WENT ONCE TOO OFTEN.
Mistake of Man Who Made His Liv-
ing by Audacity.

Il have had many queer experiences
with transient boarders," said lady
who has kept first-class boarding
house in this city for a number of years,
but the queerest case came under my
observation only last week. To be brief
an old man, at least he seemed to be
about sixty years of age or thereabouts,
came to me about five years ago, if
remember Alright, and secured a room in
my house for week. He said he was
a lecturer and gave the customary rig
marole in such a nice way, however,
that 1 omitted, very foolishly to ask
for his board in advance. To make
long story short, he walked out at the
end of the week to go to some small
town nearby, where he was to lecture
to young folks on the twin subjects of
temperance and honesty, and convent
emily forgot where he lived temporarily.
'The old man must have been mixed
up in his dates or locations, for he APP
piled to me again for board here few
days ago for few days Foolishly
let him in, and still more foolishly de-
cided not to ask him for the price in
advance for out of curiosity l wanted
to see if he was still playing the old
game. Sure enough. at the end of a
few days he Knocked at the door of my
room and informed me that he would
not be back for breakfast in the morn
ing, as he was going to give lecture
to young people in nearby town on
the twin subjects Of temperance and
honesty but would be back to lunch
con. l knew I had him and proceeded
to tell him so, probably astonishing him
more at his own lack of memory than
my excellent ability to remember dead
beats.
"Unluckily, however, my room was
on the second floor and his on the first,
and when he assumed righteous
wrath that | knew well was feigned, /
could not but let him go to his room to
get the filthy lucre' that would square
u.s. l say unluckily his room was on
the floor below mine, because he kept
right on walking and | haven't seen
him since. You may exploit the mys-
teries of boarding house hash, but don't
forget that the boarding house mistress
has her trials, too. Washington Star.

TITLES AS CHRISTIAN NAMES.

A popular proprietor of a travelling
circus is known throughout Great Brit
ain as Lord George Sanger" and re-
member reading on poster OF MS, a
few months ago, an account OF what
purported to be an interview with the
queen after a performance given by
command at Windsor AT this inter-
view Her Majesty made amused inqui-
nv as to Mr.. Sanger's assumption of IL
tie, Mr.. Sanger replying that he was so
christened. Sir Suqire Bancrofts is an
other example of a somewhat novel
Christian name. Major Howe Is a
we'll known London bootmaker, and l
have come across several people who
would nave ordinarily been known as
Mr.. G. Jones, Mr.. M. Smith, etc, who
were invariably referred to as General
Jones, Major Smith, etc.
major" as a Christian name is some
what inconvenient, for when his friends
speak of Major B. it ia sometimes
thought that they are referring to a
military man. A clergyman friend
told me some years ago that he refused
as baptismal names a string of titles
which was ,proffered by a working man
as his selection of Christian names for
his child. My friend thus saved some
humble Jones or Robinson from having
to declare himself, whenever asked for
his name in full. to be Prince Duke
Earl Count Esquire.-Notes and Quer-
les.

HOW THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.

A Young Man of Theory Puts His
Views to a Severe Practical Test.
"All men love each other, If they only
knew it," said a fair-haired young stu
dent of the University of Pennsylvania,
who wais speaking from theory. Soc
iology was his hobby. and he had spent
much of his time reclaiming the theo-
ries of Tolstoi. Recently, in q worthy
argument, he contended that a frater-
nal feeling between man and man, en-
ployer and employee, rich and poor, was
ever paramount if only given the OPP
portunity of expression. Then he pro-
posed to give proof, and was encourage
ed to do so by several friends.
After the last snowstorm he acord-
inly donned the garb of poor man out
of work, and, armed with a shovel, he
went forth to find pavements to clean.
He soon secured Job" at very fash
ionable appointed house on Pine street,
above Fifteenth, where the maid agreed
that % cents was a fair price for the
work. When he had finished, the maid
appeared and said; "The missus says
the work for Is cents, and that's enough
for you; you fellows want the earth,
anyway"
Before the Toletoi enthusiast could
say anything, the door was shut in his
face. He did not give up, however, and
after a long siege of door-pullng and
soliciting he was engaged by Walnut
street physician to clear his pavement
of the snow. The doctor Offered so cents
for the job, Here's a true Illustration
of my theories" thought the youth, as
he went to work. Near the finish he
fell on the pavement and cut his head.
He hurried into the doctor, and in about
two minutes the little wound that had
been made on his cheek wac covered
with a court plaster. The embryotic
sociologist was about to deliver a volley
of thanks when the doctor said: My
professional charges are 81; if you
haven't the remaining s150, come
around and clean my sidewalk the next
time it SHOWS" The young mans utopi-
an ideas have vanisbed.-Philadelp

