In this casethere was no formal dedica-

at the efigy Of himself, showing his

his head sadly as if in disapproval and
went on his way, He has never been

Bjornson, being a man Of impetu-

ONE USEFUL FLY.
Hs Saved a Tired Merchants Watch
and Shirt Stud. -

~~~ ~Ae~As Ss0N'
Flies are so seldom heroic that the
story ofhow one Of the "pesky things"
saved for Cincinnati business man
his wallet and diamond stud is in
many ways remarkable. ~.
The time was early Thursday morn
ing, and the place was smoking car
of a Louisville & Nashville train
which stood at the Tenth street sta
ton ready for the run to Cincinnati.
The fly was doing on the bald spot
Of the Cincinnati merchants head.
The man, who had been; attending the
races, was also: tired and sound asleep.
In his inside coat pocket was his wal
let, containing all his money. On his
shirt front a diamond glistened.
Suddenly the fly was aroused. He
saw mans hand workingat the shirt
stud. Not a moment was to be lost.
The fly danced over the sleeping
mans cheek in a vain endeavor to
arouse him. The merchant only
turned. The fly galloped over: his
chin and did q stunt" in his ear. No
response: 1872,
In desperation he began a slow
march up and down. the nose Of. the
man asleep. The merchant clutched
Wildly, struck the wrist Of, the pick
pocket and the next instant was
awake. The thief ran from the
smoker and disappeared In the dark
ness. III. ~ ....,=..s
The fly, like all true heroes, did not
await to receive the thanks Of the man
whom he had bef1iended, but flew
away.-Louisville Courier,Journal.

better than 1he fellow whose busi-55
ness forces him to study the directo-s
ries Of the large cities Of the coun-
try. OF course, the trouble is with
the. more common names, but when
you come to think Of it. these COM
mon names make up at least 80 per.
cent. Of the population Of the larger,
cities. Really, what a void there,
would be in some Of the largest places
of the country if there should be a
sudden exodus of the families bear
ing common names! Suppose the
Smiths, and the Joneses, and the
Browns should suddenly decide to
beat hastily over the corporate line
Of any one of the big cities Of the
United States; think Of the number
Of houses that would he left vacant,
the amount Of money that would be
pulled out Of the banks and out Of
circulation, and the enormous
amount Of labor that would be with.
drawn, and the value Of the trade that
would 60 with them in their sudden
flight. But cities could not stand the
shock, so deeply have these families
become intrenched in the industrial,
commercial and financial institutions
OF the modern municipality. There
are many other names, which, while
probably Hess common, still carry with
them heavy per cent. of citypopula-
tion: The Johnsons play some part,
but the name is yariously spelled.
Black, too, is common name.
Washington has become very
common since the Legend Of
the cherry tree and the Ratchet.
Miller is a popular name, and
there are many others that might
be included in the classification. The
directories are full Of them. There
is chance for some statistical fend
to make an interesting and instruc-
tive compilation along this line:
What per cent, for instance, Of the
American population will the Smiths
represent? Or the Joneses? Or the
Browns? Or the Johnsons, and
Blacks, and Whites, and Millers, and
Washingtons, and other familiar
names? There is chance for some
figuring. ;. These names not only
represent heavy per cent. Of the
American population, but they own a
heavy per cent. Of American values.
So the fellow who undertakes it might
find a lifetime task if he traced the
names in all their bearings and in all
their infinite -rami fications. The So
cal and business fabric is literally
threaded with these names. But I
had IN mind the confusion frequent
ly resulting in sending letters through
the mails, and in sending telegraphic
communications: These messages
frequently get mixed on account of
the vast number Of persons bearing
the same name, and not infrequently
