| mediately set 1t up In the main corridor.
| The water was all In 1t, and Harding at
once begun operations washing out ten dol
lar bills, laces and other fragile articles. A
crowd OF employees returning from dinner
soon gathered around. Presently one .of the
officials whom Harding had evaded returned,
he began to take the inventor to task but
ended by getting interested In the machine
Before long nearly all IN the office, including
the judges, had seen the washing process
and were enthusiastic in his praises. No one
said word about fines or imprisonment and
the suspicious elevator man concluded that
it was all right.
That afternoon the court heard the case
and awarded the Maine inventor his patents.
G George F. Clifford ESQ, Cornish's portly law
yer, got the better the other day, of one of
the satraps who collect the tribute from the
cent-in-the-slot weighing machines. The
man was at work on the machine in Cornish
depot
II will bet you five dollars" said Clifford,
who was watching the operation, shat the
machine will not register my weight cor
rectly."
"Take you," said the man, who had un-
bounded faith in the continuance.
The money was put up, and Clifford
stepped onto the machine. The indicator
flew around to 300 pounds, the limit of the
machines power, and stopped. Clifford
weighs 81 pounds.

OUR BOYS.
Taught by a Bow.

Formerly very large, well-known and
somewhat noted billygoat roamed at large
in the streets Of Washington. and the new
papers boys. bootblacks and street imps
generally. made common cause against him.
Henry Clay never liked to see dumb animals
abused or worried, and on one occasion,
while passing down the Avenue, large
crowd of these mischievous urchins were at
their usual sport. Mr. Clay, with his walk
ing stick, drove them away. giving them
sound lecture in the meanwhile. AS they
scampered and scattered in every. direction.
Billy. seeing no one but Mr.. Clay within
reach. made a charge at him. Clay dropped
his cane and caught his goatship by the
horns. The goat would rear up, being nearly
as high as the tall Kentuckian himself, and
would pull him down again. This soft of
sport soon became tiresome, and he could
conceive Of no way by which he could free
himself from the two horned dilemma; so in
his desperation he sung out to the boys to
the boys to know what to do. One of tho
smallest In the crowd shouted back: "Let
go and run, you foolp Clay always main

A Quiet Little Came.


Three knives or sticks are placed on the
table. Some one who knows the game is de-
tailed to go out Of the room. He must choose
confederate. but not mention who it is.
The people in the room are asked to touch
one of the knives, which were numbered
one, two, three. The confederate notes
which one is touched, aud on calling in the
person who was sent out, gives him the cue,
touching his forehead If the first knife is
touched, his cheek or nose If the second or
middle one Is chosen, and his Chin If the
third knife is the one.
The person who gives these signals must
do so in perfectly natural manner. A
lady. who had perfect control of her features
sat in the middle of the room and gave one
signal after another, the others all knowing
that she was the confederate, but her move
ments were so easy and natual that they
simply could not understand them. II any
one sees, or thinks he sees through the game,
insist on his going out; and, if he has really
found it, keep on until the others have all
found out. or are willing to ''give it up"
