Clay was vis¬ iting a backwoods county in Kentucky, where the man who could fire the best shot stood highest in esteem, and the man who couldn’t fire at all was looked upon with contempt. He was canvass¬ ing for votes when he was approached by some old hunters, one-of whom told him that he would be elected to con¬ gress, but that he must first show how good a shot he was. Clay declared that he never shot with any rifle except his own, which was at home. A target was set up, however, and Mr. Clay aimed at it. He fired faint heartedly, but the shot struck the bull's eye in the center. “A chance shot! A chance shot!” cried his opponents. “Never mind,” he answered. “You beat it, and then I will.” No one could beat it, and Mr. Clay had too much sense to try again.—New York World. A Doubtful Compliment. Sometimes an expression of thank¬ fulness can be turned into one of things which are better left unsaid. One sunny day a sad eyed man, clad in shiny raiment, found a prosperous youth enjoying the warmth of Broad street, and besought him for alms. He himself, quoth the applicant, had known prosperity in earlier days, and he knew what was due from one gen-' tieman to another. Therefore lie had not hesitated to address the youth, who, being happy himself, should try to make others happy. All this had its effect upon the young man. He pro¬ duced a dime and handed it to the stranger, who accepted it with a bow and a flourish. 5 i Ah, mister,” he said, “I hope we shall meet again, and that then I shall be in a position to recipro¬ cate.” Then he went his way, leaving the youth sadly puzzled as to just what he uxeant.—New York Times. Aii Arithmetical Question. Judge (to. horrid scamp who has just been sentenced to a couple of years’ hard labor)—Have you anything to add? “No, your honor; I would rathei subtract—La Papillon. Speaking l>y the Cards. “Whist is a poor substitute for the moonlight.” “In what way?” “Holding hands.’’—New York Her¬ ald. Ambition Grows. One of the millionaires of this town, who is a sociable clubman as well as a shrewd and successful banker, came here nearly fifty years ago from Ver monk He was a poor boy, with plenty of strength and energy. The highest aim of his ambition then was to accu¬ mulate $10,000, go back to Vermont, buy a farm and live there the remain¬ der of his life. He was able to buy his coveted farm in Vermont many years ago, but instead of being contented to live on it, he can barely find time to spend a few weeks each summer there. Already worth a million or more, he finds his chief pleasure in delving for more money in this great city.—New York Times. A Spanisb-American Dainty. “The most delicious thing I ever ate was roast monkey,” said a drummer at the Anderson who occasionally takes a trip through the tropics. “Talk about chicken and turkey, or even canvas back duck, they are not equal in flavor or tenderness to a young monkey. The natives in Spanisli-America are very fond of them, and they never hesitate about eating them. They scoop out holes in the ground and make a small bake oven in which they roast them. Sometimes the animal is boiled, but no matter how prepared the meat is al ways a palatable dish.” — Pittsburg Dispatch. Some Lovers* Superstitions. When a young lady’s hairpins fall out it is a sign that her sweetheart is thinking about her. If she sees a red bird and kisses her hand to it she will see her sweetheart before Saturday night. A rhyme made unconsciously while talking is also looked upon by the amorous as a forerunner of a lover's appearance. — Detroit Free Press.

When one party is Catholic and the other Protestant he grants permission, and a priest per¬ forms the ceremony in private houses as observed in the church. ONE KISS BEFORE PARTING. The Request of a Marchioness As to lushed a Young Shopman. A lady of fashion had been loitering for nearly an hour in a fashionable music shop recently. 8he had pur¬ chased a copy of nearly every piece of music that had a sentimental title, and had sent out to her carriage a whole portmanteau full of “love” — going through every mood of the feeling, past, present, or future—and was following their example when she paused upon the step as if meditating whether she should take it or some other step that was exidently turning itself over in her mind. The shopman, who had been some¬ what moved by the tender tone of voice in which she had asked him, “Wilt thou love me then as now?” watched her with an anxiety that be¬ trayed itself too plainly in the adjust¬ ment of his shirt collar and the arrange¬ ment of his hair. Suddenly the lady seemed resolved, as with one bound she cleared the pavement, and. breathless, pale, her auburn ringlets fluttering in the wind, stood once more before the admiring shopman. “Iliad nearly forgotten,” she said, in a voice that seemed to veil her blushing words; “dear! dear! I can not tell where my head is today! I come back to ask you if by chance”— here she paused, as if to take new cour¬ age, while the trembling shopman posted his two thumbs elegantly on the mahogany counter and leant liis body inquiringly forward—“to ask you to be kind enough to give me one lass before parting. ” “M-a-a-a-d-a-m!” exclaimed the as¬ tonished shopman. “I want you,” repeated the mar¬ chioness, “to let me have one kiss be¬ fore parting.” She raised her beautiful blue eyes full upon iiis, and met them boldly and un blushingiy. She then, without betray¬ ing any emotion, repeated her question, adding, as calmly as possible, “If you cannot give it to me now, I will call some other time.” Me could doubt no longer. Spring¬ ing over the counter, he seized hold of the lady’s fair form and then and there gave the kisses she so earnestly begged for previous to departure. To his great astonishment the only return the lady gave was a box on the ears. This was followed by a volley of blows dealt by her parasol over his head, which was accompanied with an equal number of shrieks that never terminated till the police came into the shop. The affair was carried to the nearest police court, but was soon dismissed upon its being explained that “One Kiss Before Parting” was the name of a song which the unsophisticated shop¬ man, blissfully green from his native fields, had never heard of before.— Sheffield Telegraph. Rebuking; a Greedy Client. A Philadelphia lawyer, now dead, who had a national reputation, having been honored with high positions of trust both at Washington and Harris¬ burg, was famous for his tremendous charges. One day a client for whom he had collected 01,509 called at his of¬ fice to receive the money, and the law¬ yer handed him a check for $100. The client looked at it and remarked that the lawyer must have made a mistake, and had given him the check which he meant to keep for his fee. “Let me look at the check,” said tiie attorney, and glancing over it he declared that it was all right and no mistake had been made. The client kicked against a fee of $1,400 for collecting $1,500. “Oh, well, if you want to be a hog about it take that," said the man of laws impatiently, and he wrote out an¬ other check. It was for $150, and with that the client had to be content, the lawyer pocketing $1,350.—Philadelphia Record. Ilig Figures Accounted For. Gas Man—Humph! Something queer about this meter. I)o you use all those lamps standing there in a row 7 ? New Girl—No, indeed, sir, we don’t use any.

Against the Eight Hour I.aw. “Mercy me!” said Miss Passee, “I sincerely hope they will not pass the law making day of eight hours. ” a “Why not?” “Just think how rapidly we shall age! Just three times as fast.”—Har¬ per’s Bazar. % An excellent cough mixture is com¬ posed of the following- One pound of figs chopped fine, one pound of loaf sugar, one pint of Jamaica rum poured over the figs and sugar. Let it stand twelve hours. Then strain and bottle. A teaspoonful every hour or two.
