An amusing story is told of the Rev
H. S. Thrall. one of the pioneers of
Methodism in Texas. In company with
a number of itinerants who were on
their way to conference, DR.. Thrall
stopped to spend the night with an
old farmer. 1t was the custom then to
settle the bill at night, so that they
might rise about o'clock in the morn
ing and ride a good way before break
fast and lie by in the heat of the day.
DR.. Thrall. acting as spokesman of the
party, said to the old farmer after
supper: 1--WE are a company of Meth
odist preachers going to conference. If
you will get the family together we
will have prayers with you After
prayers one by one settled his bill. DR.
ThralIs turn came, and he asked for
his bill. The old farmer replied: "Well,
pa'son, I charged the rest rs cents;
but bein' as you prayed for us so good
I won't charge you but 20 cents" The
brethren had the laugh on DIR. Thrall.

holdings with a view to buying them.

MORTGAGE TAN IN NEW YORK.

The fight that is being made against
the bill in the New York Legislature
to tax mortgages four mills nat, that
is. four mills on the face value of the
mortgages, is meeting with the most
strenuous opposition, and it looks as
if it would be defeated. 1t is one of
Gov. Odell's measures, and il is under
stood that the political opposition to it
is led by Senator Plat. Delegations of
Republicans have called on the Cover
nor and told him that the Republican
party would go down in defeat at the
next election if he insisted upon forcing
the bill through the Legislature.
But why is it that there is so much
opposition to this bill? If we under
cages there are taxed at the same rate
as real estate. Then why should there
be such strong opposition to the pend
ing bill. Is it because no tax is levied
on mortgages Notwithstanding the fact
that the law provides that they shall
be taxed?
The argument is that if the tax is
put on mortgages real estate Will have
to pay it. 1t is difficult to see how it
will unless there should be a great
scarcity of money. The bonds of New
York city, which call for only three
and a half per cent. interest, sell at a
premium. 1t would seem, therefore,
as if money could be obtained in that
city on real estate mortgages so easily
that the money lender could not make
it a condition that the borrower should
pay the tax on the mortgage.
What the outcome of the fight on the
bill will ba is as yet problematical
The indications are, however, that the
bill will be beaten. The Governor will
hardly have the courage to insist upon
a bill which is so bitterly opposed by
some of the strongest men in his own
party. But he has the satisfaction of
having forced the Legislature to pass
his bill raising the saloon license A
liquor dealers license in Manhattan
now costs $1,000. and in Brooklyn $3.50.
Saloons can be taxed in New York if
mortgages cannot.

Won Money While He slept.

To celebrate his remarka BILE achieve
ment of winning a bet on a horse race
while he was asleep, the Hon. Mike
Kirk, sometimes known as the mayor
of Canal street. and a probable can
didate for alderman in de Ate" next
year, gave a dinner to a number Of
his friends in Loebers restaurant in
Grand street, says the New York Sun
Kirk. who keeps a saloon at Canal
and Chrystie streets, went to the Han
field House in Grand street Saturday
afternoon and there met Louis Cells,
the proprietor. Cells plays the races
now and then, and on Saturday some
one wired him that James J. Corbett
could not lose the first race at New
Orleans. Giles gave the tip out to
Kirk, Garlic Luger, Charlie Crawford
Brooklyn Johnnie" Reagan, Jim De-
vine and several others. All played it
and when the horse finished outside
the money they turned upon Cells.
"Ach," he said, Il will get hunk NIT
you. 1 will vim to-day undt you will all
feel lag kiging yourselfs.
Shortly before the fourth race at New
Orleans was run Cells marked on slips
of paper all the horses that were en-
tered, put the slips in a hat, and drew
out one which read Flocarline.
way to pick Winners. Any chentlemans
vat wants ter bed NIT me can get in to
it, yes? Mop"
The crowd laughed at Cells, all save
Kirk. who was sound asleep in a cor
ner.
"Neffer mindt, dis is we're I laff at
you" said Cells as he went to the tele-
phone.
Hello. hello!" he shouted; dis is

Sucker! Crazy Dutchman!" yelled
the crowd.
'Iss dot SOP" said Cells II will show
you how much of a sugger I vas"
Hey, hello, helloi" he shouted again
in the transmitter, put down another
bed for me for Mag Kirk for Won

At this point Kirk woke up. "Oi
dropped me coin on Jim Corbett," he
said, but l just had foine dream. Oh
thought 1 won a hundred to wan. Dim
sorry OF woke up"
Then he went to sleep again. Cells
and Kirk were the subjects of all kinds
of jeers until the ticker unrolled the
information that Flocarline had won
at to I.
Cells dashed for his safe and fshed
out $780, With the money in one hand
he shook Kirk with the other.

