Couldn,t Ruffle His Hammer.

Quincy Tufts, an old time dealer
in mems furnishings, whose place
of business was in the old Herald
building, on Washington street,
Boston, was celebrated for MS ex-
IRENE courtesy in dealing with try
ing customers. On one occasion a
man whom we will call Mr.. A. re-
marked on this trait to another
man, whom we will call Mr.. B.,
whereupon the latter laid wager
that he could ruffle the temper of
Mr.. Tufts. The wager was accept
ed, and the two repaired to Mr..
Tufts place of business. Mr.. B.
asked to see samples of mems suit
ings. Mr.. Tufts produced piece aft
er piece of cloth until the supply
was exhausted, and Mr.. B., select
ing one, said, 81 will take just
cents worth of this" Mr.. Tufts
took penny from his pocket and,
placing it upon the cloth, with a
piece of chalk drew an outline upon
the cloth and cut out piece of it |
and with the utmost politeness
handed it to Mr.. B. The wager was
paid.-Boston Herald.

The Vote Was Secured.

An ex-M. P. who contested a

Once, after long and fatiguing
days canvass, 1 tackled dissent
ing minister, who was very keen
upon the subject of getting the
bishops out of the house of lords,
and in pursuance of his favorite
hobby he asked me:
"Well, sir, what are you prepared
to do about the bishops ?"
L was irritated and fatigued by
my days work, and l testify NUT
tered, ooh, hang the bishopsw
The minister bowed and replied:
well, sir, you go rather beyond me
there. | Gamma undertake to 90 al
together that length with you, but
you shall haze my vote."- Pearson's

Plugs of Tea.

"Plugs of tea, not unlike plugs Of
tobacco, are used by the Russian
poor" says a globe trotter. "This
is low grade of tea, the stems are
mixed with the leaves, and all are
pressed together by means of an ad-
hesive gum into a hard cake, or
plug. A very strong and bitter cup
of tea is made out of these tea
plugs, cup that woald give you or
me a nervous headache. But the
moujik is used to it, and he will
down twenty or thirty cups of plug
tea along with black bread, raw on
ions and salt fish and afterward
light his cigarette with as contented
a sigh as you or | will heave on
Thanksgiving day at the end of a
nine course turkey dinner" New

As Good as She Sent.

Years ago the once famous Mr..
and Mrs. Barney Williams were
playing an engagement at the Bos-

Mrs. Williams was somewhat noted
for her sharp tongue both on and off
the stage.
On the night in question she had
been disturbed by the crying of a
baby in the gallery. Stepping to
the footlights, she stopped in the
middle of her lines and, looking to-
ward the offending child, cried,

W9MAN'S PERFIDY.
The Way It Was First Disclosed to
GEORGE Brandes.


In his young manhood George
Brandes lived almost entirely in the
life Of the intellect. Once he miss
ed keeping an engagement with a
girl because he was absorbed in He
gels philosophy at the time when
he ought to have been at the tryst-
ing place. He tells about it in his
"Recollections::" "With a passionate
desire to reach a comprehension of
truth, | grappled with the system,
began with the encyclopedia, read
the three volumes of 'Esthetics,'
the Philosophy of Law the Philos-
ophy of History the Phenomenon
ology of the Mind then the 'Philos-
ophy of Law again and finally the
Logic the Natural Philosophy
and the Philosophy Of the Mind in
a yeritable intoxication of compre-
henSion and delight. One day when
a young girl toward whom | felt at
tracted had asked me to 90 and say
goodby to her before her departure
l forgot the time, her journey and
my promise to her over my Hegel.
AS | walked up and down my room
l CHANGED to pull my watch out of
my pocket and realized that I had
missed my appointment and that
the girl must have started long
ago."
Once before in earlier days had
he missed another engagement with
another young lady, one Henrietta.
For the sake of Henrietta's beauti-
full eyes and under those eyes he
had soundly thrashed another little
boy. Then Henrietta asked him if
he would meet her the same evening
under the old bay tree DR.. BrandeS
writes: "When we met she had two
ong straps with her and at once
asked me somewhat mockingly and
lryly whether | had the courage to
ct myself be bound. Of course l
aid l had, whereupon very careful
y and thoroughly she fastened my
rms together with one strap. Could
move my arms? No. Then with
ager haste she swung the other
trap and let it fall on my back

Sens In Verse
When We Two Walked In Already.

When we two walked In Already
How sweet the summers were
How thick the branches overhead,
How soft the grass beneath our tread
And thickets where the sun burned red
Were full OF wings astir. my dear,
When we two walked In Already
Through paths young hearts prefer.
Since we two walked in Already
Glow long ago II seemsD
High hopes have died disconsolate;
The calm eyed angel men call Fate
Stands with drawn sword before the gate
That shuts out all our dreams, my dear,
Since we two walked in Already
Beside the crystal streams.
Beyond the woods of Already
The little brooks are dry;
The brown & ass rustles in the heat,
The roads are rough beneath our feet,
Above our heads no branches meet
And yet. although we sigh, my dear
Beyond the woods OF Already
We see more Of the sky.

ODD CASE OF COM5USTION.
Rosebushes Shipped In Wet Moss Al
most Burned Cp.

|
most Burned Up.
A peculiar case Of spontaneous
combustion or something like it is
described by a writer in Casters
Magazine.
On Feb. II, 1906, two large re-
frigerator cars Of young foscbushes
were received at Hannibal, Mo-, from
a nursery in California. They were
shipped in wooden cases containing
numerous auger holes for ventila-
ton and were carefully packed with
wet sphagnum, or California swamp
moss, to prevent chatting and to sup
port their vitality.
No ice was put in the cooling
tanks, and the covers of these as
we'll as all other openings in the
cars were closed as tightly as posi-
Bile. The cars were ten days in
transit. The outside temperature
was 60 degrees F. at the start and
Is degrees at the end of the trip.
Upon arrival steam was issuing
from every crevice of the cars.
Upon removing the tank covers it
rushed out in large volume. The
doors were opened, and ice was put
in the tanks. The free circulation
of cold air soon cooled the contents
of the cars.
In unloading it was discovered
that some of the upper layers of
boxes were badly damaged by heat,
which naturally was most intense
near the top Of the cars. No signs
of actual combustion were found, |
but this would probably have oc-
Cured in short time had not the
cars been quickly cooled.
The temperature must have been
nearly up to the burning point, as
many Of the green stems of these
plants were black and brittle.

Dazed Woman.
Only single cabbage remained
OF the wagon load of produce with
which the huckster had started in.
1t was a good head, and the keen
witted huckster was alive to the
chance of selling it, although the
hour was late. AS he glanced from
side to side of the street, seeking a
purchaser, says a writer in the New
York Sun, he was hailed from a
doorway by a housewives cry:
What are you selling?"

from the curb.
Sure; as good as any ever came
from Jersey"
How much do you want for it ?"
Its worth a dime, lady, but l
want to sell out, so you can have it
for a nickel"
After pulling off some of the
leaves to make sure the head was
fresh and sound the woman handed
the huckster a nickel. The coin
was transferred to his pocket, al
ready filled, and the cabbage was
placed in the woman's arms.
AS she turned to 90 another wo.

bargaining said to the merchant:

"Ten cents"

"Finest kind of Long Island cab

The woman who had just bought :
the last head of cabbage was aston ,

had one left when she knew the bot

second woman.
When the last conner said, CPL {

% the owner of the cabbage, took it a
rom her arms and handed it to the r
