A Huge Joke.

One night as 1 was hurrying through
Washington street met two of the head
quarters detectives walking along with a
young negro between them. 1t was easy
to see that he was under arrest, yet as l
passed he laughed mcrrily and said:
Good evenin, Mr.. Smith"
Good evening"" 1 replied, though did
not recognize the voice or the face of my
Senegambian acquaintance.
The next afternoon, when went into
the barber shop, the negro porter began to
laugh heartily. "Saw you out pretty late
last night, Mr.. Smith," he said
Then l knew that Sam, the porter was
the prisoner of the night before. He pro-
ceeded to explain that he had been arrested
by mistake and honorably discharged. He
had been suspected of committing bur
glary in Olean, but had no difficulty in
proving that he was in Buffalo on the
night of the crime.
Il am glad to hear you got free, Sam, !"
1 said, "but what were you laughing
about so heartily when I met your
II was chucklin to think of the joke ]

had been to the trouble of comm to my
house at midnight, wakin me up and hus-

Postponed the Duel.

Colonel Harry I. Thornton, now dead,
was a popular officer in the Confederate
army. A story has followed him from the
battlefields which illustrates his character.
During his rapid rise from the ranks he
incurred the jealousy and enmity of one of
the officers of the regiment, and quarrel
was the result. They were separated before
they got to open hostilities, but few mo-
ments later Colonel Thornton received q
challenge to settle the difficulties by a
duel Thornton replied that, in his opin-
ion, the Confedcracy required the services
of both of them very much at that partic-
ular time, but if the challenger would
wait until the cause of their army was
either won or lost he would be ready to
give the gentleman any satisfaction he
pleased. 1t was a year after that before
General Lee surrendered and the. war
closed. That day Colonel Thornton sent
note to his adversary to the effect that
he was prepared to accept the challenge.
The same carrier brought back message
of apology Star.

Paul Jones Famous Answer.

Miss Molly Elliot Seawell in sketch of
paul Jones" in The Century quotes o
portion of Jones own account of the battle
between the Bon Homme Richard and the
Scraps:
II directed the fire of one of the three
Cannon against the mainmast With double
headed Shot While the other two We're ex-
cocdingly well served with grape and Can
mister shot to Silence the Enemies mus
quetry and clear her Decks which was at
last effected. the Enemy We're, as have
since understood, on the instant of Calling
for quarter, When the cowardise or trcach-
cry of three of my under officers induced
them to call to the Enemy, the English
Commodore asked me if l demanded quar-
tor, and l having answered him in the
most determined negative, they renewed
the battle with redoubled fury"
What Paul Jones calls a "most dcter-
mined negative" was the celebrated an
swer that will ever mark him as ono of the
bravest of the brave. The two ships lying
head and stern envcloped in smoke as they
repeatedly caught fire from each other, and
neither one in position to fire an effective
shot, "a sudden and awful silence ensucd.
Presently call came from the Scraps,
"Havc you struck?' to which Paul Jones
answered, 81 have not yet begun to fght!'

Romance of a Song.

"l'll Hang My Harp on Willow Tree"
has attached to it bit of royal romance
1t was written by young nobleman, who

hopes of winning her hand The words

Swift.

Swift never talked about his writings
AID seemed to regard them merely as
means to an end, this being his own per-
sonal advancement. Tho "Tale of n Tub
got into print without the knowledge or
consent of the author, but Swift had suffi-
cicnt regard for his own fame to publish
correct edition as soon as he read the gar
bled version that at first appeared.
