A FUNNY SIGN.

The Joke That an American Had on IN
Englishman.
A certain Philadelphia gentleman of
more name than fame was ordered by
his physician to travel for the benefit
of his health.
He went to England, and after firing
of humping through London he decided
to hire trap and see the beauties of
interior England in dignified ease and
luxury.
just then he fell in with a hearty,
good-natured Englishman, and as they
soon became fast friends, the American
invited the other to attend him on his
coaching trip.
The son of John Bull accepted, and
during the days of pleasure that fol-
lowed, each frequently and in a joking
manner improved every occasion to
laud his own country and express his
contempt of the other.
On the evening of the fourth day. as
they were driving along a dusty road,
the American pulled the horses up
suddenly and proceeded to read sign:
ITO Manchester twenty miles," and
underneath were the words: IF you
cannot read this sign apply for infor-
nation at the blacksmith shop"
swell, I'll be darned!" said the
American. eff that isn't the most RI
diculous sign ever saw
''Jove, old man." replied the Eng
lishman, that sign is all right, isn't
it? don't see anything the matter"
"You don't, eh? Well, then, you just
sleep over it and see what you think in
the morning."
The next morning the Englishman
came down beaming.
81 say, old man." he said, wisely,
''that was a funny sign to put up. for
don't you see the blacksmith might
not be in after all, you know."-Bos-
ton Budget.

DON'T SAVE LETTERS.

The Usolesanesa Of Allowing Old Missives
to Accumulate.
Tear up all letters that it is not neces-
sary to preserve as soon as you have
read them.
They accumulate in the most amaz-
ing way if you don't, and take up a
great deal of room. to no purpose.
For my part, think the reading over
of sold missives is rather sad affair,
and could we'll be dispensed with. It
is very seldom that one doesn't suggest
a melancholy train of thought.
If the writer isn't dead the chances
are that he or she has changed. and the
written lines fail to give us the pleas
ure that they once did.
am looking an old letter over at
this moment, and my eye strikes this
line:

on this earth as do Henry Lane. If
he should propose to NE would be the
happiest girl in the world"

Mr.. Kent talked so long that the
governor invited him to take dinner
with his family, and the guest proved
such an interesting talker that Mrs.
Ixtel late in the afternoon proposed to
the governor that it would be far more
hospitable to have the gentleman stay
with them than to 60 of to hotel
He played backgammon that night
with the governor; sang the latest
songs for Miss Ixtel and accompanied
himself on the piano; and he sat-up till
twelve o'clock talking politics and
drinking the governors whisky.
The next day about nine o'clock in
the morning, the prisoner, a round
shouldered old man with great deal
of character in his square jaw and
massive chin and deep-set scintillant
black eyes, was brought into the
Office of the prison. No one was pres
emit but the governor and the reporter.
"Laport," said the governor, heres

sideration than you do me-"
The old man looked from one of the
men to the other with a sullen de-
fiance. "You can save yourself the
trouble, he said. 1--WE nothing to say"
He folded his arms and stood looking
at the ceiling.
''Well, sit down and be comfortable,
if you can't be human" said the gov
ernor. There's chair"
Kent then began free and easy
explanation to which Laport paid very
little attention. He approached the
subject of his inquiry, the governor
thought, with great tact, and then
asked one or two unimportant ques-
tions.
The only answer the man made was
to turn to the governor.

A physician tells the Cincinnati

Laport dropped his head between his
hands. The governor gave q shrug
and turned to the door. 1--WE heard of

said. Its holiday work to squeezing
that old bundle of scrap-iron."

sat down on the iron bed.
The governor then went out. Kent
heard the great bolt shot with an iron
clang.
Now then" he said so that. the
Governor could hear him on the other
side Of the door if he listened. This
is the last chance I've got to talk to-
you, my friend. If you will tell me

you the influence of powerful friends"
He listened. He heard the retreat
ing footsteps of the governor in the
corridor. He sprang softly but quickly
to the iron door and put his ear down.

away.

of an influential New York paper with
q letter to the governor-the officer
that under the old system we knew as
the warden.
And here the story of the great con-
spiracy properly begins.
A card was brought to the official
bearing the name of 'Andrew Kent"
with the title of the New York news
paper in the corner, and it was fol-
lowed by a well-dressed man of about
thirty, whose easy dignity and in

''You are Gov. Ixtel, I presumed"
The governor smiled and said he was.
81 am from the New York newspaper
whose name you saw on the card. I
have been sent on an errand which this
letter will explain"
The governor put on his glasses and
read the letter that was handed to him.
1t ran as follows:
ITO TIE GOVERNOR OF THE FEDERAL PRIS-
on ETC, ETC: The bearer of this, MI. Kent,
is connected with the stan OF this paper and is
sent to you to obtain, IL possible, an interview
with the prisoner Jean Laport, now under SEN
tence for manslaughter. The interests Of the
political party now in power can be materially
advanced II this man can be induced to talk
and, If possible, furnish some Information con-
corning his confederates in . vast scheme TO
rob the government It is assumed that the pris-
oner, who Is virtually under o life sentence, can
have no good reason for longer keeping silent,
and it is thought by the managers OF this paper
that an adroit man. like the bearer OF this, If
furnished the facilities, may succeed in eliciting
the Information. which will be Of great service
in the coming campaign to the administration.

Respectfully, etc, etc"
Gov. Ixtel, a plethoric and good-na-
tured man when not dealing with con-
victs, let his hand drop to his side with
the letter in it. With the other he took
off his glasses and looked at Mr.. Kent
with broad smile.
"Why, bless your enterprising soul"
he said. that old alligator won't talk.
You couldn't pump ten words out of
him if you worked q month"
Nevertheless" replied Mr.. Kent, 81
