A Preferred CrehItnr

A good story about a New York mpr.
chant who recently failed is going the
rounds. He called all his creditors to.
gether, and offered to settle with them
at ten per cent, giving them his notes,
payable in thirty days.
AS most of the creditors had little hone
Of getting anything, they eagerly ac-
cepted the proposition. One man, how
ever, stood out for better terms, and all
efforts to get him to agree were futile.
Finally the bankrupt took him out in tile
hall and said:
Ven you come in an sign nit de ud.
ders, den make you preferred cred
itor,"
All right, said the objector; "under
those circumstances l will agree to a set
Element"
The papers were signed, and all the
creditors left, except the one who had
been told he was t9 he preferred.
Vat are you waiting for?" said the
man who had failed.

"Nell, l tell you-you get notings."

Charity Under Difficulties.


a charity concert was to be given on
shipboard, says the author of "a Winter
Cruise in Summer Seas, but on the ap-
pointed day the wind and sea rose, and
almost every passenger succumbed to
sea-sickness. So rough did it become
that men and women lay prone in the
cabin, clutching at any visible means of
support, in order to escape being hurled
against the walls. All day long had the
manager of the concert, paper and pencil
in hand, been cruising about, interview
ing invalids for particulars of the work
they proposed doing for the entertain
ment.
One minute he might be seen, arm
about stay, trying to make a note on
paper, which would suddenly jump up
and poke the pencil in his eye. Then he
would be graphing with a saloon chair,
which would dash at him and fell him to
to the floor. A little later one might see
him and a possible performer brought to-
gether in a way to make them bosom
euemies.
This concert agent, having by series
Of athletic exercises reached the piano,
thus addressing the audience:

excuse for the song, as she has not yet

pared to play the violin if any gentleman

"You love me, she said sadly, as they
sat together in the Pickering twilight
"for qualities do not possess. 1 am not
an angel, but an ordinary, every day
girl"
Don't depreciate yourself, my dar-
ling, he answered, in his manifest tone.
II love you because very soon you will
he my own dear little wife,"
Was it only her fancy, or did the clock
really tick out the words that sounded so
weird in the silence of the room?
Selfish! Selfish"
They married, and the years went by
years Of trial and triumph, in which
her beauty faded and she changed from
a bright girl to languid woman.
Again they sat together in the twi-
light
"You no longer love me-, she said in
petulant, retrospective way. "You are
tired of me. and yet you once looked for
ward with great longing to the time when
l would be your wife. You promised
then to love me forever"
II shall always love you," he answered,
dropping the syllables with joyous indif-
ference. Il can never forget that once
you were my beautiful sweetheart-you
must always be that in my memory"
And again the clock filled the room
with its old-time monologue:
"Sel-fishi Sel-fish!"

A Chance Acauaintnnce.

Colonel lngersoll told good story to a
party of gentlemen who were calling
lpon him recently. Agenteman entered
street car and took his seat opposite a
fne portly, aristocratic looking person
age, whom he at once thought he recog-
nized. He looked hard at the man for q
time, until he saw he was causing him
considerable discontinue. He then
changed his seat for one beside the hand
some-looking man, and, as ha did so,
turned to the latter with the remark: II
beg yaur pardon, sir, for my question, but
am so strongly seized with the impress
sion that we have met before"
The gentleman good-naturedly replied
that he, too, thought he had seen the
others face, but was at loss to tell
where,
Both rode on in silence for some blocks,
alternately exchanging side glances, but
never saying word. Finally, the man
who had broached the subject broke out
with: Hold on; have it, sir, Weren't
you blown UP at the battle Of Vieksburg?"
sYesS" replied the other, inquiringly.
eThen that explains it. So was L.

"Will the brethren now in the house
who know how to play poker please hold
up their hands?"
He waited minute and not q hand
went up.
"Iam very much obliged, "he said then,
but ] did not think so many of YOU
know how"
There was a sensation in the church,
nut the preacher concluded the services
quietly and afterwards committee
waited on him.
1--WE came to ask you what you meant
by saying that we all knew how to play
poker. when in response to your inquiry
not one of us responded, "said the spokes-
man hotly.
The preacher laughed sootbingly.
Don't let your tempers get the better
Of you, brethren, he replied; "any man
who knows how to play poker isn't going
to show his hand unless he is forced to,
and you know it as well as 1 do"
The committee apologized and reported
to the other members and the preachers

They sat on rain-sodden bench in the
Smithsonian grounds, evidently newly
married couple. The weather was quite
cold, but their love was warm, and the
palpitation of their hearts kept time with
their chattering teeth, Her eyes were
blue as was her nose. One manly arm
encircled her slender waist, while the
other upheld an umbrella. The rain
drops gently trickling down their spines
did not serve to cool their ardor in the
least, and every shiver seemed to cement
them more closely together.
"lt's awfully nice out here in the park,
she murmured. II think Washington is
lovely city for a wedding tour, don't
you. dear?"
Yes, darling, he replied, in an alb.
stracted manner. II shall always come
here in the future"
And then a great. solid chunk of cool.
ness seemed suddenly to come between
them.-Wa ashington Post.

