He Got There First.

There is a small town in one Of the
eastern states, not far from Boston,
whose inhabitants take great pride i'll
excelling every other town in their vi
cinity. They try every new invention,
and if it has any sort Of merit it is sure
to be assigned to duty in some part OF
the place. Two portly gentlemen, one a
sea captain and the other lawyer, both
retired from active life, were the prime
movers in the experiments and adop-
lions, and naturally in the course Of
time they failed to agree. Extreme jeal-
ousy then prevailed, and bitter ami
mostly sprang up between them.
Unfortunately these two gentlemen
lived next door to each other. In fact,
SO close were their houses that the side
walls almost adjoined. One very windy
night the lawyer was reading book in
his study when a terrific crash up stairs
startled him. Upon investigating he
found that an unruly chimney had ruth
lessly hurled itself through his roof,
doing considerable damage. That in it.
self was a matter Of great annoyance,
but when he discovered it was the sea

Her Old Slave Aided Her.

Two members from Mississippi were
swapping stories during the intervals
between refreshments, when i'll an acct
dental way the name of ex-senator
Blanche K. Bruce was mentioned.
"That reminds me, +" said one, "of a
story told me long time ago by bar
keeper at the Ebbitt. I was in there one
day when Bruce came i'll, went into one
Of the side rooms, and, having been
served, walked out without saying any
thing to any one.
You don't draw the color line here,
John, remarked to the barkeeper.
"'Not on that man, sir, don't, was
the reply. L have had a pretty good
opinion of him since little thing that
happened soou after he first came here.
Bruce was in his seat at the capitol
one day, when card was brought to
him. He read it and at once went out
to the waiting room. There he met the
woman who owned him when he was a
slave. With her was her daughter. Both
were in tears. She had lost all Of her
property during the war and was abso-
lutely penniless The negro once her
slave was the only man she knew in
Washington. She appealed to him.
Bruce listened to her story. He got his
hat and went outside with her. His car
riage, drawn by handsome pair of
bays, was waiting there. He called the
carriage, assisted the mother and daugh-
ter to enter it with as much Difference
as he could possibly have shown them
in the old plantation days, closed the
door and told the coachman to drive to
the treasury. Then he called a public
cab and followed. The three entered the
treasury together, and before Bruce
came out he had placed in the hands Of
the woman he had once called "missus"
an appointment to good clerkship in
the treasury department.
"That," added the Mississippi mem
Der, twas the reason why the barkeeper
didn't draw the color line at Blanche
X. Bruce and it seems to me the reason
was mighty good one too Wash
