PENMAN'S WONDERFUL FEAT.
An Australian Addresses Envelopes
With Both Hands at Same Time.


Wrapper writing is, it would seem.
popular way of earning livelihood with
the inmates of Rowton House, a six-penny
hotel. Here is an amusing story of the
perfection to which it may be brought by
practice and a strong will
There is a tradition lingering among the
elder brethren of the wrapper writing pro-
1ession TO the effect that once upon time
when the work was better paid than now,
young man from Australia turned up and
ventured as a last resource into their
sphere of labor. He spent his all and found
himself stranded until funds should arrive
from the antpodes. So on the suggest ton
of an acquaintance, he applied for job
the world-famed firm of Schmidt & Co.
On being duly installed and supplied. with
500 envelopes and some pages from a direc-
tory he looked round and asked for pen.
But you have one already, said the
young man in. authority.
" 1 want two, said the Australian, and
an interested and obliging fellow scribe
supplied his need. The scene which there
upon ensued battles description, for the col
onial, separating the pile of envelopes into
two equal lots. began copying the address,
es by writing simultaneously with both
hands. So runs the legend, at least, and,
Furthermore, it is averred that his rapidity
was such as to put the 'sloggers' to shame
Fifty pens dropped from the nerveless
grasp of those who but a minute before
had been writing against time and as if
for dear life. A hundred eyes were fixed in
establishment on the unknown one. Pres
entity the young 5oVerseer who superntend-
ed the labors of many old enough TO be
his GRANDPA Their rose and timidly said he
would consult Che governor. The latter
averred, and, the situation being explained
the Australian was turned into a loose
box all by himself and fed with another
thousand or so of envelopes. At this rate
he earned enough in two or three weeks
to enable him to last out comfortably till
his remittances arrived, then he went home
and Schmidt's knew him no more We ask
ed the old gentleman who told us this yarn
to fill his pipe and have another cup of tea,
for we thought he deserved both"

FINE work OF Gagged GRIZZLY.
Rakes Corn Near the Bars and Then
CIaps His Paw on Hungry Chickens

RaIxes Corn Near the Bars and T'hci,
Chaps His Paw on Hungry Chickens
From the ST. Louis Republic.
Nat Wetzell, a commission merchant has
huge grizzly bear Gagged behind strong
iron bars I'm the rear part of his place of
business. The bear was sent to him by
some friends i'm the Sierras. Within few
days after the bear was imprisoned on the
premises Wetzell missed first one and then
another of the chickens he had turned out
TO fatten on the scraps and refuse, and for
a time he was at loss to know what was
taking them off. When the number had
increased to a point where patience ceased
to be virtue he set watch for the mis-
creant, and In due time discovered that the
big grizzly was devouripg them as fast as
he could lay paws on them. The brute's
process Of capturing the luckless chickens
would do credit to certain classes Of mann
mails that do not go about the earth on all
fours, and when he discovered how the
thing was done Wetzell had hearty laugh
in spite of his loss.
Corn had been thrown into the bears cage
in great quantities As 1t disappeared with
due regularity it was supposed that bruin
was enjoying ID immensely, but the shay
gy-coated old fellow was wiser than his
keepers knew. He learned before ne had
been imprisoned a single day that chick
ems liked corn pretty well, and as he liked
chickens better than corn, he decided that
a fair exchange would be good for his con-
stitution.
Acting upon this theory of the case, the
bear scraped' together the corn as fast as
1t was thrown into the cage and pushed
the piles out close 10 the bars, where the
chickens could pick IL uD. When no one
was around he would set his great paws
down upon the head of an unwary chick
and drag 1t into the cage. TO be devoured
at his leisure. Not so much as a squawk
ever escaped his victims, and for this rea-
son his little game was not discovered un-
III his thievery had so decimated the poul-
try yard that discovery could no longer be
avoided.
Yesterday when Wetzell entered the
store he found old bruin sitting on his
launches and in SUCH apparent good hui
NOR that he at once attracted attention.
Going back to the cage Inc. proprietor
found that the bear had scraped a pile of
chicken feathers fully foot deep over into
one corner Of the inclosure, and had evil
IDENTITY made his bed there the night before.
The quizzical smile on bruins face seemed
TO ask what more could a good bear want
than plenty Of tender chickens 10 eat and a
soft place to sleep.
Now the old fellows rations OF corn
have been cut off and 1t is Wetzelfs de
termination 70 give him to Forest Park for
the geological department, provided the
city VIII have him.
