The UnlUcky MAN.
Born Under an Evil star, Perfume Played him
Bad Tricks.

in hard luck from the first.
He was a big, ffne-looking
fellow, about 30 years oil, and it
was easy to see tina. he was a
gentleman and had seen better
days.
For several weeks he rented a
cheap room and lived on crackers
and an occasional weiherwurst,
but his small stock of money gave
ont, and his landlord notified him
to give up his room.
In some way the case attracted
the attention of an alleged
philanthropist, who mixed busi-
ness with religion in very jolly
and profitable fashion.
This bald headed old gentleman
with his perpetually smiling face,
told Johnson to 60 to work for
him, take his meals at his house
and sleep on a lounge in the back
office.
The Door devil Jumped at the
chance.
The benevolent old gentleman
found that he had obtained the
service of a valuable man.
johnson understood the line of
business turned over to him, and
was quite successful. But he
received not a cent of salary, and
no commission, and his benefac-
suarI all the leading citizens
mat he was taking care of the
stranger as an act of charity.
One day the old man and John
son returned from dinner and
entered the office.
Several gentlemen were pres
ent, and they were astonished to
hear the proprietor request his
underling to 60 to his house,
seven blocks away, for his hank
erchief, which he had forgotten.
With a flushed face the poor
fellow marched out into the hot
and dusty street, In about
fifteen minutes he returned and
handed the handkerchief to his fat
and smiling boss.
"That's all right" said the
latter curtly.
"But it is not all right" re-
piled the other sharply. "Take
that, sir!" and he gave his tyrant
a vigorous slap in the face.
Everybody rose to intorcede,
but it was unnecessary.
johnson stared sternly at the
covering figure in the chair, and
then walked out of the room and
downstairs.
The incident was talked about,
and when Johnson went to the
old mans rival in business and
told him what had occurred he
was engaged on the spot at fair
salary.
He had a travelling position,
and did so we'll that his salary
was raised to $3.50 a month after
the first two months.
Then he rented a nice cottage, |
furnished it and sent to q distant
state for his wife, who landed in
Atlanta the most delighted little
woman in ten states.
"The outlook is bright" said
johnson to me, "but you never
can tell. | have had bad.luck, as
a rule, and it may follow me-"

was so energetic and had such a
head for business that | did not
see how he could fail.
He shook his head sadly.

explaided; "some men are born
to hard luck"
He took the road and worked
up a tremendous business for his
"l'll be homo next Sunday"
he said to me one day; como and

EARTHQUAKE POsTs."
BALpMIN HOTEL.

The Japanese Prepared to Flee on the
First symptom of Seismic Troubles.
There is nothing so appalling as a real
earthquake-an earthquake in earnest.
Even in such countries as Japan and
Equatorial America, where they are quite
usual, nobody ever grows indifferent or ac-
customed to this one terrible energy of
nature, wherein she seems to rebel against
her own sanity, and to deny to her
children the very foundations of their ex-
istence. Those who in such lands have
often experienced the trem blado, the o
Jishin, will recognize promptly the
truth OF the descriptions, hurriedly con-
yeyed in all the various local ac-
counts which our columns this morning
contain. There is, all on a sudden. that
underground noise of rushing, mighty
wind next, the swift, impervious vibra-
tlon, as it were, of the very bones of the
earth, which SETS every body shaking in
sickly swing, has first a tremendous cres-
cendo, and afterward doubtful, liuger-
ing, uncertain diminuendo, about which
you never feel perfectly certain that it
will decline and cease until the last
horrible murmur is over and the
earth herself seems to pause, silent
and fearful, at that cry of unrest
and ruin which has gone through her in
WARDS. G6nerally, however, II great mis-
chief be not wrought at the first clash of
the subterranean storm, it is a sign that
the danger will pass away. In Japan,
which has perhaps suffered more bitterly
than any other country from earthquakes,
the peril is placidly accepted as natural
to human life. No stately or costly
structure can be reared in those islands,
where the work of years might vanish IN
a moment. The houses are perforce of
the slightest and lightest materials; the
holy temples themselves of wood and
shingIe. The small, easily erected
abodes have central earthquake posts"
moving in stone sockets, and ''earth-
quake doors" irmly framed, so as
to afford the inmates a chance of
thereby escaping when o Jishin comes in
earnest. Nobody speaks carelessly of the
terror. Nobody knows, by day or night,
whether the dull roar of the under-wo
and the sharp, fierce throb of the rafting,
breaking rocks may not iall upon the soft
est and sweetest hours of slumber, either
shaking down the heavy roof upon the
sleepers, and so crushing them. OF, by
overturning the lamps among the fur
niture, causing that general confagration
w hIch too frequently follows the earth
quake in Japan.-London Telegraph.
