Commercial logic

The typewriter girl has her chapter of
experiences with the begging portion Of the
community.
where's the boss, lady? Amt the boss
in? Won't you gimme a nickel, lady? The
boss allus gives me a nickel, en- ne amt
in; please gimme a nickel, lady, This
was the plaintive appeal Of a blear-eyed,
blowSey, Misunderstanding woman to the
girl at the typewriter. The girl was a cal
culating little wretch, however, and some
thing of an amateur logician, too; so she
tapped away on the keys and coldly an
Swered:
mo, the boss amt in, and 1 can't give
you a nickel, either. If the boss, with his
thousands, is able to give you only a nickel,
why, Of course, / can't afford to give you
anything. 1t would be too resumptuous-I
couldn't think OF it; he might discharge
me for extravaganza. Come In again when
the boss is here"
Whereupon the bibulous woman went off
shifting, and the adamantine typewriter
girl sent out for a nickels worth of ba-
nanas and scored one mere personal grfev-
ance against the boss"

MERE PLEASANTLY.
What Disturbed Him.

1t was a minister's small boy who was
brought home from Sunday school not long
ago accompanied by the disgraceful rumor
that he had been fighting with another

Diversions of an Octogenarian.

1--we just had a letter from Uncle Hiram
out in Nebraska" said the man on the
corner, as he fumbled in his coat pocket.
He is eighty-three and still as lively as
ever. Perhaps you have noticed that these
eighty-threers always are. He has recently
encountered several accidents, he says,
which are not, by any means, referable to
old age. First, he was leading an old cow
TO water and she got the bit In her teeth
and dragged him over a bench, and this
laid him up for several days. Then some
bad boys put a barbed wire across the
pavement and he took a headlong plunge
over that. Next a loop of bailing caught In
the ground and threw him full length; and
after that, while housing round in the
cellar. he fell and broke a few ribs. While
recovering he tried to ride a colt said to
be gentle, and got another bad fall. Finally.
coming home from church one night, he got
a tumble which laid him up for a month,
besides affecting his heart, lungs and liver.
lie is all right now, however, but can
hardly write because his hand was recently
caught in ar inadvertent rat trap which
he didn't know was loaded. A haiistorm
ruined all his crops last summer, but that
doesn't count He. is eighty-three and still
as lively as ever" Il

A Dog Story.

This little sketch of a man, a woman and
a dog will be profoundly interesting to a
certain citizen of this city; but, up to
date, none of his friends have dared relate
it to him. He lives in suburban Indian
apolis, and is away from nome all day at
his business in the city. On his country
place he has a number of fine dogs, and
has always paid special personal attention
TO the careful rearing of each particular
dog. Of one quite expensive animal he is
making a watchdog; keeps him tied rp all
day so that ne will be fierce and bark at
strangers; at night he loosens the dog for
a little run and then ties him up again.
Recently he was heard to complain that
the plan was not working well-the dog
did not, wax savage, but persisted in re-
naming as friendly as any kind Old lady's
poodle. Through the contingent woman
kind it has leaked out among friends of
the family that the tender-hearted maiden
sister who keeps house for him couldn't
stand it 10 see that dog tied up, so she
has been letting him run all day and then
catching him and tying him up at night
just before his master came home. In the
name of humanity and for the sake OF
the dog and the maiden sister. it is to be
hoped that these lines will not meet the
eve OF the man.

His Funeral Attire.

Street-car patrons frequently have singu-
lar experiences. The other afternoon an
electric car whizzing out among the back
streets encountered a funeral procession
just leaving a dwelling. The hearse was
backed up against the curb in front Of a
mall house and many hacks were ranged
along the pavements of the square. AL
though there was no visible stir at the
door Of the small house the motorman
stopped the car in good position to inspect
what might happen and then entered the
car n sat down. The passenger ventured
a query:
Are you going to stay here until that
funeral leavesT"
They're fixin' to bring out the corpse"
the motorman replied.
There isn't any sign Of it." the passen-
ger demonstrated, land l think you ought
to go on"
I'm not goin' on till they bring the
corpse out the sturdy motorman main
tanned. So the passenger had to submit to
the motorman's heartfelt intention and de-
sire TO see "the corpse brought out"
Patience, as usual, was its own reward, for,
shortly after the sombre casket of the
corpse was brought out came the sombre
widow literally obliterated in gloomy Grape.
The gloom of the scene was mitigated, how
ever, for she was weeping on the shoulder
OF a big fat man who was strangely decked
for the event in a vivid watermelon pink
shirt

lie CARON, THE SPY, DEAD.
Figure Prominent in the ProseCu.
ton of Irishmen in
England

