1ade an Error.

A diapers assistant in oxford street
was showing a lady some parasols last
week. This particular salesman has a
good command of language and knows
how to expatiate on the good qualities
and show the best points of goods AS
he picked up a parasol from the lot on
the counter and opened it, he struck an
attitude of admiration, and holding it
up to the light, said:
Now, there. Isn't it lovely? Look
at that silk! Particularly observe the
quality, the finish, the general effect.
Feel it. Pass your hand over it. No
foolishness about that parasol, is
there?" he said, as he handed it over to
the lady. isn't it a beauty?"
Yes" said the lady, that's my old
one-I laid it down there"-The Queen.

THE BOYS RUN BACKS"
A Neat Little Story Which Carries
Its Own Moral.

The little lamplighter came zig-zag-
ging down Burnet avenue. The gas jets
popped into flame, first on one side of
the street and then on the other, as he
pursued his godlike mission.
How do you like your job?" asked,
as he trudged along with his ladder
over his shoulder and his torch ia his
hand, Prometheus in embryo.
''They always give the meanest jobs
to the little fellows" he answered
How can one job be worse than an
other, when the lamps are all of the
same hight and equally far apart?" /
inquired.
"Oh, but they give US all the run
backs,'" he replied.
And what in the world is a run
back?' -"
Why" said the little boy, "they are
little, short side streets, down which we
have to go and run back with nothing
to do on the return trip
Little man." said l, don't commence
to kick about having all the hard jobs
and run backs before you are out of
your kn;ckerbockers. The longer you
live the more run backs you viii have.
There is not a job in the whole wide
world which isn't full of them"
why, there's the Mayor, now. He
doesn't have any
Doesn't he?" / replied 81 reckon by
the time he gets through with all his
work and the office seekers, and creeps
off to bed, he thinks the whole job is a
run back
well, how about a preacher" he in
simulated.
Let that pass, my boy" I answered,
II would rather you thought l had no
trouble than to have you remember me
as complaining about them. But just
lean your ladder against that lamp
post and sit on the third round, so that
your head will be on a level with mine
There. that is good. Now listen:
There are drawbacks in every career.
You call them 'runbacks' 1t is all the
same. All along the path of life there
are tollgates where the travellers have
to pay a fraction of their time, their
strength, their money, their very life,
for the privilege of continuing on their
journeys.
Those who travel over one road never
see the tollgates on the other and the
mean ones are forever fretting and
stewing because they have to pay so
much more than anyone else. 1t is bad
enough to hear an old man moaning
over the drawbacks Of his life, but it is
intolerable to hear it from a little boy.
If you want to make everyone despise
you just keep repeating this complaint
you have made to me.
IF you want everybody to love and
honor you-yes, if you want to achieve
success-take your 'runbacks' without
a murmur.
When the good God gives us our
medicine there is always a little bitter
with the sweet, mad we must not always
be making wry faces over it.
Keep your torch full of oil, light every
gas lamp on your route, whistle merrily
while you make your 'runbacks,' carry
your wages home to your mother, be a
good boy, and you'll be a noble man.

THE LATE MISS BISHOP,

Medical Examiner White has not con-

Sarah o. Bishop for further microscopic
investigation.
Mrs Bishop, mother of the young wo-
man, says that her daughter had been
subject, from early childhood to ner-
vous attacks, and that many nights she
could not sleep.
Miss Bishop was suffering from one
of these attacks on Friday and her
mother demonstrated with her for at
tempting to work. The young lady,
acting upon her desire to keep at her
duties, went to DR.. SINNERS office in
spite of her mothers advice. She said
that she would take something for
headache, of which she was complain
ing when she left home.

happy disposition" said Mrs. Bishop

Thrown OF a Gable Car.

New York, May 26.-Suit is about to
be brought against the Broadway Ca
BILE company by Miss Helen Johnson of
158 West Eighty-fifth street, represent
ed by the law firm Of Hatch & Wickese,
for damages sustained by Miss John
son on March Is last. The amount
claimed will probably be $4,000.
According to Miss Johnsons state
ment she was riding down town on the
afternoon of March Is, which was Sun
day, and signalled the conductor to stop
at Twenty ninth street The latter was
inside the car and did not follow her to
the platform to see that she mad alight-
ed. but pulled the bell when she had
one foot on the last step. The car shot
ahead, throwing her to the earth so
violently that her hip was broken in
two places, making her a cripple for
life
Miss Johnson's lawyers say the case
is such a clear one that they can win
the suit with very little other evidence
than her own statement, The extent
of her injuries could not be determined
until recently, when it was found that
Miss Johnson was hopelessly crippled.

The U. S. government, department of
agriculture, recently mailed pamphlets
to every part of the country, protesting
against the killing of hawks. There are
but one or two species which are unde-
eirable. Farmers and others would find
it greatly to their benefit to never kill
hawk. They may occasionally eat poul-
try, but it is generally known, or ought
to be at least, that the quantity is so
small in comparison with the vast num-
bers of destructive rodents, gophers and
insects, consumed, that it is scarcely
worth considering. The notion that a
hawk should be killed because it is a
hawk is erroneous. Spare them.
