THE PARSONS PONY.
Rev. MIR. Smith Wins Cool $500
With His Say Mare.

Rev. MIR. Smith Wins q Cool $500
With His Bay Mare.
ct Louis Post-Dispatch
A trotting race with a man who
breaches the gospel as driver is not
an everyday event. Some weeks ago
the Rev. Mr.. Smith came from Dublin,
Ga. While in Dublin he preached the
gospel. He brought with him. in ad-
dition to a bank account, roadster of
unpretentions appearance. 1t was not
long before Smith began talking of the
powers of his horse. Atlanta has many
owners of fast horses. Some of them
heard Smith talking about his steed.
and yesterday PedlgO, one of the best
known horsemen in the South, APP
preached the man from Dublin, saying:
You have been talking about that
horse of yours. I'll bet you $500 that
he can't trot mile in $50"
"Well, you KNOW" replied the
preacher. "that | can't bet, for preach.
But I'll just tell you that the old pony
can beat $50. The owner of the pony
vas urged to make the bet, but he would
not. Soon after the gentleman who
w. 0. Jones. a well-lEown liveryman,
the bet. The race came on yesterday
afternoon. After the party reached
The park Smith asked who was to drive
the mare. "Why. you, of COURSE" said
one of the party. But Pm church
member" replied the preacher. THAT
makes no ditference," was the reply.
"You will drive her all the same or lose
the $3.50. He at length agreed to drive
the mare and asked for the rules. He
was told that he could have three starts
On the trial.
At the word the pony started off and
moved along to the quarter pole, where
the driver pulled up and came back.
What did you do thai for?" asked one
of the men as the others laughed "Oh,
that's nothing" said Smith. II was
just warming her up" WelI that's one
of your starts" he was told. The driver
protested, but at length gave in. asking
if he had two more starts. He was
told that he had, and Smith gave the
old pony lead. She went around the
track in 2:47 and as she came in the
man he had posted the $500 with saw
that the old pony could move. But ON
the move the mare had broken two or
three times and they claimed that it
did not count. well. I've got another
trial, haven't I?' lie asked. He was
told that he had, and then as the last
| trial came he settled himself behind
| the pony and gave her the word. The
| old mare started out as though she
! knew her business, and without break
made the mile III 2:45. AS Smith drove
up to the judge he put out his hand,
| saying: "Give me my $500, please"
| No one talks about the trot now except
| those who were not among the losers.

GEN. RUTLER.
A Few Good Ones on the Old Man

A Few Good Ones on the Old Man
That will Bear Telling.
New York Tribune.
Once while he was in congress he di-
vided his time with a fellow-member
when a question in which he was not
specially interested came up for debate.
The member talked more than his
share, and on being called to order re-
marked: Mr.. Speaker, Gen. Butler
kindly divided his time with me.'
THAT'S true" Butler replied, but l
didn't divide eternity with YOU" The
general was present one night at
dancing party, but cOntented himself
with looking on.
One of the bellies invited him to waltz
with her, and on his declining with
pretty compliment. she inquired:
Don't you ever dance, general?" NO"
he explained to her, 81 make other peO-
pie dance"
Undertaking to talk down crowd of
street rioters, he had an apple thrown at
him. Putting out his hand he dexter
Ously caught it and interrupted his re-
marks long enough to eat it. The Incl.
dent pleased the rioters, and he was
given hearing. The next day one of
IllO newspapers vi lllO CliJ III WHICH tllC
riot occurred mschievously rallied him
on eating the apple, reminding him that
1t probably reached HIM from Il very
dirty hand.
The general sent a card to the news
paper, saying: II peeled that apple
before eating it. l always peel apples
before eating them-don't yOu?"
During the war a young fellow had
occasion to call upon him in Boston in
behalf Of a lyceum which wanted him
to lecture before it. The general re-
celyed the youth with great kindness.

one which | would be willing to deliver

siderable time. Now. do you think L

The general bowed him out of his Office

THE OAK CHEST.
A Relic ofPrimitive Luxury Much
Demand Nowadays.

