HE'S A LOBSTER.
An Expression Now Popular that
Originated in jerseys ALL
+. Winter Race Tracks,

The expression sshe's a LOBSTER" which
has become SO general in colloquial use
about town as to convey a clear-cut
message of contempt or derision, has
q somewhat peculiar origin, says. the
New York Sun. There is nothing about
3 lobster, which the elder Dumas, it
may be recalled, described as 1.-THE car
dinal of the sea-" to invite derision;
but a few years ago when all winter
racing was a customary thing in the
vicinity Of New York, especially in
neighboring New Jersey, a mud horse
that failed to realize the expectations
of those who bet money upon it was
called a ''lobster," an allusion to it's
mode of progression. Horses which had
been generally defeated were lobster
horses, and as this colloquial express
sion got to be more general in use on
The race tracks, it began to be applied
not only to horses but to men and
things as WELL A lobster car was car
that made slow time; lobster boat
was a boat in which rapid time could
not be expected. A lobster calculator
was a man who took too long, in the
judgment of his critics, to add up an
account, and so gradually the name lob
ster has come to be accepted as desig-
nation of sloth or inferiority and 'he's
q lobster has come to be regarded as a
phrase of disapproval. -

PRICE ON HIS HEAD,
AND the Strange Thin 3 About 1t Was
His Being Asked to Pay
1t Himself.

A Georgia farmer SO pleased a patent
medicine firm with certificate he had
given as to the merits Of the particular
nostrum that they offered to have his
picture pain ted, with the certificate, on
the town hall. The farmer was tickled
with the idea, and regularly sat to the
artist until the latter had transferred
his rugged lineaments to the weather
boarding of the most prominent build
ing in town. The picture was full
length, says the Atlanta Constitution.
Shortly afterward cyclone strolled
by and scattered the town hall to the
four corners of the country. People in
different localities picked up sections of
the farmers portrait, which had been
blown their way, and one man, knowing
how the farmer deplored the disaster,
wrote him as follows: I'm sorry the
cyclone blowed yer pictur' so far, but
I've got good news fer you; Bill Jinkins
found yer left leg, Mart Wilkins is got
hunk O yer back, Dan Jones found yer
right arm, an understan' that Sister
Molly Brown is got t'other arm, like
wise yer right les All the pieces seen
fit together good. What I wants ter
know now is how much will you give
fer yer head?"

GREELEY AS / AN ORATOR.
The Famous Editor Had Many PEI
cnliarities, But Always Said
SS559sFS Something Good. ..

Mr.. Greeley was not an orator in any
scholastic sense. #5S He hadsa poor and
somewhat squeaking voice; he knew
nothing of gestures, and he could not
take an orators pose, which>adds such
emphasis to the matter and argument
to be set forth. 4 Not all his years of
practice on the platform and on public
occasions ever changed his habits and
methods as a speaker, and he ended as
poorly equipped in the respects named
for the vocation as when he began. But
he had one prime quality, without
which all the others are exploited in
vain. He invariably had something to
say, and he said it in such clear and
wholesome English, with such SINGER
ity, that he was an orator in spite of all
the rules, says Harper's Magazine.
'. TO state it briefly, of all the eminent
speakers / have introduced-and more
than once-there was not one who gave
better satisfaction, different and nota-
Bile as they were, than Horace Greeley.
AS consequence, he came to me often
est, and wore the best. We might or
might not agree with some of his Pc
culiar premises, as when he says: 1.-THE
moment a drop OF alcohol is received
into the human stomach that moment
the stomach recognizes deadly enc.
my;" but he set his audience thinking,
and Illuminated his theme.

FROM HIS STANDPOINT,
The Crowd Could Not Justly. Be

The subject was one that is close to

''Why don't you use a safety?" asked
the fresh-looling young fellow with the
waxed mustache.

meant for grass, not whiskers.''

fresh young man. II have never cut
