Dummies In the Band,

Qunrtermnster Licbich of the Fifth
regiment made Il discovery once and has
been careful over since Whenever he has
occasion to engage band to play mar
tial music for the gallant boys III blue.
II wanted to engage brass band, F"
said he, and there was certain rivalry
among the boys that made it difficult TO
reach conclusion l finally made up
and the next day the bandmaster of the
rival organization said to me, you
watch your band tomorrow and see that
they don't ring in any dummies on
you " 1 didn't know what the man was
talking about, SO / asked him to OK
plain, and he did a light then dawned
upon me, for he gave the snap dcliber-
ately away, that while leaders of GER
tain bands collect so much per man
from the people that engage them they
frequently ring in people in the band
that don't know bar of music from
bar of soap. They just simply walk
along with the rest of the players and
nobody is any the wiser. The next day
the parade took place, and 1 followed
the advice of the other leader and
watched my band carefully. 1t didn't
take long to pick ont the two dummies
They just strollcd along with the brass
instruments ut their mouths and acted
rs though they played without initiating
their checks. We had to pay for those
fellows So apiece just the same. :"
And what did you do?"
II asked the leader to tell the two
dummies to play solos. -
"And they did?''
Not by a jugful. He simply said
that that wasn't in the contract, and he
refused to do it. / have had my eyes
opened since, and you may rest assured
they don't ring in any more 80 cent
dummies on me and charge me SO fog
them. ''-Clcveland World

FOR HER

For her the sweetest blossoms should breathe q
perfume rare.
For her the tenderest music should como foot
ing through the air.
For her the choicest pleasures should bodeck
and pave the way
And brightest beams of sunlight at her feet In
glory play.
For her The blushing rosebud should discard it's
cruel thorn
And for her heaving bosom other eager seurch-
erS scorn.
For her n pure contentment should throw Its
arms about
And circle her, while pleasure shuts oil care
and sorrow out.
For her I'd make tho journey through this
land of bitter tears
A lasting day of smiling love, devoid of doubt
and fears.
Her path should glow rcsplendent. the way be
like dream.
I'd make her life with happiness like dearest
heaven seem

Reproductive Power of Memory.

As the child, flashing about him bit
of burning stick, may seem to make
circle of flame because the flame point
moves SO quickly, so memory, though it
does go from point 10 po.nt and dwclls
for some inconccivably minute instant
on each part of the remembrance, may
yet be gifted with such lightning speed
with such rapidity and awful quiclncss
of glance, as that to the man himself
the effect shall be that his whole life
is spread out there before him in one
instant, and that he, godlikc, sees the
end and the beginning side by side

But They Were Forgiven For His Fine Art
err Dinner Speech.
The genial old philanthropist, Horace
Greeley, went to New Orleans after the
south had taken him to her heart in
grateful recognition Of his action III 60
ing on the jeff Davis bail bond, and the
people were anxious to show him every
attention i'll their power. :.
A dinner seemed TO be the proper
thing, and the markets Of New Orleans.
than which there arc few better III the
world, were ransacEed to make the &C.
casion us notable for its Winds as foi
the distinction of the guest and the din
ers. Judge Walker, tho veteran editor
of The Picayunc, presided. He was Is
great gorlnand, and after the manner
Of gornlanGs wished noDe of the tine
points OF tho dinner to DO lost to the
guest fer lack Of commentary.
"Mr. Greeley, " said he, these oys-
tiers are the best that come to our niar-
ket, and we think they vie with those
of Norfolk. l observe that you are not
eating them.'
"Well, nc" replied Greeley. 1.-The
truth is l never could abide shellfsh. !"
And he passed.
Then came some delicious green tur-
tie soup. which Judge Walker explain
ed was prepared from the finest fat tur-
tie the Florida bays could afford.
mo doubt, no doubt, was the reply
in Greeley's peculiar whine, ''but cold
blooded animals are an abomination to
me-"
Tho pompano, imperial fish that it is,
and fresh from the gulf, was open to
the same objection, despite Judge Wal
ker's eulogy, and that, too, was passed.
MI. Greeley barely tasted the accompa-
nying Partisan dainty and shook his
head ruefully at the idea hat anybody
would impair his digestion by eating
cucumbers. Shrimp salad, another New
Orleans delicacy, proved nc more tempt.
ing. Shrimps, he said, looked SO much
like worms that they always give him
the creeps.
"Ah, here is something you will like
Ia homely dish in NAME" said Judge
Walker, but Ct for the gods. 1t is a
Galicia ham," And then he went on
to tell how tho hogs from which these
hams were obtained were fed only on
chestnuts, making tie flesh luscious and
delicious.
Perhaps so, very interesting in
deod,' observed Greeley, ''but do you
know, judge, that there is SO much talk
of trichina nowadays that | wouldn't
dare taste u bit Of pork"
The judge gave mp in despair. The
only things in all the array of dainties
which had been provided which MIR.
Greeley would eat were bread, potatoes
and ~cauliflower, and he feared that he

INVESTIGATING AN ACCIDENT.
The Railroad Engineer Gets Out OF Trouble
Tor Running Too Fast.

The Railroad Engineer Gets Out Of Trouble
Tor Running Too Fast.
Superintendent Warren of the East
ern Illinois railway was telling the 9TH
er evening of a certain engineer in the
employ of the road who had been re-
peatedly cautioned against running too
fast. He was running a freight train,
and on one portion of his division there
was a steep hill. His orders were to
never permit his train to go down that
hill faster than 10 miles an hour, but it
was general belief that whenever he had
a safe opportunity he sailed down that
grade Just "a fast as the wheels would
turn. One day he did go down the hill
30 fast that the entire train left the
track at the bottom. and there were box
cars piled mp high. An investigation
Immediately followed, and the engi-
neer, in railroad parlance, was put on
the carpet" He swore in the most
solemn terms that he went down the
hill not faster than 10 miles N hour,
but that just before reaching the bot
tom he lost control Of the airbrake, and
the speed became so great the train
could not keep the track; hence the
wreck. for which he was not response
BILE.
But, !" said his superintendent, I'VE
have q mar here, q farmer, who was on
the hillside that day when you came
down. He stood at the edge Of a clear
ing. saw you at the top and all the way
down, and he will swear that he never
saw a train going SO fast in all his life,
and he is q mar go years old He says
that it was next to an impossibility to
see the wheels. What do you say to
that?"
The engineer never hesitated.
II know the man. Isaw him the day
after the wreck, and he told the same
story to me, only there was a little more
to il.
"What was that?"
"Why, he told me that it was the
first train of cars he had ever seen in
his life, and | don't think he would be
q very good judge of speed"
There was silence in the room for q
few moments, and the engineer got off
with a go days suspension. Chicago
