MOTIVES misunderstood.
How the UprOarfous Hosiery of a
Swell Young Man Struck q
Hotel Clerk.

There is a young business man who has
more hosiery than he knows what to do
with. He was quite recently on a business
trip, and happened to stop for couple of
days in Philadelphia. He wanted to get
some advertising, but he was not fixed to pay
for it, and he had read about the liking of
the dudes and other freaks who manage to
get some brief notoriety because of their
antics. He had ten dollars to spare on a
scheme, and he accordingly went to bar
gain sale at which they had a lot of last sum-
mer socks at so cents pair. He spent the
money on these things, and he went out of
his way to get the most outrageous combina-
lions of color and the most bizarre effects
that were in the place. He succeeded won
derfully. He had socks which made the
asphalt sidewalks curl as they do under ex-
IRENE heat. His extremities fairly shrieked.
Then he spent the day in the corridor of the
hotel sitting in conspicuous place showing
off the socks. He would wear a pair for
about 20 minutes, go to his room, change,
and, coming down, show off another design
for about the same time. He did this for al
most ten hours, and naturally attracted
quite a good deal of attention. That was
what he wanted, but he could not break into
the newspapers. The clerk when he was
paying his bill said:
.'Y GU ought to patent that invention"
"What's that?" asked the sock man with
an antlclpatory smile, as he expected SOME
thing complimentary about his scheme.
Don't you do that for cold feet ?"-Pitts-
burgh Daily News.

COFFIN FOR A TRUNK.
A Massachusetts NOnOgenarfRn Trav'
els with a Queer Bag
gage Box.

Anthony Simpkins, nonagenarlan
of Lanesboro, Mass, started one day
lately for Hopkins Station, Mich. The
nearest railway station to Lanesboro
is in Pittsfeld, and when Anthony ar
rived in that city, with his blooming
wife of 81 years, he created sensation
of considerable magnitude. 1t was
neither the nonagenarian nor his wife:
however, that was the real cause of the
excitement, but peculiar article of
baggage which the aged traveller had
with him.
When the baggagemaster came to
look over the travelling equipment
which Mr.. Simpkins unloaded from a
wagon and offered for transportation
he was somewhat surprised to see, in
the midst of bandboxes and carpetings.
q coffin, with all the usual funereal
adornment. The coffin apparently con-
tanned body, for the sturdy old man
handled it as if it were heavy, and with
the greatest care. The baggagemaster
at once asked for the death certifi-
cate.
81 guess I don't need none," said
Mr.. Simpkins, grinning.
''We can't take the body unless you
show a certificate of DEATH" said the
baggagemaster, firmly.
Simpkins grinned again. "There amt
no corpse in there" said he. 'There's
jest some of my wife's dresses, and
some chiny and tinware, and the big
Bible and some of my things. I guess
1 don't need no certifkit for them, do
L? I'd jest as soon show yer what they
be-
The baggageman admitted that he
would like to look into the coffin, and
straightway Anthony unfastened the
lid and exposed the articles which he
had mentioned, and many others as
well.
The controversy had attracted the
attention of the people who were
waiting in the station, and by the time
the owner had raised the lid of the
coffin he was surrounded by large and
curious crowd. Somebody asked the
old man how it happened that he used
a coffin as his trunk, and he explained
the matter in this way:
'Three years ago had an idea that
I want goin' to last much longer, so l
thought I'd better make sure of good
coffin while I had money to buy it. 1
bought this coffin then, but amt had
no chance to use it until day fore yes
terday. Then Mary told me there
want room enough in the trunk for
all the things we wanted to take out
west, so / said that coffin would make
good trunk. I wanted to take it
along, anyhow"
Despite Mr.. Simpkins' plausible ex-
PLANTATION, the railroad officers refused
to accept his coffin trunk, and with a
good deal of grumbling he and his
wife transferred the contents to dry
goods box-N. Y. Tribune.

THE OLD STORY.
1 stand beside the window here

I stand beside the window here
And gaze at John and May,
AS hard IN hand, unheeding aught,
They wend their wooing way;
And, oh, 1t brings me back the days,
Ere age had changed my view,
And every tale I heard or told
I still believed was new.
Go on, go on, my happy boy.
And read your brief romance;
Youth is the time for love and rhyme,
So do not lose your chance.
The joys that blessed my early days
I would not keep from you;
For soon you'll find the happy tale
Won't always seem so new.
We used to stroll, long years ago,
About the same old way;
You were blushing maiden then,
And 1 a lover gay.
I told you how my heart was yours,
And that I'd prove it true.
Twas an old, cid tale I tod you, Kate,
But az, we thought twas new
And as stand and watch them here
1t all comes back to me:
The shady walks, the loving talks,
In days that used to be.
There they go walking slow, absorbed,
Just as we used to do;
It's ain old, old tale he's telling, Kate,
But, ah, they think it new.
But can 1t be that am wrong,
Have / grown Grabbed with age?
Let me turn back life's closing book,
And view that older page.
I'm partly wrong, I'm partly right,
Loves story's old, tits true;
But though twas born in earths first
morn,
Loves self Is ever new.

CRUSHING" MOoschead Lake

Moosehead is now 'bushed'' from
Greenville to the carries. Many who
never happened to visit a large lake in
winter do not know that Gushing" a
lake is planting a line of trees on the
ice for guidance of horse and man,
else they might lose their way, and an
unbushed lake has many of the terrors
of an ocean or desert. The trees are
placed about so yards apart and are
frozen firmly into holes cut clear to
the water when the ice is not over four
inches thick. They are set out by eye
and hold wonderfully true courses from
point to point. Quite job, too, to thus
plant the 1,500 odd trees now directing
the travellers course from Greenville,
40 miles to the carries. They are no
shrubs, but stand six feet above the
snow.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
