Tire Judge Takes an-lnteresting Lesson in
Human Nature.
Youths Companion.l
Very peculiar is the popular es-
timation Of a watermelon. Apples,
peaches, oranges, we may carry in
the street without causing people
to make remarks about or to us.
Not so with the watermelon. One
day Judge Mack, Of Kansas, said
to his grocer:
"People in this town seems dis
tant and unsociable."
"You don't understand human
nature" said the grocer. "Take
home this watermelon in the bask-
ct on your arm, and If people on
the way don't speak to you, then
you needn't pay for the melon"
Inc Judge nrSt met dlgnltled
matron, who said with faint smile:
u" "Ah! luxuries to-day, JudgeG'
At the next crossing a minister
exclaimed:
"Am I invited to dine with you
to-day?"
On Pine street a German said:
"Ish you going to be belite al
reaty, Sbudge, und divide mitme?"
On Elm street a Frenchman
bowed gracefully:
"Ah! re meelon!'
At the corner of Main and Jack
son streets a loud voice called:
"Lor, now, Jedge, doan' yo' dun
drap dat ar melon! Hi! xii hal ha!'
The Judge paid for the melon
next day.

"Out Of sight, old man" replied
Murray, rather mystifed. "Where
is Anse TempIe?"
The man with the uneducated
hair went through a scene from one
Of the Hanlon pantomimes, accom-
panying his athletics with a string
of choice German, which was Greek
to Murray.
"Is Irish here?" he inquired.
"Nein," was the reply.
"But it's long after nine now,"
said Murray, consulting his watch.
"Im Murray" he added, and I'm
with Settled Out of Court"
"The courthouse is over on the
corner" said the bushy-headed
man, who realized that his visitor
did not understand German.
"What's this place anyway"
queried the mystifed agent.
"The German Theater office.
Mr.. Temple is next door"
And muttering a few oaths that
came into his mind, the agent with
drew into the next room, where he
found George Irish.
"I'm more at home with Irish
than German" he said. "Why
don't you put your sign out?"
"Why don't you wipe your eye
glasses?" asked Irish.
Mr.. Murray has challed the Of
flee door Of the German manager,
so that he will make no such mis-
take in the future.

my only daughter. Call at lG2 west l41s street.
Mr.. Gotrox sat in his Office, i'm
patiently awaiting the answer to
his advertisement, which he knew
would come. In a few minutes, one
after another, a large number of
lads fled in, some of them breath
less from running, having read the
morning papers little late. Mr..
Gotrox looked them over quickly
with his eagle eye and dismissed all
but two.
"Now, boys" he said, after he
had talked with them a bit, 81 like
the looks of you both, and will en-
ploy the one who does a simple
thing the best" He should have
said "better," inasmuch as there
were only two boys, but he was not
that sort Of a man during business
hours.
"Here are two packages just
alike-which have just been deliv-
cred here" he said. John" ad-
dressing the sad-eyed dreamy-look-
ing youth, "let me see you open
this parcel"
Then John winked at himself and
said in his heart: "This isindeed
a snap. How glad I am upon or on
to this little scheme!" And with
great care and patience he tugged
and picked at the knots, and, after
long effort, took the cord off in one
piece, and wound it into a neat coil
carefully folded up the coarse wrap
ping paper and stepped back, try.
ing hard to conceal the triumph in
his eyes.
Mr.. Gotrox made no remark, ex.

A CURIOUS EXPERIENCE.
a Theatrical Agent Whose Glasses Were
Somewhat Dim.

A Theatrical Agent Whose Glasses Were
Somewhat Dim.
Frank Murray, the specialized
agent Of Charles Frohman's Com
medians, had a curious experience
on the day of his recent arrival, and
Of which he is greatly disinclined
to talk, says the Chicago Times.
He reached the city last Satur-
day, registered at his hotel, enjoyed
good breakfast, and then inquired
his way to the Schiller Theater,
which had been opened since he was
last here. Careful directions were
given him by VIII Shafer, the straw
hat clerk at the Victoria, who eau
toned him against the cable cars
and the man-holes. Well, he sci
out and soon found himself in front
of the imposing pile on Randolph
street Inquiry at the box-ofice
gave him the information that the
managers Office was on the thirC
floor, so he picked his way through
the piles of bricks and mortar OF
the iron stairways until he reached
door upon which he thought he
read: "Manager's Office, Schille-
Theater;" but his glasses were dim
Opening the portal he entered.
."Wie gehts, mein herr?" said
ferce-looking party with bush,
growth of hair who sat at an opel
desk.

a SCHEME THAT FAILED.
The Old Gentleman was a Smarter Man
than the Son Thought.


