Too MuehJFor Batchy.
Last Monday morning a German
who keeps a lager beer saloon on¬
ly a few squares from tho bridge
entrance, find got things opened
for tho day’s business when a man
came in and said :
“Hello Dutchy, s’poso we’ll have
a March blizzard this year?
“Yah. dot might po so,” replied
batchy;
Ten minutes later anothtif man
dropped in to get a glass of beer.
“Think we’ll have a Match bliz
zard this spring. D itchy ? ho asked.
"Mebby we might haf dot plizs
zard —I don t know lor snro,”
swered the honest German, ae he
riused out the glass.
Pretty soon two men came in .
an I after talking about tho weath
or a few minutes one of them said :
"I'm looking for another March
blizzard—what do you think about
it Dutchy ?
“Yah, I dink we haf him maype,
I doan know,” he admitted.
A little after a policeman drop¬
ped in to get a warm#
They say you are a weather
prophot, Dutchy—are wc going to
have another March blizzard this
year?” { ^
“l doan know r.oddinga ’bout
doze March blizzards—but we
might haf him again.
An agent for drinking a brewery came in
next and after two glass¬
es of beer remarked :
Dutchy, March do you look for anoth¬
er blizzard this year?
‘ I doan look for nodd;ngs-l jess

Then a truck driver citrae in af¬
ter a cigar.
“Dutchy,” ho said, “aro you look

The next wa8 a Rlrang^r who

A BOOTBLACK’S CRITICISM,
Tom Nicholl, the artist, tells the
following story on himself, It which
is a pretty good one. illustrates
the well-known fdtft that tho best
of us can learn something from
f 00 ls and children. The Story is
as follows: On one odcasittn ho bad
made a large crayon picture of a
little child seated in a cart to which
was hitchod a large Newfoundland
dog. It was a fine piece of work.
and for some two weeks hung in a
public show window, whero It rtt
tractcd much attention, and many
wcro the compliments showered
upon tho artist for his skill.
Somo time after the picturo had
been taken down Mr. Nicholl was
sealed in bis studio when thero
came a timid rap at tho door. He
called out to the caller to come in,
and there entered a litllo street ur
chin, who had often given the ar
list a shine, and *ho on thestrenglh
of such acquaintance used frequent
ly to pay him a visit.
“Well, Tod,” said Nicholl, "what
can 1 do for jou today? ’
The little Arab hesitated ar mo
meet, and then, in a tone that
plainly indicated the intensity ol
his desire, he said:
“Well, I thought I’d liko tor see
tho pictcr yer mado o’ that boy an’
the dog in a wagon,”
"All right,” replied tho artist,
and crossing the room to where tho
pieluro stood, faced to the wall, be
picked it up and placed it on au
easel.
The boy stood and looked at it,
with evident delight and pleasure
depicted however, on his face. Suddenly,
ho turned, and with con
siderablo embarrassment,as though
he knew ho was presuming, hb
said: "Mr. Nieholl, it’s or dandy,
but you’ve made a mistake in it.”
“What!” ejacu ated the artist. “A
mistake} where?
is Why,” said tho boy, a little
triumphantantly, “you’ve forgot to
put in any ‘bolster on the front ax
lel reo ‘’
N :choIl ; stopped forward, looked
at tho picture a moment, and sure
enough the boy was right. The
front end of tho wagon bed was
rcsltng on nothing. Ilo quickly
seized crayon, put in the missing
piece by merely making a deep
shadow where ho hadleft a high
light, and the dofect was remedied
The urchin watched the process
of correction, and then, after a
critical and satisfied look at the
pictUfCj and remarking, “That's
bully,” h» siring his kit over hi*
shoulder And went out.
“Tho strangest thing, though,*’
said Mr. Nicholl, ir. telling fhe sto¬
ry, “is how that picturo should
have hung on exhibition for two
weeks, where it was admired and
criticised by hundreds, and none
of whom saw the blunder I had
made, and that bootblack should
discover it the minulo he saw it.
The point was, tho boy was posted
on all the points about a dog and
wagon. It taught me a lesson 1
have never forgotton—that almost
any person can give you sugges¬
tions about something that are
worth having.”—Arkansaw Trav¬
eler.

8e rved club man, who prides him

upon as a
made great efforts to fornCan ac
quaintance with a handsome lady
in a Madison avenue car tho other
day. The lady held upon her lap
a very pretty little girl, and it was
through professed admiration for
the child and advances to her that
the old beau sought to open a con¬
versation with tho lady. He gave
his gold-headed cane to the little
one to play with, and asked, “Do
you like it pretty ?'*
The child was silent for a little,
and then said, with critical giavity:
grandpa's; “Mamma, he has a wig just liko
but is uglier than grand¬
pa.” The club reached the end of
man
his iourncy right there—N. Y. Sun.

