A Disappointed Man.

"How much does the government al low me?" said citizen to the income tax collector.
 -Four thousand dollars. replied the official
 Here is a statement of my income. then, and he handed paper to Uncle Sans representative. who looked at it and then observed, with some warmth of feeling;
 "You have no occasion to file this. It shows an income of only el. 200. You don't need to file statement unless your income is 6, 300 or moro"
 Didn't you say the law allowed me e4, 4,ooo?"
 "Yes."
 Well, my income was &1, 300, and I file the statement so that the government can give me the difference. which fig ure out to be &2,so0. When do I get it!'' After much expostulation the citizen was finally led out into the cool spring Air.-Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph

 The transaction completed, laid be- fore her Mama Sahib's ruby. When her eyes rested upon the marvel, she gave gasp of astonishment and delight, and looking at it a moment daintily picked it up and turned it over and over in her hand. finally holding it up to the light. her expression and manner all the while like that of a child who has been given the most gorgeous toy ever fashioned
 Closing one eye-and it seemed . pity that the light of such an orb should be obscured for a moment-she mur- mured:

 It was on my lips to remonstrate gently. but held my peace and tried to keep my countenaDce from becoming too crimson. She fondled and admired and praised the gem for several min utes, and then with a faint bewitching sigh shook her head and handed 1t back to me, with the envious remark:

There used to be an old porter at a certain Irish railway station who was moro remarkable for independence of character than attention to his duties.
 On one occasion two of the directors were travelling over the line and noticed that the name of this station was not called. the neglect being the moro se- rious as it was a junction This was made the subject of complaint. and old Charley. who was the delinquent. was promptly brought to book and repri- manded
 He was very wroth that any one should find fault with him and thirsted for revenge So. keeping a lookout un- til he saw the directors on their return journey, he stood opposite their carriage and shouted in Q stentorian voice:

CHAPTER "

Just as l was entering the Windsor house a carriage halted in front of the family entrance. and a lady stepped out and passed into the hotel One glance showed that she was the young woman who left my store an hour or two before after her purchase of the small ruby and her expression of admiration of the larger gem.
 She saw me and bowed. The action was so unexpected that hurriedly lift cd my hat. and l suppose would have made a graceful response, but in my confusion l struck the toe of my foot against the step and almost fell on my hands and knees, my hat rolling several fcet away. didn't dare look at her. but sho must have laughed heartily, while never came so near profanity in my life.
 It took some minutes to pull myself together and then my curiosity regard ing the mysterious beauty led me to make inquiries of the clerk. He smiled significantly at my assumed matter of fact manner, as if to let me know he understood that was another of the many that had been hit hard, but what ever he thought he was gentleman. II would know whom you meant if you had uscd only half the words Isn't she beauty? Her name is Mrs Darius c. Howard, and she halls from Vienna. You could have knocked me down with feather. The name precisely except as to the sex-of the man who had placed Mana Sahib's ruby in my hands to be sold The mystery was deeper than ever. Could it be-but what was the use? Any attempt at the orizing. as Wittner had said, could end only in becoming hopelessly befogged.
 Be good enough to send my card to MT. Sandhusen' s room.
 Three minutes later word came that my friend was in his apartments and would be glad to see me. lost no time in entering. shaking hands and telling my story.
 Sandhusen was a millionaire, and we had been schoolboyS Having plenty of leisure on his hands, he expressed his pleasure that had como to him with such an interesting yarn.
 "I'll go down with you and look at the stone." he said.
 II have brought it with me. ," and opened tho box and placed the gem in the palm of the astounded gentleman.
 His wonder and delight may be i'm agined. He fondled it as if the simple touch gave him pleasure. He stepped to the window in the glare of the sun

 Guatemala is a good country to keep away from if the story Dr. H. N. Cross of Stockton, Cal, tells is true. The doc tor went there for his health, was mis taken for a Mexican spy and got into jail, and he now wants the United States government to make Guatemala pay $5, ,o0o damages in gold for the out rage. When Dr. Cross reached Guate- mala, he learned that a foreigner is compelled to take out all sorts of expen- sive papers before he can enjoy the pleas ures of existence. He says it costs an American S2 for n permit to walk down the street and about g for another kind of permit in order to get back again. There is no extra charge for air, but a foreigner must possess Q documentary excuse for breathing it or go to jail
 Cross was anxious to avoid trouble, and he bought every permit and pass port ill sight, cxpending therefor the $l5 that he had in his inside pocket
 He told friend that they came high, but he felt that he must have them. Thus armed, Cross would have avoided all trouble had he not been addicted to the water color sketch habit. He painted the most imposing buildings and foun-

 am starting charitable movement Ut the present moment which 1 hope will not be overlooked during the great press of charitable demands.
 It seems that during the late depres- sion due to the enforcement of the in. come tax an elderly lady was observed to be walking the streets, apparently lost in New York, eating slight lunch from a paper bag. Asked by ono of the reve- nue collectors if she would like any as- sistance, she said no, but when asked where her home was shc replied sadly:
 Nowhcre
 She was Hetty Green.
 She has more money than most farm CTS have hay! But she has no home You cannot tax people who have no home.
 She is old and never knows one day what roof will shelter her the next.
 Who will start chain system of let ters or send in something to relieve her? Het ought to have little cottage some- where It would pay the government to give her little $500 cottage and then get $250, ,O00 income tax out of her. Who will be the first to line his hat with fly paper and pass it around for Het? No home!
 No home!
 No home!
 Nothing but tho Plaza or the Waldorf or Delmonico'sl Just living on from hand to mouth at Sherrys or wherever night ovcrtakes her
 Oh such n lifo must be n perfect hell {! Has no one anything to send to her to keep her warm as she goes from door to | door? Who will be the first one to send me a scalskin sack for Hetty? Poor little Hctty, who has no homo!
 Has no kind lady friend, who may see this, pair of nicc warm black stocking legs to cover the arms on cold nights in the late spring? Who will send me nice new Bay State shawl, prepaid. for Hctty. or a drawing of tea? Will not Mir. McDou- gall or some other artist, out of his abundance. send mo drawing of tea for Hetty?
 Oh. where is my wandering Hctty to- night? No home. no poll tax. no trunk, no chaperon!
 Will not some ono send me enough white duck for two good serviceable dresses 10 wear this summer?
 Who will send inc few meal tickets and palr of California blankets that will not show it if soiled?
 Who can spare a long mackintosh and a pair of high rubber boots for one who is adrift on life's sea?
 Please do not forward any express with charges on them They will not be taken out of the office once made an appeal of this kind to help out Mir Sage of New York and got moro old cast off stuff than ever saw before.