Boston Evening Record,l
l hear pretty good one at the
expense Of a Harvard boy who has
been having an uncommonly good
time in several channels lately.
His enjoyment was pretty expen-
sive, and he finally outran his al
lowance and other resources SO
much that he was in imminent need
Of aid. So he sat down and wrote
to his father thus:
"DEAR Pa: Ihad the misfortune to be
upset in a boat while out on the Charles
River, aud lost the beautiful watch you
gave me. would like some money to
employ a diver to recover it. Your affec-
tionate son, THOMAS"
The old gentleman was no fool.
He replied;
1t is not worth while diving for
it. 1t might as well be in soak in
one place as in another"

FlNKENBINDER's HORSE.
1t was Good Horse, but he will not Re-
fuse to Sell Him.

"There he is, FAM Isn't he a
beauty?"
Mr.. Finkenbinder pointed with
pride to a chestnut sorrel horse he
had led into the backyard from The
stable. 1t was an animal he had
just purchased through friend
who was a good Judge of horses.
"Size him up, Fan" he said, lean
ing back against the fence, with his
elbows on the top board. "Look
himover. Notablemish anywhere.
Clean limbed as a deer! And | got
him for $l25!"
"That seems to me a pretty high
price for a horse, Lemuel," mused
Mrs. Finkenbinder, "unless he'sgot
a pedigree. Do you know whether
he has a pedigree or not?"
"What do you want Of a pedigree
when you are buying a buggy ami
mai?" retorted Mr.. Finkenbinder,
somewhat impatiently. "He will
pull the phaeton all right, and he
couldn't do any better if he belong
ed to the first families of Kentucky
and had an ancestral tree as big as
house. What is your idea Of a
pedigree, anyhow? Do you think
its something like dapples, or a sur
cingle, or a crupper, or an insurance
policy?"
II know what it is as we'll as you
do, Lemuel. But are you a good
Judge of a horse?"

"He doesn't seem to need any

er, as Billy, after proceeding a few
rods at gentle walk, stopped very
promptly at the first pull on the
lines. "Hadn't you better touch
him with the Whip"
"Not for worldsl" exclaimed Mr..
Finkenbinder. "Get up, BillyP'
Billy started on again with the
same patient walk.
Its a risky thing" said Lemuel,
"to touch a spirited horse with a

can. Cluckl Cluck! Go on, Billy!

said Lemuel, his voice becoming
somewhat loud and imperative.

lated his owner. "Some women can

He seized the whip and laid it
gently along Billy's tanks.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-A very strong
presentation in favor Of the claimant in
tho famous McGarrahan case was made
in tho senate to-day by Hunton of yir-
ginia. Tho chief point made by him was
that after the hearing before President
Lincoln In which both sides were repre-
scntcd by counsel. Lincoln decided In sup
port of the claim and directed the issuance
of n patent; that the patent was actually
filled out and signed and was afierward.
before McGarrahan knew OF it's existence,
mutilnted in tho land Office of tho interior
department. The morning hour expired
before the argument was concluded and
the bill went over without action till Mon.
day next in the morning hour.
The anti-option bill again came up and
George continued argument on IT. Power
to-day introduced an amendment to
the bill defining options and futures, add.
ing silver bullion to the articles to deal in
which one must obtain license. Ad
journcd till Monday.

STILL THEY'RE AT WORK
Republicans Schsmlns to Gain Control
Of The National Senate
AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS
Matters That Received the Attsn-
ton OF Law Makers Yester-
day --latest About
6laine's illness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-The republican
senatorial caucus met again at 10 o'clock
this morning, and further discussed the
programme TO be followed by the party in
regard to tho prospective senatorial con-
tcsts In several western states. A resolu-
ton was offered by Senator Hawley OF
Connecticut and adopted, authorizing
Chairman Sherman to appoint n commit
tee OF live senators to take into considera-
tion the wisdom and propriety Of senate
rial interference In these contests. The
obvious purpose of the resolution is to re-
fleet upon the unpleasantly "pernicious
activity" of tho democratic caucus COM
mittee in this matter. Further than that
nothing was done, except to discuss the
general outlook In the West, and the re.
suit OF this was to greatly encourage
western senators, inasmuch as Il demon
strated that their eastern colleagues were
by no means lukewarm In the matter. The
caucus adjourned subject to call.
The senators who participated in tho
discussion were Sanders, Perkins, Dubois.
Warren, Henderson, Paddock, Hoar,
Hale, Hawley, Morrill,, Carey and Shcr-
man. Tho consensus of opinion cx.
pressed was that while tho senators did
not desire nor pretend to interfere with
pie, II was the duty of republican senators
to resent tho strenuous cxertions OF tho
democrats who are now, rs thcy charge,
trying to pervert public sentiment. 1t
was shown to tho satisfaction of tho cau-
Gus that tho democratic steering commit
tee has no ground for it's claims. In Ne
braska il was said by tho speakers, that
the democrats had not four members in
tho entire legislature, and in Kansas but
IL. In North Dakota the republicans had
clenr majority Of nine in both branches.
and in Wyoming five. In California and
Montana the vote is close with the popu-
lists holding the balance of power. Senator
Morrill, made strong speech in which
he deprecated the assertions made by
the democrats and urged that republicans
do whatever might be necessary to make
plain the fact that such assertions were
based upon assumptions of the most vio-
