A we'll known merchant of this city,
who is of d saving disposition and of a
mechanical turn of mind, has an incli-
nation to attempt to do everything. He
considers nothing we'll done that he
does not do himself. The other evening
one of the clocks at his home refused to
keep time, SO he thought he would re-
pair it. He had repaired many clock
before and had not the least doubt of
his skin. He took all the wheels and
pinions apart and cleaned them. This
occupied the entire evening, and when
he retired he dumped all the ccgwheels
and parts of the clock into drawer in
his desk. The merchant is unfortunate,
at least at this time, in possessing son
of mischievous disposition who happen
ed to come across the drawer full Of
wheels. He knew what his father had
been doing and thought he would have
a little fun. He went to his room where
he had wheel that had been taken
from another clock and placed this in
the drawer with the other "fxings."
That night the father commenced his
Work OF putting the separate parts TO-
gether. He tried it several times, but
always had one wheel left over. The
next night he tried the problem once
more. Again he failed. For two weeks
he puzzled over his mechanical problem,
always having wheel left over for
which he could not account. Finally
the son, who had been enjoying the
sport, told his parent of his little joke.
Then he wished he had made no comics

for me to take it around and collect it.
It's one Of our standbys, he said,

Do you mean that?' l asked as
two OF three clerks looked up.

paying the bill, with interest. Two
hours later | stepped into the boss Of

Bronchos and Mustangs.

Tenderfeet, by the way, are very apt
to mix up the terms "broncho' and
mustang" The mustang is literally
wild horse-that is, one whose fore
fathers have never been in captivity and
whose ancestry is believed to be derived
from the horses Of the old Spanish in
vaders-whilet the bronchos are the chill
dren of COW ponies, or horses which
have been used and which have been
turned out on the range for the pur-
pose of breeding. These horses are
branded, and the colts belong to the
man whose brand is on the mother.
Horses are rounded up every year, and
the colts are caught and branded by the
owners of the mares with which they
are found running, and when they be-
come of breakable age they are taken
by the men whose brand they bear. OF
course there is more or less of false
branding, but where a hustler" is
found engaged in this industry he is
generally sent to a place where horses
are not supposed to exist and where
there is no temptation for him to in
dulge the fad.-New York Mail and

The Lottery In Spain.

The great prize in the Spanish Ma
tional lottery was won by butcher at
Saragossa, who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in a very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50, 900 had he taken the whole
risk himself, but he had split up his
ticket among a couple Of hundred part
ners in varying proportions, SO that his
own share is not SO considerable. How
ever, he generously gave $500 10 the
official who paid the money, and 5000
to blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at the door of the office,
his next care being to distribute meat
gratis to everybody living in his quar-
ter of the town. Not few stories are
told in the Spanish papers as to the eff
feet on different individuals of this sud
den bit Of luck. One Of the beneiciaries
was a nurse in the family OF poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On the receipt of the
$4,000 that fell to her share she at
once handed ihe AMOUNT p9er to her
master, exclaiming, You shall not
know want after today. We can all of
us live on the money. Paris Herald.

A DILEMMA.

My ideal girl has golden hair,
A downcast glance. a modest air,
Her eyes are blue and sweet and shy:
She knows no guile nor coquetry,
Her maiden heart, her soul serene,
In all her words and looks are seen.
The more I think of her, the more
All her perfections I'd adore
If for one hour could forget
The witch who has me in her net.
Whose dusky hair, whose saucy smile
And gay caprice my heart beguile!
