In certain town ill Nevada there was at ono time a justice of tho peace who had been born ill the Emerald Isle. and whose blunders occaSioncd many q smile to the better educated members ot the community.
 At ono time a subpoena had been is sued from his court to another Irishman to attend as witness ill case where James Smith was the plaintiff and Isaac Williams ct al. worc the defend ants.
 Michael FenneSsey, the desired wit ness, appeared ill court before the trial commenced, and during an informal preliminary conversation ho asked bluntly: Judge, who ill the world is 'et al. 2? That's fwat Oi m wantin t be towld"
 "Well, well, Moichacl. exclaimed his honor ill evident aua2cu>,it, "Ni must say Oi'm bit surprised that ul' Amirican citizen, an a man av orlU- nary intillisince, should not know tHa manin of ct al.

 As he pressed his contribution into the palm of my hand visions of roast beef and charlotte russo arose in my fovcrish brain.
 May God bless you and keep you!' exclaimed ns hurried away into the gath ering darkness toward flickcring street lamp. had not possessed whole half dollar at ono time for many days, and dc, sired to feast my eyes on tho refrtshing sight before fcastcd upon what the GOV eted coin would buy.
 Beneath the pale light of tho uncertain street lamp paused, full of expectancy, intoxicated with anticipation.
 As recall that moment l marvel that my system withstood tho terrible shock.
 Thcrc in tho solitude of tho quiot stra>t, in the palIid gaslight, shaking with rcfv- ous excitement, I opened my hand.

RENT PAID IN ROSES.
Mannheim. PA.. Observes a Quaintly Poetic
 Custom.

Custom.
 LANQAsTER, Pa., June 11.-The Feast of Roses" one of the most beautiful oi tho ceremonies observed in this region of quaint religious sects. was celebrated in tho church in Mannheim, pretty agricul- tural village of this county.
 One hundred and twenty years ago, when Lancaster county was moro nearly akin to a wilderness than to tho garden spot which now makes 1t famous in agri- cultural Pennsylvania, tho struggling re- dgious workers in Mannheim began a move- mept toward erecting permanent place of worship. The ground for tho church was donated by Baron Stiegel, a largo land owner in tho vicinity.
 The gift was not made outright, but was coupled with a poetic sentiment ex- pressed in the decd that tho consideration Of the transfer was an annual rental to consist of ono red rose. Ever since that tkme tho red roso has been paid, and grad wally rent day has developed into festi- val in rose time. Tho blossoms arc now in the full perfection of their bloom, and the church was transformed into 0 bower of gorgeous beauty.
 Residents of the surrounding country side came in wagons and on foot with their contributions of blossoms. Tho ccremo- nies consisted of literal compliance with the requirement. of the terms of tho origi- nal decd The oration was delivered by Attofnos General Hensol of pea'rsylyania

Senator George of Mississippi speaks with a broad southern accent. Just aft CT tho organization of the Fiftv-svroud congress the senator one day walked over to the house and proceeded to % by the doorkecpcrs.
 One of the guardians, not knowing the Mississippi statesman, laid his hand on his arm and detained him.

HIS INVENTiON.
It Didn't Turn Out In Exactly the Way He
 Hoped

hopeU
 Therc Is in n prominent State street business house bookkCCpCr who has an i'll Ycntive mind. And this Look keeper has too, n charming little home on Garfield avenue, of which he is naturally proud. The house Is handsome combination of brick and stone, and in front of it there is lawn something larger than n Column bian stamp.
 If the owner is proud of tho house, he iS loubly proud of that lawn. In the long Eummor evenings he has sat on his porch and admired it; Tn tho calm, drowsy mid night he frequently left his couch to see if it was still there. He just fairly lavishcd the wealth of his affections upon that lawn. Early in tho spring he bought a mower. and with it he trimmed the grass, but in the course of time he became convinced that the mower was a clumsy machine in- decd and entailcd too much hard work in its operation.
 So tho bookkecpcr of the inventive mind went to work to manufacture lawn mower that would operate itself, For some weeks he has been toiling during spare hours in his little shed behind tho house, and the other evening he invited the neighbOrS over to sec the machine at work. It was larger than the ordinary lawn mower and had innumerable wheels and springs.
 You see, said the inventor, tho ma chino Is wound up like a clock, and then 1t will work continuously for three hours, and all 0 man has to do is to hold the han dle and guido 1t. Now watch mo while press this knob and set it in motion.'
 Hc pressed tho knob while tho ncighbors watched and the mower started of brave ly, but in q minute or tTo something went wrong with it, and it gave a snort and two or thrro convulsivc jerks and became unmanagcahlc The owner, who tried to hang on to the handlN, was slam med against trcc with such force that he knocked tho bark off, and then tho mower whirred after one of the nCighbOr'S, n cor pulent broker and chased him around the house three times, finally causing him to climb tree.
 It then attacked a valuable bird dog be- longing to another ncighbor and sliced tho animal shamcfully, leaving fragments of it all over the lawn. Somebody had tho prcsonce of mind to send for ths police, and a squad of officers soon arrived, but bsforN they appeared tho frantic mowoT had loppod of the hind legs of horse that was t3ed at the curb and mado mincc- meot of q half dozen Poland China chick ens, and 1t was trying to mow ias way through the trco when tho police arrived and chlorofoESned It.
 Seventoen suits for damnCrs havc been brouRAs against tho bookkecpcr, and the neighbors havo such contempt for him that they are throwing all their old tin cans and dead cats on his cherished lawn, and he hasn't enough courage left to make q protest. Next year he will usr a Scythe Chicago Tribune.

Come. all you fair young housewives and lis ten unto me q mean those lucky ones who are from servant bondage free), And some advice I'll give you in simple little song. With the simple little chorus of-Girls, you go along.
 Oh. as you go along, Leave everything where il should be, girls, as you go along. You take a fancy for cake, late in the after noon, And flour. butter, sugar, eggs and milk and bowl and spoon And other necessary aids the kitchen table throng. Don't let them stay; clear them away, girls, as you go along.
 Oh, as you go along, Put each one back in its right place, girls, as you go along. And then you'll find how easily great deal can be done Without your being tired to death" at setting of the sun, And though sometimes, in spite of care, things seem to turn out wrong, Twill always pay you to smooth the way, girls, as you go along.
 Oh, you go along, Sc never leave your work behind, girls, as you go along.
