Caught.

AT certain station large quantities Of
plums and apples were being reported
as missing almost daily in the large
hampers and baskets that were sent to
London. Circumstances pointed to the
probability of the pilfering taking place
at the sending station. The agent hit
upon a novel plan for detecting the thief.
He had lad porter placed in one of
these hampers returning empty, which
was large enough to hold him, covered
the top with canvas and labeled it
"Plums-Perishable," with the address
in full
Toward midnight the lad got cramped
and felt anxious to get out, but he stuck
manfully to his post. By and by one Of
the night shunters came into the shed to
examine the wagons labeled for the next
train. He groped about the packages,
and cut hole in the canvas of the ham
per where the lad was concealed and
felt for the plums.
He was terrified, however, to find his
hand firmly gripped, and almost tainted
with fright when the porter revealed
himself and recognized him, with a large
basket full of fruit by his side. The
shunter was in couple of days dis
missed and the porter received promo

He Eeckoned He Would Run.

One of the most interesting characters
in American history is General Zachary
Taylor, "Old Rough and Ready" hero of
Buena Vista, father-in-law of jefferson
Davis and twelfth president of the United
States. We all recollect how Daniel
Webster s1leered at him, before he was
nominated, as "backwoods colonel"
and refused to let his friends put him on
the ticket for vice president with Taylor
for first place, thereby missing his last
and, as the sequel showed, best chance
of becoming president. Millard Fill
more, of New York, took the despised
second place and thereby had nearly
three years in the White House.
General Sherman used to tell an anus
ing little story Of Taylor anent his nomi-
nation for the presidency. At that time
General Taylor was stationed at New Or
leans. He was Kentuckian and the
Kentuckians were very properly proud of
him. One day shortly before the conven-
tion met at Baltimore he was approached
at New Orleans by an old Kentucky
friend, who said:
General, we want you to run for presi-
dent"
"Who wants me to run" asked Gener-
al Taylor seriously.
"Why, we do-all your old neigh
bors."
"Well, then, if that's the case" replied
the old hero, without changing the ex-
preston of his face, 81 reckon I'll have
to run. Detroit Free Press

Finding His Bride.

In one part of the Canton of Ticino a
very quaint marriage ceremony prevails
The bridegroom dresses in his Sunday
best" and accompanied by as many
friends and relatives as he can muster
for the fete goes to claim his bride.
Finding the door locked he demands
admittance; the inmates ask him his
business, and in reply he solicits the
hand of his chosen maiden.
If his answer be deemed satisfactory
he is successfully introduced to a num-
Der of matrons and maids, some perhaps
deformed and others old and ugly. Then
he is presented to some large dolls. all
of which he rejects with scorn, amid
general merriment. The bewildered
bridegroom, whose impetuosity and
temper are now sorely tried, is then in
formed that his lady love is absent and
invited in to see for himself
He rushes into the house and searches
from room to room until he finds her in
her bridal dress, ready to go to church.
Then are his troubles over and his state
as benedict assured. Swiss Republic.

Marco lsozzarts.

Soon after Fitz-Greene Halleck had
published his stirring Marco Bozzaris," !"
he repeated the poem to lady, an init
mate friend of his. She expressed great
admiration of the beautiful lines, but
when he was in full enjoyment of what
he considered her perfect appreciation
she surprised him by the innocent query:
"Who was Marco Bozzaris?
"Well," said Mr.. Halleck, Respondent
ly, whats the use of becoming martyrs
for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes
about the events of the day?'
The remembrance of another incident
connected with the poem never failed to
elicit groan from its author.
At certain dinner party at which he
was present, it was expected that each
man should sing song or make a speech.
Among the guests was Dutch Jew,
whose English was execrable, and he
had been previously persuaded by joker
to commit the whole of Marco Bozzaris
to memory that he might recite it for the
qualification of the poet and the poets
friends.
The day came and the Dutchman was
called upon to speak.
''Shentlemans," said he rising, 81 can
neither make de speech nor sing de song,
but viii deliver Won grand poem"
This he proceeded relentlessly to do,
and Halleck, when he heard his harmo-
nious measures delivered in a mixture
of English and Dutch, was divided be-
tween the temptation to laugh and cry.

Trying to BUY Back His Own Boax.

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: A man who lives in suburb
Of Lowell is seeking to have deed given
by him twenty years ago recovered. The
deed conveyed his body 10 surgeon now
pIacticing in Great Falls, N. H., for the
sum of ten dollars and other considera-
tons, possession to be taken on his death.
Since the deed was made the giver has
made fortune in South America and
has decided that he would like Chris
tian burial. The deed provides that the
body shall be dissected and the skeleton
articulated and presented to a medical
university. The lawyers have decided
that the deed holds good and that the
only alternative is to buy off the doctor.
The giver of the deed has made big
offer, but it has been refused. Hartford

Fine Question.

The Germans are very philosophical
and somewhat argumentative race. Two
workmen in the great Krupp cannon
manufactory were overheard discussing
an important question.
"In your opinion, Johann" said one,
(which is the more important part of q
cannon-the hole or the steel?"
"The hole of course, Heinrich" said
the other. Because what use in the
world would cannon be without any
hole in itY'
"You are wrong, Johann. It's the steel
that's more important; for how many
men could you kill with hole with
nothing around it?'- Youth'sCompanion.
