with care" A few days afterward,
seeing Pat again, he asked, Heard
any more about your goods? Did they
get there safely?'

BLAME THE UMPIRE,
The Disastr Results of IA Chance
Fist blow,

Everybody knows the old nursery
rhyme which runs like this:
For the want of n nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of n shoe the horse was lost,
For the want Of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of the rider n kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of u horseshoe nail
This is Il story on the same principle
The boss smelter in one of the large
iron works in the Lawrenceville dis
triCt is an enthusiastic baseball fiend
He knows as much about the national
game as he does about his trade and
perhaps more.
Any old kind of game, as long as it
is baseball, suits him. When the
Pirates are not at home, he satisfies his
craving for the sport by watching some
amateurs play on vacant piece of
ground near Thirty-siXth street. Last
Saturday afternoon there was game
between the ROYAL HObsons and the
Admiral Dcwcys, and of course the
boss smeltcr was there. 1t was an eX-
citing contest. Joe Groggs pitched
great ball for the Hobson bugs and
struck five men out one after another.
The boss smeltcr had been whooping
'er up for the DcweyS and got excited
Eyer rotten" he shouted to the UNI
pire, and then somebody hit the boss
smelter in the eye There was a fight,
during which the boss smclter was hit
in the other eye. Some of his friends
took him home. All that night his
wife kept two raw pieces of beefsteak
on his swollen optics to draw out the
Inflammation, but it was no good. He
couldn't see at all next morning SO
word was sent to the works that he
wasn't able to come. The smelling de-
partment is one of those institutions
which fall to pieces unless the boss Is
there all the time to watch things.
Without the boss smelter it couldn't
run, and so the department was closed
down for the day. Fifty men and boys
lost day and all because somebody
had hit the boss in the eye-Pittsburg

woman's Laugh.

A feminine laugh has to be deoora-
tive, and SO it should be the laugh of
gayety rather than of humor. There can
hardly be question as to the sweetest
laugh to be heard among nations of wo-
men-it is surely the Frenchwoman'
She has the softest MARBLE of all If
doves were not SO serious, they might
remind US of Partisan women laughing
together. The Italian laugh is happy
enough, but it is not quite SO independ-
ent of the subject of laughter. 1t has a
jollity all it's own. It is somewhat I'M
civilized, but needs no civilizing. But
it's principal characteristic is the con-
tralto tone proper to the woman who is
to the last somewhat of peasant.
The laughter of English women is too
various for any brief description. For
English women laugh not according to
their race, but according to their caste,
as caste has lately been revised and re-
distributed. It may be said that in caste
also the treble note, the ready, the i'm
mediate, fits up to its own place--the
top-and is audible there, for all its
slender quality. Collier Weekly.

How to win on "a Toss.

Spinning a silver dollar and then
guessing heads or tails is favorite
medium for small wagers among the
crowd in the alley behind the Cotton
Exchange The other day a young bro
ker mystified everybody by producing a
coin that invariably settled down heads
up no matter who did the spinning. 1t
was some little time before this pecul
iarity was observed, and then there was
a general demand for the secret. Some
suggested that the piece was loaded,
which was secuted as self evident i'm
possibility, and close scrutiny failed to
reveal anything unusual about it,
cpl tell you how it's done, boys,
said the owner at length, "but keep the
scheme dark. All that is necessary is to
pass a file few times around the edge,
SO as to put on slight bevel. 1t can't
be seen, but the coin will fall on the
beyeled side every time as sure as fate
It's good idea, By the way, to have
two in your pooket-one fixed for heads
and one for tails. A steady run is al
ways suspicious You know, and you can
shift 'em occasionally. New orleans

Dickens and His Cat.

Charles Dickens was a lover of cats.
He owned a large white one named
Williamina, who selected corner of
his study for her kittens and brought
them in from the kitchen one by one
Dickens had them taken away again,
but Williamina persisted in bringing
them back The third time of their re-
moval she did not leave them in the
corner, but instead placed them at her
masters feet and, taking her stand be-
side them, looked imploringly up at
him Most of the family were finally
given away Only one remained The
little creature followed Dickens about
like dog and sat beside him while he
wrote.
One evening the author was reading
at a small table upon which was a
lighted candle. As usual the cat was at
his elbow. Suddenly the light went
out Dickens was much interested in
his book and relighted the candle 1t
was only when the light became dim
again that he turned suddenly and found
the kitten deliberately putting the light
out with her paw. She was lonely, she
wanted to be petted, and this was her
device for bringing it about.

OverruIed In Rhyme.

In Georgia court not long since a
case involving a jaokass came on for
trial The attorneys after INDUCING in
fine frenzy entered the following in
spired motion on the docket:
IF the court will consent. we will take up a
case;
1t treats not of section. country or race
1t is of no interest to any, be it ladies or lass
1t begins and it ends with humble iackass.'
Thereupon the judge, hastily sum-
moning his muse to his assistance, en-
tered up the following order:
.tThis case coming on this day to be heard
Considered by the court to be quite absurd),
And the motion herein the court doth decide
To be hereby overruled and denied
And the movers thereof shall not be exempt
From a fine Of one dollar each for contempt,
Wherein, until paid, the court further passes,
As sentence, that they be deemed said jack
