The Mysterious Passenger.

The captain of a vessel which was
bringing to America in the fall of 1876
mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
so closely that at last the passenger
said one day: "Sir, this is not the first
occasion upon which l have observed
the attentive scrutiny you bestow up
on me. May 1 inquire the reasonY'
Sir responded the candid captain,
you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. 1 don't believe you're anything
of the kind"
The passenger smiled. The smile
was full of pefspicacity and confidence
and was followed with, pray tell me,
then, what you believe me to be-"
At this question Captain Ewing
fidgeted, hesitated and finally blurted
out: well, to be honest, 1 think you
are gambler. You've we'll nigh
ruined yourself at home and are now
coming to fleece the fools you'll find on
shore"
The young mans smile broadened.
The next minute he turned grave
again, lowered his voice and replied:

me during this voyage, SO 1 have
studied you. l have come to the COLI
clusion that you are a man to be

A Mighty Rare Autocrapin.

There are an unlimited number and
variety of the genus autograph col
lector. Some have the grewsome fad
of collecting all autographs matter re-
lating to the assassins OF our presi-
dents. To be successful even in this
limited range requires much careful
research and great patience. The more
inconspicuous and unknown the sub
jects chosen the more difficult the task
of collecting. 1t may be said that it
is an easier task to secure an authentic
autograph of Napoleon Bonaparte or
of Cromwell than one of the practical
ly unknown murderer of President Nc
Kinley. The very obscurity from
which the perpetrator temporarily
emerged is hard to penetrate and there
fore makes the securing of his auto
graph difficult task.-Collector.

Short Names.

An English clergyman, DIR. Frederick
Lee, had a prejudice against a long
string of Christian names and held that
if such names were proposed the cler-
gyman should alter them at baptism
whether the parents were willing or
not. 1t was said of him that he chris
tened all the boys Frederick after him
self and all the girls Mary after the
Virgin. The author of THE Life of
Walter Pater" gives DR.. Lees method
of christening as follows:
name this child" he would say in
his authoritative voice
archibald Cholmondeley Constan-
tine Ferdinand" perhaps the mother
would whisper.
Frederick" she would hear. to her
amazement, and then would follow the
formula of baptism.
In the vestry of course there would
be objection.
''This child" DR.. Lee would reply,
will have to get his living in the
world, and what do you want to handi-
cap him with Archibald Campbell
Cholmondeley and all the rest of them
for? Anyhow. it's done now and can't
be altered"

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is a story Of a
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment. How can the
dead eat and drink" he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the de-
fusion must soon become actuallty-he
would die of starvation The strangest
ants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently in single file into the room adj
joining his and with the door open sat
down where he could see them to a
hearty meal. Here, who are these
people?" inquired the patient. Dead
men," answered the doctor. "Whatw
said the other do dead men eat?'
'To be sure they do, as you see for
yourself" was the answer. WELL"
said the corpse, ''if that is so, I'll join
them, for I'm starving" The spell was
broken, and he sat down and ate like
forty furnished men.

We were at the Big Tree grove, little

ums at her slender waist, and l, a

through the inner grove, where the
most mighty monarchs are-the Giant,
General Sherman, Jumbo, the Sisters
and others. We had reveled at the
contrasts between trees 300 feet high
and the cream cups and other sweet
spring flowers nesting at their feet
Then we had gone through the gates
into the outer forest and were sitting
at the rivers edge at the end of the
