WINNING AN AUTOGRAPH.
Dr. W. Cl. Grace, the most famous
cricket in England, probably lias
given It’s- autograph as often as any
other celebrity. At a match not long
ago he wrote his name in the note
book of a little girl. A couple of
weeks later, much to his surprise,
the same little lady shyly sidled up
to him with the necessary docu
ments and the request for his auto
graph. “But I gave it you only a
few days ago,” laughingly said the
veteran. “Oh,” came the answer,
“I changed that one for two bish
ops.” Pr. Grace laughed heartily
as he replied. “Well, my dear, if a
cricketer is worth two bishops I
don’t believe I ought to give you
another autograph, but your naiv
ette is so delicious I suppose I must,
so there you arc.”

How A. Riis Was Introduced
an Auo'icr.ce.
Once in a Massachusetts town .V.:-
coh A. Riis was asked by a gaunt, fu
nereal sort of chap what lie should
say by way of introducing him to the
assemblage. “Oh," replied Air. liiis
in a spirit of levity, “say anything

you like. Say lam the most distin
guished man in the country. They
generally do.”
Whereupon his serious minded
friend marched upon the stage and
calmly announced that he did not
know this man Riis, whom he was
charged to introduce, and had never
heard of him.
“He tells me,” he went on, with
never a wink, “that he is the most
distinguished citizen 411 the country.
You can judge for yourselves when
you have heard him.” —Philadelphia
Ledger.
A Perfectly Happy Man.
The laic John flay was fond of
telling a story of a king who once
upon a time fell into a state of deep
melancholy. Court physicians could
do nothing for him and were in de
spair when a certain very wise man
bethought himself of the well known
cure of sleeping in the shirt of a
perfectly happy man overnight. So
courtiers were dispatched every
where in search of the shirt of a per
fectly happy man. < >ne by one they
returned from their fruitless search
throughout the vast kingdom. At
last, only one courtier remained out,
and lie, too, began to despair of find
ing the shirt of a perfectly happy 1
man. It was just about twilight
and he was riding over a village
green when he was attracted by the
careless laughter of a disreputable
beggar who was stretched full length
upon the sward.
“Are you a perfectly happy man?”
demanded the courtier, reining in
his horse.
“You bet!” said the beggar.
“A thousand crowns for the loan
of your shirt!”
“But I ain’t got none,” replied the
beggar.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Th« Child’s Hair.
Don’t curl or plait a child’s hair
tightly if you want it to grow long
and thick. Many a scanty crop of
tresses in later life is due to strain
ing the hair while the child is grow
ing.

A brisk little froggy one day
Went forth in the weeds for a play.
A rain cloud o'erhead
Thundered loudly
And said,
"I’m going to pour rain right away."
A very nice toadstool prrew nijclt.
To its shelter the froggy did hie.
“You see. I’m a feller
With a new
T’mbreller,
So I don't mind your rain. I.et’er fly!”
The Dwarf Tree.
Two travelers are said to have
seen on the mountains near Cape
Horn a tree which was only one or
two inches high, yet had brandies
spreading out four or live feet along
the ground.
Two little girls, aged five and six,
were playing together on the beach.
“And your papa,” queried one,
“what does he do?”
“Oh, whatever mamma says,” an
swered the other.

A new process in the preservation
of food products in transit has been
invented by Charles BJagburn of
Antioch, Cal. Use is made of tho
vacuum, and by it fruits can be kept
for three months without decay, ac
cording to the Indianapolis News;
besides the fruit does not ripen fur
ther in the vacuum. A refrigera
tor car costs $750 for a transconti
nental trip. In the new way tho f
transportation would cost S2OO. '
