WANTED TO KNOW IT ALL.
Kentuckian Thought of New York a,
Farming Community.

A traveller in the more thinly settled
mountain districts of Kentucky, as a
rule, will meet with hospitality wher-
ever he encounters the natives, but
insular mind and character abound,
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
A backwoods host and his guest usu.
ally sit before the door with the Wis
itor and family in the early evening.
One recent sojourner in the land en-
deavored, in return for rapt attention,
to picture at length tha superior at
fractions of city life and scenery.
I'm New York." he said impressive
ly, there are buildings taller than the
highest pines and sycamores of these
mountains. In one block alone are a
dozen called skyscrapers each con-
talning larger population than this
county On one avenue there are
miles OF millionaire mansions. At
night the buster streets are bright as
noon. One called Broadway has more
electric lights than there are stars in
clear sky"
A pause to note the effect of his &C
count was followed by a long silence.
Presently, when it seemed that the
subject was sabout to be forgotten, a
voice from the stiffness inquired with
deep interest: e
Say, mister, in thet New York city
Is thur much corn and oats?"
"Yes, indeed"
Much lumber?"
Great quantities"
"How bout gingseng?"
PLENTY. More of everything there
than any other one place alive"
But thur amt much live stock?"
"Oh, yes, there is
"Poultry?"
"FlOcks." ~
A sigh of reluctant capitulation
from the earnest questioner and an
other deep silence ensued Finally the
same voice broke the silence again:
PLANT early or late?"

HE WAS AFRAID OF GHOSTS.
Negro Wouldn't Dust Table Upon
Which a Man Died.

There is large table in one corner
OF police. station in an eastern city
which the police themselves have had
to dust off lately. Recently negro
that was stabbed was carried into the
station and died on the table It is
part of the negro trusty's duties to
dust the table every day The day
after the death the sergeant noticed
that the table had not been busted and
and he called the trusty.
Dust that table," he said.
The trusty took off his hat and
made low bow.
Look heah, sergeant" he said "Ah

Precocity Of the Modern Child.

There is no doubt that the thought
full child of to-day would have been the
much-punished child of the past, says
the London Chronicle. At the same
time the witty child does add to the
gayety of life, besides enforcing a
higher standard of conversation among
her reproving elders. It was a mis-
take, for instance, on the part of the
reproving elder to tell one of these
wits of the nursery that if she was so
naughty she would not go to heaven.
The little culprit seemed impressed
for a brief moment and then she gave
a resigned sigh. "Oh, we'll" she re-
marked, .'I've been to two theaters

Whether, under the circumstances,
1t would have been fair to have
blamed the pup for his choice OF

company he kept, are questions which

STORIES OF LINCOLN,

Side Lights ON the Character Of tAe
Martyr President.
II have read several Lincoln ami
versary speeches." said Mr.. Charles
! Frederick, land have been struck with
the statement contained in some Of
them to the effect that Mr.. Lincoln sell
dom got mad and that when he did get
mad he did not allow himself to get
very mad. If these speakers spoke
from their personal experience, it is all
right, but my personal experience with
him one night satisfied me he could get
up terribly good sized case of mad
at times.
II was a boy at the time and was a
messenger for the old American Tele-
graph company, which in after years
was absorbed by the present Western
Union Telegraph. For several days
there had been number Of kilograms
for the president from army officers,
and among them remember two or
three from General Nc Clellan. don't
remember now why they did not come
over the military telegraph lines. Well,
one night started over to the White
House with telegram that I knew
came from General Mcclellan. It was
for the president.
"1n those days there was always a
guard of soldiers stationed at the two
avenue gates, as also at the other
gates, but messenger boys were gener-
ally well known, and they were admit
ted day or night without any question,
at least to the front door, where an
other soldier guard was also stationed.
There was always an officer about the
door, who receipted for kilograms.
This night. however, saw Mr.. Lin
coin coming toward the outer gate, and
I thought would personally hand him
the telegram, which did. He smiled
pleasantly enough as he opened it. but
a change suddenly came over him.
Have you the other telegrams?' he
demanded Of me. replied that had

that knew there had been one or two
others that day from General McClel-
Ian.
"That is what he says added the
president, 'and what annoys me is that
have not received them
''Then, turning to the sentry, he said:
Send up to the door for the officer in
charge and tell him that when tele-
grams come here addressed to me they
should and must be delivered to me.
Tell him also,' and by this time the
president was very mad, that II he
sends any more Of my kilograms over
to Mr.. Stanton's house I'll drive him
away from here. Mr.. Stanton has
enough kilograms Of his own and
should not have mine.'
Though was but boy" said Mr..
Frederick, II could see that Mr.. Lin
coin was mad all the way through and
that for the moment, at least. he was
displeased with his war minister, Sec
retary Stanton, and that he intended
exactly what he said. The president,
then directing himself to me, contin-
ued: Boy, tell your folks that must
have my kilograms and that e these
soldiers about the door interfere any
more I'll drive every one Of them away.
I don't want them and never did want
them about the place. :

