COMMERCIAL BANK, Tbo Original portion uf Him, However, Prtkirvvs Tt. cif.Vrfit 1 nr,.. The clerks of tlio Grand say that the most cheerful man that ever staid there was M. Dowling, of Min neapolis, and ho had $000 woith of wooden legs and wooden arms'. He wore them all himself. Without them he would not, to all appear ances, havo made much of u showing. Set up on liis high cork legs, how ever, and with his arms pieced out with the same material, lie would burnt into tlio hotel like a ray of light on a dark, cloudy day. He was the victim of one of the playful blizzards of Minnesota. When it was over and he wu» gathered up from the snow it was difficult to toll whnt pieces would withstand the al lurements of tho gravedigger. Some of him survived, however, and then he set about to Bee what he could do. Both legs were off close to tho body. His left forearm was gone, and all he had remaining was tho smallest stump of the thumb on the right hand. He practiced for awhile walking with the heavy leathern boots which everybody has seen leg less men wear. Finally lie raised enough money to buy cork extrem ities. Mr. Downing likes a joke, and when stopped on the street hero and importuned for alms by men with one leg or arm, or both legs or arms gone, would immediately take them to restaurants and load thorn up with a big dinner, all the time listening to their tale of misfortune with the greatest interest When it was all over his face would lighten, and much to their as tonishment ho would begin shucking his legs and anus, exposing the hypo critical material of which they were made. At the same timo lie would tell how glad he would he if he was only as well supplied with legs and arms os they were. Ho would next tell them to brace up, take heart and begin to learn something useful to support themselves. Mr. Dowling cannot use a cane be cause he cannot hold one. Therefore without aid he is forced to make his way. He has learned to do it so well that he can outrun any able- bodied man, however Bkillful he may be, who will hop while ho runs. He has learned to grasp a pen or pencil with the small stump of a thumb, and he writes a beautiful hnnd very rapidly.—San Francisco Examiner. . Wllllfl'N I*„rt lu the JUlicuMton, They sat with bowed heads about the table while tho minister invoked the divine blessing. "More light, O Lord," urose the prayer. "Send move light to guide our halting footsteps.” Tlie small boy at the foot of the table moved uneasily. “Amen.” It was tho mother of the household who made fervent response to the preacher's petition. "Ma, do” — She managed to subdue the small boy until grace had been said. "Whnt is it. Willie?” Sho spoke with excessive indul gence, us mothers are wont to do in the presence of company. "Do you mean it?" , "Mean what, my child?" "That you want more light.” Tho minister beamed cordially upon tho youthful face. It pleased him to note signs of a religious awakening in tho boyish mind. "Certainly, my dear,” the mother declared. We all need more light,” the man of God smilingly insisted. Tho lad pondered for a moment. "Well,” ho observed at last ]>osi- tively, "all I can say is tkut you’d better look out.” "Why, Willie?" "It’ll go liurd with you if you get more light, ’cause pa said if tho gas bill got any bigger somebody would get scalped." For several moments afterward conversation flagged.—Detroit Trib une.

