That New York is a big city which
the stranger seldom learns very well
was quite fofcibly impressed upon a
certain well 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 busi-
ness district and suddenly remembered
that he wanted to telegraph to a friend
whose offices are at 1876 Broadway.
The Californian dashed into the near
est telegraph Office, wrote out his dis
patch and, covering it with the coin,
passed it through the wicket to the
receiver. The receiver smiled.
What is the matter?" demanded the
Californian.
"Why, this is 1875 Broadway" said
the receiver, land your man is up just
one fight of stairs"
There was q confused period that
lasted about a second, and when the
Californian got his nerve back he calm
ly said: II know that. Let it go any
way. I guess I can telegraph across
the room or this counter if I want to
and have the money. We do that thing
out in California every day for a joke"
The receiver may have been bluffed,
but as receivers go they are hard to
impress.-San Francisco Chronicle.

He Had TOO Many Names.

He Had TOO many N0me0s
About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained a touching letter
from a man in Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival Of a bouncing boy. The fond
parent went IN to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
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 q warm glow in his
heart and the determination to send
that fond parent a nice big check. He
felt Sc 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 viii.
liam Allison Jones.
1t was toe good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds OF
Vermont. That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smilingly produce
q letter Of similar purport- Then there
ensued a 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

How. Lincoln won hi. wife.

. HOW won HE WIFE, SIS
Mr.. Lincoln used to take great de-
light in telling how he gained a knife
by his ugly looks. That has been pub
lished, but I have not seen another in
print telling how he gained his wife.
Mrs. Lincoln was a beautiful lady, at
tractive, sharp, witty and. relished q
joke even at her W 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 q girl, /
thought I would not marry until I
could get one of the handsomest men
In the country, but since I became a
woman I learned I can't get such a
man, which has caused me to change
my mind. l have concluded now to
marry the ugliest looking man I 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
coin, and I am going to set my cap for
HIM" @
That became q common saying in
street gossip. When they were mar
ried. instead of taking a bridal trip,
they went to the Globe hotel. owned by
the writer and occupied by a tenant.
They took board at 81 a week. When
he got able, he bought a lot for 5000
and built a four room house costing
less than $1,000. When he received
$1,000 from his great railroad case, he
spent $1,000 of it in putting a second
story on his house, and there he lived
until he went to Neutrality-suspicious.
