The residents along the rivers choose the gigrging method of capturing the big fish,” beeanse it is the quickest and surest, and it is quantity they want.

The amiable man shook his “head sadly. “No,” ho answered, it is too late, 1 have been married several years.” - Stub Ends of Thought. The woman who loves herself most can marry a man for his myney and be satis- fied. It is not necessary for a woman to mark each year of her life with a wrin- kle. Socioty isa lover of material things, The rich man is happiest who can con- vert his dollars into smiles. Stupidity is as thick as it is long, A merry heart doesn't need a band. Personal cleanliness Is more desirable than riches. A full stomach heart. 1t is not proper for a man to think of himself first, anysmore “han it isto think of himself last, Youth wears a crown of tomorrows, e Origin of & Famitiar Phrase, “The origin of the familiar expression, “acknowledye the corn,” possibly arose from this amusing incident: A raw countrymen went to New Orleans with flatboats, the one laden with corn, the other with potutoes. He visited a gam- bling house, and betting, lost his mone. corn and potatoes. Returning, he found the boat contalning the corn sunk, all a total loss. He lay down and dreampt of “jackpots,” corn and potatoes, and about sunvise the “ehild of chanc who had won his corn and potatoes came to take thew. Rubbing his eyes, the coun- tryman said: “'Stranger, I acknowledge brass maketh a fourless Chiidren Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

According to Seeretary Gresham and everybody else in Washington who has any 4s0n to be informoed on the sub- jeet, Assistant Seerotary of State Quiney has not resigaed his oftice. In eonne tion with the gossip about Mr. Quincy and the appetite he has developed among Massachusetts demoerats for oftice holding, this little story of John Allen’s is told in this ck’s issne of Marshall Cushing's Capital: “'A young man desived a position in the Postoflice department, and applied to his congressman. He was told he could get no place until a vacancy should arvise. He waited for several wecks, and ono day, when Lis money was nearly exhausted, he went down to the Potomae beach. He found there many bathers, and among them a young man whom he recognized as a clork in the division where he had sought a place. The clerk ventured beyond his depth and was drowned. When his body was vrought to the shore the applicant lost not a moment's time in hastening to the congressman fNow, he said, there is a vacancy. “**Where? asked the congressman., **Why, a clerk inthe division (nam- ing him) ‘was dvrowned this afternoon.’ “The congressman looked at him sadly. ‘L regret to inform you,” e said, ‘that you are too late; the flaco has been filled.’ ** “How can that be?’ shouted the ap- plicunt in despair. “The man has just been drowned. “*Yes, I know,’ replied the congress man, ‘but the place has been filled, [t was obtained by & Massuchusetts friend of Mr. Quiney's, who saw the clerk go in, and guessed corvcetly that he could not swim.” " I can have a plac e Explalving the Fizure. an Industries: “What are you readin’ "bout, Eiviry?” askea Farmer Huskins of his wife, who saton the door- step with her glasses on and a paper in her hand. “Bont this eurrenc gress,” she replied. 1 'spose you know all about it by this time,"” Much as most people, T reckon.” she returned.
