THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECOEDER: THURSDAY, JULx 2, lbt)l.
A Comedy of Errors.
Attorney C. C. Babcock is a very hon
est looking young gentleman, and yet h«
was twice taken for a thief and once for
% a dead beat.
Mr. Babcock went into a restaurant on
Third street and deposited his umbrella
in the rack and hung his black Derby
hat on a nickel plated hat hook. When
the disciplo of Blaclcstone had finished
his repast he walked over to the wall and
took what he supposed was his hat, put
it on and started toward the counter to
pay for his breakfast.
An athletic looking gentleman, who
was eating his morning repast and watch
ing his portable property,, roared out:
“Come back here, sir, and leave my
hat.”
All the ladies and gentlemen in the
restaurant watched Mr. Balxjoclc as he
replaced the hat and took his own.
The young lawyer was as mad as a hor
net and somewhat confused at the con
tretemps. Then ho walked over to the
umbrella rack and picked up an urn
brella. The observant gentleman whoso
hat Mr. Babcock had taken noticed that
it was his umbrella that was being carried
off, and he shouted in stentorian tones:
**Drop that umbrella or I’JJ band you
over to the police.”
Mr. Babcock saw that he had made a
second mistake, and soon fished his own
rain shedder from among the many
others that were in the rack.
Then he left the restaurant, and he
was called back by the cashier, who
came to the door and excitedly said:
“Hadn’t you better come back oud
pay for your breakfast? You will at least
avoid being handed over to the police.”
As ho still had his check for a fifty
cent breakfast in his hand, Mr. Bab
cock walked back and paid bis bill, with
the eyes of every lady and gentleman
the place lixed suspiciously upon him.
One elderly lady audibly remarked:
“He don’t look like a thief, but you can’t
tell by looks nowadays what a person is,
as good clothes don’t cost much.”—Seat
tle Press.
Willi the Tongs.
A great deal of laughter has l*»en ex-
pended on womankind for taking the
broom as a weapon In “shooing” an
enemy, but, after all, why should not
one use the implement to which she is
most accustomed? Great execution is
possiblo with the weapon of our choice,
as an English lady, living In Canada, has
proved.
She was one day greatly interested in
putting out the family washing to dry.
Sheets and tablecloths w ere on the line,
which, to her horror, suddenly fell,
dropping her spotless clothes in the dirt
A large buck, caught by the antlers,
was the causo of the trouble. There was
not a man within flvo miles—they had
all gone to a neighbor’s for tho day. The
deer plunged about, and the lady scream
ed. Something had to be done, and done
at once. Thero was a fine gun in the
house, loaded, hut the lady would not ap
proach it, as firearms w*ere her e*]>ecial
dread.
Among her many possessions she had
a large pair of tongs. She thoroughly
understood this firearm, and with all her
housewifely instinctsoutraged, she seized
them and began tiie attack.
Within five minutes tho buck's skull
was pounded to a jelly, and then the vic
tor, her clothing slightly torn, sat down
and indulged in a good cry.—Forest and
Stream.
*- Trout and Superstition.
The trout is derived from a word mean
ing to eat, just as salmon from one mean
ing to leap. The former fish has acquired
some celebrity in folk medicine. Tiius it
is a superstition of Shropshire that a pie
dish full of elder should bo taken down
to a river and a good sized trout caught
and drowned in tho cider, would a per
son recover from the whooping cough.
Trout and cider wore then to be carefully
carried bock to the house, and tho sick
person must cat the trout afror it lias
been fried and drink tho cider. In North
umberland for the same ailment a trout’s
head is put into the mouth of the suf
ferer, and, as it is said, the trout is left
to breathe in the patient’s mouth. Still
more curiously, Mr. Henderson relates
that a friend, when fishing in Cleveland,
was asked by a peasant to give him a
“wfck” (live) trout to lay on the stomach
of one of his children who was much
troubled with worms, a trout so applied
being a certain cure for the complaint.—

Nine Tailor. Malt, a .Man.
Everybody lias heard of the saying
that it takes nine tailors to make a man,
and the general supposition la that it re
flects upon tailors in some indefinite man
ner, and no one know, whero the saying
originated. Now, the truth in that the
laying is misquoted, and the proper word
ii toilers, or tellers, not tailors, aa often
written, and its origin can bo traced
back several centuries.
It was one of the customs when a per
son died in the parish to toll the church
bell once forevery year of the deceased's
life. But nobody from this could tell
the sex of the departed, ao the sexton,
to gratify public curiosity, after ringing
in tiie usual way the number of years,
would give eight quick strokes If the de
ceased was a woman and nine if it was a
man. This being rung at tiie end of tiie
strokes for the years were called toilers,
and thus nine toilers made a man.—

How, do you think, he

He buys those that are
cheapest; he gets the regular
price for them; and the faster
they break themore he sells.
That’s how he reasons.
Tell him you want Mac

“ pearl glass," tough glass,
transparent, clear not foggy,
fine, of right shape and
uniform. Tell him you’ll
pay him a nickel more
a piece, and that will cover
his extra costs twice over.
Tell him you don’t propose
to break any more. Try
your hand at ruling. : *•
