suppressing, or more properly speaking, tramp
dispensing device thus far made known to the
public. With wisdom that deserves the thanks
of grateful nation the fathers of that city and
the guardians Of its peace have built a cell and
provided it with numerous pipes directly bearing
on all parts of the interior. After catching the
tramp, they remove as many of his rags as posi-
BILE, soap him thoroughly, then shut him in the
cell and turn on the water.
''If there is one thing above another that fills
the soul of the tramp with horror, it is water.
Soap is bad enough but water is, metaphorically,
the last straw. The tramp hOws. dances, shrieks
and beats against the prison bars Of his cage and
its walls. But the water comes on, and heated
with exercise and rage. it is only question of
time when the tramp becomes at last approx
mately clean.
And when his liberty is restored to him, he
makes Decline for some less pans-taking local
ity, and chalks on the palingssas he passes, a
warning to his fellows, that they and he may go
there no more"

The Frenchman's Dream.

A story is going the rounds of the press about
a Frenchman. who resides in Tennessee. He

knocked for admission. st. Peter said. '.WhO

the Bible and prayed daily and have contributed
literally to the church." st. Peter said. ''YOu
have lived faithful and ought to be admitted in
side the gate, but the two years subscription
you beat the editor of your home paper out of

Frenchman then awoke, the thoughts of his ow-
ing the editor two dollars on subscription weigh
ed on his mind all day and the following morning
he went straight to the printing office, settled
his bill in full to date, and planked down five
dollar bill for five years subscription in advance
He made up his mind that if a subscription &C
count would prevent him from going to heaven
that he would never take any such chances again.

His Excuse.

Among the early lawyers of Missouri were
Judge James c. and General John C,
brothers. both excellent lawyers and splendid
advocates. Gen. John, when occasion required,
closed his argument to the jury bathed in tears
himself, with most of the jury and audience
weeping. too.
One day he and Judge James were trying a
case, James prosecuting and John defending.
James made his speech, strong one for his case,
and ended with telling the jury: "Gentlemen,
my brother John will address you on the other
side ofthe case and want TO caution you that he
will cry and try to make you cry, He does it in all
his cases."
Gen. John then spoke to the jury, making one
of the very best of his pathetic appeals, causing
jury and audience to forget James admOntion
and as tears were flowing John with great tears
rolling down his cheeks, said to the jury:
MY brother jim told you | would cry L am
crying and, gentlemen of the jury, if you had
such a mean brother as Jim you would cry, too"
Johns client was acquitted Waverly Maya

Nantucket Jail.

Some years ago a man in Nantucket was tried
for petty larceny, and sentenced by the judge to
three months in jail. few days after the trial
the Judge, accompanied by the sheriff. was on
his way to the Boston boat, when they passed a
man who was busy saving wood. The sawyer
stopped his work. touched his hat politely, and
said: Good morning, judge The judge looked
at him earnestly moment, passed on little
way, and then turned to glance backward, saying
to the sheriff: "Why. isn't that the man 1 SEN
fenced to three months in jail the other day?"
YES" replied the sheriff, with some hesitation;
"yes, that is the man. But you-why, you see,
judge-we-we don't happen to have anybody
else in jail just now and we thought 'twould be
a sort of useless expense for us to hire somebody
to keep the Jail for three months just for this
man, SO gave him the Jail key and told him if
he'd sleep there nights guessed it would be all
right."-EX,

Friendship Not to be Trusted.

An eX-United States senator, a man of extern
sive business interests, who has had fifty years
experience in public lfe in recent interview
gives it as his settled conviction that friendships
are not lasting and that 1.-The good old friends"
are liable on the most frivolous preteXt, to be-
come our bitterest enemies. The experience of
this pesSimist nOtunlke that of hosts of Others
He says:
Il can count my friends on my hands. and they
are members of my own family. There IS not
such thing as friendship in this world. What
you call friends are butterflies. They hover
around you in the sunshine and when the shad-
ows come they disappear. If a man is success
full and perfectly independent of everybody, they
fawn and smile to-day, and insist on doing some
thing to help him. If he gets a tumble, they
Immediately lend their assistance to keep him
rolling to the bottom of the hill. When you real
ly need them they desert you and have no faith
in you. And can prove it to you every hour of
your life. Friendship in all theory. If l, myself,
want to make a tirst-class enemy. all / have to
do is to help man who is deep in trouble. VIII

cause I am in position to be of service to him.
and have placed him under that much obliga-
ton. l believe after the fifty years of my real
experience, am what you would call a pessimist.

An Ingenious Clock.

A clock of ingenious mechanism has been COM
pleted by C. E. Shearer of Schuylerville, N. Y,
after two years work. The case represents an
arsenal. 1t is 3 feet inches high has several
balconies and piazZas and tower in which is a
bell. On either side of the entrance door is a
miniature brass cannon mounted ON trucks. The
works are automatically musical, playing differ
ent tune every half hour. Each time the music
plays trumpeter on horseback rides out of the
lower front door and remains until it ceases.
Then he re-enters. and the bell in the tower
rings.-New York Telegram.

Reforming the Tramp.

Work and water are two things studiously
avoided by the professional tramp. The solution
of the tramp question is in the application of
these two things. A successful device for the
application of one of these reformatory agents is
in use. The New York Leader says:
cit has remained for the great West to produce
town that has solved the most perfect tramp

He ApOlOgized.

A western judge was listening to an attorney
who had mean habit of nterpOlatng remarks
into the proceedings Of the court. What he said
was scarcely ever heard by any one, as he mum
bled rather than spoke and would never repeat a
remark. One day he said something which no.
body heard except the Judge, who at once became
exceedingly angry. Turning to the court bailiff
he Numbered out. 'Ad jOurn this court!'' Then.
as soon as the bailff had done his duty the judge
stepped from the bench. beckOned to the lawyer
to follow him, and entered the clerks Office
The lawyer followed. SO did two or three other
people.
AS soon as the judge got fairly into the ROOM
he seized a law book, and turning upon the law
yer he fairly screamed: Il was ON the bench
awhile ago, and you insulted me. | was a judge
then. l am a man now, and the man will have
an apology for the judge. he will take it out of
your hide. You might make apology to the
Judge, you would not mean it. Now, however,
the case is more serious, and unless you give me
what ask will smash your head.'' The lawyer
made most abject apology, which the judge
accepted, and then the party went back to the
courtroom and resumed business. San Fran

Foreman Frank Reed of the engine shop, address

The letter went to fourteen towns of that name

to continue the search, aud after seven months
wandering and being completely covered with
nUmberleSS marks and stamps it reached CaledO-
MA St., La Crosse Wis. where it found the party

happiness of Mrs. Reed and her long lost loved
