ERS The Infliction Which the Man in the Oftice Suffered © | Detroit Free Press An inventor in a tiny office in a | building filled with qffices on Park Row, was visited by a reporter the |other day. The inventor was writ [ing, and » genteel, comfortable-look | ing man was asked to wait a few min utes, The reporter waited with him | for the inventor to finish what he was | writing. Suddenly the door opened, |a boy's head popped a foot through the opening, and in a boy's voice came | the word “Matcheth No,” the inventor said hoe latheth?” the voice inquired 0, the inventor repeated “Thuthpenderth ‘(Get out,” the inventor snapped A moment later the door opened, admitting & man. in scedy | garb and of dejected appearance. He | spoke to the reporter ‘T have here,” said he, taking an umbrella from beneath his over “‘a silk umbrella which is worth but which 1 can sell for half that price. T don't mind telling you that it wos smuguled over on the French steamer—-" T don't want it,” said the reporter, STl call it 82, T am very poor— ‘I really don't want it." “Don't you hear him! | from the inventor, “Won't either of you men-—— W Get out!” gentle no, no, Get out, will you?” | the inventor said savagely. “T'll make it §1.50,"” the umbrella man said to the reporter as he halted at the door. “‘Contound those people,” the in- ventor said, dropping Bis pen; “it's enough to drive a man crazy to have to sit here half a day. Why, there isn t half an hour —no, nor a quarter | of an hour, that- g “Thoap, three caketh for ten thenth, " said a basket-laden boy from the door sill The reporter pushed the door shut, the genteel man nodded approvingly, and the inventor, with a wearied look, returned to his writing. For five minutes nothing but the scratching of his pen disturbed the quiet of the room. Thena business-like man, who said he was canvassing for a business directory, came in, asked a few ques- tions, took down a few notes with his pencil, sought to convince the inven- tor that it was worth 83 to have his name in ‘‘caps” in the book free of | cost in the bargain. “T wouid like to show you,” said a man who had entered during the can vasser's argument, ‘‘a few cut glass bottles of genuineattar of roses. They | are slightly demaged, and T offer them ’ said the in- ventor, in a frenzy, “I'll kill both of you internal ruilians if you don’t quit this oftice in one minute."” This is not literally what the in- ventor said, for the reporter has con densed a long outburst of wrath and left only a soft intimation of the in- genious, unique and ferocious expres- sions to which the troubled man gave vent, Another period of quiet cnsued, and the inventor, becoming ca'm, seomed to get on rapidly with his writing. The genteel man drummed on his teeth with the finger-nails of one hand, and the reporter became 1apt in the study of a diagram that was framed and hanging on the wall, and that seemed from one point of view to represent the interior of a clock tower, and from another to be a sectional view of a pump. Again the door opened, and again a boy and a basket appeared. This time the query concerned feather dus- ters. A few minutes later a man from the next office requested the in- ventor to ‘‘step around and witness a signature— just one moment,” and when the inventor was gone an oftice boy dropped in to see if he could bor- row a railroad guide, ‘‘Now,” saia the inventor, upon his return, “I'll not detain you, gentle- men, any longer. If you will pardon me, I'll ask you to shorten your busi- ness with me, and then I'll lock the door, finish my task, and go homo. T am too poor to hire an office with an inner room for myself and a trained bulldog or 2 pugilist at the outer door, and 1 am not enough of an inventor to conceal the acts of bloodshed that would result from my remaining here any length of time. All I can fi;’ is to keep away as much as possi- e, “It's too bad,” the genteel man said. “T'oo bad?" shouted the inventor; “it's monstrous; it's atrocious; it's diabolicrl; excuse me, gentlemen, but i'ts simply damnable! To-day I've come here to write a letter. I've been at it four hours, and it is not half done. T've had a rush of busi- ness ever since I came here. Let me tell you who's been here. I re- collect four match, soap and brush boys, a blind man with brooms, a girl with flowers, a young woman with no parents and a subscription list for a re- ligious wusklf, & scoundrel with cab- bage leaves that he called smuggled cigars, a miscreant with Christmas cards, a tramp who wanted money for a drink, an apple woman, a fraud with & grease extractor, a Sister of Charit; to whom 1 gave a quarter, a man seli- ing stencils for marking linen, a man who kindly offered to supply my fam- ily with milk in patent bottles at twelve cents a quart, a fellow with weather strips, a boy for my directory who has not yet returned my scis- sorg—-—"" ‘It must be perfect torture,” said the other. “‘Well, I won't trouble you with my woes. What can I do for you!" the inventor asked. ‘‘Well,” said the genteel man, “you make diagrams and sketches, don't you?” “‘Yes, but notas a business,” the inventor said: “‘I could do it for you, “}\'u,‘mml the genteel man. *‘1 don’t want you to, My ides was to It is called the draughtman’s shading pen, and is without question superior to anything ever offered before,” The inventor's face wore a look of lmm. He appeared to teel as if he had been taken in by the genteel man , | only strife seoms now to be, who can U b 'l'lll:ll.\‘D.\ think T could stand one more o the | list to-day. ! “‘No,"” replied the newspaper man “1 am a reporter, and T want tc ‘ know—— “Good heaven! reporter He had been so fatigued by | cossant tax upon his time by peddler: | and salesman that he seem moment to be displeased with the re portet’s visit he exclaime a | } A Woell-known Wit's Endorse- ment. | Crcaco, I, May 30, 1881 | H.

