A Life Sentence for Nothin®.
“The euseof James Gruy is a strange
one, but I have heard of others equally
remarkable,’' says 11. A. Manners.
“Many years ago in an eastern town
there liyed two men who were very in
timate friends. One day one of them
disappeared, and a few tyesjps later a
badly decomposed body was found
and identified as that of the missing
man.
“There was no clew to the murderer,
but after a few days the friend came
forward and confessed that he had
committed the crime. He was tried
2nd sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. Twenty years later the man who
was supposed to have been murdered,
and who had been in California all
this time, returned to his old home and
inquired for his former companion. He
was told that ho was in the peniten
tiary for the murder of his friend. The
prisoner was soon after liberated, and,
in explanation of his confession, stated
that ho had brooded over the disap
pearance of his companion until lie

Dr. Tutmajfr'i Flr»t Cigar.
The time came In my boyhood when
I thought I could *ll >ko. My manly
Instincts demanded it. I know that
our people were opposed to the Vir
ginia weed, and ministers who visited
ns whiffed their pipes on tho back
stoop. I became possessed of three
cents and invested in a cigar.
I was completely satisfied with my
self and the world wh, n, patting it to
my lips in a quiet sp.t, I applied a
lighted lueifer to it It did not bum
well somehow, and required hard puff
ing to keep it alight All my powers of
suction were necessary, but Omnia vin
cit labor 1 heard my elder brothers say
in their Latin lessons, and I pulled
away.
When 1 passed along the village
street the pavements stemed to rook
and I felt I was on tide wrong side.
Then I crossed over r,n<ij#ijJ, fait art the
came along and asked me why
I looked so pale. I said I was not look
tig pale, but that he looked pale.
Then 1 sat down under tho bridge and
began to think of the uncertainty of
life. I had smoked only one-fourth of
the cigar and could smoke no more,
though I tried to have the valuo of my
throe cents.
I got homo late, and father and mo
ther were alarmed at my appearance.
I did not tell them of the cigar, as 1
did not want them to think their son
was a reprobate, but said 1 felt miser
able at the pit of my stomach. Then j
I wgj put to bed, mustard plasters ,
were applied, and after three or four
hours 1 forgot my sickness in sleep. - j

Tip* from tho Razor.
It has come to such a pass thut a
a man of moderate incomo reluctantly
resigns himself to the expensive luxury
of a shave in a barber shop. The
growth of the pernicious feeing system
makes tho barber shop an unhappy
stopping place for a modest man \y{Ki
thinks that twenty-five cents is a
sufficient expenditure. Tho moment
one enters the shop insuperable hints
remind him that he is not expected to
get out without feeing somebody.
The brush boy makes a grab for his
hat and insists upon hanging it upon a
peg. The barber spends Inllfiite pains
upon tho unhappy subject. He asks
hi tones of tender Interest whether the
razor is harsh, whether tho hair should
| be parted one-tenth of an inch higher
or lower, and a hundred other ques
tions designed to show what an interest
he takes hi his customer. Then he
presses with a clinging pressure the
cheek Into the hand of tho miserable
victim, and looks dispiritedly at bis
band if a coin Is not loft b^hh’d.
Before half out of tho chair t!> vie
tlm is attacked savagely by a brush in
tho hands of the shop boy, and when
the miserable man has paid fur tiis
shave ho finds the buy blocking up the
door with bis hat in band Bure rliaine
coerces a fee.
A barber shop with a rule forbidding
fees could not accommodate its custom
ers hi a building as large as tho post
office. —New York Telegram.
Certainly Extraordinary.
Tho publication of rulings by tho
secretary of tho Interior department
upon pension cases contains a remark
gblo tale told in the application for a
pension by a claimant residing in Illi
nois.
He nuulo oath that at tho battle of
Shiloh, April C, 1862, being on the
skirmish line, n cannon ball cut off the
limb of a tree, which fell upon his
back, emailing him to the ground.
While lying there a Confederate sol
dier rushed upon him and bayoneted
him in the neck.
lie was sent home, and there re
mained for ten months. He rejoined
his regiment in March, 1863. Before
Jackson, Miss., ho was again on tho
skljimlsb Hue, whop a shell cut off t lie
limb of a tree, which fell upon him,
bearing him to tho ground, and owjc
again a Confederate soldier appears ~
plunged a bayonet into his neck and
re-tired. Before a special examiner,
sent out to investigate this strange
story, the claimant stolidly adhered to
his jjeclaration.
Tho assistant secretary naively in
dorsed tills as “an extraordinary story,
and a tax upon human credulity, espe
cially os not an officer or comrade had
even heard of his being wounded.”—
Cor. Indianapolis Journal.
Something Left Out.
ft was a sign reading. “Paint.” No
one oould mistake it for “express” or
“to rent.” It was tacked on tho door,
and one could read tho word across
tho street. And yet a man walked up,
read the sign, opened the door and
blurted out: “Hang it I Look at that
daub of paint on my sleeve!”
“But didn’t yon see the sign ?’’ asked
the proprietor.
“Of course I did."
•"Phen you should have been care
ful."
“Careful! Careful! How did I know
whether you had paint to sell, or had
painted your door! Blast you, sir, it
might mean paint on your roof for all
I knew.”—Detroit Free Press.

