Teller that had his arm took off" said
the man with the ginger beard.
"Has, | read that" said the grocer,
land ! lowed at first you had went to

AS usual the grocer's sarcasm was ig-
nored, and the man with the ginger
beard continued, says the indianapolis
Journal:

beard, with the air of one who was sure
OF his position
That there centipede business"
We'll, s'posin' did. 1t happened in
Nlckerauger, too. That thing happens
on them southern roads most anywhere,
Bat TO get back to my story, As was
sayin', they was a horrible accident, and
people were scattered around in sections
fer more than hundred yards. They
was one Teller who was rich who had
his arms and legs doth smashed all to
pieces, Says he.-"I got n hundred
thousand dollars in the bank, and I'll
niua hn1f of II 20 - 10, a.
up these here limbs as good as new.
BY gosh, says q young doctor who was
on the train, I'll go you And what
did he do but to take a couple OF fellers
who was bound to go under anyway,
and cut the legs off of them, and the
arms off of t'other and sew 'em on to
that there capitalist. And they stuck,
too, and growed on fast. But here is
where the funny part of the story comes
in. The Teller at furnished the arms
had been great scrapper in his day
(you see, heerd all about ii afterward)
and they couldn't nobody look at this
Teller any more 'thout his wantin' to
put up his dukes and poke him in the
face. Lord knows how many fights
the Teller would "a had eff ithadn't been
fer the fact that his legs was took from
n Teller that was one of the worst
towards that ever walked. So. list
about when this here patched up CAPT
talist would git his fists in fightin'
positions, them legs would sorter see the
state of things, and he'd run away-or,
ruther, the legs would-like a skeered
dog"
"Seems to me-" said the grocer, "that
if was tellin' that story would have
had one leg wantin' to go forrerd an the
other wahtin' to go backard-so the
Teller would just go round and round
like"
"Wal," said the man with the ginger
beard, 81 might a told it thataway, too
if wanted to lie about it. But ain't
that kind"
And the man with the ginger beard
helped himself 10 handful Of rasin:
and went over to offer suggestions tc
the man who was setting tire for the
! man from Potato Creek.

SAD Lot OF A GLASS EATER.
Inability to Perform Diffionlt Feat Cost
Him His Job.


The advertising agents never get tired.
Wednesday at the Carthage, KY, fair,
says the Cincinnati Times Star, a ragged
negro kept hanging about the piano dis.
play, reaching over the ropes OCCASION
ally and striking chord on the instru.
ments that were open, He begged to be
permitted to play handsome cabinet
organ that stood out of reach, and
toward the closing hour he was granted
permission. He surprised the crowds by
extracting music by the chord from the
organ and in few minutes had big
audience. He played touching southern
airs and appeared greatly affected, sniff
ling and winking his big eyes, while a
deep solemnity was settled on his black
face. AS the strains of Suwanee River
flowed from under his fingers he threw
back his head and burst into tears that
rolled down his face unchecked, for
both hands were busy at the organ He
sobbed like a child, and the peculiar
sight attracted great throng. Many
were the expressions of pity from the
crowd. Poor fellow, winter is coming
on and he is thinking of his sunny
southern home" SAID one. He was no
doubt wealthy once in the south, said
another. The tears and sobs and music
emerging from the negro and the sym.
pathy from the crowd made very dra-
matte setting for what was about 10 fol-
low.
Some one in the crowd pushed up the
ropes and said in loud voice: "Why,
that's the glass eater from the side
show! Why are you not eating glass ~
Done los my job! Oh-ho-a-om
sobbed the negro noisily, but still keep
ing tab on the organ keys and switching
the tune to "Dixie."
Elbow did you lose your iob?" in.
quired kind old lady.
"Broke-out--two- teef-oh-bo-ow
owp' the poor negro cried, while the
tears rolled faster and his chest heayed
as if it would burst.
"Ah, poor fellowW said a gray. haired
farmer. "And how did you break out
your teeth ?"
The crowd strained to catch the reply.
The other exhibits were deserted. The
organ moaned lugubriousiy, and then
amid sobs and tears the performer said /:
"Dey made me cat curl top lamp
chimney. / kin eat tumblers and beer
bottles and anything, but that curl top
Lamp chimney was so tough couldn't
bite it, and it broke my teeth out and |
lost my job, and l want TO go back
down south Oh-h'
But the crowd had faded, and when
he wiped his eyes so he could see where
abouts it was the piano man had thrown
him to, the oil paintings seemed to be
coming in for the greater part of the at
tention. But about 20 of the farmers
were grouped about denouncing the
wicked piano man and wondering
where they could get curl top chimney.

The boomerang, the Australian natives
weapon of offence and defence, referred
to in all reference works as an instru-
ment unknown until after the discovery
of Australia, was doubtless known be-
fore the time of Christ, says the 81.
Louis Republic. Pliny the elder, a con
temporary of cur Saviour, writes as fol-
lows in his Natural History" respect
ing an instrument made of the wood of
the aquifolia;
"If staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength in the person throwing, falls
short of the mark, it will come back 10 .
ward the thrower of its own accord, SO
remarkable are the properties of that
tree"
1t is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the shape
of the "statf' and referred its peculiari-
ties to the nature of the wood of which
il was made.

HRIGHT BoY.


Came Out Ali Right.
1t was during the Hancock campaign
that Eckels first sttmpnd u State other
than his own, declares the Atlanta
Journal He tackled Vermont, where
Democrats are faithful but few, An
amusing experience of his is told BY MT.
Smalley, the Democratic State chairman.
Eckels was sent to Windsor to make q
Democratic speech. II was an event in
the town. There had been none made
there since Franklin Pierce ran for
President, but EclSels had the intrepidity
of youth and didn't mind a little thing
like that.
He had been notified that there would
be delegation To meet him. When he
got off the train he noticed group OF
gray haired residents of to one side,
but as they paid no attention to him,
thinking there was some mistake, he
went off to the hotel, registered and had
room assigned to him.
After he had been there for some
time he heard n gentle tapping at the
door and the delegation he had noticed
at the train entered.
"ls MIR. Eckels in here?" asked the
spokesman stammeringly.
"I'm Eckels," he answered.
"Why, you're only 4 hoy" blurtcd
out the patriarch Democrat.
Il am not very old" Eckels answered.
The delegation then assured Eckels
that they meant no offence, but that
they had billed the town and county
days in advance on the coming of "the
Hon. James H. Eckels of Illinois," and
"if he didn't mind, would he Just as
soon stay in his room until the speak
ing" because if the people saw how
young man he was they might not
come out.
Then the delegation went out in high
dudgeon and wired Smalley
1--WE have advertised man. What
in - have you sent boy for ?"
Eckels remained in his room as re.
quested until the speaking, but he evil
IDENTIFY satisfied the committee, for after
it was over they again wired Smalley
"If you've got any more boys send
'em along"
