had had reversal of FORM" as
Jimmie called it. He had been to
see jeweler. A remark by an
envious fellow waiter had decided
him on this course, just to prove
''dey didn't know nothin'."
"Say Mistah Moran, I gotta leave
town"
whats the matter, George?"
"Well, sab, NAH sistah is berry
sick, an I mus CO."
''That's too bad George; where
does she liver" George named a
suburb few miles out.
"Yes, Mistah Moran, an / jes'
hate to tell yu, but she wrote to
me fo' to loan her some money
an -an'-I'm mos broke. Do yu
think de boss wud tax dat dimon'
pin back?''
"Sure, I know he would" quoth
Jimmie. "Just leave the pin and
I'll give you the money on my own
responsibility"
"Yu willr' George couldn't be-
lieve it, but when he lad the
money safe in his hand once more,
his old form came fairly back
until Jimmie spoke of his sister
and recalled him to himself.
II jes' done hate to part with
dat dimon' Mistah Moran, but
don't yu keep it TO me of yu git a
chance to sell it."
Cali right George, goodbye"
George took the rest of the day
and night off. He went over into
another part of town with a few
congenial friends and got para
lyzed drunk. But he was on duty
the next day as promptly as ever
and announced that his sistah was
better. Jimmie sent for him on
some trivial pretext; and while he
was there in rushed a prominent
1young man of the town whom
George often served.
"Hello George! hello Jimmie!
Say Jimmie have you got that
stone yet?"
"Yep."
/ whats it WORTH"
'What'll you give?''
"I'll give you an even $780,"
"Sold," said Jimmie, and the
ten crisp new ten dollar bills were
passed over the bar. Georges eyes
fairly stuck out until the fellow
rushed out again.
"Say, Mistah Moran" he began,
81 feel sorry TO dat man."
whats the matter George?"
"Wy dat dat stones paste, OATS
wot dat jew'lry man tot me down
de street."
Jimmie slapped his leg as if he
had received an inspiration. ''That
explains It'll" he said. "He was
here looking for you two or three
times yesterday after you went.
Amt you onto him yet? He told
you that stuff and then he was go
ing to buy it from you as cheap as
he could"
George boughta drink or two and
let this sift through his brain, and
then he went down to that Jew
eler's. He called him all the names
he could think of, created a dis
turbance inside, was threatened
with the police by the astounded
| jeweler, then got outside and be-
gan looking for a rock to smash in
the front. He was only prevented
from doing this by the sight of a
policeman, and barely made his
escape, vowing vengeance all the
time. Visions of those ten dollar
bills still haunt him, and he thinks
yet that the jewelry man did him,
and that Mr.. Moran is his best
friend. III. E. M.

Odds and Ends.

At this season of the year Ma
ture, wearing lis prettiest face, is
beautiful. to look upon; but in
view of the recent awful volcanic
and food calamities in various
parts of the country, it-he-or
she-Mr. Nature or Mrs. Nature
seems to be trying hard to con-
vince people that he, she, or it is
merciless and hard-hearted and
that beauty is only skin-deep. Il
Once the writer intimated in
these columns that handkerchiefs
are made to-but then perhaps
everybody doesn't read The MIR
RoR, and even if they did they
might not believe us.
Can anybody tell US why it is
that none Of the weekly papers
publish even synopsis of what is
going on in the baseball world,
nor show the standings of the
League and Association teams?
(THE MIRROR does. Ed Speak
ing of baseball, it is somewhat
singular circumstance that the two
greatest games, in most respects,
and certainly the two longest games
on record, were played on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts. In 1877
or Whereabouts, "a inning game
was played with a soft ball in
Boston, between the Manchester
and Harvard college teams and
ended with a score of nothing to
nothing.
But in 1891 the writer witnessed
a game played in Tacoma between
the Seattle and Tacoma teams of
the Pacific league, a game that
stands as the longest professional
game in history. It has been re-
ferred to many time in baseball
papers as the only % inning pro-
fessional baseball game on record
and certainly it is the only game
OF any kind or time in which one
man pitched % innings. Seattle
played the entire game with but
two pitchers, while little, young
Neil Donohue pitched the whole
% innings for Tacoma, and every
ball pitched, even to the last,
seemed to 60 like a bullet from q
gun. The game lasted three hours
and half and resulted in a score
of 6 to 5 in favor of Tacoma. There
was not weak spot in either team
at any stage of the game and it is
doubtful if any contest was ever
played with more enthusiasm or
determination. The detailed &C.
counts of this game, as published
in the coast newspapers, were
among the most interesting and
exciting baseball news ever pub
lished.
A writer in a recent number of
the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post, in story called "The
Agent at Missouri Station seems
to be rather unfamiliar with his
subject. It is only fiction, but
even as such it is so full of incon-
sistencies rs to make it ridiculous.
Beginning with Reads Landing on
the G. B. & N, he was all right,
tho he called it the &c. n" road,
but west of st. Paul his knowledge
of the geography of the country
seems to be somewhat limited.

Letter to Cooper & Co.,
Belfast, Ne.

Dear Sirs: What is lumber worth?
depends on the lumber you say
"what sort do you WANT"
That's how some people talk about paint.
They ask: "What'll you paint my house
for?''
The Yankee answer is: "How do You
want it painted? One coat two coats three
coats first-class or cheap?'
The proper answer is: 81 want the best
paint put on as it ought to be-"
That's DevOe; but the usual answer is
81 want good JOB; but want it cheap"
Which means: l want you to paint it for
nothing. l want to be fooled.
Lead and oil is the costliest paint there
is: not the best; it used to be the best. De-
voc is best, since zinc came in; Devoe lead
and zinc.
Zinc tOughens the lead and doubles its
wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead; and we
grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc but nobody
else is treating it right. Devoe is your
paint.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. J. W. Jones sells our paint
