CARLYLE AND THE CABBY.
How the Latter Lost the Trade of the
Great Philosopher.

How the Latter Lost the Trade of the
Great Philosopher.
Carlyle was we'll known to London
cabmen. For years he engaged partic-
ular driver from the rank and refused
to have any other. This man, however,
lost his custom in a somewhat peculiar
manner.
Some medical students got to know
of his preference for the driver, and,
getting hold of the driver one day, they
inquired if he knew who his fare was,
when he told them he did not. The stu
dents informed him that he was one of
the most famous and eccentric writers
of the day, and, giving him book, ad
vised him to appear to be reading it
whenever Carlyle approached the stand.
Cabhy, without any suspicion, acted
on their advice, and when the old sage
next came for cab he seemed deeply
impressed in very pretentious book.
'Helloi What's that you're readin?"
inquired the Ecclefechan philosopher.
ga most hout an hout, tiptop, splen-
did book about that ERE French revolu-
tion," was cabby's gushing reply.
''Eh, what dae ye say? Let me see
it," said Carlyle, holding out his hand.
ooh, certainly, sir, said the driver,
handing him a copy of his History of
the French Revolution"
"Weel, my man., inquired the sage,
apparently delighted, "are We sure that
you're readin this work intelligently?"
Perfectly sure" said the jehu conf
IDENTIFY. Then, thinking he ought to say
something in praise of the book, he
added, "Why, sir, it's almost as good
as The Newgate CalendarP 1"
The grim old Dumfriesian glared at
him, grunted out something, turned alb
ruptly around and engaged the next
cab. From that day Carlyle never looked
at him, but stuck to the second man,
who happened to have had the honor of
driving most of the distinguished men
of the century. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Little Girls Riddle.

Several children were asking riddles
the other day, and a bright little girl
who listened got the idea of what
riddle was. The next day she went to
her father and said, "There was blind
and curtains ON pole and the pole fell
and two men laughed" The father
promptly gave it up when she said,
"Don t you see the point?" Upon being
answered in the negative she puzzled
her brains for awhile, and said, "Nei-
ther do L" She is now practicing on
riddles that have some meaning in
them.

The coinage of silver might have been
too free, but the free use Oft in small sum
may be very big investment with very
sure and large profits. What it costs to buy
a bottle of St.J acobs Oil for the cure ofrheu-
matism is within the reach of the poorest. 1t
is the best investmentin in this line-best cure,
and the profits are sure, because it will surely
