A QITEEK LITTLE CHAP.

What sleepyheads the rain makes of us!
The bis drops fa’.l with a patter upon the
pavement, and now and then a gust of
wind gathers up a handful and dines them
mercilessly against the window pane to
shadow them into glistening spatterwork.
What a day for a nap, to lull across the
bed and fall asleep, with the gmter-eom
as a lullaby!
How 1 catered 1 conidn’t say. To tell
you the truth. 1 fail to remember anything
about it. 1 know that when 1 opened my
eyes my first thoughts were that I bad
ftuuibleil into a Tnllman palaeecar. By
the dun light which seemed to come in
from two oval-sh iped holes on one side I
could see what looked to be smooth bedsot
crimson plush, hall-hidden b\ heavy lolds
of damask curtains. 'I hen there was a
roaring sound, accompanied by a clatter
that was incessant. This idea was soon
dispelled, however, because as my eyes
grow jiccußfowwi to th© dim iisrht I khw
that 1 w.u- in a telephone exchange.
There, Rented on a stool witba huge green
Shade over Ins eves, was one of the most
con.leal little fellows I ever saw. He
looked for the world like one of ttie little
Browne s tiiat von see in St. .YiVWfls—a
little mite ot a fellow, with a big round
stomach and a pair ot legs like those of a
tpider. He didn’t seem to mind me at, all.
so intent was he engaged in making the
connections. Before him was the switch
board full of numbered biis of brass. so >
tli y seemed, and when the little electric
bell* rattled away be jerked up the ends ot
the wires and made the connection in
such a way as io lead me to suppose be
was an extremely ill-tempered and fussy
little fellow. 1 stood just behind him for
some time, watching his busy hands
sweep over the board and listening to the
conversation that ran nimbly over a
perfect network of little white wires.
As you may imagine, I was deeply inter
ested.
‘■Connect M 2 with 124.”
The busy band of the queer little chap
snatched'i;. a couple of brassy-looking
little knobs and placed them properly.
Then 124 said to M 2:
“Sera'c i rue quick, I itch.’’
1 thought that a very funny message
to be sent by telephone; but 1 was
tuore puzzled when 129 was connected
Mid said:
“I ache”’
As l stood there watching tbs little
brassy-looking knobs fly thick and fast
nrer the board 1 tried to single out from
the jargon enough of the conversation to
get, an idea of the people who were talk
ing such nonsense, and to satisfy my sell
that 1 wa- not,in the telephone office of au
insane asylum.
But the various sounds made only a Ba
bel. It was a whirr, a buzz, a tinkle and
a clatter, and all mixed up with the fun
niest and strangest of messages. Thequeer
little spider-likeebap, with bis big green
shade, sat on the stool and worked bis lit
tle arms almost as lust as you can ihink.
lie took no notice of my presence until 1
bad stood there watching him tor hours.
The messages came less frequent after a
while,and finally stopped, but the buzz
and whirr continued. Then the little fol
low tumid on his stool, pushed the green
shade to the top of his bead and took a
good look at me. Then he rubbed his eyes,
yawned and said something about being
awfully tired.
“Keep you pretty busy?'’ I said.
“Yes, rather. Old 124 is got a terrible
cold and keeps 142 busy all day.”
“Who is 124?”
“Old Nose. He needs blowing all day
lone.”
“Old Nose! Needs blowing? 1 don’t
exactly understand you.”
1 was thoroughly satisfied that my idea
f being in a telephone office of a lunatic
ssylum was correct. The little fellow
curled up his slender legs as he laid down
upon oucoi the crimson beds, made a pil
low of his hands and said :
“You’re a stranger?”
1 admiti-d the tact.
“Then I'll explain things. You are now