Harnis, “Carl Pretzol | j80-1w il T Nance County Lesder It is gratifying to see wit united harmony the people of al of Nance county are pulling tog for a common purpose, to-wit advancement and development « wealth and general interest of ul Past differences and feuds have : fully been lost sight of, and the | plo from all sections and localities, meet on a common plane, and the work the best, or best agrees as to the wisest measures and plans to promote | the common welfare of the people. A healthier state of affairs could not woll exist in any county than does to- | day in ours, And by persistently pursuing this wise policy of harmony and united effort, the future of Nance county is ono of brightest promise, and she will, in the near future, take her position in the foremost rank for wealth and influence among the older and wealthier counties of our state, We are proud that we are a citizen of Nance county, and our ambition is to be a co-worker wich our fellow citi zens, in bringing her to that standard of prominence to which she is des tined, and which she is sure to Her rich valleys and unduls prairies, are but just beginning to at- tract attention abroad. The influx of immigration and capital is beyond the expectaticn of the most sanguine. Aud when we consider the hidden wealth and treasure that lie concealed beneath the surface of our soil, the mine of wealth in the nutricious grasses that so bountifully spring forth from that rich, deep soil, it is diflicult, indeed impossible to foretell the future prosperity and greatness of our lovely county, or the wealth of her inhabi tants. A bright future is in store for us. “‘So mote it be.’ Mrs. Partington Says Don't take any of the quack rostrums, as they are regimental to the human cistern: but put your trust in Hop Bitters, which will cure general dilapi dation, costive habits and all comic diseases.

By George! How time flies! Why, I had no idea of it.” “Yes, we have been married almost worty long years,” she continued with something of a sigh. ‘You have been a good husband to me, darling.” ‘“‘Ana you have been a blessed lit- tle wife to me, Susan. Come here till I kiss you.

Well, T'd like to know of a worse one. He didn't know enough to chew putty, and then you were as good us engaged to him.” ““Yes, George, but you know you were keeping company at the same time with that Helen Perkins,” “That Helen Perkins/ Wasn't Miss Perkius one of the loveliest and prettiest young ladies in Liverpool?’ “No, she wasn't!

I believe you are sorzy because you didn’t marry Drace!” ‘“‘And I know you are sorry because you didn’t marry that besutiful and accomplished Miss Perkins!" “Iam, eh? T thought you said I hadbeen a good husband to you?” ““And didn't you call me your blessed little wife?” Then he plumped down and began to read the mortgage sales and adver- tisements in the paper, and she picked up her sewing and gave the cat a gontle kick, These old things will come up now and then, and somehow neither side gets entirely over them. —Detroit Free Press, —— WORTHY OF PRAISE, As arule we do not recommend patent medicines, but when we know of one that really is a public benefac tor, and does positively cure, then we cdnsider it our duty to impart that in- formation to all, flluclnu bitters are truly a most valuable medicine, and will surely cure Biliousnoss, Foyer and Ague, Stomach, Liver and Kidney complaints, even where all other rem- edies fail.
