apeech in clarion tones.
No and then the parent of an or¬
phan kitten would come whisdin g
through the air, and cries of “Shut
up!” and “Go home!” might have
been heard by one who happened to
have his ear to the ground at .that
time.
My brother looked a little pale, for
his health was not very good and the
room was very close iudeed, but he
spoke on bravely till, like the Glover
club, Erin Prairie had made all the
remarks it had to make, and Jhen it
simmered down. When he closed he
got a hand or two, aud one ’bid man
with thick red fur down the outside
of his throat and a medicated flannel
lining to his mouth said a3 he shook
hand with the young speaker:
“Mr. Noye, ye done dom well wid a
dom poor chance, and be gorry ye
must not judge the town by the dom
hoodlums and roof skoof and Hoon ve
Hooas and ragtag and bobtail that
was here to night, for bo gorry it was
not what ye moight call a riprisinti
tive audience at all. Ivery mon in
Airin Proirie that had a dom bit of
sinse staid at home.”
Iu Ohio we had to wait over at rail¬
road crossing several times for two or
three hours in order to connect. This
is a very tiresome job, and so we must
always hunt up a billiard room and
wear out the time by playing pool and
billiards. Pool in Ohio is not an ex¬
pensive game, especially at the cross¬
ings and junctions. We had to wait
tw'o hours at one junction, so we
went to the hotel, got our coats, check
ed and then went to a temperance
billiard hall, where at the .cigar coun¬
ter they used a natural gas well for
cigar lighting.
The tables were rather old and had
j00
been slept on a good deal too much,
and the cushions ^moaned when the
ball struck them, and the cues needed
new tips, and the floors needed con¬
centrated iye and a freshet
We played eight games in two
hours, for which we were required to
pay forty cents, or five cents per
game. When this was done the pro¬
prietor gave us sixteen cigars.
“They are pool cigars,” he said.
“We give them, two for a game, here.
They ain’t imported cigars, but cur
fellers smokes ’em quite a good deal.’
So we got sixteen cigars, eight
games of pool and went away. There
being three of us, it came to 13 1-2
cents apiece, and no charge at the
hotel for checking our overcoats.
The cigars were of the salaratus
blond type, with real ‘jute filler.' If
oisnecireful not to tip the cigar up
so as to let the works falf out he "can
smoke one almost up. They are do¬
mestic cigars, and have never had the
benefits of travel. A few more of
them would cure me of the appetite
for tobacco and put me on the plat¬
form as a worker against its use.
But later I find that they are not
composed of tobacco, so we must not
be unjust.
Noticing recently that Manager J
M, Hill is getting on his broken leg
again, reminds me an incident which
took place some years |ago when a
young man §in the balcony at the
Standard theater seemed to be just
full enough to court investigation aud
call for his onemies to come forward
and get killed. You have seen that
style of jag which yearns for some¬
thing to crush and mutilate. It gen¬
erally finds several of those before it
gets through.
This young man sat with his hat
on and rested his broad, intelligent
feet on the seat in front of him.
When the usher asked him for his
check he told him to get out or he
would beat out his brains with a
damp toweil. Ob, he "was a coarse,
bad maD, and the usher was a pale
slight girlish figure with pompadour
hair and an Eden Musee dress suit.
The bad man looked "around over
the house apd bade the show to open
up and turn loose. He was temper-
glad of it. “Bet her go; we’re all iu •
Eing her up, aud idamn be the first
feller that says ‘Nuff! » 5
Pretty soon a visiting pastor from
Maine sat down in the k seat in front
of the tough gent from Avenue A aud
gently asked him to hike down his
feet, as they annoyed him and sort of
chafed him under the arms.,
The badmaa smiled at the good
man and sort of tickled him under
the arms with the toe of his boot.
‘•I’m here, elder, you bet your sweet
life; ’at’s swat’s matter. I come £in
here and I set where I just by gosh
happen to want to. Eeserved seat’s
no object to me. When I set down
in my reserve seat. See?”
Just than the visiting pastor from
Maine gathered the massive feet,
one under each arm, and gently
took for the aisle. Gayly he trip
ped up the aisle, knocking off a lum¬
ber vertebraeateveryjump. Around
he went to the stair, and so trickling
along dow with the bad man at Iris
heels,shedding front teeth and bleed
ing at the nose at every bump, down
the iron shod stairway and so on out
into thestreetand into the arms of
a policeman, who wasn’t quick
enough to get away and so had to
take charge of the defendant and
lead him away.
Should the bad man who “never
had to reserve a seat” ever read these
lines he will understand that the vis¬
iting pastor from Maine who scattered
splinters of spene and things down
the stairway of the Standard’s theater
was J. M. Hill.
We should learn from this at ally
times to avoid those things from
which we should abstain. Bill Nye.
The postage stamp will be fif¬
ty-two years old in. May of next
year. Its inventor was a prin¬
ter—James Chalmers, of Dun¬
dee, Scotland, who died in 1853.
England, fifty-two years ago,
introduced the new system of
prepaying letter postage, and
according to a decree of Decem-
21, 1839 issued the first stamps,
which were to be put before the
public on May 6 of the follow¬
ing year, as noted above. A
year later they were introduced
in the United States and Swit¬
zerland, and within three years
had become common in Bavaria
Belgium and France.
While out hunting a few days
ago Mr. P. W. Smith, of Oglet¬
horpe, filled up his pipe and sat
down to take a rest and a quiet
smoke. Suddenly there was a
flash, a sharp report, a pipeless
stem and a surprised member
of the illustrious Smith family,
he bad gotton his rifle cartridges
and smoking tobacco mixed.