A LOCOMOTIVE’S HEADLONG RUSH.
Down a Mountain. Through a IJout, and
Into sixty Feet or Water.
One of the most thrilling and startling
accidents ever happening In the annals
| of railroad accidents In this city oc-
I ourrod at the Iron Mountain railroad
incline at West Memphis, when a looo
! motive engine dashed under a full head
of steam down tho steep truck, crashed
through n transfer boat, and plunged
into tho Mississippi river where tho
water Is sixty feet deep.
At 8:45 o’clock in the morning the
through train from St. Louis arrived at
the west bank of the Mississippi. One- j
half of the coaches had boon run onto
the transfer boat, and the locomotive
had returned for tho remainder, when 1
the remaining couches were seen mov
ing down the Incline. Some one yelled
.to tiie engineer of the locomotive on
the Incline that there wns danger of a col
lision. Tin' affrighted engineer jumped
from his engine, which began to move
rapidly down tho incline. lie tried to 1
catch and bring it to a stop, seeing no
cause for danger, but it was too late.
The speed of the engine was accelerated
by the steam and steepness of the grade.
Like lightning it sped down the track.
Few on the boat saw the mad rush
of the abandoned locomotive, but these
were paralyzed with fear. There was
danger of the engine leaving the track
at tho Junction of the incline track and
that on tho boat. In case of this the
immense muss of iron wouhl liax-e prob
ably dashed Into the coaches on tho
boat with their mass of human freight.
No power 01 earth could stop the head
long rush of tho abandoned engine.
Like a meteor it rushed along the track.
The spectators expected it to leave five
track on Its entry on the boat, but the
locomotive dashed through thasteamor
over its stem and plunged into tho
water.
A plunge, a deafening roar of dis
turbed water, a hissing noise of (‘scap
ing steam, and the immense mass of
Iron went down to the bottom of tho
river, and in an Instant tho water was
as smooth as glass. Those who wit
nessed tho thrilling scene breathed a
sigh of relief when they realized that
only chance had averted a terrible ca
tastrophe.—Memphis Avalanche.
Extfind tho I'rcsent System.
What remains to bo done? In the
first, place, It is necoasary to demonstrate
to the people the practicability and tho
fairness of tho reform methods, for
therein rest Its maintenance and exten
sion. In the second place, every effort
should l>o made from year to your
j to obtain appropriation sufficient to
I enable tl;e civil service commission to
! carry on their work successfully. In
the third place, wo must seek the- vx
j tension of tho system by executive act,
which pan reach almost every branch
j fhat it Is desirable to bring within tho
law, and strive also by somo practical
scheme to tako the fourth class post
masters out of politics.
It is utterly impossible to apply to
fourth class postmasters, even if it were
desirable, tlm system of competitive
examinations, but it is quite possible to
tako them out of polities, and to that
end every effort now should be direct
ed, for with tho removal of tho 57,000
fourth class postoffleos from politics tho
old system of patronage will bo prac
tically at an end.—Henry Cabot Lodge

I>lTldlng tho Fees.
Tho table waiters in some of the res

adopted a custom which h;is been In 1
vogue for a long time among their eon- |
frores in Paris, which astounded a New
Yorker who was made aware of it while
at one of the restaurants of Paris not
long ago. Tiie elegantly dressed waiter
who brought him tho dainty viands
I told tho New Yorker that the waiters
there put into one box all the fees
which they procure each day from their
customers, and that tho sum total In

them at night. “But,” tho New Yorker
asked, "can you always trust all your

they procure?” "Wo trust in each

KATY DID AND KATY DIDN’T.
An Evening Song That a Simple rroemure
of the Hand Will Hindi.
Thero is one crop of early autumn
that grows on trees which doesn’t vary
much, and that is the katydids. Cli
matic influences are favorable to tho
growth of this fruit. It is a singular
thing that on the same trees where, forty
years ago. as little elms, theso chant
ing insects lived, they now stay. They
are never known to change from ono
tree to another There may bo several
elms of equal size on one street, but
two trees will most likely hold all tho
katydids, and from tho first chosen
greenery they never budge.
The same way ono yard will have its
number, or one tree in a yard; the next
person's grounds, although just as cool
and shaded, will have none. Those in
the same tioesor yards have good man
ners, never Interrupting each other,
but listening Intently for their turn to
express their belief as to whether Katy
did or didn't. Tho outside world, after
listening for years to tho debate, is di
vided as to opinion. Just the same mb
on more Important subjects, it judges
in accordance with tho sentiments of
its own consciousness.
These little green chanters never
change their opinion. For year after
year they belong to the dids or didn’ts,
and by no mistake alter their saying.
Ono may tramp around the trees where
they live, may sit beneath them, talk,
laugh or indulge in auy noise, and Ivaty
chants on In undisturbed monologue.
But lay a hand ever so lightly against
tlm bark of a tree, one says who Ims
tried It, and their notes are instantly
hushed, remaining nmto till the hand
is removed. In darkness, when one
creeps softly up to an elm where, above
in the bronchos is taking place a loqua
cious dialogue, and softly rests the
palms of the hands against the bark,
tho silenoo is painfully sudden.
There was a man visiting Rhode
Island whose ambition was to possess
some elm trees, and in them katydids.
He had tho elms for tho katydids, but
110 katydids for the elms. No 110 came
from his distant homo and got posses
sion of one. which ho carried bock and
put well up in the greenery of tho elm
Then 110 waited. Tho katy was as
dumb as a sealed fruit jar, and wouldn’t
say a word. 110 wrote back to inquire
why tho thing wouldn't open its mouth
and sing, lie was informed, first, that
tho thing didn't speak tho sentence
with any mouth, but with its legs; sec
ond, that although tho divorco laws of
Rhode Island were often brittle enough
to sever knots tied by ministers, still ho
need not exi>cet any garrulous hilarity
from ono katydid separated from its
mate and alone in a lone land. Then
another was-sent and put in tho tree,
and In truo marital stylo ono sold Katy
did, and got contradicted In about a
second. They’ve kept it up over since.

