A certain newspaper proprietor had q
way of appearing In the composing
and press rooms at the most unexpected
times. and as his visits often resulted
in q general "shakeup'' of the working
forces Of the paper they were awaited
with fear and trembling by the en-
ployees.
One time one Of the pressmen, an ex-
cellent workman, who had been there
many years. but was sometimes guilty
Of a lapse Of sobriety. bad a black eye

noticed 1t. By a sudden inspiration he
seized an ink roller and daubed some

LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS.
eAe Magnificent Revenge Of a Gov
ern0r of Missouri.

~oS uA@9 IA " WV
ernor Of Missouri.
While Robert Stewart was governor
of Missouri a steamboat man was
brought in from the penitentiary al an
applicant for a pardon. He was a large,
powerful fellow, and when the govern
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 ES-
erty. Before he handed it to him he
said, "YOu will commit some other
crime and be in the penitentiary again.
I fear"
The man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked doubt
full, unused a few minutes and said:
"You will go back on the river and
be a mate again, l suppose"
The a replied that he would.
"Well, l want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. Il want
you to pledge your word that when you
are mate again you will never take a
billet Of wood in your hand and drive
a sick boy out Of a bunk to help you
load your boat on a stormy night"
The steamboat man said he would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such a question.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become a governor,
and you may want him to pardon you
for a crime. One dark, stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped your boat
on the Mississippi river to take on a
load Of wood. There was a boy on
board who was working his passage
from New Orleans to st. Louis, but he
was very sick Of fever and was lying in
q bunk. You had plenty of men to do
the work, but you went to that boy
with a stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out
into the wretched night and kept him
toiling like a slave until the loau was
completed. | was that 10y. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty Of
such brutality"
The man, covering and hiding his
face, went out without a word.
What a noble revenge that was and
what a lesson to a bully!-Success.

The Polka.

The polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take in evidence
its origin. A Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing ''out OF her own

Joy of her heart song, tune and steps.
This she did On q Sunday afternoon in
Elbeleinitz. and an artist. one Josef
Neruda. who spled her. made a note Of
all he saw. The people Of the town
adopted the dance and called it the
pulka. half step. In 1885 1t reached
Prague and Vienna in 1910; thence It
spread rapidly through Europe. When
