For centuries inns and coffee houses
hayk been the clearing houses Of politi-
cabs and social gossip. To these great
men have come to test the steel Of
their intellects against other clever men
Of their time. Here Kings, princes, and
Presidents have come to eat and lie
and pass on next day 10 give place
TO others OF like or lower degree.
The landlord Of the pre-railway inn was
a source of information next to none in
his community, and because Of this was
held in high esteem by his neighbors.
His way Of securing his knowledge, was
TO catechise all newcomers. Benjamin
Franklin always had in readiness a little
speech which he offered the landlord the
minute he descended from the stage and
entered the tap-room of the inn. Ny
name is Benjamin Franklin" he would
say. Il was born in Boston. I am a
printer by profession. am travelling to
Philadelphia, shall have TO return at
such a time. and have no news Now
what can you give me for dinner?"
Sometimes when the sale OF liquor was
forbidden, the keeping of an inn did not
pay, and history records how the town
of Newbury. Mass, was once fined be-
cause no one there could be persuaded
TO keep an ordinary for travellers, posi-
bly, because by order of the general court
the price of a meal was set at six pence.
The Ipswich Tavern, however, founded
IN IN, was kept by a great-grand-
daughter of Gov. Endicott, and John
Adams especially commends the service
in his journal. Romance clustered richly
around the older New England inns. AT
the Fountain Tavern" Marblehead, the
great rendezvous for pirates in olden
days, pretty Agnes SURFACE, scrub
woman, was woed and won by an Eng
lish baronet, and rose to high estate

his remarkable deed, and Lentard was espe-
cially complimentary.
In reply Chris only laughed nervously.
The trainer had no great difficulty, now
that the leopard recognized its powerlessness,
in leading it back by means of the rope
At times it would become stubborn and
unruly, but an application of a sharpened
stick would have the effect of making it
tractable.
The last seen of the old farmer he was
still standing by the granary, blinking conf
cally at the "yalerish cur" and close to his
side stood the boy, speechless and wide-mouth-
ed with the excitment of the experience.
Within an hour the show-train was reach
ed. and the leopard was once more imprisoned
behind the bars of cage.
The proprietor of the show, learning from
Lentard the story of Chris service, offered to
make the young reporter press agent OF his
"grand aggregation" at a good salary, but
Chris declined.
The owners of the paper presently heard
of the offer the Snowman had made, and
they increased his salary to the amount the
other had named, advancing him as well, in
course of time, to a responsible editorial po-
sition, which he is at the present time filling
with credit both to himself and the paper.
The story of the leopard chase did indeed
make shot reading" as he had foreseen,
though, of course, in writing it he did not
mention his own name, and the days adyen-
ture was the most interesting event of his
life.

movable. and then selecting what appeared
to be the weakest point in its enemies line, 1t
rose into the air, headed for the youth, CHRIS.
Chris was not so tall as the others, and he
was easier to leap over; but, as matter OF
fact, he was not the weakest link of the semi
circular chain, and animal instinct was for
once at fault.
AS the leopard came toward him he did not
quail, but gathered every nerve of his body
for an instantaneous action. Like flash, an
idea for a desperate achievement suggested
itself to his mind, and without thought OF
the danger he incurred indeed, there was no
time for thought-he seized upon the plan,
and prepared to boldly and deity put it into
execution.
Swiftly as a bird the leopard came toward
him. and almost in twinkling was above his
head Then, with the lightning celerity of
a cobra's stroke, Chris right arm shot upward,
and he adroitly seized in yise-like grasp one
of the animals hind legs.
Though whirled around by the impetuous
course of the leopard his hold was not brok-
en-, and exerting suddenly all his strength,
Chris Topped his captive over upon its back.
Instantly Lentard ran forward, and, casting
the fork of hickory over the animals neck,
pinned its head to the ground.
The capture was complete.
Every man in the party praised Chris for

not having quite as much head as her sisters,

women have singular way of putting their
children to sleep in the middle of the day.

Inv means of tin scoop or palm leaf the water

Queer Payments

Many of the Christian missionaries in China
have knowledge of medicine and administer
to the physical as well as spiritual wants of
their charges. 1t is not likely, however that
they will get rich on fees. One of these mis-
sionaries in Seehuan, an inland province, had
a very distinguished patient in the wife of
the governor, She brought her fee with her
a chicken, duck, sixty eggs, two pounds of
cakes and leg of mutton. The last time she
came she brought not quite so much, but the
next day sent by messenger eight stocks of
fine ehrysanthemums. That doctor ought to
open general supply store.
