Tho most striking Uhriatmas present
is said to have been that Of Russell II.

fsoturer to his employees. We are told
that in winding up tho years business
Mr.. Gardner discovered that the pro-
hts for the twelve months exceeded his
expectations and needsby $40, 900. Mr..
Gardner concluded to diyide that
amount among those whose industry

made it possible for him to realize 90

to them that he would like to mako
them q present Of the $4,000 on a
basis OF the time they had boon in his
employ and tho worth thoy were to the
conoern. There was no murmur of dis
sent. Drawing out his oheohbook ho
gave away tho entire $40. 900 within 20
minutes, one omploye receiving 81 900.
Mr. Gardner is 81 years old and has
accumulated fortune of 1850, 900 in

Why He Did Not Sign 1t.

The following incident is related by a
correspondent of the Plain Dealer, in
the south. 1t is told of DR.. James II.
Carlisle, the venerable president of Wof-
ford College. South Carolina, and cuun-
sellor of the great Chautauqua system
with headquarters in this city.
When ten years old young Carlisle was
attending typical country school of the
old south under the management of 4
typical teacher of the time. a stern and
scholarly old gentleman. One day little
James found considerable difficulty in
some of his work and his teacher, he
coming impatient, took the boys slate
and, writin" upon it the words II am a
fool" gave it to the little fellow, saying:
Here James, sign your name to that"
The learned pclagogue proceeded with
the other lessons. hut on coming back to
his Young charge after Il time noticed
that the name had not been written.
Becoming angry he demanded i'll thun-
dcrinw tones: James Carlisle, why did
YOU not sign your name to that, SIR
And little James Carlisle slipped from
his place ON the high, rough old bench,
and looking his teacher squarcly in the
eve, replied: "Bccausei it is lie, sir

hoofS the ScntricS who tried to interfere.
"Instantlv there was solid roll of
muskctrE, but neither ourselves nor our
horses were struck.
Il did not even hear the whistle OF 4
bullet, and am sure that in the great cN-
citcment of the moment these veteran
soldiers of the Union army had forgotten
to aim, and had simply fired their rifles
in the air, or were perhaps unable to
bring their guns to bear on us on account
of being SO closely crowded together and
in such large numbers.
AT any rate, we did not stop to inveSti-
gate. We made good our escape with no
loss whatever except the strips of gray
cloth which we left in the chinkapin and
scrub oak huShecS through which our
horses rushed at such furious rate.
