A STORY OF GOVERNOR CURTIN.

One of the best anecdotes of the late
Governor Curtin relates TO sensa-
ton hecreated in a Washington thea
ter in the winter of 1SS4-S5, when
he was serving in the house. He was
very anxious to see Henry Irving,
who was then acting gin that city, and
he told his wife and his daughter,
Mrs. Wilson, to 60 to the theater,
where he would meet them after con-
gress adjourned for the day. "You
need not engage seat for me-" he
said as they parted, "as something
may arise that might prevent my
coming until the very last moment.
| can procure seat easily enough il
| do come" The house, however,
stayed in session on the river and
harbor bill until quite late, and when
the governor reached the theater
there was standing room only, and
very little Of that. He wedged him
self along one of the side aisles, and
and unintentionally stopped in front
of some men who were perched upon
window sill. One Of them touched
Mr.. Curtin rather roughly on the
shoulder, and commanded him to
move aside Governor Curtin looked
about surprised, but before he could
explain, big, double-hsted fellow Of
herculean proportions, who was
standing close by, pointed his enor-
nous index finger up at the three
wlndow-sill ornament, and Numbered
out in stentorian tones: Say, do
you know who you are showing?
That's ex-governor Curtin, our old
war governor" Then turning TO Mr..
Curtin he shouted, as his face grew
purple with Indignation Governor,
I'm one of the boys, | served under
you, and nobody shall shove you
around where l am. Get down off
that window sill, you scoundrels, " he
yelled, get down, quick Shall l
knock'em down ?" And he jumped
around like an Indian in his excite
ment. BY this time the men had slid
off the sill and the doorkeepers had
arrived. "Git the old governor
good seat" said the veteran as he
pulled out large roll of greenbacks.
"Git him the best seat in the house."
he continued in a voice that silenced
Mr.. lrving's on the stage. There was
a private box not yet occupied, and
the manager of the theater was glad
to rush Mr.. Curtin into it and end
scene that was not on the pro-
gramme. Zone of the boys" as he
called himself, then stationed himself
in the middle aisle and for the rest Of
the evening gazed intently into the
private box at the old war governor,
who, during the melee, was unable to
avoid the attention he was receiving.
1t created more amusement and ap-
plause than any scene in the play.
Mr.. Curtin made futile efforts to as
certain the name of his gallant pro-
tector.-[ Philadelphia Times.

VACATION IS NEAR.
Teaching School Is a Weary
Tedious Lot.
Pnpils Dram Teachers of Nervous Ener-
gy-Thcre Must be no Delay in Keep
ing Brain and Nerves Well Fed.

1t is a fearful trade-this teaching
school.
A horde of restless, growing boys and
girls-no wonder every day slowly brings
down the strength and nervous power Of
the Woodworking school teacher.
Tired as a school teacher" would ex-
press the utter languor and collapse that
so few escape before the long weeks are
over.
OF all the work open to girls and wo-
men, school teaching seems to wear hard
est on the brain and nerves. Each dayis
not able to make up for the nervous ex-
penditure of the day before, and so there
comes the usual result of nerves hard
worked but badly nourished the fire.
quent sick headache, loss of strength, no
color in lips or cheeks, low spirits, ner-
vousness, and distaste for work.
What is needed is at once plain to every
physicians eye, He saws at a glance:
Your nerves want more food" Get
some red corpuscles into your thin blood
the red corpuscles mean health. Paine's
celery compound will cause fresh ruddy
blood to circulate through the veins, and
will give an impetus to the weakened di
gestion. Thin people with depleted or
impure blood, who are easily attacked by
lung disease and chronic ailments, get
strength and an increase of solid, healthy
flesh from Paine's celery compound. 1t
gives vigor to weak mothers and makes
growing children roboust and hearty.
Nervous women not actually sick, but
never really well, who are a burden to
themselves as well as to Others, find Just
the help their system Graves to restore
them to sound health and happy frame

Healthy color, animation clear eyes
and well filled out frame, the signs of
health that can never fail, come from the
reasonable use OF Paine's celery COM

recting the depressing effect on the svs-

constant strain on the nervous and phys

MORE CALENDARS.

Carroll S. Pages 1895 calendar is
the largest that has yet come to our
sanctum, and is suggestive of the
volume of business that he is doing
in calf skins. As is probably well
known, Gov, Page is the largest
dealer in green calf skins in the
world, and it is gratifying to learn
that his business is steadily increas,
ing.
The Overman Wheel Company has
issued a neat block desk calendar for
1895. The artistic work is pleasing
to the eye, and the quotations, one
for every day in the year, are genu-
inc fountain of good suggestions.
This calendar may be obtained from
the local agent, G. Clinton Frye, or
the Overman Wheel Co.., Chicopee,
Mass, by enclosing five two-cent
stamps with order.

A REGULAR CIRCUS.

A Local Jehu Tries to Ride a Trick Horse With ComIcaI Results. A large audience was treated to quite A novel exhibition at the New England de- pot about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. Hackman Henry Grimes and Thomas Abbott got into a friendly dispute about the peculiarities of horses and how difi- cult it was to handle some of them. Grimes said he had an old gray mare hitched to his hack. and he would wager his life that there was not a man in town who could stay on her back for i've minutes. Abbott said he never saw anything with four legs that could take him of it's back and said soms- thing about riding mustangs cn the from tier. A wager was made and the old mare was t4ken from the hack and unharnessed. Grimes held the bride AThle Abbott climbed on 70 the animals back At least 100 people had collected. When Grimes let go of the bridle the horse looked around, paved the ground with her forefeet, sniffed the air then with a squeal and snort that could be heard half mile distant she shot her hind legs into the air throwing Abbott over her head and landing him in pile of mud on the street. Men cheered and women screamed, but before there was time for word to be spoken the man was on his feet and in an instant he had again regained his seat on the animals back. Grimes spoke to the horse and once more Abbott was hurled into the air. This time he had a narrow escape from coming down on his back upon the railing which runs up to the door of the waiting room. That ended the fun
