"a short time ago." said Deputy United

Let Him Smoke His Pipe.

From the Buffalo Christian.
The following story of German dog
enes is perfectly authentic. When King
Frederick William " visited the Rhine
provinces, in the year 1S43, he made a
short stay at Wesel, where he called at
the house of the oldest man in his king
dom, aged 106 years. He found him COM
fcrtably seated in an old arm chair, smok-
ing a pipe-his inseparable companion. On
the kings arrival. he rose to his feet and
stepped forward a few PAGES, but his maj
esty made him sit down again and talked
to him with the greatest freedom. the old
man putting away at his pipe all the time.
When about to leave, the king asked him
if he had any wish that it was in his power
to crafty

Really! Just think for a moment; we
mortals have generally some particular

The order was given, and the old fellow

years and died at last with his pipe In his
mouth.

of rich New Yorker, has invented plan
for bicycling without the bother Of using
the pedals He bitches a pony to his wheel
and drives it around the town, holding the
handle bars with one hand and the whip
ard the reins in the other.
This queer-looking rig has attracted
great attention in Morristown At first the
quiet people objected to 1t as being fippant
and an enterprise not undertaken in good
faith, but now they have got used to it.
Others have tried the plan, but they find
1t hard to carry out, and several have
t$aped their noses. The trouble Is to train
the pony and to mount, to say nothing of
the Ahiculty of steering with the handles
and reins too. 1t is hard to look graceful,
but young James does it.

Became His Own Successor.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A gOod story is told, at the expense Of
a prominent Chestnut street hotel keeper.
Employed as a porter about the hotel
was an elderly man named Mike, who
had been an attache of the hotel for eight
years. His most prominent feature, and
one Of which he was very proud. was a
beard of luxuriant growth. One day last
week the proprietor of the hosiery was
pacing the lobby when Mike happened to
pass. The proprietor was in a very disa-
greeable frame of mind, and he stopped
and looked at Mike with an evil light in
his eye. Come here, your he yelled at
the porter. How long have you been
here?" Nigh onto eight years, sor."
well, you've been here long enough
You needn't come back tomorrow. I'm
tired of seeing you about The poor por-
ter was thunderstruck He went to his
friend, the day clerk, and told him all
about 1t. 'What'll OF do?" said he,
"Orve a wolfe an family for T. support.
an OF can't get another job" The clerk
thought for a moment, and then said
suddenly: Il have it. You go home and
shave off your beard. and then go to the
boss and tell him you heard he needed a
porter" Mike followed this advice the
next day and secured the situation. be-
coming his own successor. The proprietor
has never suspected the trick.
