THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, JULI 16,1891.
AWAY UP.
A Atnwfar Whoe* Till* rrodueed Sur-
prlia fa TaanroM.
A dignified looking stranger entered
the ticket offioe of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad yes
terday, and stated that he wished to
purchase tickets for himself and family
to Texas, and also wanted to se
cure rates for the transportation of a
carload of household furniture. Col.
Bony Wilson waited on the gentleman,
and ascertained that his name was Mar
tin. Ho negotiated a trade with him
for the tickets, and referred him to the
freight office on Monroe Btreet for infor
mation about freight rates.
As the stranger displayed a goodly
role of boodle it was incumbent on Col.
Wilson to treat him with the considera
tion due his importance, and so lie told
fiiUy to take the colonel over and intro
duce him to Mr. Bartley, and he took
care to lay the accent on the colonel.
Billy got the stranger safely over to
the freight office, and in his politest
manner presented him to Will Bartley
as follows: "Mr. Bartley, allow mo to
introduce to you Col. Martin.”
The stranger drew himself up haught
ily, and striking an attitude, with bis
right hand over his left breast pocket,
sold: “I am no colonel, young man; I
am something higher than that.”
"Kxcuse me;' I meant to say briga
dier,” apologized Billy.
"I have a higher title than that,” said
the great man.
Billy was equal to the occasion, and
tame again with "I really meant to say
najor general, you know.”
He was knocked out again, however,
>y the supposed officer remarking with
telghtsned dignity, which, however,
vas softened by a quiet, amused smile;
‘You have not got up high enough yet”
“You must be the oommander-in-chlef
jf the army,” suggested Billy in a doubt
ful sort of tone, but the stranger par
alyzed him by the announcement that
he held a still higher title
Billy was stumped. Hethoughtthedis-
thigulshed visitor was no other than the
president travelling In cog., but he dis
missed that idea, and then his curiosity
got the better of his reverence, and he
blurted out: “Well, who are you, any
way!”
The stranger softly replied: "I am a
minister of the gospel, sir,” and Billy
fainted dead away, while Will Bartley
made a half rate for the divine on ac
count of his high title.—Memphis Ava
lanche.
A TOUCH OF NATURE.
A little mskl upon my knee
Sighs wearily, sighs wearily;
"I'm tired out at dresrin* dolls
And having stork* mad. ” says shot
-There Is a book. It I oonld sea
I should be happy, pufllddyl

‘But that you cannot have,' say* she!"
“But here's your *Old Mao of the Sea.'
And ‘Jack tbs Oiant'l” (Lovingly
I tried tits llttts maid to aoflfhe)
"The Interestin’ cos," ssys she.
•‘Is that high up ooel—«*:ms to me
The lings you want Just bos to ho
Someftog you hasn't got: and that's
The Interestin’ cue!" says she
—Annie F. Burnham In Su Klrtmbu
Subjugated.
The word subjugated is of Lntin origin
—sub jugum, under the yoke Although
oftencst used in a figurative sense, il
might have been applied in all literal
ness to a certain Maine boy, whose singu
lar experiment with a calf, as described
by The Lewiston Journal, may recall to
our readers the recently published story
of “Bub and Broad.”
This farmer lad had always taken a
special interest in oxen, and delighted to
brandish the good stick over his father's
good natured pair. His great ambition
was to own for himself a pair of steers.
Last summer he became the proud pos
sessor of half a pair; in other words, his
father gave him a young calf. Of courso
the steer could not he yoked up by itself.
What did the youthful Cincinnatus do.
therefore, but placo one end of the yoke
round his own neck and fasten it there
The result may he imagined. The
other half of the team started, and pretty
soon a passing neighbor heard a shrill
outcry;
‘‘Stop us, Mr. Smith, stop us! Wo're
running away!” *
The neighbor came to the rescue, and
was attempting to nnyoke the boy. when
he called out:
“ T'other one, Mr. Smith, t'other onel
I’ll standi”—Youth’s Companion.
Debt of Honor.
England, which is rich in gentlemen,
furnished, In the beginning of the pres
ent century, a good model of that genius
which the world loves In Charles James
Fox, who added to his great abilities the
most social disposition and real love of
men. A characteristic anecdote Is re
lated of the celebrated orator and etatee-
msnt
A tradesman who had long dunned
Mr, Fox for a note of three hundred
guineas found him one day counting
gold, and demanded paymentof his long
due note.
“I cannot pay you now," said Fox. "I
owe this money to Sheridan; it is a debt
of honor. If an accident should happen
to me he has nothing to show to main-
tain his claim,”
“Then,” said the creditor, “I chango
my debt into a debt of honor.” and tore
the note in pieces.
Fox thanked the man for his confi
dence, and paid him, saying: “His dobt
was of older standing, and Sheridan
must wait.”
Fox was the lover of liberty, friend of
the Hindoo, friend of the African slave;
he possessed a great personal popularity,
and Napoleon said of him, on the occa
sion of his visit to Peril in 1803: “Mr.
Fox will always hold tho first place in un
assembly at the Tullerics." — Youth's
Companion.
nit Prayer Answered.
A certain Chicago coal man enjoys
nothing more than ha does a romp with
his two pretty boys After supper ev
ery night be has great fun with them.
One evening last week Ids wife was
taken alok, and he cut short the usual
romp, much to tho disappointment of
the boys, who bad boon looking forward
all day to his homecoming. He told
them it was time for them to go to bed,
and, tike obedient boys, they walked off
without a word of remonstrance. Silent
ly they disrobed and prepared to retire.
The larger boy said his prayer and found
his way between the sheets. Then the
little fellow knelt down by the bedside,
uttered his prayer and added: “Please,
Cod, make papa funny eomo more.” And
the father, who had been waiting just
outslue the door to see that they retired
all right, overheard the petition and
went in and gave his two boys auotber
great romp. The little fellow then re
tired in the firm belief that his prayer
had been answered.—Chicago Herald.
A Coot's Worth.
I was walking by the Hotel Bucking
ham the other evening (say* a writer in
New York Truth) when my ear was peno-
tre‘ed by a hoarse shriek, “Extra! extra!
full i.coount of the fire down town—ex
tent"
“Let me see, boy, if you're telling the
truth,” add a passer by.
The lad held up his paper to verify his
Statement, and showed the headline,
"(230,000 Blare!"
“Oh," said the inquirer, “two hundred
and fifty thousand? Is that all? Well, 1
guess I don’t wont the paper.”
“Ab, what's de matter wid you,” an
swered the newsboy; “do yer want ter
bum up de dty o’ New York for a cent?"
Importing Carp Necessary.
A large carp Is found in Lake Cham
plain, which, with proper care In regard
toils propagation, would be a boon to
our people as a food fish. It is one of
the most bandsomo fishes in our waters,
and as a food fish deserves to be looked
after. It is known to ichthyologists so

