SHOWED HE COULD RUN.
Although th§ PWnt Huy rv tin th6 FpIn
tht Other V/i%s Happy.
First in is the winner always, sure
enough. That the best man in pluck
or brains doesn't nlwavs get first
place in the competitions of the world
Is a generally aceeple-1 fact, while
the merits per ae of wind or muscle
in reaching the front rank cannot be
disputed.
One little boy forgo t this distino
tion the other day and remained
blissfully happy in consequence. It
was at a traveling circus, one of those
one-night stands where they fill out
the show by an act or two made up of
local effort, running, bowling or spar
ring for some prize by members of
the audience, and whe re, before the
seats have time to be cleared after
the performance, they begin to haul
the poles from under the teats.
A race for small boys for a 25-eent
prize was to be run, and a chubby,
well-groomed lad of 8 pleaded
with his father and mother to
allow hipi to run. The other boys
were bigger and shabbier boys, and
the father only consented after long
pleading and hesitation.
Ha ran like a little man and “Two
to one on the little chap!’’ shonted
from all aides spurred him on to
excited effort He threw his little
cnrly head up and stuffed his chubby
flsta into his trouser’s pookets, just to
show that he felt 'twas all as easy as
fun, and if he won the 25 cents it
wouldn’t be after any tremendous
exertion. But a fe w years and short
legs, as was natural, fell behind, and
when a raw-boned lad of about 8
gripped the post and claimed the
quarter the little chap was three
rounds behind.
He wasn’t thrown down about it.
His head kept up and hiB eyes gleam
ed and he ste pped back to his seat,
his fis ts still thrust independently in
his pockets and with an air of actual
conquest.
“I told you I could run.” he said.
“You see I did run the best. Every
body eaye I did, only—the first boy
won.”
WEALTH GOINO TO WOMEN.
Bteomlnt Mar* Nam«rou« u Stock
holders ia Kastern Factories.
In a large number of manufactur
ing concerns in Massachusetts, the
affairs of which are covered by the
latest report of the state bureau of
labor statistics, th ere were 43,803
partners or stockholders in 1893,
against 42,735 in 1892. The number
of males included in the total for the
latter year was greater, however,
than that which was covered by the
larger figures for 1893. There were
27,385 male partners or stockholders
in 1892, and 27,211 in 1893. On the
other hand, the number of women
who had an interest in the manufac
tories dealt with by the report was
16,592 in 1983 against 15,410 in the
year preceding. The partners or
stockholders were 63.91 per cent
males in 1892 and 27.56 per cent fe
males. In 1893 the proportions were
28.38 per cent of fern ales and 62.12
per cent of males. The change thus
shown to have taken place in one
year is a curious hin t of the tendency
of the times to place more and more
of the property of the world, and es
pecially of the United States, in the
possession of women. It looks as if
the weaker sex, which mast bold its
goods and chattels in a sense by vir
tue of the forbearance of the stronger,
were destined to become the moneyed
part of the human family.
■SWITCHED
Was HI* Trait/ a an, a* Old ftraa
Tkniht
It happened om autumn that a
farmer, Bill Hawkins by name, had
gone to one of the numerous husking
bees, taking his gun. Placing it in a
corner he proceeded to mix with the
crowd and have a good time geqer
ally. Of course, refreshments were
served, and Bill was feeling happy
when the party broke up.
Taking up his gun, he started on
his way home, singing. Suddenly the
gun went off with a loud report. lie
was startled, as he couldn’t remember
having loaded the weapon. He con
tinued his journey and his song, but
just as he reached the end of a verse
another report rent the night air.
With a look of surprise, on his face he
examined the gun, but could find no
cause for its unusual conduct. After
this the gun punctuated his remarks
and songs with reports that increased
in loudness every time.
Bill began to get nervous and was
carying his gun gingerly in his hand,
when, with a terrific roar, the gun
again exploded. He jumped into the
air, and,dropping the gun with a wild
yell, broke into his swiftest run and
never stopped until safe at home and
in bed, where he remained shaking
with fear all night.
A few days later, while relating his
experience to a crowd of men hanging
around the store, he noticed a grin on
the faoes of his audience. Demanding
an explanation, the mystery was Boon
solved. Some jokers had taken his
gun and put in a big oharge of pow
der and then a thin slice of punk,
then a smaller charge and another
slice of punk, and so on until the gun
was full, and just before Bill started
for home they lighted the last piece
of punk. As Bill listened an expres
sion of deep disgust spread over his
face.
HE WAS A PLUMBER.
Though His First Trader for a Job Did
Hot Look Encouraging.
"The plumber joke is worked to
death, but I will tell you one any
how, just because it is true,” began a
friend. "The young woman that
figures in the story was sprinkling
the street and used a hose that was
sadly in need of repair. An itinerant
plumber came along with a kit of
tools slung over his shoulder. He
asked the young woman if she wanted
the hose fixed.
“ ‘What will you charge?' she
answered.
“ ‘The man looked at the hose
critically and then said he would re
pair it for fifteen cents. This was
contrary to all traditions relating to
plumbers’ prices, so the young woman
told the man she did not believe he
was what he represented himself
to be.
