on his lecturing adventures that might
prove as interesting, though In a very
different way, as his Lives of the

stopped at the theatre door by half
dozen boys, one Of whom said:

YES"
"Well, say, won't ye give us pass?''
How many are there of you?"

Pass these II boys"
"Ther. Is now," said the spokes-
man.
"All right, pass 49," said the man OF
the beasts, for he never sends child
away if he can help it.
During the hour and half lecture
he had no more appreciative hearers
than these Is newsboys. After 1t was
over he stepped out the back way and
here were the IS awaiting as before.
Their spokesman now came forward
and expressed the sentiments of the

LITTLE CREDIT DUE TO NATURE.-Ex-
Mayor Hewitt has no mistaken ideas
as to how New York city acquired its
pre-eminence. 1t is said that he was
recently in conversation with a man
who knew little of the metropolis.
ITO what do you ascribe New York's
greatness?" the former mayor was
asked.
ITO push," laconically responded Mr..
Hewitt.
But your city has been greatly ia
vored. You will admit that?"
"Only in giving birth to citizens who
are resourceful and energetic, and In
the ability to always attract men OF
the same stamp from other places"
But haven't the natural advantages
of New Iork much to do with the
citys progress?"
"Sir," replied Mr.. Hewitt, closing
the conversation. Mature would make
grass grow on Broadway If we didn't
interfere"

Human Alarm Clock.

At 1 o'clock the other morning, a
well-dressed man strolled into one of
the uptown messenger offices. He had
been dining out and evidently, from
the rakish tilt Of his opera hat, the
dinner had been a success.
II want a messenger boy to come
and wake me up in the morning"
What hour?" The clerk was all
business, for the request was not unu-
sual.
Seven o'clock, I've got to catch a
train" he explained.
"All right, sir; 7 o'clock" assured
the clerk.
The man turned as he was going
out of the door. Have the boy ham,
mer at the door hard" he cautioned
I'm a dead one when get to sleep
and I've got to catch that train
Then he went home and went to sleep
with absolute confidence.

Of the man who had dined the night
before, "Get up In there!" he cried
Get up, you old sleepyheaded!"

in sleepy tones from the room. Its
a mistake. I don't want to get up"
"Oh, yes, you do, my dodo bird" is
the fresh reply. And the tattoo on the
door goes on with redoubled strength
"All right, boy; I'm awake now!
howles the man who has been sleeping
You can go away now"
"Not till you've signed this receipt
the boy insists.
The man had to crawl out of bed and
come to the door. The boy has paper
ready, and as he is a careful man he
reads before signing. 1t certif1es that
he has been thoroughly wakened by
Messenger No. 4a2 and that he is no,
going back to bed again that day.
''Is this a joke?" asked the boy.

ga One of the constituents of Judge
Culberson, the father of the present
senator from Texas, had wagered that
he could get a definite and decided
opinion from the old man, proposition
so unlikely that it created no little ex-
citement in the Texas town in which
the judge resided. 1t had been stipu-
lated that the bet should be decided In
front of a livery stable, where Judge
Culberson liked to spend some Of his
leisure hours.
A crowd collected, and as they dis
cussed the state of the weather and
the condition of the crops a newly
sheared flock of sheep was driven by.
Judge" said the man who had made
the wager, those sheep have been
sheared, haven't they?"
1T looks like it, on this side," re-
piled the judge.
AZ Whenever we hear man making
a disparaging insinuation in regard to
his mother-in-law we always feel like
saying to him, "Sir, you never would
have been anywhere if your father had
never had a mother-in-law."

At Mr.. Broughton, the English artist

day in search of a suitable back
ground of dark pines for a picture he
had planned. He found at last the
precise situation he was seeking, and
best of all, there happened to be
pretty detail in the figure of an old
woman in the foreground.

Broughton, ito remain seated until

sented, but in a few minutes asked me
how long I should be. Only about
a quarter of an hour I answered, re-
assuringly.
Three minutes or so later she again
asked me-this time with manifest
anxiety-if I should be much longer.
"'Oh, not long I answered. But

8zT A story is told of canny Scot
who dealt in old horses, alternating
his spells of labor with heavy sprees.
During the period Of depression which
followed each over-indulgence, John
habitually took to bed, and there dill
gently studied the family Bible. Dur
ing one of these fits Of attempted re-
formation his condition prompted his
wife to call in the Rev. Mr.. Wallace,
the parish minister, who at the time
happened to be passing.
"Oh, Master Wallace, come in and
see oor John; he's rale bad
Whats wrang wi him."
Hes feart to meet his Maker" said
Mrs. John.
Quick as fire came the crushing re-
ply:

plowed into the coach and threw 1t from the
track. The smoke5taCk. headlight and cow
catcher of the locomotive were broken In

an hour. he saw the rear coach OF the &C

mediately shut off steam and worked his
