Pretty soon the old man strolled out that-way ‘and when he came up to where I was, said in a quiet way: ‘I never had any money to burn.’ I didn’t tumble for a secund, and he stood there looking at me. ‘I have managed to put away a few dollars,’ he continued, ‘but I never had any money to burn.’ It came to me all at once what he meant and I threw the cigar away. Next morning when he came around there I wasn’t smoking, He came up with a smile on his face and said: ‘Well, the stove isn’t going to-day.’"—Columbus (0.) State Journal. 5 TOO EARNEST IN H!IS WORK. Old Colored Man’s Humorous Warn- ; ing to His Employer. A southern member of Congress who lives in a Washington hotel has for his personal attendant an oid col- ered man to whom he is much attach- ed, The negro, by virtue of long servi- tude, has come te authority over employer. The Congressman was visited by some | friends the other evening the host offc them a drink of w ing he was abcut to take one himself, hoping to break up a cold. The party took three or four drinks, and the jug was about to be passed the negro servant made things very embarrassing to the host by saying: “Deed, sah, you said you was a-takin’ this yer whis to break up a cold. *Pears like they was tryin’ to break up ; a hull winte Wants State to Feed Legislators. Representative Louis J. Tichacek of St. Louis will introduce a bill in the legislature providing that the state shall furnish its legislaters with rooms and board during their stay in Jefferson city. Mr. Tichacek says he is tired of rabbit pie and tough beef- steak and that as things are now a, man who lives in decent shape during | the legislative session can hardly meet his expenses. He wants the legislature to appropriate $50,000 for the establishment of a hotel, which could be used by members during the session and ty state officials at other times. “Then,” says he, “if the boarding house fails to supply stan- dard grub the state can be held re- sponsible.” Chicago’s Centennia!. The Chicago Historical society, tarough its executive committee, has expressed in favor of the commemor- ation and celebration on Aug. 1, 1903, as the centennia! anniversary of the founding of Chicago. Resolutions were adopted in which the committee calls attention to the fact trat the date chosen marks the passage of one hun- dred years since the Federal troops, commanded by Lieut. Swearingen, es- tablished Ft. Dearborn at the mouth | of the Chicago river and laid the foun- dation, of Chicago. The occasion, in the opinion of the committee, marks the real beginning of the city’s his- tory, rather than the arrival of John Kinzie, ag has been suggested. Mountaineer’s Harsh Judgment.» Bishop Coleman of Delaware goes on a tramp through the mountains of West Virginia every summer and, of course, has many odd experiences. Last summer, clad in old and dust- covered clothes, he entéred_ an inn where several mountaineer; sat. talk- ing. One of them with charactéristic hospitality invited him to take a drink, but the bishop courteously de- clined. “Do you eat hay?” said the native. “Why, no, my friend,” said the stranger wonderingly. said the mountaineer with scorn, “I don’t think you are fit company for man or beast. Come, boys, let’s take something.” Friends Thought Him Dead. Ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio has been visiting Washington and was surprised to find that nearly every- body thought him dead. A Joseph H. Outhwaite of Qhio died recently, and newspapers generally announced that it was the fo gress who had departed the land of the living. “Fifty times during the past ten days,” said Mr. Outhwaite, “I have seen a startled look come into the eyes of acquaintances when I met them. ‘Great Scott, ma ,” Paid Bridesmaids. At a recent wedding held in New York there were no fewer than fifteen pridesmaids, who were all punctually paid. Besides the beautiful toilettes, given by the bride’s father, they each received $25 for appearing in the wed- ding train. Some of the you ladies receive as much as $100 fo: “office of honor,” while one woman, who is auch sought aft appeared as bridesmaid at more than 200 weddings, and has in a short time amassed quite a little fortune, besides receiving many costly presents. [Sd RES Novels Read by Statesmen. Senator Platt of Connecticut hap- pened into a house committee room and found Congressman Metcalfe of . Galifornia reading. “A novel?” quer- fed the Yankee gravely. “Yes.” “Say, Metcalfe, do you like detective stories —the one with villians in ’em?” The Californian showed him the title page of the book he had been perusing. It wasaregular “Old Sleuth” affair. “So do I,” said Platt, and then the two en began to discuss this par ticular brand of literature. : Ma MONEY TO BURN.

X Wonderful Accomplishment to Which i the Mind Was Trained. Some light is thrown on the possi * pilities of memory culture by,an inter esting recital contaiued in the auto biography of Robert Houdin, the famous cenjurer. He taught his. son to glance. at, say, a shop window and | to memorize accurately, as.in a brain ' picture, the window's contents. Then _ he would ask him to describe the con- | tents, checking and correcting him as | he went on. On one occasion Houdin |-was commanded to the Tuileries to | give a performance before the French court. As he passed through an ante- | | i room to the salon he bade his son to note the arrangement of the reoms and the contents of the bookcases. Then at the close of the entertain- ment Houdin astonished his audience by giving what he called a “secord- sight” test. Declaring his unfamil- farity with “the Tuilieries, Houdin, blindfoldingy his son, askedg him to | , send his gaze through the wall of the room to the chamber beyond, to de- scribe the arrangement of the oham- ber and to read the titles of the vol- umes on the shelves cf the bookcases. This feat the young lad accomplished, to the asteniskment of the court. | MUST HAVE BEEN A SHOCK. | Remarkable Effect of Change Newspaper Headlines. Capt. Edgar S$.

A talk- ing chimpanzee would make an excel- | lent living, even though, like many | other talkers, it said nothing wor bearing: Turned On the Light. The man Calve is reported to have selected for her first husband and sec { ond love is Jules Bois, an interesting writer on occult topics. His one-act play, “The Devil in Darkness,” was given only one performance at Mont- | martre. It was played in total dark- ness, voices of different timbre speak- ing solemnly a dialogue that quite transcended in mystic realism any- thing Paris had ever heard before. Unluekily for Bois, some envious rival | bribed the gas man to turn on the lights in the middle of the act, and a | chalf-dazen commonplace Montmartre + singers of both sexes. were discovered | sitting on wooden ‘chairs, ail of them grinning over the misadventure. Af- ter that Jules Bois gave up the stage in despair. The irishm. n and the Sun. | An Irishman who had just landed in | New York from his home in Ireland | was stroiling around the city, taking in the sights. Im the course of his walk he came across Bittery park, | and seeing a bench unoccupied near | the water front, sat down. It was | just about sunset when the Celt took his seat in the park snd as he gazed | across the water at Governor's island | the big guns at that place boomed, announcing sunset. Now, this noise was new to the Irishman, and he said to a policeman sho was passing by: “Phat’s thot noise fur?” “Aw, it’s the sun goin’ down,” r plied the officer. “Begobs,” remarked the Celt, the { sun nivir went down thot hard in fre- land.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. Herring Cleaned by Machine. Very clever is 2 Swedish iaventor named Ekenberg, who has construct- ed a machine which takes herrings as they come from the net, sorts them into the four sizes recognized by the trade, scrapes off their scales, cuts off their heads, splits,. cleans and i washes them inside and out. The | machine does all this automatically, | and turns out 20,000 herrings per | | hour. One of the big floating herring | factories which go ont from Goteberg to the herring banks is to be equipped wiih this astonishing apparatus, which ought to effect a revolution in | the price of bloaters.
