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.

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.

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.

She came, she said, to propose to h,m a lucrative business tran^ne tiou.
