What . New,boy Thought,

Two dirty, ragged, wicked little
newsboys sat up In the gods gallery.
The play was Hamlet" The curtain
fell on the last act. Hamlet had killed
the false Claudirs; the Queen Is dy.
ing by poison; Laertes writhed at
the feet Of the princely Dane, him
self dying Of secret hurts. Neither
boy had spoken nor moved from his
position, clutching the grimy railing
with grimier hands. The crowd about
them rose noisily. TWAS time to go.
Then the younger Of tho two spoke,
his eyes big with excitement.

Reputation.
The value of reputation Is almost
cynically set forth by the case Of .
young literary man whose rejected
story came back to him from great
publishing house with a few words
Of praise qualified by the declaration
that 1t showed traces Of the amateur.
Encouraged by this he set to work
and produced novel. This he sent
to the same house, and 1t was ao-
cepted. It succeeded, and the young
author soon afterward sold to tho
same publisher the rejected story at
double the price he had originally
asked.-New York Sun.

FIRE GRENADE AGENT FOOLED.
The Proprietor of the Hotel Lost a
Good Customer,

Good Customer.
The proprietor of a suburban hotel has a
son whose sense Of humor seems likely to re-
suit in the destruction of the business of the
house. Recently one of the guests was the
travelling representative of fire grenade
manufacturing house. The grenades are
green glass bottles filled with a compound
that is said to smother fire. They are hurled
into the center Of the blaze, and, bursting
with the force of the impact render an
engine and a line of hose unnecessary.
The fire grenade agent remained several
days at the hotel and advertised that before
his departure he would give grand exhibit
ton of the efficiency of the green glass bot
ties. Early in the evening when the eXhi
biton was advertised to take place large
and curious crowd gathered in front of the
hotel The agent caused fire to be built in
the street, boxes and barrels being piled
many feet high, After seeing that the fire
was roaring merrily the agent made his APP
pearance bearing an armful of fire grenades
He hurled the bottles one after another into
the blazing pile, but instead of smothering
the flames the grenades seemed to have the
twice its former height, and the surround
ing buildings began to shed their paint
while the crowd drew back from the fierce
heat.
The agent was the most astonished man in
the group until he learned that the son of
the hotel proprietor had extracted the gren-
AIDES from the sample case, poured out the
contents and then filled them with gaso
line. The crowd soon found out that the
grenades had been "doctored" and yells of
derision nearly drowned the protests of
the agent as he attempted to persuade the
hotel proprietor that the house should pay
the costs Of the indulgence of the small boys
