The COMMODORE'S CUE.

In the early days of steamboating
on the Ohio river, they had only stern
wheel boats, and old Commodore Nc
Cullough, of Cincinnati, conceived q
scheme to build and launch a palace
"side-wheeler," which would, by grace
of her beauty and size, "run the stern
wheelers out of the trade"
He carried his ideas to successful
and beautiful finish, and. sent her on
her initial trip and she came back $500
loser. The natives along the river
would not ship on her nor would they
tide on her nor trust their live stock
on her. They "couldn't see the wheel
60 round"
So the Flora Belle made trip after
trip, burning from $500 to 81 900 worth
of coal and taking in perhaps 5000.
The newspapers took it up and it was
street talk about what "frost" the
Flora Belle was. Everybody from
banker to bootblack knew the tale. At
this time the old National theatre, on
Sycamore street, was the bon ton thea
tire of Cincinnati, and its gallant men
and lovely women thronged the per-
formances. One night the commodore
attended, and as he entered there was
q series of nudgings and whisperlngs.
"There's the commodore. There's
the owner of Flora Belle"
The play was one of those "Bertha,
the Sewing Machine Girl" dramas,
with a "hyperbole" heroine, and there
was one scene in which the lover pro-
poses marriage.
"No," said the heroine, 81 can never
be your wife, Harold. You are rich,
you are millionaire, while am only
q poor sewing girl. If I marry you,
all my friends will say it was for your
money, and 1 love you, darling, for
yourself. Get rid of your money, my
darling, and I will be your wife," And
she made her exit in tears.
The lover walked up and down the
stage, wringing his hands.
"How," he cried, chow can l win
her9 How can I get rid of my
money ?"
That was the old commodore's cue.
He rose up in the center of the par
quette and shouted:
"Buy the Flora Belle !'-Denver

In THE WRONG PLACE.-Old man
Drew-"Hi" Drew, they call him in
his own town, 40 miles from Chicago
is a man of generous impulses; but
sometimes little lacking in foresight.
One day in February he came into
town on the sly, says the Chicago
Times.Herald, to buy a birthday gift
for his wife.
He cast about vigorously and strug-
gled in a valiant way through the
crowds, finally being washed ashore in
the doorway of hardware establish
ment. Despairing of fighting his way
any farther, he made up his mind to
purchase right here. Martha wanted
a new stove, anyway.
So he allowed himself to be taken
in hand by an energetic salesman, and
had soon purchased for $21 an article
that was guaranteed to cook anything
and everything, all at one time. He
had it expressed out to the village, and
by cunning strategy succeeded in get
ting it set up in the kitchen on Tues
day morning without Martha's knowl'
edge.
When she saw it she hugged him
and beamed all over with delight.
Then he went out and killed a young
sucking pig and two chickens, and pre-
pared for royal spread.
Suddenly a blank look passed over
the old mans face.
"sWhy,' what's the matter Drew ?'
exclaimed his wife.
"Look here !" said he. "Here I've
been and brought gas stove for S2l
and there amt no gas for nine miles p

Mr.. John W. Reid received 8. "compli.
ment" the other day which he failed
to appreciate. Squire Garrett, Mr..
Wiley Rankin and some others were
standing in front of the court house
on Monday, and not far off was
another group of gentlemen pleasantly
chatting, and among them was Mr..
John Reid. After looking in that di-
rection for little bit, Squire Garrett
remarked: "Ain't that Marion But
ler? 1t looks something like him. l
wonder what he is doing here" 1t so
tickled Mr.. Rankin, who loves joke,
that he had to call Mr.. Reed over and
repeat the squirrels question. Mr.. Reid
did not seem to altogether relish
the "compliment," but thought the
'Squire's eyes must be getting bad, and
it was a case of mistaken identity and
he could prove an alibi on every
charge. Mrs. R. P. Smith, ever ac-