Cornhill Magazine.
Every one who pretends to have a
little taste nowadays lays out some
money i'll buying a genuine old oak
chest-that is to say,an oak chest which
he believes to be genuine and the
blacker it is the more confident does he
feel that he is the posSeSsOr OF a gem
uine article. IT, moreover, there be a
date on the chest, then his confidence
is complete.
The dealers know exactly what he
wants, and they manufacture and
blacken the chests they make to meet his
requirements. 1t is fraud to date the
chest, but buyer has no reason to COM
plain if he gets copy OF good antique.
He has but to take his penknife and try
the WOOD, and he can easily convince
himself whether the article be new or
old. Two hundred years passing over
an old chest or old cabinet harden the
wood till pen-knife blade will make
no Impression on 1t: whereas that of the
modern antique is fresh and soft, and
when a chip is removed the dye is
shown to be but skin-deep.
The oak chest is the most primitive
of all articles of furniture, and it served
great many purposes. 1t was the
receptacle for clothes, for money, for
every kind of vaIuaDles; but it was also
seat, a table, bed and even a coffin.
And as the old chest is the most print
tive and necessary of all articles of
furniture, so has it been one of the first
| to have attention devoted to make 1t
ornamental. Every maiden and every
! man must have had his chest,to contain
| her and his treasures, and not treasures
only. but garments as we'll; and in the
| long winter evening what more natural
| than that each should endeavor to
| decorate the exterior OF his or her chest,
i according to taste or fancy, and thus i'm
| part to it an individual character?
| 1t is not likely that a girl would carve
! the oak of her chest, but it is extremely
! probable that she would exact the
! ornamentation Of it with craving tools as
! repayment for her HeedleWork on the
garments of men. Nevertheless, some
OF the decoration may have been
the work of women, notably thai
which is produced by hot irons
! Smaller boxes certainly were
made beautiful by the hands of theil
miStresSeS, and many of these remain
! incased ID white satin, richly embroid
cred or decorated with bead-Work
The maiden's chest contained the liner
she had spun, linen that was to serve
for the house over which, on marriage
she would become mistress. In Tyrol
to the present day, the bride is brough
to the house of her husband seated OF
top of her chest in wagon, and tina
chest is filled with sheets and many ell:
of lined that she has woven during hel
spinster days.

FROM RHYMsTERS.

A last word in the yestibule,
A touch of taper fingers;
A scent of roses sweet and cool,
When she has gone. still fingers.
He pauses at the carriage door
To sigh bit and ponder
He thinks the matter DER and DER,
And all his senses wander.
With mantle thrown aside in haste,
Her heart bit uncertain;
And neither time nor love to waste
She watches through the curtain.
And she has played him well, he knows,
Nor has he cared to stop her.
She wonders when he will propose;
He wonders how he'll drop her.
Vogue.
She sweeps the bow across the strings
With deft and facile grace.
Beneath her chin the violin
Rests in nest OF lace.
Her dreamy eyes with wondrous depths
The dropping lashes hide,
rapt expression lights her face
Till 1t seems glorifed.
Her rounded arm. half-bared to view,
Her slender. graceful form,
Her soft brown hair, surprising fair,
Her lips with color warm,
Make her picture as she stands,
Lost in the dreamy thing
or Liszt's she's playing-Hi! what's that?
By George, she snapped string?

A Cold Spot.

Boston Traveller.
News from st. Petersburg on Feb. 25
was that for more than two months past
the thermometer there had registered
from Is to SO degrees below zero, Fab
renheit. The intense cold weather had
continued throughout almost the whole
of Northern and Central Russia, and
many persons had lost their lives
through exposure. Twelve peasants
children in village in the province Of
KaIouga started from school one night,
against the advice of the schoolmaster,
the temperature being 81 below zero,
and were found next day frozen to death
on the highway, having been oYertaken
by snow storm.

