A COMEDIANS TRICK.
Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest
and Had His Debts Paid.

Many amusing stories are told of Joe
Haines, a comedian Of the time of

Haines. 1t is said that he was arrested
one morning by two bailiffs for a debt
of f20, when he saw bishop to whom
he was related passing along in his
coach. With ready resource he imme-
diately saw loophole for escape. and,
turning to the men, he said, Let me
speak to his lordship, to whom | am
well known, and he will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The bailiffs thought they might ven.
ture this as they We're within two or
three yards of the coach, and acceded
to the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took off his hat to the bishop. His
lordship ordered the coach to stop,
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples of conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest
ing that his lordship should invite them
to his house and promise to satisfy
them. The bishop agreed, and calling
to the bailiffs, he said, You two men
come to me tomorrow morning, and
will satisfy YOU
The men bowed and went away
pleased, and early the next day waited
on his lordship, who, when they were
ushered in, said, well, my men, what
are these scruples of conscience?"
''Scruples?" replied one of them. 1--WE
have no scruples! We are bailiffs, my
lord, who yesterday arrested your cou-
sin, Joe Haines, for a debt of E2O, and
your lordship kindly promised to salts

While Robert Stewart was governor
of Missouri steamboat man was
brought in from the penitentiary as an
applicant for pardon. He was Il large,

or looked at him he seemed strangely
affected. He scrutiniZed him long and
closely. Finally he signed the docu-
ment that restored the prisoner to lib

said, You will commit some other
crime and be in the penitentiary again,

The man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked doubt

you to pledge your word that when you
are mate again you will never take a

load your boat on stormy night"
The steamboat man said he would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such question.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become governor,
and you may want him to pardon you
for crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped your boat
on the Mississippi river to take on
load of wood. There was a boy OH
board who was working his passage
from New orleans to st. Louis, but he
was very sick of fever and was lying in
bunk. You had plenty of men to do
the work, but you went to that boy
with stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out
into the wretched night and kept him
toiling like slave until the loau was

TALKING TO ONESELF.

4OlilOquies Are Rare Because We
Fear They Mean Madness.
Talking to oneself has this obvious
advantage over any other form of ora
tory or gossip: One is assured of
sympathetic audience. But it has also
this peculiar drawback: 1t is supposed
to be one of the early symptoms of in
sanity. Wrongly so perhaps 4. mad
doctor might rule the habit out of his
diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular
belief is firmly rooted, and it is for
fear of this belief doubtless that we
talk to ourselves even as we dress our
hair with straws so rarely.
1t may be said that we never do adj
dress ourselves at any length except in
the delirium of fever. In moments
of ordinary excitement of course we
utter TO the wind some sort of appro-
pirate ejaculation. Delight wrings
from us Il cry of "Hurrahr or "Thank
heaven!" even though there be none by
to echo us. Similarly in any disgust
we emit one of those sounds whose
rather poor equivalents in print are
Ugh" and "Faugh!' and "Tutr' Much
further than this we do not go. "Why,
what an ass am ~ cries Hamlet in
one of his soliloquies. Omitting the
first word and transposing the last
two, the ordinary modern man does
often soliloquize to that extent But
he could no more soliloquize to Ham
let's extent than he could speak in
decasyllabics.
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that that class of the community with
which, contemptuous Of his own fiuen-
cy, Hamlet compared himself is or
ever was more prone to soliloquize
than any other. In the matter of solil-
oquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an
unbiased authority. We merely find in
him the possible origin of the belief
that talking to oneself is a bad sign.-

WHY Mig Fish Get Away.

Some Celebrated Men Who Married

Their Domestic Servants.
Many celebrated men have married
their domestic servants. Sir Henry
Parlles, premier of New South Wales,
is an example. One night when dining
at friends house he was struck by
the appearance of servant girl who
waited upon the table and persuaded
his host TO allow her to enter his en-
ploy. This she did and for short time
held the position'of cook in Sir Henry's
household. Then he made her Lady

But more illustrious than this is the
case of Peter the Great. One day he
was dining at the house of Prince Men
shikoff He noticed one of the servant
maids particularly, and, though she
was not handsome, she caught his fan
ey. Her Nance the prince told the ear,
was Martha. She had been servant
in the house of Lutheran minister OF
Marienburg. and when that city was
captured by the troops of Russia she
had been taken prisoner by General
Bauer, who had passed her over to the
prince, whose servant she was. me
count politely made a present of her to
the car, who eventually married her.
William Cobbett. the great writer,
when he was only twenty-one years Of
age one morning CHANGED to see bux-
ON servant girl busily engaged in
washing the family linen. The girl
was pretty, so Cobbett spoke to her,
learned her name and the same even
ing called upon her parents and said
he would like to marry their daughter
The parents of the girl informed the
young man that they had no objections
to him as their son-in-law, but that he
would have to wait until their daugh-
ter was of marriageable age. Five
years later Goblet, true to his early
love, married her.
