Testimonial of Worth.

A very happy. surprise was perretrat-
ed upon John w. Pearce, city treasurer
and Book keeper for the Colorado Sugar
Manufacturing company, last night, by
his fellow employees of the round house
machine shops and blacksmith shops
and OF the immediate office force of
Master Mechanic Struthers.
His old boss, Alexander Struthers,
SEM up town for him last evening just
about the time work was closing down
in the shops and offices, making the ex-
ouse that he desired some information
upon the work in which Mr.. Pearce was
formerly engaged.
Mr. Psarce responded with alacrity
and was soon at the office in the yards
where he found the Office force apparent
ly engaged in hot wrangls over some
entanglement. being led by Mr.. Struth-
ers.
This was much OF . surprise to Mr.
Pearce, but he was to be still more sur
prised because the wordy warfare waxed
stronger and brought to the office all the
old hands
Suddenly the scene chanced and turn
ing upon Mr.. Pearce, Mr.. Struthers pro-
ducing a handsome gold watch chain
aud locket proceeded to tell Mr.. Pearce
that the boys were sorry to have him
leave his old position and as testimon-
ial OF their regard for him 80 desired to
present him with that token. In Mr..
Pearces life there have been times that
he has been taken aback, but never
quite 30 badly as he was last evening
He co aid not say word and. by the
way it was unnecessary, the boys enjoy
cd his confusion and his delight better
than they ever cold have enjoyed q
speech.
The chain is very heavy gold watch
chain and contains locket upon which
is engraved his monogram. On the
diverse side OF the locket is an inscrip-
ton telling that the same was testi-
monial from his fellow workmen and tho
date Of his severance OF his connection
at the yards. Mr.. Pearce highly prizes
the gift on account of the memories con-
nected Herewith and also because
through life it will always be a guaran-
tee Of his worth in seeking any other
position in life.

The Stingy Man.

He lived on thirteen cents day
Ten cents for milk and cracker,
One cent for dissipation gay,
And two cents for tobaocer.
And IL he wished another dish
He'd take his pole and catch fish.
And II his stomach raised a war
'Gainst his penurious habit,
He'd go and kill woodchuck, or
Assassinate rabbit.
And thus he'd live in swee. content
On food that never cost cent.
And that he might lay in the bank,
The proceeds of his labor.
He'd happen round at meals, the crank,
To dine upon his neighbor.
And then he'd eat enough to last
Until another day had passed.
He bought no pantaloons nor vest
No rich, expensive jacket;
He had one suit-his pas bequest
He thought would stand the racket.
He patched it thirty years. It's true,
And then declared 'twas good as new
He owned but one suit to his back,
And minus cuffs and collars.
He died and left his nephew JACK
Nine hundred thousand dollars
And Jack he ran the fortune through
And only took year or two.
