An Opportune Gift.

A good-natured. easy-going German
living in Chicago asked his American
wife to pick out some little present
for his sister in the old country. He
had squandered his fortune. says the
Record-HeraId. but his sister still had
hers. and with careful Teutonic man-
agement had swelled it to comforta-
BILE sum.
The American wife knew nothing Of
her ssster-in-law, and she appreciated
the limitat tions of her own finances as
well as the difficulty of choosing a gift
for a stranger. But she went to &
repository for woman's work aud dis
covered there dainty bag of chamois
leather embroidered with wreaths of
forget-me-nots and emblazoned with
the one word Money" to Indicate its
use as a secret purse to be worn about
the neck in travelling.
1t seemed an innocent little gift, but
Fritz danced with delight when he saw
it. "Ach. the very thing" he cried.
II would not write. and ask her-noi
but Money and 'forget-me-not.' ach.
it is the most beautiful reminder!''
His wife, who had not thought of the
matter in that light. protested and
would fain have withheld the present.
but Fritz was firm. 1t was sent to
Germany at Christmas.
A few weeks later substantial check
came in acknowledgment. The sister
had indeed appreciated the situation.

WIT THAT AvERTED A RIOT.

Gained Turbulent Crowd.

John Brougham's Wel1-Timed Joke
Gained a Turbulent Crowd.
'There have been a good many sto-
have turned an accident or a panic or
row into joke" said Tom Leigh.
the old-time actor "a good many of
the stories are fakes. | suppose" he
continued. but some are true. and
there are lots that have never found
their way into print. The press agent
wasn't as numerous or as clever in the
old days as he Is now.
Il remember an instance in which
John BroughaIu carried off a most diff
fcult situation by a clever bit of i'm
provisation and saved the old Winter
Garden from the disgrace of a riot. 1t
was the first night on which he played
his burlesque Columbus there and the
house was filled with his friends.
Among the most enthusiastic of
these friends were great crowd of
Fenians. headed by Mahoney. the nlan
who had just then been elected presi-
dent of the Irish republic at the old
Fenfan headquarters in 18th street.
There was a jollification in honor of
his election. and as he was personal
friend of Brougham's it was natural
to t lie and his followers should buy
up all the orchestra seats in the house
for the opening night. as they did.
Il was In the cast. and SO was Jack
Study. but If anybody else In the COM
pany is now alive | don't remember
who it is. l played the part of big
Indian who first appeared on the stage
as a messenger bringing dispatches
from Washington.
Just as l came on a discussion that
had sprung up among some of the ex-
cited Fenians developed into a quarrel.
The house was already disturbed and
there was every prospect of a fight in
the orchestra in another minute.
Il delivered my message and
Brougham replied to me in the words
of the piece:
"'Confound you. have done"
'Then turning from me to the foot
lights he went on. as If it was a part
of his speech:
OF "oulu you Hhe oauu VI d fehian
brothers,
All fame abandon to defame each other? ?
If with such sentiments | sent out any.
Remember I'm head center here. Ma
honey.
There was a roar of laughter from
the whole house at this, and the Fen
ians joined in it as heartily as any one
else There was no further talk or
indication of trouble and the play went
on without interruption. York

birds had ceased song and twitter. The
sharp chr-r-r of the grasshoppers and
the steady click. click of the harvester
seemed to voice the misery caused by
the sitting air. Not the slightest breeze
ruffled the broad expanse of ripened
wheat: not a motion except of men,
machine and horses. White streaks of
lather showed on the horses wherever
touched by strap of leather, and
though they Jagged miserably at their
work the driver was too enervated by
the heat to urge them to a liyelier
gait.
A tall, broad-shouldered young man
walked toward the team and held up
one hand with a gesture of command.
''Take the horses. Mart. and put them
in the shadow of the barn; they'll get
sunstruck if you don't look out. Well

surly to boys and very liberal in the
use of his walkingstick on their backs

"He was probably very irritable. and
the boys knew this and made matters
worse by going out of their way to
annoy him. We used to get into his
orchard and steal his apples. more for
the pleasure it gave us to make him
angry than for the sake of the ap-

a fact that while l have all his works
