WHY THE BIRDS WERE TAME.
They Had Been Filled Up with Shot by .
Swindling Mexican

Swindling Mexican.
The average peddler or vender in
Mexico is a swindler of the worst kind.
The petty tricks and receptions they prac-
tee well illustrate the character of the
race So said well-known New York
business man, who spent part of last win
ter in the City of Mexico.
"One day." he continued, II took a
stroll along the Paseo, accompanied by
my wife and daughter. A vender hap
pened along with four very pretty little
birds perched on his finger They looked
very tame, and, of course, my daughter
wanted at least two of them.
How much? l asked, pointing to the
birds.
Dos pesos para todos,' replied the
vender, meaning 81 for the whole outfit
Finally | bought two of the birds for
20 cents, and putting them into a little
cage supplied by the Mexican. we carried
them to our apartments. My little daugh-
ter Immediately proceeded to get one of
the pets out of the cage, so that she
could hold it upon her finger
The little bird made brave effort to
maintain its equilibrium, but suddenly
toppled off and fell to the floor The
v,ender had filled the poor things with
shot. Thus was their apparent tame
ness explained. They could not fly had

WANTED TO BORROW HIM.
Queer Request Two Women Made of a
Philadelphian and the Reason

A genial Philadelphia, who for obvi-
Gus reasons does not care to have his
name printed on this occasion, secured
a parlor car seat ON an express train
for Reading few days ago, and as he
was about to pass through the gates
was surprised to hear himself accosted
in feminine tones with the somewhat
startling question:: Please. mister,

Looking around. he found two buxom
women, who hastily and hesitatingly ex-
blamed that they were riding on pass
made out in the name of gentleman
and his wife. and, as the gentleman
was not present. they wanted the genial
looking citizen to place his bought ticket
at the disposal of one lady and take the
other one under his wing. while he per-
sonated the absent owner of the pass.
(Which is my wife," he inquired with
an inward qualm, lest his own absent
better half should ever hear the story.
You can take your choice, SIR said
the lady in search of an escort, and he
promptly did so by tucking the arm of
the younger fair one under his own and
leading her into the car. The couple
proved to be right jolly travelling com-
nanions. and the citizens only regret
in the transaction was due to fear
that the story might leak out and get
home ahead of him. But it didn't

Paid His Tenants Moving Expenses.
A good story is told of well-known
landlord who has been having any
amount OF trouble during the hard times
TO collect rents from his tenants. There
was a certain man with a large family.
who mad occupied part of one of his
houses IN the suburbs for a number of
years: Inc man was thoroughly honest
but down on his luck. The landlord
bore the loss of his rent with consider
able tortltude until he thought it was
someone else's turn to help the fellow a
little; then he went ta him one day and
told hlm, with all seriousness, that he
was intending to give the house a going
over; 1t was out of repair, and he had
decided to expend a little money on it
and make some important alterations,
and, as it would be- some EXPENSE for
the man to, move, generously offered
to order team for him and settle the
bill himself
The matter was arranged with the ut
most friendliness on both sides, and the
landlord went his way, feeling quite lit
tie like the celebrated Pharisee A week
later he asked his agent about some flats
that had been empty for a month or
two. "All rented" said the agent, and
he named the parties, 1whereupon the
landlord immediately descended to the
plane of publicans and Sinners. When he
had recovered himself sufficiently to talk
English, he proceeded to inform the as
tonshed agent that one of his acquisitions
was the man he had just moved at his
own expense out of.qthe house in the
uburbs.-Hartford lConn.l Post.
