The Attorney Paid Dearly for Leaving r
Team at the Wrong Livery.
A good story is related by the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal on an Auburn attor-
ney who went to a livery stable and
hired a team for two Or three hours, and
at the end of that time, 10 a state OF
abSent- left it at another
livery stable, where it remained eight
DAYS. At stable No. l there was no
worry about the team. They knew the
attorney was perfectly good for the
pay. They knew if he kept the team a
month that the bill would be paid
promptly on presentation. They pre-
sumed that he knew what be was about
aud concluded it was his business and
not theirs. At stable No. there was
an equal freedom from anxiety. The
attorney came there, left the team and
went away, saying nothing. They put
the horse into stall and "ehalked 1t
down" on the office slate, knowing him
to be a business man who paid cash.
The attorney and the proprietorS OF
both stables met frequently, but moth
ing was said about the team. All OF
them were ignorant about the condition
OF things and all were perfectly 9t ease.
As for the attorney, he never thought
OF the team again. Discovery came at
last, and the attorney was presented a
bill from stable-keeper No. I. hire OF

President Carnot is at the present
moment sleeping in a strange bed in
his palace at the Eysee. The bed
which he has hitherto occupied, a mag
nificent sort of state bed OF carved
ebony, was in such condition as TO
require extensive repairs. These have
not been completed, so M. Carnot is
temporarily forced to take his rest upon
less pretentious and less elaborate
couch.
The state bed now undergoing re-
pairs is, as / have said above, very
gorgeous affair, and has hitherto occu-
pied the center OF Mr.. Carnots bed
room. 1t has been occupied in turn by
Prince Napoleon, the king OF Sweden,
the emperor Of Austria, Khediye Ismail
of Egypt and the Persian shah, as well
as by many sovereigns of less important
rank. who have put up" at the Elysee
during their visits to Paris during the
last thirty or forty years.
The only foreign potentate who ever
staid at the Elysee, and who absolutely
declined to sleep in this bed, was the
Emperor of Russia, who brought with
him his own couch-a little iron affair,
with single thin horsehair mattress
and who professed himself unable to
sleep on anything else. Besides all
these royal and imperial personages,
nj. Carnot's state bed has been tenanted
by his predecessors in Office; namely, by
President Theirs. Marshal Mcmahon and
NJ. Grevy. What a picture some artist
might make Of the successive occupants

building Associations.

No successful effort has ever been made
to discover the amount of money loaned
out in the State of Indiana by the building
and loan associations. A complete schedule
of the funds thus placed among the
people would be interesting reading
The amount must be enormous.
A recent investigation of the funds
loaned by 3S5 associations in the State of
New York, shows a total of $40, 400. 197.4 As
loaned on first mortgage security. The re-
ceipts for the past year of the associations
thus reporting was Sl4.5SS.37l.7S. Three
hundred and forty-six associations make a
report that they have issued an az
gregate of 1.6s3.66 shares, which is
an average of over 1850 shares each.
The report shows that the business
done by the New York State associations ia
of much larges magnitude than that &C
complished by those of Indiana; the
amount of loans Oh bond and mortgage is
nearly much the entire amount
loaned Upon such securities of all the trust
companies of the State together. The
total receipts of tho associations
equal the amount of increase for deposits
of savings banks for the same time, much
OF this representing the Accommodations of
persons who would never put funds In
banks. The associations OF Indiana are moro
numerous than those of the State of New
York. but do not do AS much business indi-
vidually. lt is safe to say that there are
at least SIX hundred building societies in
the State, Of which ct least 125 make head
quarters in Indianapolis. Statistics
show that the associations throughout
the State will average five hundred shares
each. 1t is not unusual to find societies
with from two thousand to three thousand
shares in force even in the smaller cities.
Notably, there is q building society in
Terre Haute has one OF two societies whose
stock subscriptions run mp in the
thousands. Taking the associations of
this city by and large they will
average five hundred shares each. and it IS

consequently, 10 state that within the next

A Christmas Story by DIR. Talmage.
1 never like Christmas season to
pass without telling to some one a
thrilling incident which happened at
my house just eight years ago this
coming Christmas. Perhaps I have
told it. to you, but I think not. We
had just distributed the family pres
ents Christmas morning when heard
a great cry of distress in the hallway.
A child from neighbours house came
in to say her father was dead. 1t was
only three doors off, and, / think, in
two minutes we were there.
There lay the old Christian sea
Captain, his face upturned toward
the window as though he had sudden
ly seen the headlands, and with an
illuminated countenance as though he
were just going into harbor. The fact
was he had already got through the
"Narrows." In the adjoining room
were the Christmas presents waiting
for his distribution. Long ago, one
night when he had narrowly escaped
with his ship from being run down by
a great ocean steamer, he had made
his peace with God, and a kinder neigh
Dor than Capt. Pendleton you would
not find this side of heaven.
He had often talked to me of the
goodness of God,- and especially of a
time when he was about to go into
New York harbor with his ship from
Liverpool, and he was suddenly i'm
pressed that he ought to put back to
sea. Under the protest of the crew and
under their very threat he put back to
sea, fearing at the same time he was
losing his mind, for it did seem so un-
reasonable that when they could get

81 did call you at 10 o'clock, and you
got up, looked around and told me to
keep right on this same course for two
hours, and then to call you at IL
o'clock" Said the Captain, "Is it pos
sible? have no remembrance Of that"
At 10 o'clock the Captain went on
deck, and through the rift of the
cloud the moonlight fell upon the
sea and showed him ship
wreck with one hundred struggling
passengers. He helped them off. Had
he been any earlier or any later at
that point of the sea he would have
been of no service to those drowning
people. On board the Captains vessel,
they began to band together as to
what they should pay for the rescue,
and what they should pay for the pro-
visions. "Ah," says the Captain, my
lads, you can't pay me anything; all 1
have on board is yours; / feel too
greatly honored o. God in having
saved you to take any pay" Just like
him.
Oh, that the old sea Captains God
might be my God and yours. Amid
the stormy seas of this life may we
have always some one as tenderly to
take care of us as the Captain took care
of the drowning crew and the passen-
gers. And may we come into the har-
Dor with as little physical pain and
with as bright hope as he had; and
If it should happen to be a Christmas
morning, when the presents are being
distributed and we are celebrating the
birth of Him who came to save our
shipwrecked world, all the better, for
what grander, brighter Christmas
present could we have than heaven?
