Poor Cholly was asinell, He was awarm bal two or three in fact, but he didn't go tochurch that night, for he knew it wouldn't be pleasant, and to tell the truth it was some time before he could rise from the weighty, ambrosial smell that pervaded him, sufficiently to go home, When he erept through the darkened hall the doors began to blow open and’then shut with a bang, A.

Dr. Brooks was called and sliced his head like he would an orange. The flesh was peeled back, the pieces of bone pick- ed out with a hook-li instrument and a piece of tin put over the hole ‘The skin was drawn doctor left, saying ‘that’s a gone negro.’ He wasn’t, though, and that negro walks around here every day, and has still got the tin pan in his head,’’ “L guess it was silver, suggested Attorney Reeves, of tin.’” “Well, maybe it was,”? quoth the Captain, “but I'll be dog if I want any of it in my head as long as 1 have so little in my pocket.’” le * There is one thing that ought to be done in the opinion of great many citizens of Paducah, That is to have the public fire alarm bell taken from the city hall towrr. Everybody knows that it is constantly out of order, and never sounds an alarm, correctly, at least, one time out of five. Oftentimes it affects the city clock, and gets it also out of order. Chief Voight, of the fire department, was asked about this a day or two ago, and replied in substance : “The fact is that the alarm will never be satisfactory until it is taken out of that rickety tower. I have to get it fixed every few days. and sometimes it works well one day and alarm comes in. This is because the tower shakes the machinery out of adjustment. ‘The alarm rang well enough yesterday, and today when an alarm was turned in from Seventh street it rang just twice. Of course] it makes no difference to the fire department. Our alarm = and register are always in good order, and we can always tell what box is having a general alarm bell at all, there isa need of having it work right. It looks proper that a bell should be established in the engine house in- stead of the city hall. The only rea- son it was stationed at the latter place was to save the expense of buy- ing a new bell for both the clock and the fire alarm. But if there is any advantage at all it should be one that does what it is intended to do. An interesting story is told in re- gard to the late millionaire, B. H. Wisdom's sense of humor. A crowd of gentlemen were discuss- ing the question in Mr. L. W. Bos- well’s grocery some time since of legitimate profits, when Mr. Wisdom dropped in, and knowing his famil- iarity with the subject they referred jthe controversy to ment. ‘What is a fair margin of profit?’ he repeated. ‘Well, here is an ex- ample. Years ago I bought some land near Duluth, Ia., for $700. Sometime since I sold it for $41,- 000. hat,” he concluded with a smile, ‘‘was a fair margin of profit."’ Mr. Wisdom was a man of many eccentricities. He was a familiar character about the market house, and had many peculiar ways that had become known to everybody about the market. One was that whenever he saw anything he wanted, he placed it in his basket and held out a hand- ful of change, turning his ‘ther way that the marketer might take whatever he charged. He was cever imposed on, One day he handed a young man a dollar and walked off. The young man called to him that he had ninety cents yet due him, to which he replied, “Well, I'l, come back after it directly.
