Barker. i Right to the Point, “The following letter,” said a travel- ing man, “was received by a friend of mine who was drumming up trade in New England for a New York necktie house: “‘We have received your letter with expense account. What we want is or- ders. We have big families to make expenses for us. We find in your ex- pense account 50 cents for billiards. Please don’t buy any more billiards; also we see $2.25 for horse and buggy. Where 1s the horse, and what did you do with the buggy? The rest of your expense account is nothing but bed. ‘Why 1s it you don’t ride more in the nighttime? “‘John says you should stop in Bos- ton, where his cousin George Moore lves. John says you should sell Moore a good bill. Give good prices—he is John’s cousin. Sell him mostly for cash; also John says you can leave Boston at 11:45 in the night and get te Concord at 4:35 in the morning. Do this and you won't need any bed. And, remember, what we want is orders.’” Trading as a Fine Art. A grocery store in Nelson, Lanca- shire, was managed by a collier’s wife. One night the good woman was com- pelled to leave the shop for a short time in charge of her husband, giving him full instructions how to act and especlally cautioning him that in the event of a customer presenting a jar or pot and asking for treacle, jam or pickles he “must be sure and weigh th’ pot.” Full of confidence, the collier install- ed himself behind the counter. In a short time a lad ran into the shop and piped out: “I want two pound o’ pickles fur mi faythur, and here’s th’ pot.” The good man carefully weighed the pot and exclaimed: “Nay, lad, th’ pot weighs enough bowt pickles, but I'll gi’ thi one or two anyway.”—Liverpool Mercury. _ The First American Duel. In the year 1630 occurred the first duel known to have taken place on American soil. The principals, Edward Doty and Edward Leister, were serv- ants of a Mr. Hopkins, one of the New England colonists. The men had quar- reled over some trifling matter and re- sorted to the field for its settlement. 'The affair was stopped by the authori- tles, but not before one had been ‘wounded in the thigh and the other in the hand. There was no law covering such matters, but the governor of the province decided that the men should be punished nevertheless, At his or- ders they were sent to have their heads and feet tled together and lie in that condition twenty-four hours without food or drink. They suffered so much, however, that they were released at the end of an hour. His Apprenticeship. “Yes,” said Mr. Pater, with ill con- cealed pride, “my youngest boy makes some smart remarks at times. Only re- cently he asked me what it meant to be an apprentice. I told him that it meant the binding of one person to an- other by agreement and that one per- 8on 8o bound had to teach the other all he could of his trade or profession, ‘While the other had to watch and learn how things were done and had to make himself useful in every way possible.” “What did he say to that?’ asked one of the audience. “Why, after a few minutes the young rascal looked up at me and said, ‘Then T suppose you're apprenticed to mother, mren’t you, dad? "—London Answers. Herbert Spencer and the Puddles. On no one occasion was Herbert Spencer known to ride when going to & dinner, yet so carefully did he guard himself against the chance of soiling his dress shoes that he habitually car- rled a bundle of old newspapers under his arm. These ‘were for the purpose of being dropped, one by one, into each mud puddle he might encounter on crossing the street. By the time he reached his destination the store of pa- pers was exhausted. Muddy shoes on the return walk did not matter to him in the least.—London Caterer. For Emergencies. A backing reserve Is for use, not merely for show. It is for use in times of emergency. Yet some bankers look upon their reserves very much as the superintendent of a hospital regarded its emergency bed. A patient all bang- ed up In an accident was brought to the hospital one night and was told that there was no room for him. “Why not put him in the emergency bed?” it was suggested. “If we put him in the emergency bed,” it was replied, “then We would have no emergency bed.”— ‘Wall Street Journal. A Clever Scheme. Mother (examining school report)— How did you come to have such good marks in arithmetic this week?