LONDON, April 2.-The spy lie Caron,
who was so prominently identified with
the charges against the late Charles
Stewart Parnell, died to-day from
painful malady from which he had long
suffered.
Maj. lie Caron had been living at
kenslngton under the name of DR..
Howard. He was guarded day and
night by detectives. 1t is understood
that one of the interests instrumental
In the Parnell prosecution has been
paying LIE Caron an annuity of $1,000,
and that his life was also insured for
large sum, under the agreement by
which he gave evidence before the
Parnell commission.
Maj. lie Caron was one Of the most
conspicuous witnesses for the London
Times during the sitting of the ParneIl
commission in London in 1889. Feb.
5, 1889, the examination of Mai.
LIE Caron intensified the interest in
the proceedings of the commits
sion. For the whole of a week he re-
NAMED in the witness box, and a severe
cross-examination failed to shake his
statements in any important particular.
He undoubtedly was the most remark
able witness called by the Times
lie CarOn served in the United States
army during the civil war. His subse-
qGent career as leader in the Fenian
invasion is well known. He led the
New York aud Brooklyn brigade in the
second invasion of Canada, and even
at that time his fidelity to the Irish
cause was suspected. 1t was shortly
after this that he became a regular spy
IN the pay of the British government and
was employed to watch and report the
movements of the Irish leaders in
America. In this way he became ia
miliar with a vast collection of facts
which were afterward utilized by the
government in the ParnelI prose cution.

New York, March 51.-Nothing has
yet been seen of the beIated North
German Lloyd steamer Ems from Bre-
men. Although nearly four days be-
hind her regular time very little anx-
iety is felt as to her safety, as it is
known that on account of the large
quantity of ice now encountered by
transatlantic steamers the steamer is
coming along very cautiously, in accord
ance with instructions given before leav-
ing Southampton. Other overdue
steamers are the Sorrento, which sailed
from Antwerp March 4 and is now
twenty-seven days out; the England,
twenty-one days from London; the Es-
sen, twenty-four days out from Ham
burg; the Charles Mortell, twenty-eight
days out from Marseilles.

KILLED OR WOUNDED.
South Carolina Dispensary Law
Leads to Il Desperate Shoot
ing tffray.

COLUMBIA, ). c., March 3I.-Ihe gov
frnor has received advices from Charles
ton stating that three leading military
companies there refused to obey his or
ders to go to Darlington, the scene of
Yesterdays battle Prevented from
sending troops, the governor has
taken the other course now and
will prevent aid reaching Oar
lington's citizens. To accomplish
this he has, under Section 1852, s. c. S.,
seized the railroad lines of the Coast
Line system leading to Darlington, and
will allow no traffic over them. The
latest news from Darlington is that the
spies are still being pursued by Darling
ington's citizens, and that death will
be melted out to all caught. The
governor has ordered the telegraph
companies to transmit no inf1ammatory
dispatches and has also withdrawn an
order disDanding the Columbia military
organizations, with the intention Of try
ing all members and officers by court
martial. He has also ordered the haul
ing away from all local armories of guns
and equipments therein.
The absence of advices from Darling
ton gives color to the suspicion that the
people of that section are preventing
the use of the telegraph. A body OF
armed citizens left this city to-day to
aid the people of Darlington in their
war upon the constables. In view OF
reported threats of lynching the COVER
nor is destroying the dispensaries, and
penitentiary guards have been detailed
to guard the governors mansion and
dispensar;cs. Passengers f2m the
Scene of hostilities last night report
large gatherings Of tfsnzied men and

at the depots, armed with shot-guns

Florence dispensary was raided and
looted during the night.
In compliance with the governors or
ders, Adjt.Gen. Watts has taken the
arms of disbanded militia companies to
the state armory for safe keeping. The
armory of the Richland Volunteer
Rifles has been entered by citizens bent
on Selling the arms to prevent the state