dim because it shines through the eyes
herein the frort part of the cranium.
What veil ca'l beds are tissues of brain.
The fellow I’m working for is asleep, and
I can take the time lo talk to you. The
brafn, as you must know, is composed ot
pearly 40" parts. It is divided oil into
Worlds, and each world is inhabited by
people so infinitessimal that sometimes
the microscope cannot reveal them. The
phrenologists have a much bet.ier idea oi
the brain than the doctors. They claim
that the division here is Language, this is
Comparison, this Self Esteem, and so on.
Each one of those worlds is complete
within itself, and each has a ruler. These
rulers are numbered from one to thirty
live, and it is with them that 1 make con
nections. Take a seat on the cerebellum
and I’ll give you an idea of bow I manage
things in here. First, let mo remove some
of the wax from this lelt ear—it accumu
lates like a snow-drift agai i:st the drum,
nna prevents a good deal of the nose from
going out. There, that will do.”
The little follow scraped some wax from
Ike ear drum with his lingers, rolled it up
like a pill ami threw it, as abase ball
pitcher would a ball, into one of a eounle
>f holes at my feet. These, 1 afterward
learm and. led into the nasal organ. Then he
wiped hrs hands on his little round stom
ach ami resumed bis position.
“The numerous nerves of the human
•ystm centre here on this switchboard.
As you know, ibese nerves are like the
finest kind of little wires, aud run out
everywhere, even to the extreme end of
the toe. These nerves make up the most

Sroot 1 I make connection with some
parti' .i part or the brain. The fellow
J’m corking for is still asleep and 1 can
afl'ord to rest awhile longer.”
“Do the w Ires ever break or get
crossed?”
“Oh, yen; often. You have felt a cramp
iu your toe, in your finger, or in your
stomach? Well, the neive-wires from
those parts got crossed lu some wav unit

“How arc dreams made?”
“As 1 lie here mv body rests on Consol

as you do, with oue exception, that of No.

ing a crazy kind of phonograph which
they wind and rewind to catch fragments

stray snatches of conversation that pass
over the win s during the day. When
night comes and my employer lies
down to slumber I connect 110 with the
switchboard and my day's work is about
done. The phonograph begins to unwind
and a medley of funtasilc things are
ground out by the crazy little people. This
is how dreams are made.”
"When your employer drinks whisky,
don't toe fumes arising to the head annoy
you ?”
“Of ootirec they do. They make this

