 At that minute a cab rattled up, and the driver dismounted and said:

 But think 1t was a ten, my friend"
 'No; 1t was a twenty, and I have been driving about for half an hour to find you and restore the money. Here 1t is."

Army Jokes With . Moral.

During the civil war;" said an ex- army officer, "the authorities for some reason were anxious to move troops up the Tombigbee river. Word was sent to the engineer in that district asking what 1t would cost to run up the Tom bigbee. That official got gay and re ported that the Tombigbee ran down and not up, joke that promptly land ed his head in the basket, as the mat ter was serious.
 At the bombardment of Charleston 1t was extremely desirable to bring to bear on the city an extra heavy gun called by the men the Swamp Angel The gun took its name from the swamp in which 1t stood, and to move 1t through that boggy morass was an en. gipeering feat of extreme difficulty. However, the commanding officers were determined to have the gun brought within range of Charleston and issued orders to that effect. At the same time they sent word to the engineer having the matter in charge of requisition without regard to trouble or expense for anything necessary to accomplish the desired object. His first reQuisi- ton called for men 26 feet inches In height Another officer promptly took the matter in charge. from which it can readily be deduced that 1t Is not pay.

Another Romance Spoiled.

'~Tell a good story and stick to t." is an old maxim that Is illustrated in . story that Is going the rounds along the Rialto. A certain well known actor foated into his home one morn Ing about ? o'clock. The wife of his bosom was waiting up for him. He told her he had been out all tho even ing with one of their friends, Charlie B., and then related an interesting fairy story of how Charlie had taken a crowd to supper. how funny Char lie had been all the evening, how well Charlie looked in his new suit, how he said this, that and the other. After telling a 15 minute story, to which the gentle partner of his joys and out of work periods listened with respectful attention, but cynical mien, he paused for breath. Then she. in . confident now I've got you tone, said:
 That's . lovely romance you've been giving me, and 1 hate to spoil 1t. but Charlie has been here nearly all the evening waiting to see you about an engagement. He left only about half an hour ago"
 The teller of the tale looked rather dazed for 6 moment as If he had been struck. Then quickly gathering him self together he assumed a bold front, with hands in his pockets. head thrown back and, In defiant innocence and en- phasizing each word, said:
 Well. that's my story, and I'm not going to change 1t for anybody."-Clip- per.