parently lost in deep reverie, and
wearing on his head an absurd model
OF top-hat. On hearing my footsteps
he rose and shambled across the grass
to meet me, his hat (Which was se-
cured with an elastic band) cooked
knowingly over one eye.
Why, you remember him. cried
the boy This is the dog I bought at
the farm. We call him Marcus Au-
relius because he's always meditating
He's awfully clever; I've taught him
heaps of tricks
The animal sauntered up and wiped
his paws on my trousers by way of a
greeting.
Hello Marc!" said his master. "Sit
up!"
The dog promptly 7fopped down full
:tngth on the grass.
i didn't tell you to die" cried the
boy. "Sit up you little black kguard!"
Marc, with his top-hat hanging un-
der his chin like nose-bag, rolled
over and entertained us by dying"
on his back
That's just like him." said the boy;
its the easiest trick he's got; and
whenever l tell him to do anything
else he always will 'die;'' he won't sit
up or run round after his tail"
Marc having "died" for what he
considered a reasonable length of
time, now rose to his feet and saun-
tered back to his meditations, this
time wearing his top-hat on the back
OF his neck, as though it was sol
dier's knapsack.
What's he got that on for?'
"Why, l want him to get accus-
toned to it, because I'm going to teach
him to wear it when he goes out into
the street." s.-
What can he do besides die?'
/. Well" answered the boy, II think
he'd make a good sporting dog be-
cause he's always digging holes in the
garden, and I think he's kill rats if he
had the chance. I tried him once with
mouse that caught in the stable;
I let it loose on the kitchen floor, and
somehow Marc lost it, and it ran away
somewhere, and we couldn't find it,
and mother made an awful fuss. She
doesn't like Marc, I'm sure she doesn't,
front of the dining room fire, but al
ways has to go into a basket. Women
never value a good dog; they don't
know one when they see him. Do they,
Marc?"
The dog-who appeared now to
have finally determined to carry his
top-hat as chest protector-on hear
ing his name called, awoke with a
start from his reverie, and after mo-
ment's hesitation, as though he forgot
exactly how the trick began, turned
slowly over and died"
Many years have slipped away
since first saw Marcus Aurelius medi-
tating on the sun-lit lawn, and though
knew him as baby, I find him to
be quite a gray-haired old man. No
top-hat appears rakishly perched upon
his shapeless head, and he stretches
himself with perfect confidence upon
the sacred hearthrug and suffers no
rebuke.
Mare" says mother, with a slight
Ftremble in her voice, where's your
master?" e! -"
The dog wags his stumpy tail, but
it is heartless proceeding, and he
does not even raise his head. Per-
haps he knows as we'll as we do that
wide seas roll between himself and
Australia, and long before the boy will
ever think of crossing them again.
Marcus Aurelius will have performed
his old trick in sober earnest and
shambled off down that dusty pathway
trodden years ago by the family of
juvenile porkers, the old sheep-dog,
and all the other friends of his youth.

SKATERS SKATE
FOR PRIZES
Tonight At the Windsor
Roof Rink
GREAT INTEREST is BEING SHOWN
And There VIII Be Many Competitors
for the Prizes---MaSked Fest
Promises to Draw a Great
Crowd of Spectators.
GREAT INTEREST IS BEING SHOWN

The masquerade skating fest at the
Windsor Hotel roof rink tonight
promises to draw every skater in the
city, as well as more of their friends
than can be accommodated.
If the night is clear the event will
be one of unusual interest and pleas
ure to all lovers of roller skating as an
amusement.
The new floor of white maple has
been entirely completed and every
thing will be in readiness for the
skaters.
The floor is Of the finest quality,
smooth as it is possible to obtain one
and splinters and Irregularities are a
thing of the past.
The judges will not be announced In
advance, but will be secured from
among those present and not skating,
including five in all.
Only those who are masked will be
allowed to skate in competition for the
prizes.
Inasmuch as there is considerable
rivalry among number of skaters
who have practiced with zeal for some
time past it is likely that the very best
efforts of score or more of ladies and
an equal number of gentlemen, will be
put forth to capture the first prizes.
The second and third prizes will
offer consolation to those who may not
be quite so skillful or so graceful.

HANDSOME DONATION TO HOSPITAL
Five Hundred Dollars Given BY County
Board.

Five hundred dollars was the hand
some cash contribution made the
Amercus Hospital yesterday by the
county commissioners, this sum equal
ling that given recently by the city
council for the support of this splendid
county institution.
And the money goes for a most
worthy cause indeed.
The hospital is an institution in
which every man, woman and child in
the county is interested, and all are
gratified at the great success that has
been attained there already.
Yesterday Doctors Cato, Prather and
Field, Mr.. Arthur Rylander, president
oSsthe ASSOCIATION, and a committee
from the Ladies Auxiliary went before
the commissioners, asking for aid to
the amount of $500. Their request was
very readily complied with.
The commissioners fully appreciate
the inestimable value of such an insti-
tuition as that established here, and
which is doing such great work in
the alienation of suffering, illness and
disease, and cheerfully do they contrib
ute to its maintenance.
The $500 given by the commissioners,
added to like amount from the city,
already given, will place the hospital
upon much firmer basis.
