American Raises Argument and Bet on a 8uro Thing. In tho old dtiyo, when n Bldo-wheolor on tho Mlsslsfllppl was tho chief way for pcoplo to trnvol who woro doslrous of Rolng south, nn Englishman ho owned a much vrns n passenger on ono of tlioso boats. Whllo en routo ho had frequently been risked by a follow passongor, nn Amerlcnn, to Join In a gnino of cards, but tho phlegmatic Englishman declined tho American's solicitations. Ono day tho Amerlcnn asked tho Englishman to piny a gamo of check ers, and to thlB ho conBonted. After threo or four moves had boon mado tho American Informed his adversary ho had better tuko back tho raovo he had matte, nn ho was suro to boat him. Tho Englishman nt onco was o his high horeo nrid Informed his rival ho would not bo dictated to. Tho Amorlcau replied: "1 did not ntctato to you." "I never said you did. 1 Btntcd I would not ho dictated to." Again ho was met with tho answer: "I did not nictate to you." Thin nngored tho Englishman, who again stated ho would not be dictated to and that there was no such word as nictate. "I'll bet you $5 thero 1b ," said tho Amerlcnn. Tho bet was covered, With cool deliberation the American rullod n dictionary out of his pocket and Bhowcd tho word nictate, meaning "to wink at," Baying: "This 1b tho sov enth $5 bill I havo won on that word 8 8 to day." A Beast of 8uperlor Intelligence. "You may say what you please re garding tho superior Intelligence of tho human animal," remarked Cross cup oratorlcally, "bu' I havo at homo a puppy a common yellow pupp that la far moro clever than some humans. '"lho other evening I carried home a bottle and Joyous anticipations. Tho former I Bought to open with a patent corkscrew. For the first tlmo in Its period of Borvlco the Bcrow broke half tho cork off and on tho second try nuBhaa tho remaining half Into the neck of U10 bottle. "I took It out In tho kitchen and labored with It Tor a while, trying to fasten tho Bpiral or tho acrow Into tho floating cork. Would you believe It? That pup crawled under tho wash tubs at tho exact moment tho cork dropped In and necr showed ao much as tho tip of its noso until 1 fished the bit of cork otft with a rusty hu'.ton hook. Then It came out and congratu lated mc with many wags of tho tall. If Uiat In not superior Intelligence 1 Bhould Hko to know what Is." "Superior to what?" asked Deer lng. Cro3scup oyed him ns ono who would seek to arouse unpleasant mem ories. "My wlfo trlod to advise mo," he said simply. Deerlng, who Is mnrrled also, Bald, "Oh!" Digging Well to Drain a Dog. "An Ingenious Yankee who lives on tho west coast of Honda adopted a novel method to drain a bog on his plantation. Ho put down a four-Inch well In tho mlddlo of his 'bog deop cnougu to tap tho water bearing grav ol. A nlco How of water was encoun tered, which rose In tho well noarly to tho surface. As soon as tho top of tho pipe was pushod down to a level with tho bottom of tho bog, the water in tho pond rushed down Into tho well and passed oft through sub terranean channels. In a fo' hours the bog was drained. Tho land has since been plowed and Is now a valu ablo truck farm. Scientists declare that wet lands In many sections of tho country can bo dralnod by this Blmplo method. Care must bo taken not to permit the well to fill up with rubbish, which might Impede tho Ingress of tho water. Plenty of Raw Material. "Grandpa," said tho children, "toll us another story about tho tlmo when you woro a young mnn and travoled with tho show." ' "Well," said Grandfather Dutton, "when I was with Nixon & Kemp's circus, forty or fifty years ago, ono of my great acts was to get a boy to put an applo on top of his head and then I would stnnd ten paces away and shoot a rifle ball through It." "But didn't you sometimes miss tho applo and shoot the boy?" "Not often, but It happened onco In a while, of course." "What did you do then?" they asked breathlessly. "Do?" said Grandfather Dutton, shrugging his shouldors. "Why, some times I had to wait two or throe min utes before I could find another boy, but not often. Thero aro always plen ty of boys." Dr. Parkhurst and the Immigrant. An English visitor was talking to tho Rev, Charlos H. Parkhurst tho other day about tho recent Tammany victory in tho Now York city election. "I suppose It was duo to the Immi grant vote," said tho Englishman. "That'a how Adam and Evo account ed for It. Isn't It?" replied the doctor. "Thoy said It was ihe fault of tho Im migrant Into tho garden. But if Adam and Evo had been decent people, the immigrant couldn't havo troubled them." Christmas Box. Tho familiar J.erm Christmas box comes from the old-tlmo custom of placing alms-boxes In tho churches Christmas morning to receive dona tions from the congregation for tho benefit of tho poor. As tho alms-were not given out until tho next day, Dec. 20 camo to bo known a3 "Boxing day." Full Line of...
