Dry Goods Merchants Attempt at Sar-

The following story of himself was
told me by wealthy dry goods mer-

zone night last week l happened to
meet Smell, representing the Amos
keag mills, at the Bay State hotel
and after a good supper l invited him
to my store, including in the invita-
ton an order.
The following day my drummer
friend walked in and inquired for me.
At that time l was exceedingly busy,
and told him SO several times, and his
answer each time was: oh, very well
sir; no hurry at all. l haven't even
finished my paper yet

this way for an hour, thought of this

Sky Falls.

One such fall may be quoted here, be-
cause it is near at home-at Dover,
Dec. IT, 1852, and was witnessed by a
naval officer, Lieut.. Higginson. AT

Quaint Indian Legend of Pixies Peak

told that they could not bring such
burdens of earth into heaven. Ac-
cordingly they dropped them all then
and there. These falling masses made
great heap on the top of the world
which extended far above the waters,
and this is the origin of Pixies Peak,
which is thus shown to be directly
under the gate Of heaven. ct was
formerly twice as high as now, but
lost its summit, as is told in another
legend).
"The rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped from the sky. The variety
and extent of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earth's
choicest materials are deposited
there And still as the consultations
move across the heavens and vanish
above the mountain submits we may
see the spirits rise from the great
river and pass to the gate of heaven.

In the Hayes-Tilden campaign the
Hon. w. w. Rice Of Worcester, Mass,
was a candidate for Congress, and
made q desperate fight for his cleo
ton. He had secured the aid of a
friend of Gen. Butler to speak for and
with him.
On the goth and last night of the
campaign Mr. Rice, who before that
had always spoken first, said to his
friend as they were driving to West
boro. Joe, you must speak first to-
night"
The reply was: 81 have raked after
the cart SO far, and decline respectful

The thought flashed through his
friends mind to play little joke on
the principal, and he replied, "All
right. will open the meeting and
give you the pleasure of closing it."
Mr.. Rice had prepared carefully a
speech which he had given at all his
meetings, and his friend had heard it
SO often that he was familiar with all
its details. When the meeting was
called to order Mr.. Rice's friend was
introduced as the first speaker and
exhausted, in his own choice of words,
every point of Mr.. Rice's speech.
AS he sat down, Mr. Rice slapped
him on the knee and said, Joe. when

The foolishness of wives is shown

You can get poteen at about 10 shil-

Spot Where the Lesser Spirits
Dropped Their Burdens Of
Earth Before Entering Heaven
-World'o Choicest Mate rails.

The quaint Indian legend of the for
nation of Pixies Peak is as follows:
AT the beginning of all things the
lesser spirits possessed the earth and
dwelt near the banks of the great
river. They had created a race of
men to be their servants. but these
men were far superior to the preset
inhabitants of the earth and LGde
endless trouble for their creators.
Therefore the lesser spirits resolved
to destroy mankind and the earth it
self, SO they caused the great river
to rise until it burst its banks and
overwhelmed everything. They them
selves took each large portion of
the best of the earth that they might
create a new world and quantity Of
maize, which had been their particu-
lar food, and returned to heaven. Ar

of the profits and paying for the ma
te-ials and the fine that may be in
Cured; the risk is borne mainly by
those actually engaged in the manu-
facture, it being almost impossible to
reach the real culprit, who lures the
poor folk into SO much trouble.
The smoke and glare of the still fire
is usually the immediate cause of de-
lection; and that reminds me that the
neatest instance 1 know of a poteen
maker evading suspicion for long
time was by an unusually audacious
plan. He rented house adjoining a
police barracks and used an upstairs
room as his distillery, knocking a flue
into the police chimney. With water
handy, and being on the best OF terms
with the parties next door, but nat
urally with stand-off, distant manner
toward them, he thus got rid of his
smoke by their innocent and unsolic-
tied assistance. The fire in police
kitchen in Ireland, you must know,
is kept burning night and day, to
warm and feed constant patrols go
ing from and returning to barracks.
No arrests are made when men can
be made amenable by summons to
court, and as a general rule no re-
sistance is offered, as the constabu-
larry are men of splendid physique and
are also known to be armed on this
duty. Indeed, in such a sportsmanlike
spirit do many of the poor peasants
themselves take the game that they
bear the police little or no malice if
the catch is fair one; but woe to an
informer should countryside detect
him!

Philadelphia Broker Declares

you'll find that chivalry dies out when
it comes to a question of taking care
of women's money for them.
Men think of large sums of money
in the abstract; women only in the
concrete. If you tell woman she will
profit $4,000 in a certain deal she
thinks you are honest and not trying
to get ahead of her. If you tell her
there's going to be big coup of $780,

A Sweet Youna Face,

Along the noisy city ways,
And in the rafting city car,
On this the dreariest of days.
Perplexed with business fret and Jar
When suddenly a young sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just cold within
And truth was just full of doubt
The world was just full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile
The world grew pure. the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine cleaned a little while
Across the darkness of the storm.
