Three or four men went to work and
moved an enormous pile of lumber, but
did not find the rat.
“The owner of that lumber will be

A Worthless Animal.
Farmer Diggins had a horse to sell, and
at the market he commenced to dilate on
the animal’s good qualities. him?”
“ How much will you give for
shouted Diggins.
“Forty dollars,” yelled a voice.
(< i Twon’t do,” said Diggins.
“Ten dollars,” shouted a wall-eyed
man.
* ‘ He’s worthless, ” cried another.
“Who said he was a worthless ani¬

you lop-eared rail-chopper.”
“I didn’t say any such thing, . you

Cure for Infantile Bawling*.
Two Dallas iadies were overheard
talking over the fence as follows:
& 4 What is the matter with your baby?
I don’t hear it cry any more.”
“I have cured it of bawling.”
‘ ‘Do you give it soothing syrup with
opium in it?”
“No, I don’t give it any medicine at
all. I have adopted an entirely new
plan. “What is it?”
“When it begins to cry I smear the
tips of its little fingers with molasses,
and give it a few feathers to hold in
one hand. Its attention becomes aroused
and it picks off the feathers with the
other hand. The feathers stick to the
other hand, of course, and the little
darling picks them off again. The little
angel’s with mind the is feathers thus so completely ab¬
sorbed that . it forgets
to cry .”—Texas Siftings.
Marrying: a Chemist*

Advice to a Would-be Dramatist.
“Now listen to me,” said Josephus to
p tarximander , “the first thing you want
to do when you start a melo-drama is to

to be as rich as Henry Hilton and as proud

g h e mus fc have a poor but apparently dis
honpst lover, and a stuck-up old pa, who
doesn’t go much on the aforesaid lover.
The lover oug ht to be a horse-car in
S p CC tor or an elevator-boy—something
that will make him great intellectually
and v j ce vcrsa financially. His appar
en ^. dishonesty arises from the frequent
disappearance of lead pipe from the
building in which he works just about
the timo he goeg hom e. The villain,
w ho has an oltice in the same building,
gets on to this, and tells the gyurl’s
father that Robert, the young man, is
plotting to become a plumber and ruin
him. The old man naturally trembles
} n hig boots, and goes in with the vil
lain to put up a job on the young man.
The villain then steals a little lead pipe
himself, and going by night to the young
man’s room, on the East river shore at
WilliamsbuY]^— ftifffre’s a splendid moon¬
light view of the city for you—sews the
pipe up in the leg of the young man’s
dress trousers. Then with a detective
he lies in wait for the young man, and
the two pounce upon him just as he is
struggling to get his feet through the
leg of the trousers. The accusation is
made, and the young man, feeling the
lead in his trousers, says:
“‘Great Heavens! It is fate!’
“Then they led him away to his dun

him on the island. The gyurl, under

‘Jerusba, you do not—can not be
h eve me guilty of this foul crime?’
Robert, I love you, and I be¬
lieve you are guiltless.’ (Throws her¬
self upon his bosam.)

minions of the law. That night Rob¬

Canadian naturalized bank cashier, who
confides to him the fact that he—the
cashier—was the partner of the polished
villain in the robbery of the bank in
New York where they both worked.
Robert buys his discharge and hastens
back to New York, arriving just villainy in time
to hurl the proof of the villain’s
into his face at the foot of the altar, and
prevent his mnrriage with finding the gyurl. that
