HE GOT THE MONEY.
A Little Story of Rev. Reed and the
Ca

A Little Story of Rev. Reed and the
Gamblers.
The Rev. Myron W. Reed, of Denver,
COL, was a guest of the fremont House.
The reverend gentleman is noted foR
his liberal views in the way of practical
religion. One characteristic of his be-
liefis that the right hand Of friendship
should be extended to the gamblers to
reform them. And here's the way he
puts that principle into practice: A
story is told that one day the Rev.
Reed was presiding over a meeting of
associated charities in Denver, when
some money was needed and could not
be raised He called good brother to
the chair, and said:
Don't adjourn this meeting-I'lI re-
turn shortly"
A half hour afterward Mr.. Reed re-
turned and threw $500 on the table.
"Where did you raise the money SO
quickly, Mr.. Reed ?" was asked on
every side.
ooh, went out and touched the
gamblers-that's all" replied the pro-
gressive minister.
The gamblers admire Mr.. Reed for
his liberal views, and he never extends
the hand with a request for money that
it is not filed.

A Queer Superstition.

After lying in Jail for months NJ r.
Kerr was brought to trial recently at
Charlottesville, Ind. Last spring
Virginia estate in which Kerr had an
interest was settled, and check Tor
savnraI hundred dollars, in partial pay
ment was sent to his divorced vile,
Mary H. Kerr, who also had an interest
in the estate. 1t was addressed to M
+ Kerr. but the divorced husband got
if. and in his ignorance cashed 1t by IN
dorsino the name on the face, though
his initials were M. f. The jury chose
to look at the intent rather than the
actitself. and rendered verdict accord
ingly. ..o, ;no;-
don't occurred which, while amusing, de-
monstrates that the average American
still believes in the efficacy OF signs.
During a lull in the proceedings
strange, black cat, with fierce, glaring
ewes, appeared in the doorway, causing
a solemn silence to fall over the as
sembly, It paused, looked about, ana
slowly swishing it's tail to an 1ro, al
vanced toward the space between the
prisoners and the jury's box, Inc 81
lence became oppressive ana the Juoge,
LAWYERS, Jurors and prisoner craned
their necks and, with open mouths gazed
at the creature.
"Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touched ?" If SO the man
was innocent and would be freed.
After standing as if transfxed for sec
onds it approached the prisoner, who,
with a superhuman effort, rallied,
stretched forth his hand and touched
the glossy fur Immediately the cat
gave a Joyous meow and disappeared.
Ali we're convinced that Kerr would go
free, although clearly guilty of forgery,
and bets to this effect found no takers.

HOW TO BE PLUMP.

The Main Feature of the Plan is Re-
A contributor to the Ladies' Home
Journal quotes "a very practical physi-
clans plan for making thin people
plump" His rules appear sensible
enough to put flesh on the boniest of
creatures. He says: avoid excitement
and keep your mind as much as possible
in state of repose and free from wor-
ry. People Of nervous temperament
should control themselves. Learn to
sit quietly for long period, and don't
rush about consuming muscular tissue
by unnecessary movement. Eat
all you can and as often as you
can, avoiding hot things, such
as hot bread, and that " hich is made
from the finer grades Of heat. Stale
bread made of -four contain ng portion
of the chaff is far more nutritious than
light, freshlv-baked bread. The diet
should consist of such articles of food
as are largely composed of starch and
sugar and oil. Meat in large quantities
should be avoided. All things should
be thoroughly cooked in order that the
raw material can undergo the chemical
change that otherwise would have to be
done by the stomach. Lastly, sleep as
long as your time allows. These rules
and such suggestions as you will observe
by watching yourself will soon add all
the flesh to your frame that you want. "

Swallowed the Leech.

The other day, says the Anaconda
(Mont.) Standard, couple of gentle
one Of them a city official, were in a
drug store while the clerk was tying up
several leeches that a doctor had or
dered. At the sight Of cotyloids the
official began to smile and then broke
out into a hearty laugh, the worms
evidently bringing to mind some anus
ing incident. At last he said:
II never see a leech or hear the word
but what [ think of an ocCurance that
happened in a small mining camp in
Arizona, long before | came to Butte.
In one Of the mines a brawny lrishman
was employed as miner. One day he
to his clearinghouse. The nearest
doctor was thirty miles away and a
messenger was sent for him. In the
meantime the boys had engaged bar
UNI sCarum fellow known as Billy Moore
to act as nurse for the injured miner.
'"The next morning the doctor arrived,
and after fixing up PATS shoulder he
left directions with Moore what to do,
and also gave him some leeches, two OF
which he instructed HIM to apply to
Pats shoulder, and then went away.
Pat happened 30 be asleep at the time,
and the doctor told Moore not to
arouse him, out TO walt tlW NE aWOke
and then place the leeches as directed.
AS soon as the doctor was gone Moore
slipped out and took a number of
drinks and when he returned to Pats
room he was pretty full. Pat was awake
and asked if the doctor had left any
medicine for him. Moore produced the
leeches and said=
'''Yes, lots of it, and he tobet me to
give you two of these when YOU awoke.
III be - if l know what they are,
but you've got to take 'em.' With this
he compelled poor Pat to swallow one
of the leeches. The effort almost killed
him, but he managed to get tbs thing
down some way, and took big drink
of water to take the taste out of his
mouth. Moore then got another leech
and insisted that Pat should take it,
also. Pat looked at it awhile and then
said:
"'No, Billy, I'll dol, - it, bat I'll
not take another wan O. thin thDngS. ~

Pussy Sought Police Protection.

