He Respected His Last Wishes.

: Two COW boys once met on Tex
as plain and rode along together.
They were strangers to each 9th
err, and their notions as to the mer-
it's of right and wrong were about
as loose as possible.
Suddenly one of the "boys" made
suspicious movement towards his
hip pocket, Instantly the other
drew his revolver and shot him dead.
The 'live" boy then dismounted,
gazed steadily at his victim and said
to himself;
Now, wonder if he was really
going to shoot me? The evidence
was against him, but anyway I'll
see for myself"
Turning the body over, he dis
covered that the only murderous
weapon the dead man bore was u
whisky flask; and then in sorrowful
tones he said;
Such blessed idiot | ami I've
killed an innocent man and aperfect
gentleman. He WASH tgoing to shoot
me; he merely intended to invite me
to have a drink.
AS he drew his sleeve across his
mouth he continued;
THE last wishes of deceased shall
be duly respected,
Then he emptied the flask and
went on his way.

Noted Editors Appetite.

Henri Watterson, the great Ken
lucky editor, is one of the largest
eaters among the public men OF the
United States. His capacity in that
respect seems unlimited. AS fair
example of his capabilities, two in
cidents will suffice.
On one occasion he attended the
bi-monthly meeting of the Salma-
gundi Club of Louisville. A ban
quet was one of the attractions OF
these meetings. Before, during and
after the banquet there were discus
sions, but the banquet was the
thing. On this night it was at the
house of the editor of the republi-
can paper of Louisville. The menu
was one of fourteen courses, with
the usual wines. One course was
quail, and Mr.. Watterson had two ;
another was venison, and again he
was served twice. This happened
in about half of the courses.
Before the end of the dinner all
other club members we're but tast-
ing what was put before them, but
Mr.. Watterson was eating all and
often calling for more. When the
dinner was ended the rival editors
wentto their offices together. When
they reached Newspaper Row, Mr..
Watterson said:
Colonel, I am hungry. Let's go
over to Beymer's" "a cafe much af-
fected by newspaper mem and
have something to eat.
Great Scott, Watterson ! I've
filled all the space in my lockers.
But II drop in and watch youeat. "
The colonel claims that Mr.. Wat
terson ate two pounds of cheese,
half of an immense bologna sausage,
bowl of crackers and drank six
bottles of beer, and Mr.. Watterson
never denied it, After this, he went
to the Office of the Courier Journal
and wrote his celebrated "Star-Eyed-
Goddess" editorial, that was copied
and commented on all over the
United States.
At another time he entered a cafe,
of which he was o regular patron,
and called out to the proprietor:
What have you to eat tonight ?
I'm hungry"
well, Massa Henry, | have some
nice fresh Ohio river iacksalmon. "

Six"

The Ohio river jack salmon weigh
abouttwo and one-half pounds apiece.
These six, cleaned and cooked,
weighed fifteen pounds, the proprie-
tor weighing them out of curiosity.
Mr.. Watterson finished the six, all
but the bones, with salad, some
bread, and quite little liquid on
the side. This is one of his favor.

4. Match For The Commercial.

An uncouth old man was taking a
trip the other day, and CHANGED to
be sitting with commercial trav-
eler in smoking compartment. The
old man took out a box of safety
matches and tried to strike one and
then another on the woodwork.
You have to scratch them on the
box, uncle, remarked the com
mercial.
"Oh, ! think can strike match,
replied the old man, as he ripped
one across a vanished panel Of the
carriage and broke off the head.
The traveller laughed at his failure,
and gave him somemore information.
THE only way to light those
matches is to strike them on the
box, ;" said he.
"Oh, can scratch 'emanywhere, "
and the old man tried one on the
sole of his shoe, another on the arm
of the seat, and still another on the
floor of the compartment, while the
passengers only laughed.
Il tell you they are so made that
they won't light unless you strike
them on the box.
II bet you they will"
III bet you ten shillings they
won t..
I'm bet you ten shilings they
will. +"
'I'll take it. y
The wager was made, the old man
took one of the matches, stood up,
and, hitching his trousers up so as
to make smooth surface over his
broad thigh, gave the match adelib-
crate scratch, and it blazed up. Then
he coolly lighted his pipe and picked
up the stakes.
The smart commercial does not
know that the innocent old rascal
pays his expenses every trip on that
trick, for he has the side of match
box sewn in his trousers beneath
the tail of his long, shiny coat

both the morning and evening
services, the touching words of the

around the altar all being in happy
accord with the spirit of the gladstone

The children's celebration was in
the afternoon. The little people
marched into the church to the Pro-

and a wreath of blossoms. These
wreathes were attached to a frame

and formed into beautiful Easter
bell. Solos by Mr.. LIE Treble and Mrs.