son's carp. We are told Its flesh is not
equaled in flavor by any other fish la

An Aggravation.
Charles B. Thome, tho elder, was al
ways a great traveler, and in their early
days his three boys traveled with him.
Tho family went all over tho world.
Once they were coming to America from
China on a Pacific Mail steamer, and the
ice on board ship practically gave out
What could bo saved was carefully put
aside for the sick people aboard and the
well passengers were compelled to drink
the brackish, warm water on hand. Any
one of them would have given $10 for a
swig of cold water. Ono night when the
cabin was full Charlio Thorne left his
stateroom with a covered tin pail. Pret
ty soon he walked back through tho
cabin. He had filled his pail with the
warm water, put a tumbler inside and
covered it up. The rattling of the tum
bler suggested ico, and the parched
tongues of the passengers hung out fur
ther than ever at the sound. “Where
did you get the ice?” asked a particularly
miserable party. “It's for a sick friend
of mine,” he said, and he disappeared in
his stateroom. During tho evening he
modo four of tbeso trips through the
crowded cabin, and when he finally quit
the deception he had made at least twen
ty men willing to commit murder for a
gloss of ico water.—Chicago Herald.
Whmt It Takes to Hake a Boy,
Davo Evans has a 4-year-old boy who
is an inveterate gum cbewer. The boy's
name is John, and ho thinks it Is a great
hardship to put aside his gum when he
goes to bed at night Ho la inclined
very much to rebel against such disci
pline. A few Sundays ago ho went to
tho cemetery with his parents. Passing
a posture along tho track, little John saw
a cow lying down and chewing her cud.
Ho at once exhibited wild alarm and ex
citedly exclaimed! “Oh, ma, look there'.
That cow has gone to bed chewing her
gum, and you won’t let tittle John do
that” One evening John’s elder brother
and lister were discussing anatomy and
looking over a'physiological work. John
was particularly interested in tho pict
ures of sections of the human being.
After they had got through he took the
book, and, pointing to the lungs, heart,
liver, an arm, a leg and other dissevered
members of the human frame, he in
quired! "Does it take all thcee to make
a boyT—Chicago Herald.
Bsasnl of Motes.
In a recent number of The Practitioner,
Dr. Jamison writes on tho uso of sodium
othy late in removing hairy moles on the
face. He operated in this wayt The
hairs were cutoff as closely os possibla
with a very fine pair of scissors, and the
mole was then painted over with sodium
ethylate, a flno glass rod being used.
When the mole had a varnished look the
ethylate was gently rubbed in with the
glass rod, to make it pcnctrato more
deeply into the hair follicles. The mole
had quite a block look when the opera
tion was over, A hard crust formed
over it, which was nearly three weeks in
becoming detached. When it come off
the hairs were seen to bo destroyed, and
the surface of tho molo had a smooth,
somewhat cicatrical appearance, of a
much lighter color than before; and this
favorable condition continued until the
mark was scarcely noticeable.—Herald
of Health.

In Hungary, Count Ludovic Lodrom, on
the evo of a battle, harangued his sol
diers in tho true martial strain. “That
is all very well,” said a German veteran,
out in front of the ranks “That
la all vesy well for you who are mounted
on a swift bone, and ore already think
ing of saving yourself. But for us”—
m Ludovic immediately dls-
drow his sword and ham
stringed the animaL Then he exclaimed:
“Today, then, comrades, you shall see
me ss captain and soldier fighting on
foot by your Mde and on the same terms.”
He wss so severely wounded in the fight
that the Turks, who took him prisoner,
him to death and sent his head to

impossible and that they oould never
carry him there alive.—AU the Year