William B. Allison.
a generation mro Senator Will
jam B. Allison was a humble citi
zon of Dubuque Iowa and a law
V er with a limited practice who’knew He
was popular with those
him for the reason that ho was aU
ways suave and polite in his inter
course. lie was a fine-looking man
with a pleasant smile a high fores
head and an air of icnose and db*
nity. Ho was a npublican which
f ac t added to tho influence of the
i personal qualities lust summarized
g avo him a great popularity and
resulted in his olociion to congress.
From that date to the present
day Mr. Allison’s course has been
steadily upward. After several
terms as representative he was
elected to the United States admiring Senate,
Eight years ago hts
friends whispered it about that he
was a suitable candidate for the
presidential office. Four years ago
tho whisper grew into talk, and lust
year the same sentiments were voic
0 d with yells. What will bo the
nature of the demand four years
hence can not will'bo bo'’■ucssed at • at the
very least it thut ho shall
bo nominated for President by ac
clamation.
A stranger watching the growth
of this statesman, and hearing the
demands that he shall be mado one
0 f the ministers of tho executive
department, will concludo that Mr.
Allison is a great man, one who has
shown a high order of ability as a
statesman, one w’ho has performed
distinguished service for his coun
try. Such a ono will conclude that
ho must be a great orator, a skilled
politic an, a public character pos
sessed ot transccndant abilities.
As a matter of fact Mr. Allison
has nono of these qualities. lie
has nevci mado a great speech, nor
even a fairly good one. He has
never given utterance to a positive
opinion of any value. It is not
w | iat h e does say that makes him
great, but what he doesn’t say. He
listens with effect to what is said
to him, smiles, appears delighted,
convinced, willing, and sends away
the talker with tho conviction
the senator agrees with all ho has
3a jd ant j promises to give him all
he has asked for.
His main reliance is his demenn
or. Even in playing poker his
demeanor is potent. An opponent
holding, bay three aces, is “raised”
by the senator 850, who has drawn
one card.- lie gazes earnestly at
the senatorial countenance, and see¬
ing only a smiling expression and
kind, benevolent eyes, he “calls”
and is confronted with a “flush.”
The senator, liko Jeshurun, “has
waxed fat, ’ but unlike Jeshurun,
he has not “kicked.” Ilis savings
from his salary afford'him a for¬
tune. He is an example of the
“sagnichts” element, and demon¬
strates that great success can bo se¬
cured bj T some by what they don’t
do. Chicago Herald,
An Irish Giant.
In the year 1761 two babes, des¬
tined to become known throughout
the civilized world on account of
their ponderous build, wero born
in Ireland. It is surely rather a
curious coincidence that gives the
woild two giants from one small is¬
land during the same year. Cotter,
tlio first of these exaggerated Irish¬
men," tamo ot a family who wero
poor, and the stripling at tho ago
of eighteen Set out for London in
search of a fortune. Even at that
age his bodily proportions pointed
unerringly toward “coming great
ness.” Ilo soon engaged to a show
man for exhibition. His contract
being for three j'ears at £50 per
asuura, asking somo extra favors
which the manager was disinclined
to grant, Cottar forthwith refused
to show himself to the eager cock
neys.
Starting out i n his own behalf
he realized £30 before the end of
j the third day of exhibition. His
popularity with the show going
people from ibis time forward was
assu ed. At tho age of 22 lie
changed his name from Cotter to
O Brien to add weight to the
tion set forth on the glaring hand
bills that he was “a lineal descend
ant ot the renowned King Pjrirm
Borocbme, and in person exhibits
the characteristic^ of that great
, and grand potentate.” At the age
j of ?5 Cotter was 8*feet 8 inches high,
and although lie lived to be over
40 his height never exceeded the
figures given. He died at Cliffton,

A trap for Americans.
An American gentleman, who fori
many years past has been o&tab
lished in busino<s in Pari«, recoivod
one dressed day a call from a handsomely
fomalo m whom ho recogA
nized a notorious Amorican mem¬
ber oftho domi-monde of Paris.
She came, she said, to propose to
h,m a lucrative business tran^ne
tiou. She had in her possession
list of sundry high-born arid titled
gentlemen who wished to tnarrv
rich Amorican girls, and mIio dis
played such a list inscribed with
some of the proudest names of thd
French aristocracy. If my coun
iryinan would inform her of the ar
rivui in Palis df any wealthy
American ladies, and oftho pnw
burned amoiidt of thoG fortunes,
sho would, 9 on tho accoliijdishmenti
ut a marriage between any ono of
theso and ono of her clients, rtfc
onco pay over to him half other*
stipulated percentage on tho dow¬
ry, which in her caso was to
amount^© 10 per cent. It is need¬
less to say that the woman’s offer
WlH refused. But the very fact of
its being mado showed how wide¬
spread is tho system of tho matri¬
monial agency in Paris, and how
extensive and elaborate must bo its
arrangements mation. tor obtaining infor*