Bee?—Harper’s. Impartial. “Mz. Scatterton prides himself on being strictly impartial.” “Yes,” answered the unamiable man. “I once went shooting with him. He didn’t seem to care whether he hit the rabbit, the dog or one of his friends.” The Dangerous Case. One of the surgeons of a hospital asked an Irish. help which he consid- ered the most dangerous of the many cases then in the hospital. “That, sir,” said Patrick as he pointed to a case of surgical instruments. Man's wrinkled face 1s the original time table—Dallas News. Whistler’s Odd Ways. | Lord Redesdale once gave a descrip- tlon of Whistler's methods to a meet- ing in London in support of a memo- rlal to the great artist. He was paint- Ing, he said, a portrait of a lady. Whistler took up his position at one end of the room with his sitter and the canvas at the other end. For a long tlme he stood looking at his model, holding In his hand a huge brush full. of color, such a brush as a man would use to whitewash a house. Then he rushed forward and smasbed the brush full of color into the canvas. Then he ran back, and forty or fifty times he repeated this. At the end of that time there stood out on the canvas a space which exactly indicated the fig: ure, the form and the expression of the sitter. There was a pathetic story attaching to the picture. The balliffs were In the house when the picture was finished. That was quite a com- mon occurrence, and Whistler - only laughed, but he went round his studic with a knife and deliberately destroyed all his canvases, including this plcture, which was to have been his (Lord Redesdate’s).—Dundee Advertiser. A Memory Test. A professor of mnemonics had gone to lecture at or near Canterbury. Aft- er the lecture was finished he had to wait for his London train. It was a most comfortless day, and he retired to an inn for shelter and refreshment. To pass the time he began to exhibit his feats of memory to the yokels in the inn parlor, and one and all were thunderstruck except the waiter. There Is always one skeptic in every com- munion, whether of saints or sinners. Do what he would he could not miti- gate the acrid smile of acid incredulity of that glorified potman! In the midst of one of his most difficult feats the whistle sounded of the “Only train to London tonight!” and he rushed off to catch it. He caught it at the station, and his reputation caught it in the inn parlor, for the waiter, coming in with fome ordered refreshments and find- ing him gone, pointed to the corner where he had been sitting and exclaim- ed, “Silly 'umbug, he's forgot his um- brella!’—Young Man. Juvenile Natural History. “Papa,” said Harry, infant phenom- enon, aged nine, “will you give me my pocket money.in advance? I want to buy a book on moths.” “Certainly, my boy,” said the retired colonel. “Here’s a shilling for you. 1 am delighted that you should take such an interest in natural history.” That evening all the old colonel’s best friends came to dinner. “Now is my opportunity,” reflected the proud parent, “to show these peo- ple what a clever boy my son is. 1 shall have him in at dessert time!” 806 Harry came in with the pears and pineapple, and in loud tones the gal- lant colonel remarked: “Well, Harry, did you get your book on moths?” “Yes, papa,” answered his son.” “And what is it called?” pursued the delighted father. “Oh,” said the unsuspecting phenom enon, “it is entitled ‘Hints to Young Moth-ers!” ”—London Answers.

One day an important looking gen- tleman took a seat beside a quiet man in an Arkansas railway carriage and began a conversation. “I'm going up to Little Rock,” he sald, “to get a pardon for a convicted thief. I'm not personally acquainted with the governor, but he can’t afford to refuse me.” “Is the fellow guilty?’ asked the man. “Of course he is. But that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me $500 if I get him out, and the thermometer is very low when I can’t put up a good talk. Where are you traveling?” % “Going to Little Rock.” “Do you live there?” “Yen.? “Perhaps you might be of some serv- ice to me. What business are you in?"” “I am the governor.”—St. Louis Re- public. Lewis Carroll's Hiumor, An English magazine gives some amusing pleces of Lewis Carroll’s hu- mor from the forgotten pages of Ox- ford pamphlets. During the election at Oxford in 1865 he gave vent to the fol- lowing Euclidean definition: “Plain su- perficlality is the character of a speech In which, any two points being taken, the speaker is found to lie wholly with regard to those two points.” A note is also given on the right appreciation of examiners: “A takes in ten books and gets a third class; B takes In the ex- aminers and gets a second. Find the value of the examiners in terms of books, also their value in terms when no examination is held.” 3 TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
