ''and I'm wanting man, too;
but your green at the business, amt
you?''
The applicant admitted that he was,
but reminded his questioner that deter
mination and perseverance were almost
equal to experience.
That's so.'' said the delighted brake
man meditatively. II believe I'll give
you trial. Go upstairs to the first
room on the right and ask for Charlie
Hepburn. Tell him you are going out
on No. 8, and that you want a watch
and time card"
The man unhesitatingly obeyed, and,
walking into the Office, said Familiarity:
Il want to see Charlie Hepburn"
A slight dutter ran around the Office.
and the general superintendent, turning
around in his chair, said:
"Well, am he What do you want??"
"A watch and time-card." said the
young man, nonchalantly. "I'm going
out on No. So
"Who said so?" asked the astonished
superintendent
1.-THE man that hired me-" replied
the other
''Well, you just come down stairs
with me and see if you can find him.
If you can I'll give him run that he'll
like" said the enraged great mogul
But the brakeman's train had pulled
out and the superintendent never found
out who he was.
Another similar case occurred where
the perpetrator Of the joke did not es.
cape so luckily. A would-be fireman
was hired bX<a man whom he supposed
to be the foreman, but who was in
reality the fireman on freight train.
The fireman explained all the duties OF
the position to the green hand, and act
nally sent him out on his own run.
The alleged fireman made the trip with
out anybody discovering the fraud, as
the engineer supposed the regular fire.
man was laying off. When the new
fireman was cleaning up his engine in
the roundhouse on his return the fore
man came along.
''What are you doing up there?'' he
asked.
"Cleaning my engine" was the reply.
''Who are your
''The fireman on this engine" replied
the other.
''Humph! Could you tell the man
who hired you, if you saw him?" asked
the foreman.
''Certainly; there he comes now"
said the fireman as the hoaxer leisurely
sauntered in the door.
The foreman discharged the funny
fireman on the spot and hired his victim
to fill the vacancy, and to-day he is the
head engineer on the road.-N. Y. Sun.

POWER OF THE SHARK.

It's Bite Worse Than That of tho Lion or
Crocodile.
Philosophers, although as a rule men
of exceedingly positive opinions and
wholly adverse to confessing their ig-
norance upon any point whatever, have
failed signally in arriving at any salts
factory conclusion as to the advantage
of the shark in the general scheme of
nature. 1t has been suggested that he
was created specially for the repression
of conceit in man, and in order to show
him that he was not, as he otherwise
might have supposed, the undoubted
lord of the inhabitants of the water as
of the jewellers upon earth.
Given special advantages, such as that
of holding the end of stout rope at the
other extremity of which is hook fixed
in the sharks mouth, man may, with
the assistance of a number of his fell
lows, have the best of the shark. But
alone and in the water the advantage is
wholly and absolutely the other way,
and the strongest swimmer and the
bravest heart fail when the tyrant of
the sea seeks to make his acquaintance.
1t is true that reports have been cur
rent that there are natives of the islands
Of southern seas who. armed with q
knife, fear not to go out to give battle
10 the shark in his own element; but
these tales must be accepted with eau.
Jon and akin to the many apparently
authentic narratives of the appearance
Of the sea-serpent. The shark is a
creature gifted with great strength, q
savage temper, logged perseverance
and exceptional power Of jaw. The
lion and tiger may mangle, the croco-
die may lacerate, the bulldog may hold
fast-the shark alone of living crea-
lures possesses the power Of nipping
off human limb at a clean bite. -

Apples Bettor Than Whin..


One evening the driver of Third
avenue street car, bound uptown with
heavy load of passengers, stopped his
horses just before reaching Grand
street, hitched the lines tight, and ran
over to fruit stand on the curb and
bought a couple of rosy apples. Re-
turning to his horses he gave each of
them an apple, which the animals
munched with great apparent relish.
Then jumping on the platform he shook
the lines loose and the horses started
off in way that made the standing
passengers grip the straps convulsively.
To passenger on the front platform
the driver said that as matter Of fact
and not sentiment one apple was worth
more than all the whips in New York
in getting satisfactory work from the
horses. Il never use whip on any
horse" he said. II drive six horses
day and give each one an apple, and
they seem to look forward to the treat
The scheme cures balky and obstinate
horses, and livens up lazy or tired
horses wonderfully" And the way the
horses covered the ground and did their
work generally seemed to bear out this
theory. They made up for the time
lost by the stop in less than three
blocks, and kept on uptown like q
fresh team.-N. Y. Sun.

The SOUVENIR Spoon craze con-
tinues undated every hour of the
day there is a call for something in
this line. No one will be without a
Souvenir Spoon if money can buy
one, and then Of course the prettiest
to be had is the one wanted. It GER
tainly is pretty fad, this gathering
of memento from wherever you
have been. What an additional
topic for conversation over your
dinner table, or at your afternoon
teas. Here is one from London,
another from Berlin, another from
Koeln with its tall cathedral spires,
others from France, Italy, Russia,
Greece, and every city therein which
you visited-each one a history
within itself.
Leaving Europe you found dozens
of them in every city, every town,
every hamlet in the United States,
wherever You could find one you
bought one. With every spoon you
have an anecdote for your guests ;
how you ransacked every old curl
osity shop to get this one how you
were positively informed that
Caesars great-grandfather once used
this one, and SO on through the long
list. Now, / do not claim that
Kamehameha the First, or even the
Fifth, ever used any Of mine but
[ do claim that my latest Spoon is
the handsomest ever made Many
new and original designs have been
made during the past year, and
thousands have been sold but by
far the prettiest Spoons ever made
by me are those just finished
typical Hawaiian Spoon. made en-
tirely in the Hawaiian Islands Not
a simple imported Spoon with an
engraving Of some island scenery,
but one that is as it should be-a
truly Hawaiian Spoon. A limited
number are now finished, but we are
as bees, making them as fast as pos
sible. When you are around my
way just step inside and have look
at them everyone does.
I will also soon place on the mar
ket a SOUVENIR Fork, which will
have all the attributes of a truly
Hawaiian memento.
Don't think for moment that
have only spoons to show you
Everything desirable I hear or know
of as being in the market is imme
diately sought and placed on sale.

To Take Place at the Hawaiian
Hotel.
There has Of late been considerable
argument and great diversity of
opinion as to who is entitled to the
palm as the most expert amateur
pool player in Honolulu. To settle
this point, Hamilton Johnson, of the
Hawaiian Hotel, has conceived the
idea of holding a tournament in the
billiard parlor of that establishment,
and desires to announce that the
list Of entries is now open. The
tournament will be conducted with
out expense to the contestants, and
a handsome prize will be awarded to
the winner.
The contest will begin as soon as
the list of entries is sufficiently large,
and will be duly announced. No
professionals are invited to contest.
