- ■■ - ' S * 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.— Gentleman’s Magazine.

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.— Golden Days. Understood ill. Casa.

Who rules in this town ? \ Depends on question up. The lamp-chimney ques tion—what sort do you break ? Whatever sort your deal er deals in. How, do you think, he selects his chimneys ? 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 beth’s “ pearl top ” or “ 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. : *• nttiborg. CIO.
