"Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in Brooklyn who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter
to Il client in neighboring city regard
Ing an important lawsuit that was to
come up before the court in the course
of few days. The information he so
licited was highly essential TO his case.
In writing this epistlc he made use OF
a letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus, John Langdon, ad-
dress ut supra
After waiting several days for the
reply, which did not come, he again
wrote his. procrastinating client and
asked why he had not sooner answered
his first letter. The next day lie re-
ceiyed a reply in which the client said
that he had answered the letter and
addressed it to John Langdon, Ut

thrown hard, without notice, and he
wouldn't stand it. Lizzie and every
body else knew that he intended TO
marry her after awhile--after the price
of corn got above 10 cents-and no
man should step in and take her from
him.

A DETERMINED
LOVER
by HARRISON NJ. GRANT
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson

by HARRISON NJ. GRANT

There wasn't doubt in the mind Of
Thomas Dingwell, bachelor and farm
er, that he would ultimately marry
Lizzie Carter, schoolteacher and
daughter of Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary
Carter, his nearest neighbors. Al
though he had been counting her for
three long years and had never actual
~ asked for her hand, there wasn't a
doubt in the mind of Lizzie Carter
that she would some day be his wife.
It was what folks call a slow court
ship, and, though Lizzie's mother
sometimes remarked that she would
never have wasted three years of her
time on any man, there was no real
complaint until about the end Of the
third year. Then one evening as I'm
Gle Ben was milking the cows Aunt
Mary wandered down to the barnyard
and sat down beside him on an up
turned bushel measure and said:
benjamin, something's got to be
done!'
Good Lord, Mary, but you don't say
so!' he gasped as he let up on the
milking.
Eyes, sir; something's got to be
DONE" she continued, with grin on
her face. "That Tom Dingwell has
been hanging round here long enough,
and our Lizzie has fooled away time
enough, and now they've either got to
get married or break up"
"Why, ma, how you talk! What's

"Shoo! Shoe"
"Never mind those flies. It's a plan
to bring Tom to time or scare him

Burial Alive.

Though 1t is possible that cases Of
burial of living persons may still occur,
fortunately they are more rare than in
former times Even the doctors orders
against interment were not always
obeyed. for the Gentleman's Magazine
of lT5l relates the case of Richard
Carson of Hay, Herefordshire, Eng
land, who was supposed to have died,
but doctor declared that Carson still
lived and ordered that he was not to be
buried. His relatives paid no heed to
the injunction, and the body was COM
mitted to the grave next day. A per-
son passing through the churchyard
heard noise and prevailed on the
clerk to open the grave, where the
supposed corpse was found in pro
fuse sweat and bleeding at the nose.
Unfortunately the man was beyond re-
covery and soon died.

Close Quarter. For Washington.

At the time, now some years ago,
when subscriptions were being solic-
tied for the erection of a statue in New
York city to President Washington,
says a contributor to Short Stories a
gentleman called to secure contribu-
ton from an old resident, who, al
though wealthy, was little near"
On learning the object of the visit the
rich man exclaimed:
Washington! Washington! Why,
Washington does not need statuel
keep him enshrined in my heart!'
In vain were the visitors solicita-
tons, and he was naturally indignant
at the parsimony of the millionaire.

He Was a Butcher.

"Now. rather pride myself on my
ability to read character" said the
man who was given to buying detec-
tive tales, land yet why should /? 1t
is really a very simple thing, requires
nothing but close observation. For In
stance. it is easy to tell mans occu-
patton. His facial expression, his &C.
tons, even his dress, are stamped by
his daily work. You see that man sit
ting opposite us? Well am just as
sure as though he had told me that he
is barber"
You are mistaken. replied his friend.
THAT man Is butcher"
"ImpossibleS exclaimed the amateur
detective. You never saw butcher
with slim white hands, like his"
perhaps not" admitted the other,
"but he is butcher just the same

In Bolivia, one of the highest inhab-
itated countries on the globe-La Paz,
the capital. being 10000 feet above the
sea level-much use is made of that
graceful and invaluable pack animal,
the llama, which will travel farther
and with even less food than the burro,
but will not carry more than $50
pounds. The llama in some respects re-
sembes the camel, kneeling in camel
fashion to receive its load. and it will
not rise if more than $50 pounds are
placed on its back; moreover, the
weight must be evenly distributed over
its back and sides.
