True to His CoInrs.

A few years ago an Irishman, fresh
from the "ould sod" secured a posi-
ton as porter, messenger and man
of-all-work in a New York store. 1t
happened to be the last day of the
month, and the merchant was making
out his statements.
Here, Pat" he said at noon, ego
out and post these bills. Where?
Oh yes; l forgot that you were still a
little green. There's a mail box on
the telegraph pole at the corner. Post
the bills there"
Pat soon returned and laid the bills
on the merchants desk.
"Oi may be a little Crane yet, sor,"
he said, with cunning leer, but be
the swim slapers, Dim not postln'
thin bills wild a big Oirish perlice-
man watchin' the box"
mot posting them? Why not?
What about the policeman" asked the
astonished merchant.
"Thots all right but yez'll not be
foolin' me if OF am Crane" Pat re-
piled, with the same cunning leer
"Shure, didn't OF see the sign on the
pole over the box-'Post no bills I'M
der pinalty av the law'?"

Jenerson's Papers DIscovered.

In the course of the removal of the
books and papers Of the Congressional
Library to the new building in Wash
ington, an unexpected find has been
made in the shape of a large box of
papers written by Thomas Jefferson.
These were found stored away in a
little room next the entrance to the
library, which had been under lock
and key for many years.
They are entirely public papers, a
note among them stating that all pri-
vate papers with the lot had been re-
turned to the writer's or contributors.
1t is believed that these particular pa
pers came to the Congressional Lii
brary through John Randolph.
The papers have been transferred to
the State Department, where they will
be examined and filed away with other
State papers by Librarian Allen.

His Two Hearts Don't Beat a. One

MS Two hearts DON'T beat as One.
A colored man giving his name as
DIR. William King" has been mysti-
flying Pennsylvania doctors. He en-
joys the distinction of having two
hearts which he can control in their
positions and beats at will.
He has been examined by several
Bradford county doctors and they have
been nonplussed. King carries a GER
tificate from a Philadelphia medical
college stating that he has been oper-
ated upon by physicians to determine
the freak nature of his heart, and big
scars across his body are a further
testimony to his truthfulness.
Apparently King has two sets Of
ribs, one outside and overlapping the
other, and by stroking his chest and
by muscular cOntOrtions one set of
ribs can be drawn down to cover his
stomach.
His two hearts, one on each side,
can be plainly felt to beat. Listening
to the right heart, and with a hand on
the left pulse, the observer is startled
to have the pulse stop and the heart
beats continue, yet such is the case.
