Two Way, Of s.slpr a Picture.

An artist had sold a picture for an ex-
orbitant price, and the purchaser sued to
recover. The barrister for the purchaser
was making the artist uncomfortable by
his questions.
"Now, cir" he said in that pleasant,
ingratlating name Of lawyers with a
witness, "do you think anybody could
see beauty in that picturep"
"Some persons certainly could" re-
piled the artist.
'You think the initiated in technical
matters might have no difficulty In I'M
~derstanding your work.
II am sure they would not"
"Do you think you could make me see
any beauty in that pictureT" this most
superciliously.

fist was most humble, "but once / could
have done so easily"

One Of the most MoesinH ot0Ivs'
ing upon the officers Ola Warship Is that
Of preventing the men from smupylirg
intoxicants aboard the ship.
A company Of half q dozen men on
ono Of the warships here during the ma
val review had a young parrot for a pet
housed In q gorgeous big cage. The bird
was the successor Of several that had oc'
cupied the same cage during a stay at o
tropical port. The owners seemed - DO
unfortunate with their pets, which lived
only a short time. The one they brought
here, which had stood the voyage well,
died soon after the ship arrived in port.
The men took the cage ashore and got
some other kind Of bird. That also soon
died, and 90 did four or five others In
succession within a few weeks.
Finally the officers noticed the great
mortality Of pet birds, as they had also
noticed the great frequency with which
the joint owners Ct these pets got mys'
%teriously drunk aboard ship. A suspi,
cion dawned upon them, aud they seized
the birdcage. They found it had a false
bottom, with a capacity for several
quarts Of whisky. and also that Che food
tins and even the thick bars were hol,
low. The men had killed their CHEAP
pet when other schemes for obtaining
liquor were not available. and taking
the cage ashore for another came back
with a new bird and half a gallon or SO

A Louisville railroad man has a dog
that distinguishes tie days of the week
and different railroad trains. On days
when Midget's owner makes his regular
trips the dog accompanies him TO the
station, but never attempts to board tho
train-just stays on the platform, an in
terested spectator, and wags his tail
ch~eerfully as the train moves out. On
other days and other trains-suburban
trains to Falkland or Pewee Valley
he hops aboard without hesitation, evil
IDENTIFY aware that the ride in prospect is
one that he may share. Midget swears,
too; swears like a pirate.
The family understand him, but they
report that his language is too terrible
to be repeated. When things don't go
to suit him, he retires under a bed OF
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but the dog got even. He actually
broke off the match. He knew the regu-
lar nights on which the youth appeared,
and Mt an early hour would ensconce
himself under the parlor sofa, from
which coign Of vantage he would growl
forth such volleys of personal and pro
fame remarks that the prospective lover
became intimidated and ceased his at
tentions. In recognition of these serv-
ices Midget's master gave him a beauti.

How Enterprising Iowa Girls Helped tho
Church and MatrimOny.
Down in an Iowa town, not so very
far below the Minnesota line, there is a
progressive little church. Some time
ago It was fouad necessary to raise a
certain amount for a certain purpose.
The young ladies' Of the church took tho
matter in hand, and after going over the
many ways which had been tried in
times past to raise money decided upon.
a new plan.
They decided to let the young men OF
the town who felt like doing something
in the interest of the church hold their
hands for a certain length Of time for a
given sum-50 cents for holding q girls
hand 25 minutes seems to have been
about the average. 1t is said that the
plan worked to a charm, and that the
Golfers Of the church swelled perceptibly
after the hand holding social was over.
The man who is empowered to issue
marriage licenses in that town ought to
do a rushing business from this time on,
for it was also proposed, and this met
with instant favor among the young
men, to sell kisses at the average of rs
cents. 1t is limited that decorous hugs

James N. Atwood Of this town has in
his possession the shackles worn by John
Brown when he was captured. Soon
after the execution Of John Brown, IN
1859, Rev. Hezekiah Atwood, originally
Of Livermore, Ne, was in Charleston,
Va, and while there visited the Jail
where Brown was incarcerated awaiting
execution. he was shown the leg irons
which were placed upon Brown ct tho
time Of his capture and worn constantly
by him until his execution. Ho tried to
purchase the shackles, but was told that
it would be impossible. Asking the old
negress what would happen II the irons
should disappear and another pair be
substituted, she replied that "the mum.
Der would be good" evidently with no
idea Of their historical value. Mr.. At
wood after much difficulty procured an,
other pair at IN expense Of So and was
soon in possession of the coveted shac.
kles. At one time during the lifetime Of
Mr.. Atwood they were used in lectures
