Chicago millionaire, George T.
Cline, had an extraordinary hobby.
He was Il connoisSeur of freshmen, ac-
cording to the local papers Though
on himself he would never spend more
than 10 or 20 cents a day. he thought
nothing of buying irishmen sumptu-
Gus dinners, with champagne in order
to hear them talk in their musical
brosue. An Irishman once played
Colonel Cline false. He stole a pair of
boots from him Discovering the theft,
the millionaire pursued the Irishman,
overtaking him as he was about to en-
ter pawnshop with the boots in his
hand. Those are my boots, you have
stolen them" said Colonel Cline Sure,
it was only joke said the lrishman.
But tie memorable millionaire hailed
the thief before magistrate and here
again the man repeated. 1T was only
a joke, your honor" only n joke,

II Mas Very Funny.

Grant County Herald.
A funny little incident took place
at Plattevile hotel during the fair.
the particulars Of which have just
leaked out. 1t seems that a gentle
man, accompanied by his vile,
stopped over night at one OF the ho-
tells and sometime during the night
the gentleman was taken with a ter
rible case of cramp colo. His wife
was frightened nearly to death, but
knowing that something must be
quickly done, she slipped on her
wrapper and went down to the din
ing room, where she emptied the
contents of the mustard cruet into
her handkerchief and ran back up
stairs; Owed into her room (as she
thought) and seeing a man lying In
bed, gently turned down the cover
and still more gently tucked up bis
lingerie and slapped on the plaster
No sooner had 1t come in contac,
with his epidermis than the man
arose, aud yelled out, What in h
Hoboken are you doing, womanN
The lady gave a glance at his face
it was not her husband. A screech
like that of siren on an ocean liner
split the air from the depot to the
Normal: there was IA sound Of patter-
ing feet and switching draperies; a
door slammed aud quiet again reign
ed! When the lady got To her own
room she told her husband of the
mistake she had made and 1t tickled
him so that the cramp collie took II
change of venue and left him.
