Maryland's "smartest Niger"
IDAHO

The following story is told by gentle
man well acquainted with the partie.
mentioned and who can vouch for its
authenticity. Each of two gentlemen,
who owned adjoining farms in one of the
counties had colored laborer working
on his place. These men, who were named
Tom and Bob respectively, We're very
light fingered and had the reputation
of converting to their own special prop
erty anything they could carry from their
neighbors. One day the two farmers met,
and, by chance, the conversation turned
upon the stealing propensites of their
respective men. After some discussion
one said: II tell you Tom can steal
more in a week than your Bob can in a
month. He is the smartest Niger in the
county,
"No, he can't" said the other gentle
man, emptying his mouth Of huge guam
tity of tobacco. "There is no Niger in
Maryland who can beat Bob stealing
He could take the buttons off city
policeman's coat, and the policeman

claimed Toms champion excitedly,
"Why, my Tom could steal stick of
wood from under your Bob and leave

up, and it was a week or more before he
recovered sufficiently to proclaim again
that he had ''the smartest Niger In Mary

MgrHoueHr THE ROSE WAS FAl

Methought the rose was fairest when full blown
breathed its festal fragrance and was glad;
By dawn the wind its petals far had strewn;
found an uncrowued chalice lone aud sad
Methought that Youth could no'er exceed its
prime;
joyed to live and with all life was fain;
But oarking care outran cen tleeting time
And in the race the STRIPPING slain
Methought that Beauty was o JOY for aye;
worshiped at her shrine in homage leal
Anon an envious Nemesis swept by
And on mine idol sent her bghtlng seal
Methought that Love by bards had been malign' d.
| sanctuary gave him in my heart;
Eftsoons the thankess boy a spot did find
Wherein to lodge his most envenomed dart
Methought that Life more precious was than gold
priced each pregnant hour with sordid greed;
But when both Love and Youth escaped my hold,
They left me, piundered miser, poor indeed
Methought that Deaths oblivion ended all;
rocked no future peace, no future pain,
Till one long cherished, gone beyond recall,
At parting whispered Friend, we meet again !"

Did you ever see a spider change his
skin? 1t is an interesting sight, one
that will repay any one for the time lost
in waiting for the novel event to take
place When preparing for the change
the spider stops eating for several days,
and makes his preliminary arrangements
by fastening himself with short thread
of web to one of the main lines Of his
snare, this to hold him firmly while he
proceeds to urdress. First the skin
cracks all around the thorax, being held
only by the fore part
Next the abdomen is uncovered, and
then comes the struggle to free the legs
He works and kicks vigorously, seeming
to have very hard time of it. Fifteen
minutes of continued perseverance, how
ever, brings him out of his old dress
the struggle causing him to appear linn
and lifeless for some time after it is fin
ished, Gradually he comes back to life
brighter and more beautiful than before

Protection of Animals.

The first law in the world to prevent
cruelty to animals we owe to an Irish
member Of the British parliament
Lord Erskine attempted to introduce
such an act, but so much fun was made
of it that he desisted.
Then came into the house of commons
from Galway. on the west coast Of Ire
land, Richard Martin, an Irish gentle
man, or, as the folks called him, Dick
Martin, and he was noted for two
things.
First, he was very fond Of animals
and second, he was known to be very
much inclined to fight anybody that be
thought insulted him. So one day be
brought in law to protect animals.
Immediately somebody made a cat
call.
He just stepped out onto the floor o.
the house of commons, and said very
gravely that he should be very mucl
obliged for the name of the gentleman
who had seen fl to insult him IneFe
was dead silence The gentleman alun
give his name, and Martin walked OacA
to his seat amid the cheers of the houS
of commons. and his law became the law
of Great Britain and the first law Oh ~
kind in the world.

A pnnie stricken Atlanta Man.

An Atlanta man had very thrilling
experience the other day. lie had oc-
casion to go a short distance up the
Georgia Pacific road, and was thinking
of the late accident of Nitkaiack creek,
as he looked out of the window on the
trees and bushes fitting past. Suddenly,
just ahead and coming rapidly toward
the train on which he was, the man saw
another passenger train come flying
around curve in the road He jumped
from his seat and started for the door,
Remembering his overcoat, he turned
back and caught the coat from the back
of the seat ''Look out for collisionT'
he yelled, as he started toward the door.
Everybody jumped from their seats and
made wild rush for the door, As the
excited man had his hand on the door
knob there was a rushing sound outside,
and the approaching train dashed harm
lessly by on the Western and Atlantic
track, running parallel to the other. The
man sank pale and gasping upon a coal
box near the door. Savannah News.

In this great metropolis there is no
more interesting personality than that
of "Nym Crinkle," who is known in pri-

slender, well made man above the aver

aristocratic head, and eyes full and blue.
His gray blonde hair and mustache ties
titles to his forty years. Mentally, he
reminds one of Robert Louis Stevenson
There is the same fascinating facility in
picturesque phrasing, the same love OF
dainty argument, and fine spun analysis
in quaint lines of thought. Socially
Nym Crinkle is gentle; his cruelty is al

READING GAS METERS.
s.,,o Harvard students Help Pay TheHr
...-...ns T., Thia Manner.


rxpenscs In This Manner
One of the pleasantest and best pay
ing occupations in which good many
college men engage is reading meters ,o'
tbe Boston Gas Light Company. Inns
company employs about twenty-five SUI,
dents in that department Inc worn 10
unite simple, each man being given d
district in which it is his duty once a
month to visit every gas meter ana nov
down the figures as indicated on inc
dials. The districts are so DIVIDED up
thot II takes each one five or SIX days 10
comnlete his work For this the stu
dents are paid So per day; consequently
they are able to earn about $l2 per month
from reading meters alone.
Where student is practicing the most
rigid and severe economy this $3 per
week proves quite a welcome assistance
and goes long way toward paying for
their simple necessities. The work Is
steady the year round, and college
man in the employ Of the Boston Gas
Light Company can OF certainty cou,io
upon an income of at least Sou 10 %
ner week. The work is considered Sc
desirable by collegians that there are al
WAYS on hand a number of applications
80 that when one drops out there are
plenty eager to take his place
The Young men thus employed come
from all the surrounding colleges ilar'
ward. Tufts, Boston university, Institute
of Technology, and the Medical School
furnishing about equal numbers. AS
rule they are of New England birth ano
come from good families. An lllustra
ton of how some young men put them
selves through college is found IN the
case of a native of the Granite Stat'
who is attending the Boston university
His means being very limited he Sc
cured work from the Boston Gas Ligh
company, the proceeds from which he
used in defraying all his college ex
penses. such as room rent, books, cloth
ing, etc,
He at first got his board free by serv
ing moons as II waiter III restaurant
and later by acting as commissary for
boarding club In this way he obtained
all his board, room rent, clothing, DOCK
and all the other things necessary to
college course by his own individual ct
forts. Another young man pays III
way through the same college with tn
money received from working for tn
gas company, added to the profits OF
large newspaper route which he goe
over every afternoon, and it is said tina
he earns from that source even NOR
than from reading meters. Boston Rec
