The day was hot and sultry, and the man with the felt hat was perspiring freely. “Why don’t you wear a straw hat?” asked his companion. cooler these hot days. “I would, only it is so much trouble, you | know,” replied the other. “One is always afraid a straw Le wil) blow off.” No trouble at all,” retorted the first. “Let other people run after your hat. You'll | find hundreds of men who seem to take a delight in running after hats not their own. Just try it and see.” A reporter tried it on a windy day. With a brand-new hat of oat straw, light as a feather, his head so as to give the wind ample chance, he boarded a West Madison street car and started down town. The car reach- ed Ashland avenue. A gust of wind swept along and off went the hat. The reporter | grabbed for it—but too late! Slap went the tightly woven straw into a fat woman's face. She screamed, clutched the hat with both hands, and looked daggers at the owner us he walked back three seats to claim it. “Why don't you get one of those ‘ninny* strings to keep your hat out of other peo- ple's faces?” she cried angrily. The owner nervously resumed his seat. Just before Halstead street reached the erties followed by a signal to stop the car. “Oh! my hat! my hat! won't some one get it?” she screamed at the top of her voice. The reporter did not stir. He knew the voice; it, as well as the hat, belonged to the fat woman. It was his turn to laugh this time and though he did not do so he felt tempted to say something about “nin- ny” strings. The conductor ran a half block before he caught up with the hat. He bent down to Fick it up, when another gust of wind blew it out of his reach. He ran fifty feet fur- ther and finally succeeded in stopping its flight and spoiling its shape with his boot. The test was rext resumed along State | Street. With the hat placed ready for ac- tion the reporter started to cross Madison | street. The wind was blowing from the lake and by simply turning around at a sharp angle the feat was accomplished. Up flew the hat. Ten feet in the air it! sailed and made a curve which would have Gelighted “Old Urcie Anse.” Just then the vigilant eye of a police officer caught sight of it and he took a “swipe” at it with his | club. If he had not it would have struck his face and there would have been more trouble. Persuaded by the clab the hat! changed its course, and with a twirling mo- tion landed in the middle of the stree’ Just as it was bobbing up and down ready to resume its jcurney three newsboys made a rush for it. One of them grabbed tt. The other two tried to get it away from him, and the hat would probably have been torn to pieces had not its owner claimed it in time. “Give us de butt, mister,” said the bey who had hold of the hat, at the same time pointing at the reporter's cigar stump. | ‘The exchange was made. The straw hat was next taken toward Michigan avenue, but before Wabash ave- nue was resyhed off it flew again. Three | men chased after it. Two of them after running half a block gave it up; the third | ore, more persistent, followed fi. On rolled the hat. The reporter was standing on the | corner watching the fun.

What was before a fashion- able hat and the pride of the hour was re- duced to a muddy mass of straw. But it had served a purpose.

As the fortune of war had favored his| larder, through some skillful foraging of | Ephraim, a negro, who was his faithful cook, Dbcdy servant and waiter, Gen., Lee invited several officers to dine with him on Christmas day, 1864, says the Courier-Journal. The lucky recipients of | the timely invitation were five in num- | ber, all officers of distinction, among them Gens. Longstreet, Gordon and Kershaw. They were all on time when the dinner was called. It was served on a rough pine | table, without a cover, in Gen. Lee's weather-beaten tent. It consisted of boiled | cabbage and eight or ten dolled sweet po- | tatoes and a dish of rice cooked dry. The | plece de resistance, which, indeed, the guests found it hard to resist, was a small ; bit of fat bacon, about three inches square, that lay on the top of the large cabbage. Now, bacon was as rare in the confeder- ste camp as are roses on the northern hill- tops in December. You can imagine, there- fore, the self-restraint exercised by each guest as he declined in turn a slice of | the delicate meat proffered by his host, who held the carving knife and fork ready to cut and help. It was observed that when the general, after helping to the cabbage, said to th guest whose plate Ephraim held out, “Ai low me to help you to a slice of the bacon?” the devoted old servitor’s hand trembled {greatly. In fact, he seemed to be in a | state of decided fright. The high military rank of the guests would not account for) his trepidation, for he datly served near 3 | master who outranked them all. There Was no splendor left in the tracery of faded gold lace or their battle-stained uniforms | to dazzle his eyes and cavse them to roll | about and glance from bacon to guest, and from guest to bacon, as each answered |the half question with the words, “No, thank you, general.” The discomposure of the serving man was all the more striking |from its contrest with the serene, self- | poised dignity of his master. | Dinner over, the gereral and his guests | retired from the tent, but as they passed! out Gen. Lee turned and said in a low tone, | “Ephraim, we have another cabbage, have | we not?” | The answer was, “Yes, sir, Mass Bob, | we's got anudder cabbage, sah “Then, Ephraim,” said the general, “save seed piece of bacon to cook with that cab- i The prompt and decisive reply was: “ |sah, Mass Bob, I can’t do dat. i en bomen dat piece of bacon ‘for seasonin’ from a | friend ober dar in Richmon’, and I done OLD-TIME RIVER GAMBLERS Who Fleeced the Passengers om the Mississippi Boats. From the St. Louis Repubiie, There are about twenty of the real old- | time Mississippi river gamblers who linger about Memphis and Vicksburg, and a com- | mon delight of theirs is to relate the glories of gambling on “the river” in the good old days before railroads hemmed in the Miss- issippi up and down each bank from source to mouth. Tom Ellison, now totternig sbout Vicke- burg on warm days, and showing the effects of severe rheumaticm and seventy-two years of age in every movement, is prob- ably the most widely known of any of the old professional river gambiers now living. The tourists from the cold north in this region every winter make a favorite of Tom Ellison, and he recounts to them many a | thrilling tale of the time when he made $10,000 and over in one night and lost it all the succeeding night. “There isn't any more gambling now,” sald Tom ilison the other day, “and no gambiers either. Look at what they call gamblers now—kids, nothing but kids, who haven't got either sense of mafners, There ain't many of us old fellows left, and Xt is har@ scratching most of the tme to make regular connections with meals. The river used to be the place for gambling, but that’s been dead for over twenty years, and I don't guess it'll ever come to life again. But those were the days, my boys— great days for the town, with thirty-six Steamboats all at the wharf at once, the levee covered with drays, and every sport with stuf in his pockets and lots of good clothes. “i guess there was 4 men who worked the boats between here and New Orleans, there's no telling how much money they did pull off the travelers. It was dead essy Money, too, all the time. Every one who traveiod had lows of stuff, and everyone was willing to bet, and bet high; so when @ fellow dai win he won right out of the hole at once. Those southern planters used to lose money just like fun, and were skinned right and left. Occasionally they caught on and there was a shooting match, but the boys didn’t take much chance on being plugged. Fixing the Cards, “It wasn't hard to get acquainted, and it wasn’t hard to get up a game of euchre after a drink. Unce the game was on the thing was smooth; the desler fixed the deck and dealt out a good poker hand to the mark, but a better one to his own part- ner, who promptly declared: gib up my parole ob honor dat I'll gib him back dat same bacon what I borrow.” | The general consented at once to the re- | turn of the bacon. oo GAVE ALL HE KAD. Pat His $37,000 Into a Charch, and Now He is Its Janitor. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. “Denver has the extraordinary instance |of a man who gave his entire fortune to- ward the building of a church and then be- | came its Janitor,” sald William Hi. Graham yesterday. “It is nothing unusual to see| | the man who gave a large donation to the church become a leader in the congrega- tion, but here is a man who gave every cent of the $37,000 he had accumulated and was then content to serve in a lowly posi-/ tion with a small sulary. This is a rare instance of self-sacrifice and particularly | interesting to Pittsburgers, as the ncble man at one period in his life spent his time | between Alliance and this city. “Many years ago there resided in Alliance, Ohio, a’man, who, in order to make a bet- ter living for himself and wife, opened a restaurant in addition to his reg duties | as engineer on the Fort Wayae road be-| | tween Pittsburg and his native towa.

