ALWAYS Took His That way

The hotel registers one day recently
showed the effects of excursions which
were run into the city on number Of
railroads. Scores of people who cams
in to spend the days in the state capital
dropped into the leading hoStelrieS fol
dinner. At the Grand a story was told
on one of the visitors which illustrates
the native Hoosier wit and ability tC
get out of tight place through small
hole.
Two couples Of young people from 5
Northern city were there for dinner
and when they were seated in the din
ing-room it was evident from the gin
gerly manner in which they fingered
the menu cards that they were not ac-
customed to course dinners. However
they managed to give an order, with
the kind assistance of the waiter, and
got started in fair shape. Then the
trouble started. One Of the young meT
ordered consomme. and when It was
brought to him in a cup he looked at ii
a moment as if he thought it a pool
article of coffee, then deliberately drop
ped couple of Jumps of sugar into tbs
cup and started to pour in some cream
why, sub. that amt coffee, suhi

was dismayed at the break.
The young man never turned hair
but went on pouring in the cream

Anna M. Willis Of this place. For
twenty years she suffered all the tor

BUT HE WANTED Cash DOWN.
Pensioner Who Wanted to Make Sure OF His
Yearly Income.

At Continental gambling tables SUI
perStltion in respect to good and i'll
luck is carried to remarkable extremes
Sitting next to lucky person, wearing
q certain garment having an amulet or
lucky coin are among the many devices
employed. But not many carry the idea
of luck so far as a certain shrewd Ger
man.
An important state lottery having
been drawn, the chief prize amounting
to considerable fortune fell to we'll
to-do neighbor of the German, who at
once posted off to acQuaint the winner
Of his good fortune.
The fortunate individual was over
joyed with his windfall, for although
he had acquired wealth and reputation
as highly successful Spectator i'll
commercial matters, the lottery had
yielded him the prize of a lifetime. He
was a generous fellow, too, and willing
to share his good fortune with his
acquaintance.
AND now. my good friend" said he
to the bearer of the tidings, you are
not too we'll off. What do you say to a
pension of 1000 francs year?'
The Teuton pondered a moment or
two before replying.
"Mein heir,' he said, you are gener-
osity itself. But, pardon me, you are
everywhere accounted a most lucky
man in your speculations. AS your
pensioner, am convinced that should
die Immediately. 1 hope, therefore. I
shall not offend you if ask for a lump
sum down instead
Whether he received the lump sum or
not the story does not say, but he GER
tainly deserved it.-St. Louis Republic.