“Don’t you never get tired of your soli
tarv confinement?”
-No. not much. I have all the fun 1
w antin here. You have no idea of bow
much real enjoyment is derived from this
business. Let mo show you.”
The queer little chap jumped lrom his
I couch and detached a striker from a tele
phone gong. Then ne scraped away some
wax from (he two big ears and placed the
sinker against the tympanum of Hie lelt
i a". Then by touching a button lie raised
me of the big eyelids so as to let in a lit
tle more of the reflected light. Then he
connected No. ;!l (Tune), applied the cur
rent and instantly the whirr and buzz Of
the room gave place to a flood of melody.
1 wa delighted, charmed!
“We have more than music in herp.
Here is a panorama,” said the chap as he
unroll'd a thin membrane in the rear
part of the cranium. “Now the eves are
the most perlectof lenses, and I bavennly
to connect the visual nerve and while my
employer is seeing these beautiful visions
wo also enjoy ibem in here, indeed there
Is no end to amusement with such a
combination of everything that belongs to
life.”
“Do you never experience aocidents or
pain!” *
“Uh. yes; often. Usually I can foretell
a disaster or an accident. You see 1 am
accustomed to slight shocks, such as
slump ug a toe or smashing a linger.
Tin -e jar the wires on the board and for a
second or so the vibrations interfere with
the transmission of messages. Sometimes
a severe shook causes confusion, but I
generally rally, though I have a horror
ot death. Hark I there’s a tremendous
ring 1 ”
The little fellow sprang from his
couch, jerked the green shade over his
eyes, aud was on his stool before the
switchboard in a twinkliug. I knew from
b:s inauner that something was wrong or
something was about to happen. 1 held
my breath and waited. Ilis little hand
flew over the board and then he yelled:
“Look out!”
There was a crash. The whirr and buzz
had ceased. .My mind was a blank.
The rain had ceased to fall, and the wind
that so noiselessly spattered the window
panes with the big drops had ceased. I
ruble amy eyes and tried to recall the
strange sights 1 had jusi seen. Then l
discovered that 1 was lying on the floor,
i had fallen off the bed. and it was the
fall that cut off the connection between
me and the queer little cuap with the
green shade.
DECLAIMING BAD BOYS.
The Good Work Done by One Woman.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in The Forum for April
A grand experiment lor the benefit of
boys has been made in the city of Buffalo
by Miss Charlotte Mulligan. When a
girl of 17 she began her humane work.
Suddenly reduced to straightened circum
stances by the failure and death of her
father, the current of her life was changed
from seeking her own pleasure to a desire
to be useful to others. Being the only sis
ter ot live brothers she appreciated the
trials and temptations to which boys were
exposed, and resolved to devote herself to
their improvement. Accordingly, she
wended her way one Sunday morning to
the mission school and told’ the superin
tendent that she would like to become one
of Bis regular teachers, aud would prefer
a class of his worst Bovs. “There thev
are,” said he, “in that corner. They have
exhausted the patience of five teachers.
You mav tiv them if you desire.” Imag
ine, then, a dozen ragged, unwashed
boys, alxiut the age of 14, with hats on,
chewing tobacco, expectorating in all di
rections, and passing their coarse jests
freely round; on a stool in front of them
sits a lovely girl, tastefully dressed in
fresh summer attire, a sweet vision ot pu
rity that awed them to respectful silence
without a word.
“Young gentlemen,” she said, on tak
ing her seat, “lam very happy the super
intendent bus assigned me this class, and
1 hope t" be your teacher all summer.
Wnen we meet In the street I shall say.
‘There aie some of my scholars.’ and l
shall ex pec i you to raise your bats and
bow to me,” (off went all the bats); “and
you will point me out as your teacher,
and 1 know you will not like to see iny
dress ooveie'd with tobacco juice” (the
quids were furtively dropped). She (be
pensed with the lesson oi the day aud to'd
them charming stories, to which they lis
tened with rapt attention to the close of
the session; and then they urged her to go
on. She asked each boy his name, writ
ing it carefully down, and in turn she
gave them her card, with the number and
street where she resided and said: “I
want you all to come there one aiternoon
every week. 1 have so much to tell you
ihatl cannot crowd one-naif of what I de
sire to say into the allotted hour on Sun
dav. “And boys.” sue added, “as water
is plenty here where we have this great
Lake Erie, I would like to have you all
come clean.”
When the day arrived they were all
there, with evident attempts at cleanli
ness. She gave them seuts under the
trees, and ottered thm crackers and
cheese to begin with, thinking with that
ancient sect that a man’s soul is in his
stomach, and that the boy, made on the
same general plan, could be most easily
reac >ed through that organ. On these
w. ek day s she taught them the decencies
of life, good manners and good language,
interspersing her practical lessons with
amusing or pathetic stories. Step by step,
sue made the acquaintance of their
parents, helped them to find work, to bet
ter homes, better food and clothing—soon
