Professor Bell had strenuous time
over his invention Of the telephone. He
took the first working model of his
instrument to John A. Logan and Of
fered him half interest for $4,000,
saying that 1t would do away with the
telegraph and that there would be mil
lions in it. Logan replied: 81 dare say
your machine works perfectly, but who
would want to talk through such a
thing as that, anyway? i advise you to
save your money, young man." Bell
then offered tenth interest to an ex-
aminer in the patent office for 500 in
cash. 1t was refused. That tenth in
terest was worth $1,500,000 in fifteen
years.-Pearson's.

The Mnn Win the riddle.

The little old man fddled very hard
as he stood near the curbstone in
Twenty-third street The passersby
looked at him curiously. Some of them
smiled. No one gave him a penny.
Presently he was seen to totter and
then to fall, but he kept on fiddling
just the same, even when he lay prone
upon his back. A man helped him to
his feet. He never missed a note. A
little boy who had been regarding him
with keen interest went up to him.
Suddenly the bow hung poised and
motlonless. The little old man had
run down. The boy bought him for a
quarter, however. The vender showed
him how to start the fiddle up again.
and the two went off together, happy
and contented.-New York Press.

At the New York postofiice, accord

the average number of letters with
