A very small pile of coal lay on the sidewalk in front of a house on A street southeast, A c,;: n .ijumdiagiy small sou of Maui was sauntering along and, seeing it, scented a job. lie rang tl»e doorbell. “Am dat yo‘ all'a ccal'r" he asked the lady at the doc. “Yes.” “Want it toted ini ’ “Yes.” “Kain’t I git dc job?” “Why, you're pretty small, and then you might charge too much. You might ask more than I could pay.” “IIow much is yo’ got?" asked the small man of business. "Kin yo’ raise a dolSah?” “Oh. iuy goodness, no!” “Seventy-five cents?” “No; run along and don’t bother ms." And she started to close the door. “Mobile so yo’U gib 50 cents.” “Xo. no; run along.” “1 reckons yo’ all ain’t got er qua’ tah?” “No.” “Ner a dime?” “No. not even a dime,” replied the woman, beginning to laugh. “Well, how much is yo’ got?" ques¬ Ham, showing bis ivories. “I sut'nly does wan ter git de job.” “I've got just a nickel.” “Well, i'ni jus' a-lcokin fer nickel jobs.” And he straightway began.— Washington Star. And Yet He Conld Write. Among the public servants who are worried by foolish questions the super lntendentmf mails iu the postotfice gets his full share. One of bis visitors on a certain occasion was a man who said to the deputy who answered the call ““fanT g^ingout of town today and want to get a letter to my brother, who is ou board the Majestic, ami she is not due until Wednesday. I don't you help meV . “Certainly we cau.” said the derk. “A tnaiiboat goes to meet the steamer, and if you address your letter properly and put domestic postage on it it will be delivered all right” “But how shall I address it—where shall 1 send it?" “Address it 'John Smith, passenger on board incoming steamer Majestic, due in New York, Dee. 12.' That will reach him.’’ “No elty ? No nothing ?” “That’s all—jest as I told you.’* The man thanked the clerk and went away, and came hack a little later with ah addressed letter in his hand. “Say,” lie said to the clerk, “about that letter. I’ve addressed it aud stamped it ail right, hut the mau s name isn't John Smith. How about that?”—New York Tribune. The Old Home Paper. Noting the fact that many country bred men in the large cities take the local paper in their old home, the Phil¬ adelphia Record says: “The head of a large Market street wholesale business bouse, a man now advanced iu years, has been a regular subscriber to one of the Bucks county papers for 50 years. ‘He wouldn’t give it up for anything.’ said this man's son. •Ho gets more real enjoyment from it than from anything he reads. A daily edi¬ tion has been started within the last ten years, but he doesn't want that. He only gets the weekly edition, which prints gossip of a personal nature from the various towns throughout the coun¬ ty. He will pore over this by the hour, and his comments on the various items of news are often amusing. Scarcely a name ia mentioned that he doesn’t say, “Why, I used to go to. school with his father," or “I once licked his Circle Jim for tying my clothes op when wo used to go swimming iu the Neshaaii ny.” ’ ” Xot Hi» Day For Selling. “Does you want to sec dc president of de road?” queried the colored man who sat in a chair at the head of the stairs. “Yes: he's the man I want to see,” replied the culler. “’Bout a pass or sunthin?” “About buying out the road for $50. 000.000. Can you attend to the busi¬ ness for me?” “I 'speets i could, sab; but, dis belli my second day yere an bein 1 ain’t feel in* powerful well, perhaps you’d better see de president hisseif—right down de hall an second doab to de left, sab. ’— Chicago News.
