TWO IRISH BOYS.
They Would Not lie Laughed Out of Their
Purpose and Achieved Success,

They Would Not lie Laughed Out of Their
Purpose and Achieved Success.
Thirty years ago two Irish immigrants
employed as portcrs In New York ware
houses undertook to study law. After
working from morning until night pack
ing goods, loading drays and making de-
liveries they sat up until 10 o'clock In
their rooms In boarding house reading
lawbooks and discussing principles and
cases. The ambitious young men were so
deeply interested In their night work that
they frequently argued points of law dur
ing leisure moments at the store and nat
urally exposed themselves to chatting and
ridicule. With Irish wit they parted
every thrust and never lost their tempers
Their companions nicknamed them
Judge and Lawyer John and asked them
mookingly whether they thought that
merchants would consult them as lawyers
after employing them as portcrs
"They may do it," answered Judge,
"after We have worked up fino criminal
practice in keeping out of the pcnitentiary
night brawlors like yourselves who ought
to be in their beds and asleep"
Instead of loading your drays," said
an incorporate clerk, lyon stand There
arguing whether an injunction could not
be brought against the firm for obstructing
the sidewalk. You nre your own lawyers,
and you have fools for clients"
Judgment may DO affirmed" said
Lawyer John, "but not with costs. We
have borrowed our lawbooks, and we save
money by keeping out Of the saloons. 1t
costs us less to fuddlo our brains with law
than with drink. A debauoh over Black
stone leaves better taste in the mouth
than night spent in carousing."
So the laugh in the end turned against
the Incorporate clerk. The young porters
know how to take and return joke. BY
their good humor they amused everybody
in the store, and IL was not long before
members of tho firm helped them to get
clerkships in law offices.
One Of them Is today on tho bench, and
the othor is n lawyer with lucrative prao-
tice. They made their way rapidly, and
neither criticism nor ridicule kept them
back.-Youth's Companion.

Even If one is a fool it is q good thing
to know 1t. Bishop B., prominent
dignitary Of tho Episcopal church, visited
the mining district near Joplin with a
party of St. Louisans. The party left the
town and strolled out to where a new
shaft was being sunk. A man was seen
laboripusly turning windlass which
hoisted bucket Of rock from tho shaft.
There was nothing remarkable about the
man except his hat, the crown of which
had been cut in such a manner that the
hot sun beat upon his bald head continu-
ally. Some of his companions had recon-
mended this as sure to produce lnxuriant
crop of hair.
After watching the man toiling and
grunting at his heavy labor for awhile the
bishop said, with concern:
My friend, why don't you cover up
your heads This hot sun will affect your
brain"
Brain, is it9" said tho man as he gave
the windlass another turn. ''Be jabers,
and If had any brains dye think I'd be
here pullin up this bucketg"
The bishop and his party hastily retired
and took tho next train for st. Louis.-St.

Tact and truthfulness should I've used in
administering medicine to children. The
administration Of medicines to infants and
children requires both skill and tnGt.
Measures that conduce to tho physical
comfort of the little patient are readily
recognized and appreciated, but the good
effects of IA nauscous dose are not so appar-
ent, and children will often evince a re-
pugnanco to taking medicine that can
only be overcome by the greatest irmness
and tnct. Parents and nurses, therefore,
should endoaynr to gain the entire conf
deneo of the child. Above ALL they should
never deceive it by the assurances that an
unpleasant mixture is agreeable, as the
confidence thus lost can seldom be ro-
gained, Absolute truthfulaess is esse initial
in all dealings with children, and many II
child can often be induced to take dis
agreeable drug If assured that it is for its
good by SEINE one whom 1t trusts. Much
has been done of late years toward making
medicines for children more agreeable but
there isstill roomfor Improvement, and the
administration of drugs remains a difficult
task, especially in the cases of spoiled and
poorly trained MISUNDERSTANDING Record.

THE STORAGE BATTERY.
Its Coming Utility Not In the Least
Doubted by Electricians.

It's Coming Utility Not In the Least
Doubted by Electricians.
The storage battery is another young
hopeful of which the public entertains
great expectations. Its growth has boon
somewhat slow and disappointing, but
this Is partly due to the atmosphere of le-
gal uncertainty by which 1t has been sur
rounded, and there is good reason to be-
lievc that before many years tho storage
battery will be practical success for
many kinds Of work. For street car serv-
ice Its advantages over the trolley system,
provided 1t can be made equally practical
and economical, are generally recognized.
For long distance railways it has several
attractive features as compared with the
trolley system. 1t would enable electric
trains to be run on any existing track
without the construction of limo work. 1t
would save the cost of "step up" trans
formers ut each station, primary line work,
''step down" transformers. 1t would ena-
bic the generating capacity of each station
to be reduced to just enough, when worked
continuously, to charge tho batteries dur
ing the intervals between trains, while
with the trolley system each station must
DO large enough to operate the train or
trains that may DO on Its section at any
ono time, although idle during the re-
mainder of tho day.
The natural conclusion from this com
parison is that the trolley system will find
its most favorable application on roads
with heavy traffic, where the stations can
BIO placed at moderate intervals and given
steady work, while for lines with less fro
quent trains tho storage battery offers tho
most hopeful and, in fact, the only Geo.
noInical solution.
When the storage battery can be made
at half the present price, with twice Its
present life end capacity per pound of bat
terry and with "a safe and fairly efficient
discharge rate twice as high as the present
limit, conditions by no means hopeless, it
will become a very formidable rival of the
trolley. -Engineering Magazine.

brought his coffee In the morning, the
chambermaid or perhaps two chamber
maids, the porter who brought up his
trunks and tho porter who carried them
down, a third who put them ON O cab, a
fourth who looked on while 1t was loaded,
