credited with saying that he is sure that
San Pedro will get the appropriation oi
$51 900. He adds that he did all that
was poss BILE for San Pedro, even going
20 far as to make half-hour's speech.
The Lord be praised that it only lasted
. half-hour. If he had spoken much
longer the chances are that San Pedro

Twenty Girls Enough.

In the Quaker City there is we'll
known business and society man who
pursues strikingly original line of con-
duct. In his business he is quiet, reg
ular and industrious, and particularly
prides himself upon the neatness and
accuracy which characterized his books
of account. During the social season
he fits about from entertainment to ell
tertainment, frequently attending operas
and playhouses, always having with him
some one of a score of girls to whom he
pays more or less attention. When asked
why he had SO many girls he said: ooh,
all girls talk as they write-very much
alike, but still there is more variety in
twenty than in one. Besides, l keep a
regular set of books at home in which |
enter every cent l spend on them, and it
affords me considerable amusement.
For instance, charge cost of theater
tickets, flowers, supper and carriage
hire, and then credit it with the amount
of pleasure I had-'Passable time en-
joyed,' Enjoyed the evening hugely,
etc. The girls VINO afford me the most
enjoyment receive the greater number
of invitations, so think l may fairly
say that I seek relaxation and pleasure
in the same way that 1 attend to my
business-on a system. Philadelphia

A Thoushtiess old Gentleman.

1t was the night "rush hour" on the
Brooklyn bridge trains. More people
were crowded into one of the cars at the
New York terminus than had any right
to be there without risking suffocation.
Through the side entrance to the car
came three young and pretty girls,
swept on by the tide of humanity. The
car was crowded, but that didn't mat
ter. In the crush the girls were help
less. They couldn't help being pushed
into the car, and all instant later they
couldn't withstand the counterpusb
which seated one of them, willy nilly,
on the knees of an old gentleman. In
the jam her two companions were thrust
against this young woman, and pre-
vented her from rising. 1t was not un-
til the train was well on its trip toward
Brooklyn that the crowd gave way a
little and she was enabled to regain her
footing. She begged the old mans par
don sweetly enough, but to her friends
she said not word until the three were
safely out of the car and on the platform
of the Brooklyn station. Then she freed
her mind.
"Thats what call an inpolite man"
she declared.
"Why?" said one of her companions,
81 thought he behaved beautifully. He
didn't say word"
"That's just the trouble" snapped the
other. HE didn't have the grace even
to say, Keep your seat, madam. New

Odd Custom in Brazil.

A woman lately returned from Brazil
tells of the~curious nomenclature of the
streets of Para. They are Biblical OF
commemorative of some event in the
Brazilian history. 1t seemed to her
quite irreverent to be told that desira-
BILE location was "at the corner of st.
John the Baptist and st. John the Evan
gelist Streets" She went with her uncle,
who was OIL business, TO dine at the
house of wealthy merchant.
Everything was very gorgeous and
lavish in South American style, but on
leaving she was amazed to have her
hospitablc host say to her, "If you
have any washing send it here.'' 1t is a
custom there, it seems, for wealthy
households to take in laundry work as
an employment for their large retinues
of servants. s.-Cor. Utica Herald

They Pay Promptly.

The various women's clubs and organ
izations Of one sort and another that hold
meetings and banquets at the hotels have
so increased in the past few years that it
has become a distinct phase of hotel man
agement to care for this branch of the
business. The hotels like to,cater to this
custom. The pay is prompt and the wom-
en- are never unreasonable. A breakfast
was given at one of the hotels by wom-
ans club, at the close of whiqil-about 8
o'clock-the treasurer approached the cash
ier at his desk and asked for the bill
what bill?" he inquired, not under
standing
why, our bill for today's entertain
ment-the - clubs BILL"
The clerk rallied and consulted his books
soon announcing the amount, $3.50. The
money was counted out and handed over.
"Well really, ladies'" said the clerk as
he signed receipt, eff you were men
should offer cigars or a bottle of wine on
the part of the house for this unusual
promptness. Is there anything we can do
for you? You really take my breath away.
We are not accustomed to be paid for a
banquet before its dishes are washed"
1t is the exception when all such bills
are not paid with equal promptness by
these gatherings of women.-New York

