Hired Him Over Again.

The following story from the st.
Louis Globe Democrat illustrates sew
eral things:
When ]. w. Sherwood, now general
superintendent Of the Glover Leaf, was
superintendent Of the Big Four, he had
to discharge a brakeman for violation
OF rules. The man hung about the Of
fee, asking for letter of recommenda-
ticn. To get rid of him, Mr.. Sherwood
told w. A. Sullivan, who was his chief
clerk, to write the letter. This Mr.. Sui
livan did. The man went out, and re-
turned in half an hour.
whats the matter now?" asked Mr..
Sherwood.
That letter you gave me is all right,
isn't it?"
"Of course it is. That ought to get
you a job anywhere"
We'll, l wish you would read this
letter of recommendation I've got, Mr.
Sherwood, and give me job,
Sherwood took the letter on which
his own name was hardly dry, read ii
carefully, and remarked:
Il am we'll acquainted with Sher.
wood, and any one he recommends
must be all right. You report to the
trairmaster, and tell him to put. you tc

Teachers in the public schools of a
large city hear many stories, some Of
them amusing, some of them pathetic.
"A young woman who teaches in kind
ergarten in Boston, upon learning that
one of her pupils was sick, went to visit
her.
The teacher had been to Katie's home
before, and so had no difficulty in find
ing the two little rooms at the top Of
tenement house where Katie and her
mother lived. The mother was absent,
and Katie, we'll wrapped up, was sitting
up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condo
lences, the teacher noticed that the lit
tie girl seemed to speak with some
difficulty, and said:
Katie, I am going to examine your
lungs"
"Yes'm," responded the child duti-
fully and Miss G. began to loosen the
child's waist. After removing it, she
found layer after layer of flannel, which
she unfastened with some difficulty
Satisfying herself that there was no
danger of pneumonia. she began to re-
place the child's dress, when Katie be-
San to cry.
"Mother'll be awful mad at you when
she gets home and finds what you've
done"
why, Katie, what have 1 done?"
You've unfastened all my flannels,
and ma had just got me sewed up for
the winter. Youths Companion.

PAT AND THE ADMIRAL
Or How a Situation Was Saved by Irish
wit,

HOW u " ao ohSSu Wy AaiSis
wit.
A strict rule promulgated by every
successive commandant at the Navy
Yard prohibits smoking on Mare Island
under the most stringent penalties.
Admiral Miller, sauntering one recent
afternoon through a distant part of the
island, says the San Francisco Wave,
came upon an Irish Laborer digging a
trench, and smoking short, blacn
pipe He was putting away serenely,
unconscious of the regulations and with
evident enjoyment. The Admiral, who
was in undress uniform, stopped.
Don't you know, sir, that smoking
IS absolutely prohibited in the Navy
Yard?" he said.
The Irishman looked up and, with a
kindly smile, answered:
"Indade, that's true, but here am Z
all be meself, wild not sowl to say q
wurrud to, and tn ought I'd take puff
or two to re'ave the silence
"The regulations are explicit, sir, -
rebuked the Admiral, land the silence
does not excuse you. What's your
name, s'I?"
AN who may you be, anyway ask
Cd the lrlSnHlan.
I'm Admiral Miller"
"Ah, tits the new Armiral ye are.
'Tis the fat job ye have, Admiral. Be
careful to kape it. Me names Pat Nc
Gipnis."
Report at my Office this afternoon
W. hout fail, McGinnis," said Miller,
WHO could hardly keep from laughing.
At five o'clock poor Patrick, who had
nade up his mind there would be the
devil TO pay, tramped over to headquar-
iers, and the orderly ushered him into
the dreaded presence of the Admiral,
who said:
"S.t down, Pat"
Pat cat down. Miller touched a bell.
The orderly appeared.
Bring a bottle Of champagne and
two glasses" he said.
Not a word was spoken until the
wine arrived. The Admiral filled the
two glasses and pushed one over to-
ward the Irishman.
Pat" he said, give me the pipe.
You'll not need it again."
The mystiiied laborer obeyed.
Now" said the Admiral, drink
hearty, Pat, but you'll keep your job as
long as I'll keep mine"
Nor is this the first situation saved
by Irish wit.

Comedian Jimmy Cook, the clever
vaudeville artist, is native of this
.ity, born and raised on the West Side.
James, during his boyhood days, was
what Is termed clever Sidewalk COM
edian"-that is, he was a great enter
tainer and jolly good fellow among his
associates. About twelve years ago the
idea Of amateur nights at the museums,
then in their prime, was suggested, and
many who had, and many who hadn't,
talent were induced to make an appear
ance on the museum stage. Cook got
mixed up with one of these assemblages
one night, and as he could dance and
sing bit and tell what he thought
were funny stories, he decided to give
himself a trial. Manager Frank Drew,
who on these occasions was more par
ticular to secure bad talent, and the
worse the better, than he was to have
good, readily consented to Mr.. Cooks
proposition. The act was so bad 1t was
funny, but Mr.. Cook thought it was all
right, for after that he insisted upon 60
ing on at every performance, there being
ten or Il I've each day. To this ar
rangement<Mr. Drew seriously objected,
but the objection cut no ice with jim
my. He went on just the same, and
kept doing so, until he became a per-
feet pest about the museum; so much
60, in fact, that Mr.. Drew was finally
obliged to hire an extra man to keep
him off the stage. This was twelve
years ago and it is quite different now.
Mr.. Drew has to salaam to Mr.. Cook in
order to keep him on the stage, and the
green boy with the bad act is one Of the
leading comedians of the day.

Frcst-Bitten Pete was lounging in
corner of the bar of the Glazier House,
taking no interest in the jollificatiOn
that was in progress. A tenderfoot who
had just come shivering over the trail
was being warmed up by a gang of
choice spirits who kept him busy dane
ing and swallowing chunks OF frozen
Fhiskey. AS the newcomer warmed up
and the deadly-liquor began to thaw
he became desperate, and with a quick
twist of his hand whipped a revolver
from his pocket. 1t was as pretty a
22-calibre revolver as was ever seen on
the Klondike.
With a blood-curdling roar Frost
Bitten Pete jumped into the crowd and
caught the tenderfoot by the wrist.

sistance.

to ask all hands to drink to the pros

WANTS His Leg Back,

After thirty years Of hobbling about
the world on crutches, General Daniel
d. Sickles is about to petition the Gov
ernment he fought for to give back to
him his leg.
He lost it in Bloody Angle" at Get
tysburg. 1t found its way by devious
ways into the Army Museum at Wash
ington.
Blackened with the erosion of years,
stripped OWN to the bare and shatter-
ed bones, it hangs on two brass rods,
cheek by j1wl with the articulated
skeleton of walrus.
Here every year the old General seeks
it out, gazing dumbly at it, with an un-
utteraple longing to have 1t buried, as
the dead past which it represents is
buried.
"It is my leg" the old hero argues,
"and it belongs to me now just as much
as 1t did when my battalion went into
action on the second day Of Gettys-
burg q
There Is no label upon the leg of the
Major General to blazon these facts to
the public. fer, as matter of fact, the
Army Medical Museum at Washington
Dies not encourage amateur investiga-
tion into either its records or it's speci-
men cases. The leg has no place Of
special prominence. 1t is simply in the
''shot fracture" case with lot of 9TH
ers, and only it's size and character dis
tipguish it. But General Sickles knows
that it is his, and, whether from senti-
ment or superstition, he wants it. He
will, it is said, petitson Congress to re-
store the member, IL the museum au-
thorities continue to hold it against his
will.
