to keep his donations down to a limit

That New York is big city which

certain we'll known Californian a few
days ago. He visits New York twice a
year and has long since learned to find
his way about.
He was charging about in the bust

that he wanted to telegraph to a friend
whose offices are at 1875 Broadway.
The Californian dashed into the near.

Californian.
"Why, this is 1875 Broadway" said
the receiver, "and your man is up just

Venice without Water.

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at all, but we are assured
there is possibility that the pictur-
esque Venice Of today may become a
city Of the past, and eventually Venice
may be waterless.
According to Professor Marinelli, the
regular increase in the delta of the
river Pc is such that in process of
time the northern Adriatic will be dry,
and Venice will no more be upon the
sea. The annual surveys show that
the mean annual increase of the delta
during 10 years has been three-tenths
of a square mile.
An encroachment upon the sea of
three-tenths of mile in a year means
a large increase in century. 1t ap.
pears that the total increase in six
centuries has been about 1913 square
miles. The increase is continuing and
the gulf of Venice is doomed to dis
appear.
No immediate alarm need be felt, and
it will not be necessary to hurry off
to Venice to take Il farewell look at
the city in its present picturesqueness.
Professor MArinplli calculates that be.
tween 100 and 100 centuries will elapse
before he entire northern Adriatic will
have become dry land.-Youth's Com.

He Had Too Many Names.


About two years before MI. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained touching letter
from q man in Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival Of q bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
child would grow up an honor to the
name and the possessor of the fine
traits Of character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
chamber with warm glow in his
heart ana the determination to send
that fond :arent a nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter
to Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read it and produced a
letter almost identical, except that the
young prodigy was to be named Will
liam Allison Jones'
1t was too good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds of
Vermont. That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smilingly produce
a letter Of similar purport. Then there
ensued comparison of senatorial
notes, showing that the youthful Mary
lander had been fairly loaded with dis.
tinguished names from Justin Morrill,
Jones to Don Cameron Jones. That
Maryland infant received no birthday

How Lincoln Won Hi. wife.

Mrs. Lincoln was beautiful lady, at

joke even at her own expense She
was staying with her sister, Mrs. Ed
wards. She had not been there long
before everybody knew Miss Mary
Todd. She often said: "When girl,
thought l would not marry until l
could get one of the handsomest men
in the country, but since l became a
woman l learned can't get such a
man, which has caused me to change
my mind. l have concluded now to
marry the ugliest looking man 1 can
find"
Later on lincoln came to town. She
had never seen him before she met
him on the street. She was told who
he was and went home and told her
sister she had seen her man, "the ugli-
est man l ever saw, Abraham Lin

him.