The church proved to | be one of the finest in Denver, and is to this day the pride of the city. “But what was this benevolent man to do? He had given his all to the church, but he must live. He went meskly and asked for the position of janitor. Of course he was accepted, and to this day he is fill- ing that position. But he is no ordinary janitor; he is rather a king in the congrega- tion. He is about seventy years old, and lives in the church. Away up in the belfry which he built he has a comfortable bed | room arranged, and down in the basement he eats his meals. He receives a salary, but every cent that is not required tor his frugal living he gives to the alms fund. I said he is looked upon as a king. On every question which comes up about the church his opinion is asked for and respected. He! 1s content with his life, having made sacrificé of himself and his wealth to the great cause. I doubt if another such in- stance of self-sacrifice can be found in re- cent times.” ——— LOST THE POINT. Even the Best of Stories Mins Fire When Awkwardly Told. From the Chicago Record. Last year while a certain distinguisnea ssnglish jady was traveling in this country | she expressed astonishment at the vast fields of corn presented to her view during | a journey through Indiana and Illinois,and she wondered what the Americans did with the enormous crop. To this a bright young American girl in the party apswered: “We eat what we can, and can what we can’t. The witticism would have been lost upon her ladyship had it not been for the friend- ly offices of others in the party, who, by dint of labor, diagrams, chiseis, &c., tinatiy | got her ladyship to see the point of the joke. Then her jadyship was so pleased | that she put It down in her note book to| spring it upon her friends at home. ‘This | is the way the witticism sounded when it was let loose at one of her ladyship’s din- ner parties: “in America, you know, they have so much maize that they eat what they can and tin what they can’t.” When the Knights Templars journeyed to San Francisco the most felicitous toast offered at their splendid banquet was in these words: “The ladtes—God bless them! what would our knights be without them?” An Englishman present was so delighted with the pleasantry—for the British adore punning—that when he got back to Aus-| tralia he attempted to perpetrate the toast at a local banquet, and he wondered why there was no outbyrst of hilarious applause when he arose ur ly and cried passion- ately: “The ladies—God bless them! what — Knights Templars be without We have all heard of the German who (having been fooled by a joker who pointed to a church steeple and asked: “How is that for high?”) immediately went home, called his wife out into the yard, and, point- ing to the neighboring shot tower, asked, So mirth: “How high vas |& Thrin | her get that far. ‘I've got a good hand I'd like to bet on.” “So have i,’ replied Mr. Mark, and thea they got into betting, and the stranger got skinned right and left.

Chapter From Tenement House Life. | From the Chicago Record. While walking along a West Side street @ man chanced to lift his eyes toward the buildings opposite. What he saw brought him to a standstill, and so great was his sudden terror that there seemed to be a strong hand at his throat choking him. A little child—a baby thing, in white clothes—had crawled out of a third-story window and was standing on the square projecting cap of the window below. All this had happened im less time than it takes to read it, and the man, with presence of mind, was across the street and up the | stairway in another remarkably short time He found the right door, as if by instinct, and opened it softly. With his nerves ate tension of steel wire he tiptoed through hallway. Another door and he was in the right place, for there was the curly head showing above the window sill. Some one clutched him by the arm from behind and he heard a woman's voice: “Here, what do you want?” Sh!