There is one method of using rubber

Direction, cind has lately been applied
very acceptably to walking shoes. It
consists of tho insertion of a single lay

Providential.
Our Puritan ancestors were strongly
inclined to refer every occurrence toon
overruling providence. They were not
wrong in theory, but tho practice of
calling in frequent special interposi
tions rather confusod the idea of be
neficent natural law. The old view is
brought out in a story told of John
Eliot, the apostle to tho Indians. He
was as ready to do his white neighbors
a good turn ns to labor for the spiritual
welfare of the savages. Indeed, ho
was thought by some to be too gen- .
orous.
His salary was often distributed for
the relief of his needy neighbors so
soon after tho period nt which it was
received that before another pay day
arrived his own family were straitened
for tiie comforts of life. One day the
parisli treasurer, xvhon called upwTny
Mr. Eliot for tho salary due, put it into
a handkerehlof, and tied the end* of
tho handkerchief inns many hard knots
as he could, in order to prevent tho
pastor’s giving away the money before
lie got home.
Tho good man received Ids handker
chief and took leave of the treasurer.
Ho immediately went to tho house of
a sick and necessitous family. On en
tering he gave them Ids blessing, and
told them that God had sent them
somo relief.
The sufferers, with tears of gratitude,
welcomed their pious benefactor, who,
with moistened eyes, began to untie
tho knots in Ills handkerchief. After
many efforts to get at his money, and
impatient at the perplexity and delay,
ho gavo the handkerehlof and all tho
money to tho mother of the family,
saying with a trembling accent, “Here,
my dear, take it; I believe the Lord de
signs it all for you.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
A Sdlnuii Thought.
Did you over stop and think while
reading Ihe morning paper that tho
next day’s issue might contain your
obituary? A cheerful thought, but
the suddenness of death might well
set us all thinking. Our tenure of life
is about as frail its the hold of an apple
ou the bough when tho wind is blow
ing. There is no use getting frightened
about it, either. If tho apple is going
to fall, pray heaven it may ho ripe and
sound to tho very core; that is all that
is essential. Thero hits boon lots of

l>r. Yalmiii[u'ii FI rut Toothache.
My first attack of toothache is ono
of my strongest recollections. I recall
tiie tears I shod, tho throbbing pain,
and how I cried all night. Then tho
only dentist we ever heard of, tho vil
lage doctor, was called.
At tho sight of his forceps the tooth
ache stopped. I could not see the
necessity of removing a painless tooth
and told him so. But he talked sooth
ingly and introduces his forceps. They
could hardly enter for tho'howl* I wns
emitting.
Tho touch of tho cold steel on my
gums made tho flesh creep. Then tho
line tor, whom I thought a cruel wretch,
held my head tight against his knee.
There was a wrench as if my head was
being pulled off.
1 was filled with wratli and thought
of how I would have it out witli the
doctor when I became a man. Then
was another wrench which I soemed to
feel to tho soles of my feet, as if every
bono was being wrenched out of its
socket, and the doctor held tho bleed
ing molar in tho forceps.—l)r. Talmago

The Interest of Flfty-flvo Year*.
A client went to his lawyer and said
that he had reason to believe that his
father, who had been dead several
years, had left money in the Bleocker
Street Savings bank. The lawyer made
an investigation and found that his
client’s father had an aecothit there.
It was opened away back in 183 C.
Four years afterward ho evidently in
tended to close it, for he drew out all
the money deposited except $lO. This
$lO had iieori there since 1834, and had
never been touched. The claimant
proved his identity, and the bank paid
over the money. How much do you
suppose it was? Four hundred and
sixty-six dollars. The $-166 was the in
terest which had accumulated siuco
1834. —Interview in Now York Star.
Tlt« Hanker* of Turkey.
The most of the banking business ot
Turkey is done by Armenians, and
you will not find a Jew pawnbroker
in New York who will demand a
higher per cent, or drive a harder bar
gain. It is so witli much of tho mer
cantile business, and wherever you
find brains, education and business
tact required in the Turkish empire
you will find that an Armenian is
somewhere about to furnish it. —Frank

of the first class.