“ ‘Still,’ she said, "go ahead and fix
the hose.’
“The man took out his tools and
soon had the hose nearly as good as
new. The miss gave the man fifteen
cents. He shook his head and said ho
wanted forty-five.
‘“Why,’ said the young woman In
surprise, ‘you said you would do the
work for fifteen cents.’
“ ‘Yes, I know,’ he returned, ‘but
there was more work than I thought.’
“Well, I was afraid you wasn't a
plumber when you first came up, but
now I know you are, and am willing
to give you a certificate to that ef
fect,’ was what the young woman
said when she gave the man his pay.”
ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.
A Hu’s Bolt Effort to DeserBw How *
Lad/ Wm Droned.
While I was stopping at a friend's
house the other day her husband came
home, and before he had taken off his
coat and hat he exclaimed:
"Well, I wish you could have seen
the woman I saw to-day!"
“Why, was she pretty?” we both
asked.
“Pretty? Well, I should say so, and
she had the neatest little suit you
ever saw. By Jove! I wish you could
get something that looked like that
once in awhile,” he said, turning to
his wife.
“Well, tell us what it was like, and
maybe I can,” she observed.
“Oh, I can’t tell you just what it
was like, but it had those things over
the shoulders like your purple dress.”
“Do you mean ruffles?” interrupted
his wife.
“Yes, I guess they are ruffles. It
had a skirt of peculiar color, and the
basque was a sortof green. She wore
a coat or something like most women
wear, and a hat with ribbon over it.
She looked stunning, I teU you1"
And his wife murmured: “I should
think so.”
False Eyelashes.
It was the Parisian women who were
accredited two or three years ago with
the objectionable practice of injecting
perfume under the skin, by which the
very blood became aromatic, and now
to them is ascribed another process
less objectionable, perhaps, but still
very questionable. It is a method by
which false eyelashes may be made.
A fine needle threaded with dark hair
is drawn through £he skin of the eye
lid, forming long loops, anti, after the
qpertion is over—which it is said is
painless—there remaing a beautiful
fringe to veil the wearer’s eyes.
Strange Coincidence.
Six years ago George Bla*.sdell of
Montezuma, N. Y., while at a funeral,
dropped dead in Port Byron cemetery.
Three years ago a brother of Blais
dell’s widow, while walking in the
same cemetery, dropped dead near
Blaisdell’s grave. The other day Mrs.
Blaisdell went to the cemetery to
order work done on the lot where her
husband and brother were buried,
and, while talking with the superin
tendent, dropped suddenly to the
ground and died alsaost lusts fatly.

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
A Chicago Railroader Who Can Re
member Car Numbers.
"Memory is a gift that seems to be
very unevenly distributed,*’ said G. L.
Blackwell, a Chicago railroad official.
“We have a man in the employ of our
road who is blessed with the most
wonderful memory I ever heard of.
It is the duty of this man to keep ac
count of the different cars as they
come into the yard. When a train
whistles he steps out on the platform,
without either book or pencil,
and takes a mental note of the
cars as they go by. If any one
happens to be standing near him
at the time he is thus engaged he
does not hesitate to ent^r into con
versation with him, and when the
train has passed he steps back into
the office and makes a complete and
accurate record of the train, begin
ning at the first car and ending with
the caboose. Sometimes, just to test
his ability, the men would get him to'
begin at the caboose and write the
numbers the other way, or else begin
in the middle of the train and work
both waya In any case he never has
made a mistake that I know of. Car
numbers, the names of the roads to
which they belong and their relative
positions in the train would always
be recorded accurately.
THE BISHOP’S CIGARS.
He Smoked the Before, After and
Brotherly Brandt.
A man in clerical garb and with a
handsome face walked along a Chi
cago street, looking at the show
windows until he came to one which
contained cigars and pipes, and such
stock as a cigar dealer would display.
The man in clerical garb and with a
handsome face walked into the cigar
store. He examined several brands
and bought several. After the
purchase the cigar man said to one of
his loungers:
' “That’s Bishop-, of- church.
He thinks I don’t know what he is up
to. I have a friend who knows the
bishop's home life, and he told me
about him and his cigars. Now he
bought three brands here. One was
very light, the second very heavy and
the third is a cigar that you or I
wouldn’t buy unless we had to. I am
told that the bishop calls them his
‘before,’ ‘after’ and ‘brotherly.’ The
first he smokes just before he goes at
his ecclesiastical work, whatever it
may be; the second he puffs leisurely
after his'work is over and the third he
gives to the visiting clergy who like
to smoke. So you see the old yarn
about carrying two kinds of chewing
tobacco has a counterpart in high
life.’’
Right Arm Paralyzed!
Saved from St. Vitus Dance.
"Our daughter, Blanche, now fif
teen years of age, had been terribly
afflicted with nervousness, and had
lost the entire use of her right arm.
We feared St. Vitus dance, and tried
the best physicians, with no benefit.
She has taken three bottles of Dr.
Miles’ Nervine and ha3 gained 31
pounds. Ilcr nervousness and symp
toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely
gone, she attends school regularly,
and has recovered complete use of
her arm, her appetite is splendid.” |