FAMOUS HOUSE IN BUFFALO,
History of the Fargo Mansion That Is
About to be Sold.

History of the Fargo Mansion That Is
About to be Sold.
The old Fargo mansion, famous a
quarter of century ago for it's mag
nificence and its splendid hospitality,
will be cold at public auction on March
30, along with other property belong
ing to the Fargo estate. This does not
necessarily mean the end of the house,
but at least it concludes one period of
its history.
The house was built by William G.
Fargo, former Mayor of Buffalo, a pio-
neer in the development of the express
business of the country. 1t was COM
pleted in 1872, after having been build
ing since 1867. 1t was put up in the
days of war prices, and was said, with
its wide grounds to be, all told, the
finest mansion on this side of the At
lantic. So it it not surprising that it
cost a fortune. On the building alone,
without furniture, it is said, Mr.. Fargo
spent 100000, and the house and barn
together cost 100000. The grounds in
Guided the whole square bounded by
Fargo and West avenues and Jersey and
five and one-half acres were not enough
for Mr. Fargo bought the blocks oppo-
site on Fargo and West avenues and
kept them from being built up during
his lifetime.
The house has a massivenees sugges- |
tive of public building rather than a
house. 1t is remarkable for it's lavish |
use of beautiful and rare woods. 1t was |
furnished with the same disregard of |
expense. 1t contained many beautiful .
pictures and much fine statuary, and |
bronze figures were scattered about the |
avn. The seated figure of Charlotte
Sorday came from the Paris Exposition |
IF 1867. 1t was valued at $4,000 when
he treasures We're dispersed by sale
after Mr.. Fargo's death. The great
1nyx clock surmounted by bronz-
igure from whose hand swings the PEN
iulum was valued at $4,000. For a hall
light at the foot of the stairway there
stood bronze Indian girl Hanging
throughout the house were paintings by
Ierboeckhoven, De Haas and ether

famous painters, and among them was
the "Barroom Politicians" by Mr..
Beard. The great crystal chandelier in
the drawing room weighed 1,l50 pounds,
and contained 1854 separate pieces.
Mr. Fargo was a generous host, and
many distinguished men were entertain
ed in the old house. Mr.. Fargo died in
1881. Mrs. Fargo died in July, 1880, and
it was her will that the furniture and
articles of vertu be sold. Since Septem-
Der, $780, the house has been unoccupied,
except for a caretaker; and the walls
are stripped of ali the muniments that
once made the mansion so beautiful

WILL OF CHARLES H. HOYT
PLAYWRIGHT LEAVES HIS PROP
ERTY TO HIS FRIENDS.
Ignores His Relatives Who, He De-
clares, Never Paid Him Any
Attention.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The will Of
Charles H. Hoyt, the playwright, was filed
today in the surrogate's office. 1t was exc
cuted October Is, 1898.
After making bequests to personal friends
and employees, the 'testator says:
ut is my wish that the theatrical busi-
ness of Hoyt and Mckee be continued and
conducted solely by Frank Mckee, as 1t is
now managed the said Frank Mckee to re-
ceive all of my share of the profits thereof
as a recompense for his services, excepting
such portion as is hereinbefore bequeathed
to Elwood NJ. Dashera. On the death Of
said Frank Mckee the said business shall
cease and determine; that my executors
and trustees shall at all time have the