You'll see in the orchestra. ON the right,

And If he doesn't astonish you
With the musical antics he goes through
Why, nobody can
Wrist he plays the I-don't-know- what, whose
tones

Then with jump
He jangles the chords of the tumpty-tum,
Aud he's sure to be back when the big bass

Requires thump.
Next the what-you-may -call-it must be
whacked:
And then from the thingummy he'll extract

While the jiggermaree he will wake to life
It'll it sets you on edges like knife
When its being ground.
And there are those round brass things. you
know;
Whats the name they give 'em m?-er-er-they
GO
Ching-ching! Ching-ching!
Whenever there comes a great big crash
lie uses his feet, and makes 'em clash
Like everything!
There's q little bald man on the other side
W ho stands up and looks rather dignified:
But don't watch him;
lis fiddles the biggest of all, it's true,
But the only thing he can make it do
Is to so "zim-zim!"

Love nnh Wet NYsnther.

A lady who wells in the country has
thls tale to tell concerning the way iE
which one of her domestics entered the
Kingdom of the wed, and it is worthy Of
record as one of the varieties which is al
least amusing.
One day the girl informed her mistress
that she was going to be married. She
had secured a farmer, and the time OF
the wedding was uear at hand.
You see, we are calculating to get
married next Wednesday if it amt too
pleasant, the prospective bride ex.
planned.
"Too pleasant" echoed her mistress
Il should think you would like the
weather to be pleasant.
"Oh, that's all right, " the girl respond
u with an easy air. "You see, if it's a
good hay day he will have to stay at
home and attend to the hay but if it
amt, he's coming into town, and wen
get htched.
But if it is pleasant and he does not
come, what them" inquired the mistress.
oh, if it's pleasant Wednesday, then
hes coming the next rainy day"
Wednesday came, and fairer day had
never been seen, and, of course, there
WAS no bridegroom.
The girl took it very calmly, and came
to ask if she might have loaf of we'd
ding cake made in the kitchen, as there
seemed to be plenty Of time. The mis-
tress gave her consent, and the cook
good -naturedly set to work and manufac.
turcd the confecton.
Thursday also was fair, but Friday was
rainy. All day the girl waited for her
lover, but the unreliable swain did not
come.
Saturday the experience was repeated,
and on Saturday night the deserted dam
sci declared she had no more hope.
We might as well eat the wedding
cake, she announced, with the evident
intention of making the best of the situ-
alton. There amt no chance of a wed.
ding as l can see, and we might as we'll
get what fun we can out of it.
So the domestics, nothing loath, set to
work, and with much jesting devoured
the loaf of cake, with what result to their
digestion has not been recorded.
And 10! on Sunday afternoon the long
lost lover arrived. He casually stated
that he had found a lot of things around
the barn that needed to be attended to
on the two rainy days, and that he had
concluded, on the whole, that the bride
would keep-a way of putting it which
would have cost him his chances were it
not that in the rural districts husbands
are not as plenty as blackberries.
The bride went in to say good-by to
her mistress, and explained her views of
the situation with charming frankness.
snow he's here, 1 think I'd better make
sure of him and marry him right of, +"
she said. He is a good. likely man,
and he's got good farm, and he amt so
over anxious to get married nohow, that
it's likely he'll ever come back if 1 don't
go with him now."
There was no time for more wedding
cake and that was dispensed with. The
pair went off to a clergyman and were
married out of hand. What will be
their future course no man knowsth, but
the former mistress has now story
wherewith to enliven her calls upon
friends, and there is vacancy in her
staff of servants which in the country is
matter of serious import.

Catherine dc nIedici's Doctor.

Pharnelius, like many other physi-
clans, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry II as dauphin and aft
erward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from a state
of childlessness, and who gave him on
the birth of her firstborn $1,000, order
ing that like sum should be paid to him
at the birth of each succeeding son or
daughter. 1 think that Cardano liked
Pharnelius better than he liked Sylvius
He says he was pale, lean man of about

domestic affection. He was the profess

the first court physician, but he must
have puzzled Cassanate greatly, for he
had an undisguised contempt for court
