READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising OR.r OF . Bankrupt's
s,oulless Creditor 1T aA A.
signment Meeting.

Not long ago a substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business. He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store ON the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the tame terms be laid in quite
q large stock Of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
good business and none OF his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm a. to
the safety Of their accounts. Suddenly he
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
Office Of his attorney, the sorrowful bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc.
cured Judgment on fraudulent claim, had
attached and carried away everything ex-
cent 270 cigars and $8. in money. The un-
fortunate debtor owed over s. 900 to the men
present, which he would liquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
"My client suffers far more acutely than
any Of you," continued the lawyer. "He
| has surrendered all that he possesses. 1t is
not much, it il true, but trust it will serve
as az earnest of his future intentions. He
J is crushed by his misfortune and would
1 willingly divide his body among you"
"What's that" asked a somewhat deaf
old man, supplemcnting his right ear with
his broad palm.
"My client is willing to divide his very
body amcng you." repeated the attorney =. -,

PRESENCE OF MIND.
He Was . Keen Boy and Was Equal
to the Occasion When Caught
At Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took firmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, I'll
show 'em!"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon it's prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32-knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tcnnagr. Ever and anon he would
smack HIS lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth. It was glorious.
Suddenly a rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
Here, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there"
1t was one Of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and replied:
I'm rememberin' the Maine
When he could speak again the farmer
said:
"If they amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of EN-, up yonder in
the orchard. ."-Clcveland Leader.