The man of the house took to the sofa in the sitting room with a news paper directly after breakfast, while his wife went on with the house cleaning. She was dismantling the front room, and while ho pursued the sporting column she carried past him in turn seven chairs, three tables, a desk, four footstools, all of the pictures, a piano stool, a book case and the rest of the furniture. Then she lugged in a pair ef steps and a big pail of water and began to clean. “Maria, do you wnnt any assist ance?" said the man just then, rising and folding his newspaper. “Not just yet, dear,” said Maria. “Well, then, I think I’ll leave you,” said he and he started for the office. On the way down he told three men that if there was anything that wore him to the skin and hone it was that confounded housecleaning. Said he, "We are in the midst of now and I tell you I'm about used up.’’—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. What Overwork Does. There is a general agreement as to the fact that for a largo number of our people overwork is the bane of existence. It not only exhausts then- vitality, prematurely cutting short their lives, but it seriously interferes with their success, renders their services less valuable and spoils the happiness of their lives. It does not even end here. It affects others also in proportion to their nearness, for the family and friends of an over worked man always suffer. Jaded and worn he cannot fulfill his duties to them, nor afford them the comfort and happiness which he owes them and which they have a right to ex pect. He is, in truth, but half man while he lives and is probably preparing to live out but half his days.—Philadelphia Ledjgsr. Fighting a Domestic Cat. I have limited tigers in India and polar hears in the regions of eternal snow, hut tho worst fight I ever had was with a common house cat,” said G. W. Cooper. “I had a fine block cat of unusual size that I kept in the store to discourage mice. One day Tom disappeared and was gone dur ing the entire summer. When ho returned with tho advent of cold weather it was easy to see that ho had been prowling in the woods. He had liecoine wild and savage, nod when I attempted to caress him he bit me. I determined to punish hhr for that little bit of pleasantry, and procuring a switch followed him into tho storehouse and shut the door. Now u <tom cat that fights at fifteen pounds is no despicable antagonist, and I soon realized the fact, "He would spring for iny face and I would knock him back, losing con siderable euticlo at each round. Fi nally ho fastened his teeth in the side of my neck and it required all my strength to choke him off. When I succeeded in doing so I was afraid to let go of him, and he tore my nrms terribly with his claws, finished him at lost, but I looked as though I had been mn through a thrashing machino. Hereafter when I attempt to chastise a cat I will pro cure a suit of armor and a club stud ded with brass nails."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Baldlieaded Old Gentleman and i Young Woman the Only Artort. A.girl about eighteen years old sat next the window in tho rear cross seat of an elevated railroad car. In elite of the steaming weather sho looked cool and fresh in her white India muslin frock, and her largo blue eyes looked out innocently upon ahotuud profane generation. Upon her head she wore a big wavy hat of ,WlUte Leghorn straw, around the crown of which was a garland of fre^t flaming poppies which dangled oosely from their rubber stems. , The car was an old one, and there was no little fence to separate the jefson sitting where she did from tho person sitting In the side seat next to the cross section. The girl sat well uto tlie corner and behind her in the 1 lido Beat satan old gentleman who had. taken off his hat, and whose large bald spot was turned toward the girl. Neither dreamed of interfering with the other, but the motion of the Ira in sot the popples on the girl’s hut godding and they tickled the old gentleman on his bald spot. He was reading his newspaper and made an abseutiuiuded pnss ut the imaginary fly, with the result of giving the big hat u smart slap. Tlio girl half looked around to see who was jost ling her. but the old gontleman did not notico her. She Bottled buck in her seat again, and ugain her pop- lies scratched the gleaming spheroid jellied her. Again the man slapped at the fly, with much energy this time, and either! his hand or his shoulder touched' tho girl’s shoulder. She wns startled and looked ready to mu away, but there were no empty seat» near bjr auil she hesitated. Tho old gentleman, on his part, turned aroundtimd regarded her with a look of momentary suspicion which changed to puzzled surprise.' By thjs time several persons sit ting neur the unconscious combat ants were indulging in broad grins, which did not add to the peace of mind either of man or girl; but they gradually resumed their former atti tudes, and again the poppies dangled nst the skull of the unfortunate old gem)emau, who turned around sharply, whon the trailing flower brushed |igninst his nose. With look of mingled disgust and relief— because he understood at Inst—ho turned his bald spot toward the Win dow, .while his neighbors smiled nt the closo of the comedy, and the girl continued to look out of her big blue eyes at a world wherein was much that sho didn’t know about.—New York Times. Tho Way of the Transgressor. Jepson liod married his wife for no reason in the world except that she had money, though he lied to her like a pirate, and she. thought it was a love match. Naturally wedded life was not sweet, and Jepson was getting the bitterest end of it. One day he met a friend. ‘ "By George 1" he exclaimed, “that wife of mine will drive me crazy." "What’s the matter now?” inquired the friend consolingly. "You know my wife has $150,000, and you know I married her for it and got it. There is no use lying about that any further.” The friend bowed in acquiescence. "Well, do you know that she has divided the whole thing up into sums of $100 each and proposes to have me arrested 1,500 times for obtaining money under falso pretenses,! Think of that, will you? Did you ever hear of such a woman?” And Jepson went into a spasm.—Detroit Free Press. The Mississippi's Months. When the jetties were built the other passe i or mouths of the Mis sissippi river were not closed. On the contrary, they are all there, just as many of them as there have ever been in the historic period. The jet ties were placed in the South pass when it was only eight- feet deep. Now it is more than thirty feet deep, giving free passage to the largest class of ships. Southwest pass, which was formerly the chief channel navigation and had to be dredged daily to secure an extreme depth of eighteen or nineteen feet, is now en tirely neglected as a route for com merce, but as an outlet for the river water it is doing its duty, as are all the other passes.—New Orleans Pica yune.

