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.

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 Ictiofana Thompson!, Lake or Thomp son's carp. We are told Its flesh is not equaled in flavor by any other fish la Champlain.—Burlington Free -Lake 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. Fatal Bravery. In the sanguinary wart of the Turks 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 mtntinoplc. believing hie recovery impossible and that they oould never carry him there alive.—AU the Year Envelop**!