interesting a number of wealthy families
in ner experiment, From week to week
aud year to year she went steadilv on, her
class rapidly increasing, aud sue gaining
a complete influence over them, and. In
the form of rt tries, imparling much mor
al and religious Instruction. By her ef
forts the mission school was soon trans
planted from a rickety old building,
where she had often taught with an um
brella over her head, to a nine stone
chapel, where in later years she met her
full-grown boys every Sunday, conduct,
ing the services and talking to them as a
mother would to her sons on all their
practical duties. In addition she has a
largo hall up-town near her own residence
where they meet one evening in tho week
lor roiisie and conversation. Many see
ing her good work have contributed go, -
erously to forward her plans. The hoys
have sets of musical instruments and
well-trained bauds of their own. 'I hoy
have their bouts, too, anil during the su.ti
mer enjoy in turn an evening row on
their beautiful lake. They have their m*.
cret sociotv and monthly paper, both cull
ed the “Guard of Honor,” designed for
mutual aid, and to help younger boys ju- 1
starting in tho thorny paths tliroiuh
which they have traveled.
Over throe thousand have already pass
ed to manhood under these Influences,
and of these over three-fourths have ri •
inained true to their pledges, and many
are tilling responsible positions in the
world of wor.
In an inle view with M ss Mulligan, a
lew years ago, she said: “What Is needed
to complete my experiment is large build
ings, wnore my boys can find lodgings
aud rational amusements, removed from
the demnra'lzing Influences ol those parts
ola oitv where tho poor are compelled
lo dwell. Could I have Ohaßgtd ihcr
environments,” said sue, “1 could have
saved ten thousand as easily as i have
three.”
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1886.
ONE CENT A MONTH.
John Smith's M uni ficent Salary for Three
Years.
From the Sun Francieco Alta .
At the Pacific Club a lew evenings ago
the talk turned on the curiosities of math
ematics, and one ot the group said:
“Year before last a bright-looking
young man entered our counting-room
in response to an advertisement for an as
sistant shipping clerk. He told the usual
tale of how he desired a position more
than wages for the time being, and was
willing to accept a nominal salary to
start in on. The old man was feeling in
particularly good humor that after
noou, and said pleasantly to tho new
comer:
“Weil sir, what would you consider a
nominal salary? What would you be
wtllingto accept;) n beginning?”
The young man picked at the lining of
his hat with his fingers, and deferentially
replied.
“I want to show you, sir, that l mean
business, and I will work for one cent
the remainder of this month, providing
jou think it would not bo too much to
double my salary each month tuereaf
ter.”
“That’s a novel proposition, surely,”
said the old man, with a smile “Do you
snow what you’re talking about, my dear
boy ?”
“Well, sir, my principal aim is to learn
the business,” responded the young fel
low, “and J would be almost willing to
work for nothing, but I’d like to feel and
be aide to sav that I was earning some
thing, you know.”
“I’ll take you,” remarked the old man,
decisively. “One cent, two cents, four
cents, eight, sixteen,” he enumerated.
“You won’t get much lor awhile,” he add
ed.
He took him up to tiie cashier.
“ This is John Smith,” he said. “He will
go to work as assistant shipping clerk to
morrow. His salary will be one cent this
month. Double it every month lroru now
on.”
“In consideration ol my working for
this small salary, I might ask you to as
sure me a position for a definite period?”
inquired John Smith.
“\Ve don’t usually do t hat,” replied the
Governor, “but we can’t lose much on
you, anyhow, i guess, and you look like
au honest follow. How long doyou want
employment?”
“ I’hree years, sir, if agreeable to you.”
Well, by Jove, the old man agreed, and
young Mr. Smith, on pretense of wanting
some evidence of the stability of bis place,
got fbe Governor to write out and sign a
paper that he had been guaranteed a posi
tion in the house for three years on the
terms i have stated.
He worked along for six months with
out drawing a cent. 11 e said he would
draw all his earnings at Christmas. The
cashier one day thought he’d figure up
how much would be coming to the young
man. He grew so interested in the pro
ject that he Kent multiplying for the three
tears. The result almost staggered him.
Tins is the column of figures he took to
the old man:
First month, .01; second, .02; third, .04;
fourth. .08; fifth, .16; sixth, .32; seventh,
.61; eighth, $128; ninth, $266; tenth,
$6 12; eleventh, $lO 24; twelfth, S2O 48;

thirty-sixth, $275,776,626 8s ; total salary
tor three yearssss2 554,253 65.
The Governor nearly Hunted when he
understood how, even if he were twice as
rich as Vanderbilt, he would be ruined in
paying John Smith’s salary. He con
cluded to discharge the modest young
man at once. Smith had figured up how
much would be due him. and reminded
'h“ old man of his written agreement.'
Bather than take chances In courts and
let everybody know how he had been
duped, the Governor paid Smith $5,000
and bade him good-bye. I’ve beard be
tried the same dodge in Chicago after
leaving here.
