red by any gentleman.
1t was a polite deed, politely done,
and Charlie was as much gentle,
man as if he had been well-dressed,
and ten years older.
Presently the car reached the street
where Charlie wanted to get out, and
he vas surprised to see that the other
passengers, with the excection of the
old woman, got out, too.
perhaps this boy is after the same
place am" he thought to himself.
81 suppose won't have much chance,
particularly if he has good references,
for he is so well.dressed that anyone
would want him a great deal more
than they would want shabby-look-
ing fellow like me-"
He was not wrong in his surmise,
for when the two boys reached the
store that had advertised for a boy
both of them went into the place !;
whree three other boys were already
waiting.
"Mr. Scovil has not come in yet !;
he will be in pretty soon, and then
he will see YOU" the clerk told them,
and they seated themselves to wait
with the rest.
You can imagine the surprise of the
two boys who had entered together
when the old gentleman who had
been their fellow-traveler in the
horse-car entered and was addressed
as Mr.. Sc0vil by the clerk.
"Pve got first.claSs reference, but
suppose it is all up with me, and l
may as well CO." muttered the boy
beside Charlie.
He was right, for as soon AS Mr..
Scovils eyes fell upon him he point
ed to the door.
"You may go, sir, for l have
no use for boy who lacks common
civility."
He examined the reference of the
boys and dismissed them, and then
turned to Charlie.
"Have you references ?" he asked
Charlie explained that he had new
er had a place and so could not pro,
duce references, but he would try tC
work well if he had a chance.
81 think l have seen your referen'
ces," said Mr.. Scovil with a pleasan
look in the gray eyes that could bt

car with you this morning and l saw

you were kind and obliging, anC

FOUND HIM HARD TO PLEASE.
A Reporters Experience with Crusty
Millionaire.

Millionaire.
Never can satisfy some people" he
said, as he took pipe from the real es-
tate EDITORS desk, filled it with the rail
road editors tobacco and borrowed a
match from the exchange editor.
whats the matter? Well, was think
ing about an assignment l had some
time ago.
81 was sent up to interview man
about a threatened strike, and how l
tried to return good for evil. He wasn't
feeling well that morning | guess, for
he said some pretty harsh things to me.
Told me that it was blanlled piece of
impertinence to come prying into his
AFFAIRS that his relations with his en-
ployers were no concern of mine, etc.
Got more and more excited as he dilated
on my inquisitive nature and finally or
dered me from the Office. Offered to
ring bell and have me helped out if l
didn't feel able to get out pretty quickly
myself.
"Wen, was mad, but on my way
back to the Office thought of that old
proverb, A soft answer turneth the
other cheek, or something of that sort,
and so | made up my mind that I'd
heap ton or so of Goals of fire on his
head.
81 wrote an article in which | refer
red to him as courteous and clever
gentleman, incidentally spoke of the eX-
cellent quality of the champagne he
kept, and said something about his fifty
cent cigars. said that he courteously
but firmly declined to be interviewed
concerning the differences with his en-
ployes, and altogether made him out
one of the cleverest men one could wish
to meet.
Satisfy him? No. sir; not bit of it.
Why, he came down to the office the
next day and tried to have me dis
charged. He couldn't show that l had
said any thing derogatory to his charac-
ter, though, so managed to hold on.
''Strike?" o, yes, the man did strike.
Went out few hours after the paper
was OFF the presses. Quoted my article
to him, believe, as proof that he was
trying to make himself solid with the
newspapers preparatory to making war
upon their union. The Goals of, fire that
heaped on his head were too hot,
guess, and they burned him.
Anyhow he attributed the strike
to that article. Been just as mad,
though, if I'd written him up for the
brute he was. Can't satisfy some peo-
pie"
The reporter made another dive for
the railroad EDITORS tobacco but that
gentleman had wisely locked it up

TIE HAFSEED.

We can all OF us remember
How along about September
The papers used to tell of the caucus or the
taiT
And those fellows from the city
Used to get almighty witty
On the fellow with the buster who had hay
seed in his hair,
They had fun in Legislators
With the man what raised potaters,
If by any hook or crook or chance elected
or sent there;
And those reportorial friskers
Used to comment on the whiskers
And the carpet sack of Bidson, who had
hayseed in his hair.
Yes, by gum, he rode his pass out,
Aud he used to pillow the gas out,
And he used to drink hard cider when he
went out on a tear,
And he used to squeeze the dollar
Till the buzzard used to holler,
The man cut up ridiculous that had hay
seed in his hair.
But, by gum, if you've been reading
You'll observe a strange proceeding,
IT'S the fellow with chin whskers that is
slowly getting there;
And it won't he too surprising
If, by slowl, organizing,
Old parties may wake up and find the hay
seed in their hair.
When the fashions change, you fellers
Will all carry green umbrellas,
And trousers wide across the seat to make
the dudelets stare;
And in those days, if you pass muster,
You must wear Il linen buster,
Aud if YOU want to throw on style, put hay
seed in your hair.