A Portland policeman was walking
slowly down street approaching cor
ner, when he saw cat coming across,
picking her way carefully to avoid sew
eral wet places. At the same time dog
came up the street in tho opposite di-
rectlon to that in which the policeman
was moving. A second dog was coming
along the other street and turned the
corner behind the cat Just as sne
reached the sidewalk. They thus had
the cat In pocket from which there
seemed NO escape but tbs prospect of
a fierce battle. The officer stopped and
was turning on his heel to see the fun
he thought was coming, when some
thing ca@g bit his coat. and, scrambling
up his back, sat on his shoulder, a very
much frightened cat. The officer was
hardly, Less frightened, fog the result
was utterly unexpected. The cat re-
gained her composure in few seconds,
however, while the dogs ran around
shifting and whining, wondering where
their prey mad vanished 80. suddenly

BOOTHS BLOODHOUND.

An Exciting Christmas Adventure at the
Home of the Great Actor.
II remember Christmas | spent in
Mr.. Booths company many years ago"
said a young theatrical manager in the
foyer. "He had bought summer res
idence at Cos Cob, Conn.,. the previous
summer, aud invited me up to play
Santa Claus and do the chimney act.
His property was fair sized little pro-
montory of land, bounded on one side
by the Connecticut River, on the other
side by Long Island Sound, and the
New York & New Haven tracks
formed the base line.
eff there is any one road affected by
tramps it is that same New Haven road,
and when [ arrived, two or three days
before Christmas, there was line of
them waiting their turn at the gate that
reminded me of highly successful adj
vance sale, one tramp near the gate
even offering to sell his advanced posi-
ton for ten cents. Booth was much
worried about the looking
fellows, and it struck me that a dog
would be high'v appropriate as gift.
Il wired to friend in New York,
and the day before Christmas the big
gest Siberian hound l ever saw was
waiting at the little station for me.
Booth was tickled to death, and we
managed to chain that dog just inside
the main gate near the lodge, and then
we shook hands. It was an awful big
dog, bigger than little donkey that ar
rived on the next train with eo-cart as
a present to his little daughter Edwina.
Well, we fixed up the presents that
night. l. dressed up in fur rugs and
traps as Santa Claus, and had arranged
to drive the donkey into the reception
room and distribute the gifts from the
Well-laden go-cart. The dog was to re-
main in the little shed we had extern
porized for him, but he didn't. He was
there on business, and he attended to
it promptly. The chain broke like a
piece of twine and | broke for the
balcony, which just managed to reach
from the cart Of course there was a
racket, and got into the window, and
by the time we had armed ourselves
with antique swords and a revolutionary
musket the noise had subsidized suffi
GENTLY for us to venture forth. The
dog was just seen in the moonlight dis
appearing over the stone wall, thous-
ands Of dollars worth of presents were
scattered in the deep snow, and donkey
meat and fur were lying an inch deep
over the three acres of the Booth
premises. The Siberian bloodhound had
torn the donkey to atoms"

How the Snow Flies.

Chester A. Snow, the millionaire
patent attorney Of Washington, d. c.,
and his wife, Ada G. Snow, have set a
good example for other husbands and
wives who contemplate divorce. They
have taught the world that dignity, de-
cency and even affection may mark the
preliminaries leading up to legal sepa-
ration. Finding that in their case mar
rage was failure, they agreed upon a
divorce, settling the terms of separa-
ton quietly between themselves. Then
they journeyed together to South Da-
kota. He settled her comfortably at
Sioux Falls and returned to Washing
ton, the lady accompanying him to the
train and kissing him goodbye. 1t
took her exactly los days to get the
divorce She arrived in the state Aug
ust %. November p she had
perfected her residence, Then she
brought her action, and at the
end of eighteen days she had served
notice on her husband, presented her
testimony and secured her decree. She
has since returned to Washington,
where liberal alimony will enable he1
to re-enter society and be the bright
particular star that she was before she
and her husband resolved upon sepa-
ration.

WINTER MUSINGS.
BY TOM MASON,


The grass has ceased its growing.
And the chilly winds are blowing.
And it's getting time for showing
AS we get our ulsters out.
Soon the sleigh bells will be ringing;
We can hear the snow birds singing;
And the icicles are clinging
To the whltened water spout.
Where the old time lovers flirted,
The groves have been deserted,
And their sparks are now concerted
In the parlOr by the CRATE.
The hunters deer are stalking,
The trampis southwark walking;
And the sewing circles talking
Puts their victims in state.
The plumber now is plumbing,
And the old clothes man is hummlng
At the garments that are coming
From the swells of other days.
The weather vanes are jerky,
And the sky is getting mufky.
And the plump and IAmpered turkey
Sees the error of his ways.
But though the air is freezing,
And it gives us fits of sneezing,
Yet we're filled with thoughts most pleasing
AS we ope the closet door.
For ever since September
We have viewed it, ana remember
That the suit of last December
We can wear season more.