Joseph Underwood, an eccentric and

heart disease, from which he had long suf-

from lack of food during his last days.
His coffin. that he had himself made from
rude fence boards several years ago, was
found beneath his bed.

and when he did he had not dollar. Dur
ing sixteen years Underwood made for
tune of about SIS, coo in mining in Nevada
county, and then lost it all in placer
mining scheme in Yuba county. In a year
or two Ee was so poor that he was helped
by charity. Then he made strike in
some real estate transaction, and for sew

tato was successful. Hehad about $4,000
in 1870 and went to Europe He Travelled
abroad for year and became engaged to
young widow on the steamer that brought
him back to this country, and was married
IN Trinity church as soon us they arrived.
Underwood was so flush with money in
those'days that he gave the minister 81 900
as marriage fee. In less than six months
Underwood and his bride had parted in
great anger and he gave her $4,000 to
leave him forever. He returned to Cali
fornia and spent several years in Petaluma
and San Francisco, but his spirit was
broken. He lost his money in a mine on
the Comstocls, and after more poverty
made several thousand dollars in Tomb
stone, which he subsequently lost in real
estate in San Diego
The last eight or nine years of Under

The Sum 10 Cct n1a,r,, ! o.

No man has q right to get married on
less than 81 500 a year. At least that is
the conclusion reached the other day at
the close Of a long discussion ON this
subject. OF course that means if the
man is going 10 take for his bride
sweet and lovely young woman, who
while being happily provided for at
home has net been orerindulged in ex-
travagances, and who has the sense to
know that she can hardly expect a box
at the opera and lots of diamonds from
the young man who has only so lately
firmly established himself in business.
And even if the girl is one Of those who
has known what it is to be out I'll the
world at work for herself, she can hardly
be expected to marry fellow who cam
not do as we'll for her as she did for her
self. She has managed to get along
beautifully by herself ON fifty or sixty
dollars month, with plenty of nice, sep.
sible clothes, trip to the theater every
now and then, and every summer, OF
maybe every other summer, q nice little
jaunt away somewhere, to forget the
little unpleasantnesses of everyday office
AiAo' 1Ahu oiC way UHls iloHcy was TO 20
was very nicely settled too.
The young man won't be likely to
have a home Of his own to take his vim
some bride to, and there is the unfailing
call OF the landlord on the first of the
month to be met, and that meeting
means twenty dollars sure, and maybe
more. Sixty dollars will disappear early
in the action by the time the butcher
and baker and candlestick makers and
some other peoples monthly bills nave
been settled; $3.50 a year is placing the
estimate at very modest figures for the
wearing apparel of each during the
year, and when all this is added up
81 ,260 is cared for, and something must
be put away for rainy days and doctors
bills and occasional treats to the theater
and the lake, and 81 500 is gone! Still
there are others who think they can get
along first rate with good deal less
than this.-Boston Herald.

An Odd OCCUPATION,

frame is so made as to look like game
bag started talk on hunting and the al
most extinct buffalo.
II have just come across the continent"
said one of the party, land you would
think there had been plenty Of buffalo once
If you could see the piles of buffalo bones
along the Northern Pacific. There are
carloads OF them stacked up along the
road. The farmers gather them from the
prairies and ship them east to the fertilizer
works. Many of the settlers there make
their entire living by this occupation The
buffalo trails are still perfectly plain on
the prairies in the tall grass, though no
more herds will ever file along them.
Think Of the enormous number of hoof-
beats it took to SO wear out the sod and
pack down the earthl''
And we all got quite sentimental over
the extinction Of the buffalo-much more
than we did over the extinction of the In.
