 Old and little shaky on his pins, he appeared at the tent now pitched up on Grand River Avenue and audibly wondered if they would let him in. What would we let you in for?" was the gruff reply. Don't block the way, now"
 All right, but that makes me think of one time we was showin down in New Orleans. The reg'lar man was sick. so I was on the door with orders to hustle and make up so soon's the jam slacked up sos the boss canvasman could han'le the crowd. A great big colored nanny waddled in and be- gan goin' through her pockets search in for ticket. Don't block the way, now says l, in just them words.
 Somebody done rob me, she shout ed I bot a ticket ober dar in dat red wagon, shoo,' and Ise gwins inter dis heah cu'cus 1 tried to shove her aside, but it was like pushing on stone wall. The police could not get in for the crowd, and it was a sure enough blockade. Well, sir, we had to give nanny a front seat furnish her with peanuts to feed the elephant and promise her a ticket for the afterpiece before she would stir. Your remark recalled it."
 DlQ. nSy oA the profesh, are you? Clown?"
 "Yes, and acerbat. But the tele- graphs put me out. Before they was in I could use the same jokes the year round and everybody would yell. But when they got to putin them in the papers and they had all been read in town afore got there, was done for"
 Go ,on in, old man, and have all the fun you can. All of us is passin' away, as the poet says, and I'll be lookin' for a pass some day. Drop round any time
 When the smiling veteran was leav- ing the door tender pointed him out to a policeman as an old-time clown. Great man in his dayP'
 old time fraud growled the police man, but great man all the same. He was never out of Wayne County in his life. unless up and down the river. but he gets into every show he wants to see You were lucky he didn't have you take up collection for him among the men. Hes the smoothest confi- dence man in the business, but he nev- CT works any gratis but shows. Sev- enty years old and has clear score for doing you fellows"

To Teach Americans the Language.

To Teach Americans the Language.
 "If the relations existing between England and America declares The Philadelphia Nofth American "are not placed presently upon strong basis of mutual esteem it will not be the fault of Mir. Jephson of Balliol Col lege, Oxford.
 MT. Jephson advertises in a London paper that he is prepared to teach the English language to travellers from this country. He offers to cure his pupils, or patients, of the American accent, so abhorrent to the cultivated ear, and to impart the good address which demo- cratic training denies to the unhappy citizen of the United States.
 Many influences have been fostered as tending to cement the bonds of brotherhood between England and America. Of them all. the common language theory has been the most powerful. Now that the theory is in a fair way to become fact, where is the Anglo-Saxon who will refuse to look with the kindling eye of gratitude upon the peerless Jephson of Balliol College, Oxford?"

Whether native or alien you cannot move about the country without the document: when you arrive in town 1t must be submitted to the local police; when you leave town the police must indorse the passport with their sane tion to the Journey. The system gives the authorities the firmest hold over the people; and wise is the stranger who complies carefully with every part of the formality.

Mir. Neff because he wasn't good lock- ing enough. because he couldn't dance and because he wasn't jolly.
 Guess I haven't had so much to make me Jolly" he said.
 He says that if he does not find the lady of his destiny pretty soon. he is going to start out and propose to every girl he meets on the street.
 Do you suppose it would do any good if was to get balloon and give exhibitionsP" iis asked q man.
 Where are you going to get the bal loon?" replied the man.
 Well. the girl might set me up with the balloon said the Mssourian, hopefully.
 "Yes. but you were going to get the balloon to win the girl. If you get the girl first. what's the use of the bal loon?'
 That's so.' admitted the Missourian.
 He kept a standing advertisement in a Chicago matrimonial paper for long time. once he nearly got married to a Florida widow who answered his ad- vertisement. He flew to her home as soon as he got the letter, but he got there the day after the fair.
 Just the day before he arrived the widow married 8 man in Jacksonville Shc apologized to Neff. He doesn't re- gret her. The Jacksonville man blew out his brains in the course of few months.
 He says his great trouble has been due to b1shfulness. In the days of his early youth he loved little pig tailed fairy in school. and kept on lov- ing her until she grew up. but he had not the courage to tell her. The girl married another fellow with more nerve.
 He pawned his wheel for money enough to go to San Francisco. Head ing for Tacoma. it appears.

~ %hSSCSAt'SNh L lNEos
New York May 22.-The stock mar
ket fell further into apathy today and
was only relieved from semi-stagna-
ton by the movement in Erie stocks.
The movement in Erie marked a re-
sumption of operations for the extern
siCn of influence and control of exist
ing rail1ad systems. The buying was
attributed to Wabash interests. State
ments were published this morning
that a controlling interest was secured
in Lackawanna in order to offer an
outlet to the seaboard for the Wabash
and the Gould southwestern system.
1t was stated for several days past
that the buying of Toledo, ST. Louis
and Western stock was for the Van
derbilt account and it was claimed to-
day that control had passed. These
roads run over closely related terri
tory and the activity in their stocks
favors the presumption that the prob

A Lucky Imitation.

Marshal Gourko, the famous Russien
general, was a terrible autocrat. On
one occasion an impersonator OF cele-
brated men was performing at a thea
ter in Odessa. One evening he received
a mysterious message. which read:
Study General Gourko." In Russia it
is better not to inquire into matters
that one does not understand, and so
the artist spent an hour in privately
lmpersonating the autocratic Russian.
Just as the evening performance was
about to commence an order of arrest
signed by Gourko was presented to the
impersonator, and without explanation
he was led through the streets to the
marshars palace and into an apartment
where the terrible man was seated.
''They tell me that you impersonate cell
ebrated men," he roared. 'Imperson-
ate mer'
Giving n hasty look at Gourko, the
performer turned to the mirror to
make up" 1t was an anxious time,
for il the marshal should take excep-
ton to the representation he had I'M
limited power to inflict punishment.
The impersonator dragged himself to-
gether and turned to the marshal n copy
IL his own face and overbearing man
ner. Gourko burst into a roar of laugh
ter, and the dangerous moment was
ovar