Why It Was She Was Ter- suadetl to Marry Hinny O'Sullivan, The girl who marries for money Is popularly supposed to marry for plenty of It. But mercenary matches ore unfortunately quite as common in poor and humble society as in more conspicuous circles. An Irish woman, still young and on tho evo of a second marriage, thus related her first experience, which happily partook more of comedy than trag edy.

TIi^Tono of Rermt Rtorlra. A misguided person recently, who was desjrous of being cheerful, and seeking something that would raise his spirits, and who had perhaps in his soul a hankering after beauty, said that ho could not find tn any book shop or newsstand a novel or short story of recent date that was not unpleasant in subject, and did not end either in deepair or degrada tion. Even in the railway trains the same discouraging and altogether dyspeptio papulum was offered to him; the train seemed to be run by Schopenhauer. Every day • shoal of fiction is issued, and it is nearly all of this character. All the young writers catch this note. We cannot deny their sincerity. They do not yet know by experi ence that it is not a cheerful world they have fallen into, but their atti tude to life hi that of sadness, inves tigating sadness aided by a micro scope. The duty is laid upon them of studying life as it really is, of ex posing its weakness and imperfec tion, its evil and its ugliness. This study is usually made without hope. And the study being always down ward, it comes to be felt that one cannot be altogether sincere without being sad and too often coarse.— Charles Dudley Warner in Harper’s. A Refreshing Operation* Wash the head, especially the bock part, in water just as hot as can be borne. Take a sponge or towel, soak it in the hot water, and put it on the back of the neck, holding the head down and letting the hot water run over it Repeat this four or five minutes and the face will look like a boiled lobster. Then take a dash of cold water, wipe the head dry, lie down for fifteen minutes and one will feel like a new man or woman. Moreover—this is for the ladies—it’s the best thing in the world to give a good, clear complexion.—New York Recorder. Oh, What a Caagh, Will you heed the warning?

The Romans make like wise a highly ambitions sausage, in which no kind of bread is allowed to enter. They call it "zampino," which is the foot and leg of young pork, the best of which is obtained from Modena. A leg freshly salted is chosen and carefully skinned, the trotter being preserved; then the meat' is finely minced, and, after being seasoned, is replaced in the "zampino," which tied with string and simmered in an oval pan for two hours. Wholly in nocent of breadcrumb are also the renowned “cervelas" of Strasburg.— London Telegraph. Sly Georgia* George went with his father to bring home a sleigh. The distance was not great and Mr. 8. decided to draw the vehicle home. The little boy took Ids sled with him, but was to push and render all the assistance be could in that way. Now, the temptation to slip the rope of his sled through the runner ot the sleigh and so catch a ride occasionally was too great to bo resisted. At such times his father (who was very nearsighted), finding the sleigh drawing a little heavily, would say, ''Georgia, Georgie, are you push ing?” As often ss the question came the little fellow was on his feet in au instant, and. renewing his exertions would answer, “Yeththir, yeth thir you pullin?”—New York Tribune.
