a none too fertile farm in Indiana and
all Of whom have made their mark.

II know all about them. There were
1--WE brothers Of us on the old farm In
Indiana and father. We had team of
wabbly old horses. and we five boys
and father worked from daylight to
dark to raise enough stuff to feed those
horses.
"Finally 0ne Of the horses died, and
that gave two Of the boys chance to

could do. and when the other horse

GRANT AND OCHtlTREE,
The Grievance the President Had
Against the Colonel.

The Grievance the President Had
Against the Colonel.
After the war;" said veteran Of
fceholder, "a warm friendship sprang
ur between General Grant and Colonel
Tom Ochiltree. although they had
fought on opposite sides. When Grant
appointed large number OF people
who had been under him to federal
offices, he also appointed Ochitree.
Tom mad been under him in sense.
Tom was made United States marshal
in Texas.
"Well, you know In those days Tom
took very deep interest in the ponies
and vas a sort of patron saint of rae
ing in tie new southwest. He was so
much admired by horsemen generally
that it became quite the thing for own
ers to name their horses after him. AZ
one time there were not less than 6
dozen horses running at various track
under the name Of Tom Ochiltree.
"Everything went lovely until Tom
came up to Washington. several months,
after assuming his new duties. In the
course Of his visit he called at the
White House for a conference with
the president. After talking general
ties for awhile Tom noticed that the
president seemed to have something Or
his mind-didn't appear to be as frank
and cordial as usual. He finally asked
General Grant what the trouble was,
limiting that the chief executive might
not be satisfied with the manner in
which the marshal's office was being
conducted.
"'Well, III tell you said the presi-
dent, 4 don't like the way you've been
running about the country. following
the races see by the sporting col
umns of the papers that first you are
IN Louisville then you're in New York,
next you're in Sarato,.a and next some
where out west | would rather you
stayed at home and looked after your
office "-WashingtOn Post.

SECONDHAND SMOKES.
Selling Cigar Stubs IL Lucrative
Business In Naples.

Business In naples.
Buying and selling cigar stubs is
large and lucrative business in the
city of Naples, and many persons are
engaged in it. Some Of them have
little stalls or shops near the docks,
the arsenals and the manufacturing
establishments where workingmen are
In the habit of passing to and from
their tasks. Others, with less capital,
have little stands at street corners, a
board laid across a saw horse, upon
which their stock in trade Is displayed,
while the petty dealers in this line of
business exhibit their stock in little
piles upon the sidewalk, sometimes
not even newspaper being under
them.
The supply comes from the cafes.
restaurants, hotels and other pubic
places. Men and women pick over the
garbage heaps and the dust boxes, and
boys run up and down the pavements
in front Of the hotels early every morn
ing looking for "snipes." Some Of the
restaurant and cafe keepers sell the
privilege of picking up the cigar
stumps in their places to dealers, and
the proceeds amount to considerable
sum during the year. In other places
it is one OF the perquisites of the head
waiter.
Some of the stubs are taken to fac
tories, where they are cut up and man
ufactured into cigarettes and smoking
tobacco, but the greater part of them
are sold to the lower classes of work
ingmen, sailors and dock wallpapers,
who smoke them in their pipes. At
the entrance of the navy yard, which
Is upon one of the most freQuented
streets in Naples and in a very con
spicuous place, half dozen Of these
secondhand cigar dealers can be found
when the men are coming out Of the
gateY at the close of their days work
The employees are not allowed to
smoke inside. and their wages do not
permit them to indulge in the luxury
of cigars or even smoking tobacco ut
first hand, so, for a centiSSimO, which
is the smallest coin imaginable-one-
fifth of cent-they buy a cigar stub,
crumble it up in their hands and cram
it into their pipes. Chicago Herald