How did yez guess my dream?"
It took Kirk some time to realize
his good fortuna He and Cells fin

who never bets on a h~~se, was toast

PLACES GOING BEGGING.

The government is finding it difficult
to get men-that is competent men
to fill certain positions in it's service.
For instance there are vacancies in
the corps of civil engineers of the
navy, for which examinations were re-
Gently held in New York and Chicago.
In the former city only six candi-
dates and in the latter one candidate
applied for examination. The pay of
the positions starts at 81, 700 per year,
with certain perquisites in the way of
quarters, mileage, etc, with a peTiodi-
cal advance in the pay. Moreover,
they are life Jobs, and at the age of
sixty-two years the incumbent is en-
titled to retirement on two-thirds pay.
Yet for all this the places are going
begging.
The same sort of thing is true of
certain other branches of the federal
service. There are 100 or more clerk
examiner places to be filed in the
bureau of the Civil Service Commits
sion, for which examinations are to
be held next month. These places
pay from $s40. to $1,40O per year, with
certain allowances. Another bureau
in which men are wanted, with no
waiting list, is the steamboat inspec-
ton service. 1t is understood that
there are pretty nearly always va
cancies in this service and that compe-
tent and available men are eagerly
snapped up.
Why is it that these government
jobs are not quickly taken? The an
swer seems to be that there is
dearth of men trained to perform the
duties required of those who hold the
positions, and that where there are
such competent men they find no diff
ficulty in procuring employment in civil
life at higher remuneration than is
offered by the government. The navy
department, for instance wants civil
engineers who are competent to con-
struct or supervise the construction
of yards and docks. For this it will
pay $2,700 to $500 a year. But civil
engineers who are able to undertake
the supervision of such works can
command much better pay from pri-
vate employers. In the steamboat serv-
ice only thoroughly competent me-
chanical engineers are wanted as
inspectors; but such men are also
wanted by private steamboat inter-
ests and are taken at prices above
those of the government.
And yet it must be admitted that the
government pays it's employees fair
wages. AS a usual thing the work is
light and the hours few per work.
ing day. There is no easier taskmas-
ter for a competent workman than
the government. Furthermore, most
of the government jobs referred to
are for life or during good behavior
That is a consideration of value The
situation, in a nutshell, justifies the
conclusion that there is room in both
the public and private services for a
great many more young men who are
trained along special lines-who are
specialists, competent to do certain
things better than others can do them
There are lots of opportunities for
young men, if they will prepare them
selves to take advantage of them.

Nothing Personal .

A gentleman having an estate in the
highlands, as he was going abroad for
some time, advertised the shooting to
let, and told his gamekeeper, Donald,
who was to show the ground, to give
it a good character to anyone who CALI
ed to see it, says Spare Moments.
An Englishman came down, and In
quiring of Donald as to how it was
stocked with game first asked if it had
any deer. Donalds reply was:
thousands of them"
ANY grouse ?"
thousands of them. too"
ANY partridges?'
Thousands of them. too"
"Any woodcock?"
Thousands of them. too"
The Englishman, thinking Donald
was drawing the long bow, asked if
there were any gorillas. Donald drew
himself up.
"Weel, they are no. so plentiful they
jist come occasionally; moo and again,

1t is said in Washington that the
actual reason why the invitation of
Kaiser Wilhelm for the North Atlantic
squadron to visit Kiel next summer
was declined was because the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Navy feared
that the American and German sailors
might clash and get into fights if they
were brought together The idea that
the American ships would suffer by
comparison with the German, and that
that was the reason the invitation was