Christian Advocate: The spirit Of
INSTRUMENTATION that prevails in 50
many families is alarming. The
boys and girls who grow up without
parental reverence will by and by de-
spise all rightfully constituted au>
thority in Church and State, and
sooner or later will put off the law of
God. The rank individualism Of our
modern life is the legitimate outcome
of the unsurpassed stubbornness and
disobedience that are tolerated, if not
encouraged, in our children.

Charlie S References.

"Well, l will just take try for this
place, mother" said Charlie, looking
up from the paper he held in his
hand. They want strong, willing
boy who can bring references from
his last place. can't do that, since
have never worked anywhere be-
fore, but perhaps they will be will
ing to give me trial, if they do not
have any boy apply with just the
reference they want, Nothing VEN
ture, nothing have you know, SO l
will see what | can do"
After he brought up the coal and
filled the woOd-boX and water pail,
little services that his mother had
never to remind hin of, Charlie start
ed to answer the advertisement.
He was afraid if he took the time
to walk into town he might be too
late to have any chance Of getting the
place, so he resolved to invest five
cents in car.fare.
1t was a cold, raw morning, and
the only person in the car was an
old gentleman, well.wrapped up in a
heavy great coat.
His cane was standing beside him,
and as Charlie entered the car he
struck it with his foot, and it fell
down.
81 beg your pardon, sir" said
Charlie, picking it up and restoring
it to its owner.
Presently an old woman, loaded
with a heavy basket MS well as a
bundle, signalled the car, and the
driver waited for her to come some
little distance, at that hour in the
morning the cars did not run very
frequently. Charlie looked out Of the
window and saw her coming.
"I'll give you a hand with your
basket, ma'am," he exclaimed, jump
ing off the car, and picking up the
basket, which was not very heavy
burden in his strong arms, he carried
it into the car and deposited it be-
side the old woman, who seemed
very grateful for the assistance.
Charlie put her fare in the box
and exchanged few pleasant sen
fences with her, and told her wher,
certain street was she was going t
find.
1t was Charities habit always t
make himself as helpful as possible
and he was as interested in trying t
explain to the old woman JUS
where she must turn as if he expect
ed to be rewarded in some way 70
his information.
A little later, another boy got il
the car. He was much better dresse,
than Charlie, and he might hav
been a very prepossessing boy, if i
had not been for a rather unpleasan
expression on his face.
He left the car door open behin
him, and the old gentleman coughs
as the cold air struck him.
"Will you be kind enough to clos
that door," he said to the boy VIII
had left it open.
The boy looked at him with rud
stare.
"Guess you are able to shut
yourself, if you dOntt like it open,
was the rude answer.
Charlie had noticed that the Oh
gentleman was evidently lame, an
as he saw that lie was about TO ri,
and close the door himself, he spran
forward and shut it,
"Thank you, sir" said the ol
,ro,, ilntrap r.f,iu,v his bat ~ n,Iirt.

When NJ Andrieux, the brilliant French

was appointed Project de Police his first
step was to Immediately hunt up the report
concerning himself. He knew that every
body in Paris is made the subject of dos

what his own dossicr might amount to. His
amazement and horror at finding himself
charged in this precious document with
every variety of crime, either committed or
contemplated, may be better imagined than
described. From that day he became a de-
termined enemy of the whole institution of

then attacked it in tine columns of leading

in both ways, to strike terror and TO bear

be called territorial dominion. Far nearer
to Carthage are the later seafaring cities of

some measure, Venice in higher. Venice
indeed is the nearest reproduction of Car

united trade and dominion; she ruled from
her islands as Carthage ruled from her

FRESH TROUBLE FOR O'MALLEY.
- : : = 49, --.-.i---s - '-s.-s------sT-~s
ing Another's Letters.

New ORLEANS, May 25.-Dominiclx
O'Malley, the detective who is charged
with having conspired to bring about
a crooked verdict in the Malta trial, has
succeeded in getting himself into
further trouble, and this time with the
United States government. O'Malley
was arrested Saturday on an affidavit
charging him with opening and destroy
ing letter sent to James Fleming
Carroll, the lightweight pugilist, and
was placed under bonds to appear for
trial on May 80. Carol says that when
he left this city after the split between
himself and Fitzsimmons he had given
orders to have his mail delivered to
O'Malley, who was ordered to forward
1t to him. While Carroll was on the
Pacific coast he was asked by the post
Office inspectors at that point whether
he had given any one in this city
authority to open his letters, and on
Carrolls saying he had not he was
asked to sign an affidavit to that effect.
On this affidavit the govenment officials
went to work and they claim that they
have found that O'Malley opened a
letter sent from New York to Carroll,
and that after he read the contents he
destroyed it. Carroll intimates that
O'Malley was the cause of his break
with Fitzsimmons.
