That Was business.

From the Belfast Cream.
The day coach was well filled with local
passengers and among them was a woman
about forty years of age. who said to tho
conductor as he took her ticket:

Five minutes later ne came back, fol-
lowed by man about forty years old. who
looked like a farmer, and, pausing beside
the woman. he said:
This is the man L was speaking about"

asked the woman, as she moved along 10

"Harkens, ma am" he replied.
And mine is Stebbins. Have yo' ever

Yes. but l lost her two vars ago. She
was bit by a snake"
And my old man was drowned. Would

"Mebbe. Would your"

The ''old reptile" turned out to be

ceremony the twain were duly and law

Eating like IN Horse.
From the Sioux City Journal.


AT the campfire held recently under the
auspices of Gen. Hancock Post G. A r.,
a couple of war stories were told by Capt.
T. r. Gere which probably have never been
printed:
During part of the time that Gen. A j.
smith was up the Red river with his COM
mand the entire army was without rations
other tran shelled corn, such as was in
tented for feeding the horses. and this con-
dition lasted about eight days. Capt. Gere
was at the office of@thc adjutant general of
lie commend one day when an Irish soldier
came to Headquarters and inquired:
tilneral, could | berry the loan of an
augerT'
He was asked what in the world he want
ed with tool of that kind, and he replied:
We'll, we've been atm this sheiled corn
for so long that l supposed we'd be after
settln hay for rations purity soon, and l
wanted TO build meself a nice little hay
rack, so could ate il comfortable loike.''
In the course of a few days, Capt Gere
narrated. the command received regular
rations and Was once again happy. The
same soldier again appeared at headqur-
ters ana asked permission TO buy peck of
sreiieo corn. He was asked what he want
ed with corn now that regular rations We're
6elns issued. His explanation was this:
Few days ago. gineral. / borried a
peek ei cora from a mule when he WASH t
ioohin, and want to return 1t to him."

THE WEDGE OF SUCCESS.

From the Chauiauquan.


Really 1T does rot make the slightest
difference in the world. So far as ultimate

cess is in the individual. NOS in the circum-
stances. 1t consists solely in the insight.
or the instinct, az il sometimes is. OF know

Character is an enormous factor in sue

the worker IS almost. IL not quite, an equal
factor with the special gift OF aptitude in

A young woman in journalistic work once
remarked 10 me that she did not try TO do
very good work. as the paper that employ
ed her didn't pay much. All, but one can
far better afford to- have his work exceed
lis pay than to have his pay exceed his
work. Let one do a weeks work worth
nifty dollars for ten. and he is on the road
to SUCCESS; let him receive fifty dollars a
week for work worth only ten. and he is
on the road to failure Good work cuts its