The old motto, IA place for every
thing and everything in its place" is
only epitomizing the idea of system. 1t
is so much easier to do thing at GER
tain time if we have been accustomed to
do it at that particular time, because we
are creatures of habit. Some one says
that IF you will only set up your own
way and stick to 1t, everybody else will
turn out for you," and that is another
reason for being systematic about
your work. A bright woman in
the Philadelphia Times writes
about system, or what is the
same thing management" IN TINS way.
There is nothing that so materially aids
in the performance of our daily duties
as good management. 1t is this quality
that makes one task fit into another
with an eXactness of precision that
leaves in the end full and clear space
for rest and enjoyment. We all know
the hurly-burly that results from lack
of system and realize what an uncom-
Portable home is made through the slip
shod methods of its mistress. Frequent
ly one hears the ecomium, she Is
such an excellent manager" and we
know that the person in question Is
thrifty, systematic woman whose house
is regulated with clock-work precision,
and who can get more real value from
S. than another can from twice that
amount.
System in the home forms the basis OF
the comfort Of all those who dwell
therein. The husband and father knows
that his meals will be on time and nicely
served, the children will learn habits of
promtnesS and neatneSS under the tut
ton of a mother who rules skilfully and
well. and the servants in such house
hold will accomplish more work because
their tasks are cut out for them-each
day having its especial branch of labor
planned by the general-in-chief, the
systematic housewife.
In home where such management
exists there will be no trains lost or
tardy ones to school owing to the UNI
certainty regarding the time for serv-
ing breakfast. There will be no min.
utes of anxiety and loss Of temper oc-
casioped by hunts for missing articles.
In such home there is place for
everything and everything is in its
place, and the delightful atmosphere of
precision and eXactitude without prim-
ness is the reward that comes to all
those who work out their daily lives
on system.

The Grocer and the Pretty Girl
New York Herald

The Grocer and the Pretty Girl.
New York Herald.
She is pretty and pert, aud as she en-
tiers the grocery store the eyes of the
proprietor follow her round in silent adj
miration. She asks for celery. and while
she is trying to make up her mind as to
whether she will take 10-cent bunch
or 13-cent bunch, she eats nuts out of
basket and throws the shells on the
floor.
The eyes of the proprietor still follow
her, but there is different look in their
depth. After having niDbled at some
dates, whose stones follow the shells,
she tries some crackers. samples some
cheese and finally decides on 10-cent
bunch of celery, which she requests the
groceryman to ''Send round as soon as
possible"
With final grab at handful of nuts
she makes her way out, leaving trail
of shells. stones and cracker crumbs.
The grocer orders the boy to ''sweep
up, "and spends the rest of the evening
in trying to calculate how much he lost
on that bunch of celery.

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER

His home is in the eepiug car,
No vine or fig trees shade,
His music is it's claiking wheels,
His poetry is trade.
This missionary of the mart
He spreads the true faiths germs,
The endless merits of his house
Above all other firms.
The heroes of baronial times
Were armed from hair to heel,
With iron pots upon their heads
And pantaloons of steel;
The hustler hero Of today
Is armorless and weak,
But for the vigor of his tongue
And blushless breadth of cheek.
He meets all men with fearless mien,
Nor knows to pause or swerve,
With Liliputian bashfulness
And Brobdignagian nerve.
No dim distractions vex mis- soul;
His creed and happiness
Is just TO make a sale and catch

As one Of the results Of the disaster to
the Victoria, English shipOuil1ers and
English naval authorities are discussing the
need Of new and more efficient ram. Not
that the damage done to the Victoria was
not great enough to demonstrate the de-
structive power Of the Camperdown, but
the damage done to the Camperdown was
too great, as that vessel was disabled. and
would have gone down with the Victoria.
but for its water-tight compartments. The
English are now discussing the advisability
OF constructing a vessel for no other pur-
pose than ramming. II IS to carry no guns
except small rapid-fre guns for dealing
with torpedo attacks. 1t is to lie low in the
water. and have a speed Of eighteen knots
Its pointed stern would be made of solid
Iron. that would not be liable to be turned
by blow. One Of the criticisms of the ex-
istins type OF rams Is the fragility Of the
part intended for rammlng. They are really
ordinary war vessels. with a ramminz at
tachment. The idea is that every fleet
would be accompanied by one or more of
the proposed rams. and they would be pro.
tected by the fleet until the time for "a
ming came. and then rush out upon the
enemy's ships.
