A Case of Had To.

G. Blackley, travelling man. '"The
place had but one hotel, the landlord of
which conducted everything except the
cooking and housekeeping, which his
wife attended to- Twas the only guest,
and when told him that I wanted to
60 up the river on packet due any
where between midnight and O'Clock
in the morning I was shown to a room
Immediately over the Office and was 60

nine voice call, John, you come to bed. ,
'Sallie, you know I KANT go to bed.
Got to wake that blamed drummer.
enjoyed the situation and laughed my
self wide awake, not getting sleepy
again for two hours.
Then the feminine voice called again,
John, l say; come to bed L kain't go
to bed. Let that pesky drummer wake
hisself. 'Tain't no way to run a hotel, ,
and there was silence again. Finally I
went to sleep again and was soon awak-
ened by most unearthly racket. The
old man was pounding on the Office cell
ing with broom handle. I'm awake,
I answered. I don't believe I'll go on
that boat. I'm too tired. I'll wait until
tomorrow. I reckon you won't. You

Where the Money Is Found.

Englishmen are the milk COWS of the
world. They are the great lenders from
whom all other nations borrow For
generations they have been rich and
saving until at last their annual accu-
mutations have become greater than the
annual openings for legitimate invest
ment. So severe has the pressure be-
come that latterly the money lender has
been forcing his money into every kind
of undertaking, in all parts of the world,
creating, by his own eagerness to lend,
the corresponding desire to borrow.
1t is the weight of uninvested money
which stimulates borrowing, not the
cupidity of the impecuuious. Borrowing
has not produced lending, bnt lending
borrowing Interest has continued to
fall because there are more lenders than
borrowers. If Englishmen think, then,
that any communities have dipped too
deep into the English purse, they can
easily apply the corrective by a little
self control. They should abstain from
further lending. This may seem a he
roic remedy, but it is the only remedy.

Booth and Girls Letters.

Even Edwin Booth, most matter of
fact, respectable and unapproachable of
men, got any quantity of this sort of
letters. Strangely enough, too, it is of
record that, contrary to the usual Gus
tom of popular actors, he answered, in
directly, several of his undesired love
letters, for some of those received by
him during his career were written by
silly girls daughters of men known and
respected by Mr.. Booth, who appended
their true names to their ehusions. Two
or three of these were of such nature
that Mr.. Booth felt it his duty, as a
parent, to inclose them to the fathers of
the writers, with statement as to how
they come into his possession. The re-
suit, it may be imagined, was hardly
OF nature to encourage the stricken
damsels in their devotion. Rochester

the thought Of losing her only child
would bring Oh paroxysm after paroxysm

the effect OF quieting the nerves, but
weakened the mind. This arch fend

drug, which, given continuously and

the heat and steam to the exact conditions
that suit him and often takes down his
weight by two short baths instead of a long
and exhausting one. He will take an hour
of steam reduction at 10 o'clock at night
and then rise in the morning at 6 or and
knock off another pound or two of weight
before going to the track. OF the many
Jockeys who have had successful careers

who has never dissipated even to the
slightest extent, and he has saved 90 per
tent of his earnings almost from his first
