Flaw in the Workhouse Law.

Menasha, Wis, Aug 16.-Mayor NJ
III. Schoetz, Of this city, father of the
workhouse bill in this state, has made
an important discovery in regard to
the bill, through an amendment passed
at the last session of the legislature
The law known as chapter 81, laws Of
Wisconsin, amending the first part of
section 1864, empowers all justices Of
the peace to commit tramps to the
county Jail for which they are entitled
to a liberal fee in preference to send
ing them to the Workhouse, and which
makes it possible for them to reap a
harvest at an expense to the county of
about $40, 1000 a year.

Mrs. Penguin. Quick Ears.

@Mom, wasn't that pretty good?'
asked little Caleb Penguin of his moth
err, as the closing strains of Home.
Sweet Home" played on harmonica,
t1oated down from his room.
Pretty good for Susan" was his
mothers reply, whereat Caleb laughed
with delight, in which he was joined by
his older sister, Susan, who, indeed, had
made the music. The difference in
their playing, when the players were
not visible, was not distinguishable by
Mr.. Penguin; he had seen little Caleb
carrying off the harmonica, and he
thought that this was Caleb playing
now. But not SO Mrs. Penguin. She
has the mothers instinct. She knows
every beat of the children's hearts, and
she could tell the children one from
another by their breathings in the
dark. If Caleb and Susan played the
harmonica SO much alike that nobody
else could tell 'em apart, she could
easily. They can't fool their mother.
It makes the children laugh and Mr.,
Penguin wonder.-N. Y. Sun.

DUAL LIFE OF OAKLEY HALL
which He Was Wholly Un.
COnsclOua.

Oakley Hall was once connected with
an American paper in London. His aim
here was to achieve high name at the
English bar. He was the SON of an Eng
lishman and therefore he was in Eng
lish law an Englishman whenever he
chose to declare himself. He made no
success because he lived wholly in the
past and his mental inclinations were
solely reminiscent.
From the day of his mysterious dis
appearance from New York he lost the
power to utilize his brain in any way
that could earn him living. When he
returned from Europe after that disap-
pearance he and I were closeted for
months together in the office of Mr..
Hulbert's New York World. Then il
was that he told me the truth about his
disappearance, and without knowing
whether or not it has been published in
America, I will repeat it briefly.
He said that one morning he woke up
in . hall bedroom in Mayfair, in the
heart of London, and as he lay in bed
looking with wonder at his surround
ings q woman knocked and entered the.
room. She asked him if he would have
his usual breakfast. He inquired what
his usual breakfast was, and she, as
tonished in her turn, told him that he
always had a pennyworth of tea, a PEN
ny roll, penny pot of butter, and an
egg which cost penny.
He asked her to sit down and then, by
eross-examining her, he found that he.
had lived whole season in that house
under name he never knew; that he
appeared to be "city man" English
for man in busineSs); that he went
out every morning, came back every
evening, went very frequently to the
theater and was the quietest, most ire
proachable of all her dodgers. I'm q
word" he said, II had lived the life Of
another man for months, unconscious
of my own identity, unrecognized by
any one, and fulfilling the well-rounded
half of dual existence. London Cor.

'If my son DanI had lived on he'd
be about 20 vars old now" said the old
mountaineer, rs we sat smoking our
pipes after supper. Pore Danl! he
wasn't fitten, and he knowed he wasn't
fitten, but he jest hung on till he died."
"Then he didn't die Of sickness?"

hold the county fair over at Rodney,
and they was goin' to hev hoss-races,
jumping matches, and all sorts of
games. One of the amoosements was
climbin' creased pole. Ever h'ar Of
it?"
ooh, yes"
ut was pole 80 feet high, and
creased till it was like glass. On top
of it was silver dollar, and whoever
clumb that pole could get the money.
When my son Danl heard Of it he SEE
to me:
"'Pop, I'm dollar ahead
"'As how?' sell I.
"'As to climbin' that pole. I'll do it
as suah's yo'r bo'n!'
Il told him he wasn't fitten," said
the father with sigh. HE was bowed
in the legs and his heels turned out,
and no SIGH critter is fitten to climb
pole. He was determined, though. He
got a pole, creased it up and planted
it out thar by the stone and begun to
practice. He could git up about ten
feet, but no mo-. kept tellin' him he
wasn't fitten, and his nav kept tellin'
him he wasn't fifteen, but he wouldn't
give up. He was out airly in the mawn-
in, and he was out late at night, and
he Rugged that pole till the grease was
ready to fry out of him. One evenin'
I begun to git mad about it, but Dan'l
speaks up in a lonesome voice and with
tears in his eyes and SEE:
"'Pop, I'll hev one mo- try at it. If
1 git to the top then I'm fitten; if l
can't do it then I'm unfitten.'"
"And did he get there?"
"Of co'se not-of co'se not. told
yo' he had crooked legs and his heels
turned in. Couldn't possibly git thar.
I went out about midnight to look fur
him, and he lay thar dead. He felt
that he was unfitten, but he was bound
to climb up or bust, and bimeby he
busted. Jest lay thar all busted to
squash, and shuck my hide if we could
ever git grass to grow on his grave fur
the grease that was oozin' up through
