An Erratic Writer.
When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a
small salariod clerk in George W.
Carlebm’s book store on Broadway, Fitz
James O’Brien was in the habit of
dropping in to see him, and one day
came in rather more than half seas
over. Aldrich decided to take him
across the street to a hotel and put him
to bod. Cautiously and carefully he led
O’Brien, but beforo ho bad got half
way across a frieud stopped him and
asked: “Why do you want to bother
with the fellow. Let him go.” “I will
not,” retried Aldrich. “Ho borrowed a
dollar from me a few days ago, and I
can’t afford to let anything happen to
him.”
At another time, when ho was not
strictly sober, O’Brien fonnd himself
out of funds. He wandered into a pub
lisher’s office and asked for $25. This
was refused him. Angrily seizing a
placard O’Brien reversed it and made
in big letters on the blank side: “One
of ——-'s authors. I am starving." Ty
ing a string to the card, O’Brien placed
it around his neck and paraded up and
down the street, to the great amuse
ment of a large crowd. Ho was of
course requested to desist, bnt nothing
stopped his mad course until a $0 bill
was presented to him as a compromise.

The Devil Tree.
The devil, dragon or octopus tree/as
it is variously called in the different
stories told of it, is one of those travel
ers’ myths which by diut of repetition
have worked their way into public be
lief. The man eating or devil tree is,
aocording to the story, a huge plant
somewhat resembling a palm, save thut
the central fronds are provided with
8barp teeth, which, when the leaves
are folded over toward the center, grasp
with a death grip the man or animal
unfortunate enough to be inclosed with
in. In some of the stories this tree is
also provided with long arms, wbioh
reach out and seize unwary travelers,
raise their bodies in the air and drop
them into the center of the circle of
devouring leaves.
It is hardly necessary to say that
there is no such tree and that the story
has its origin in the dangers of travers
ing a tropical thicket, where travelers
have received serious injuries from fall
ing over vines and among thorny plants,
Where men are frequently attacked and
killed by serpents. The devil tree is lo
cated by various story tellers in Borneo,
in Sumttra and in the forest recesses of
Other tropical islands, and whenever
inquiry is made for it it is to be found
somewhere else.—St Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat.
A Panama Hat,
“The life of a panama hat—that ia,
If it ia a good one to start with,” re
marked an admirer of that style of head
gear, “compares somewhat with the
life of the owner of it. One cun run
through either in a hurry or hang on
for a long time if it is desired. If care
fully kept, a panama hat should last
all the way from 10 to 40 years. 1
know a gentleman who resides in east
Washington who has owned and steadi
ly worn daring the summer mouths a
panama hut for nearly 40 years. It has
been bleached every couple of ycurs
ainoe and retrimmed and relined, and it
la today to all intents and purposes a*
good as wbeu I first saw it SO years ago.
“1 know of another panama hat, now
worn by a physician in this uity, which
baa had almost as long a life. Long l<e
fore be got it his father wore it. 1 know
dozens of them which have been in use
from 10 to 20 years. The lining wears
out, but the body of the hat keeps good.
Of course care has to be used to keep
them such a h ug time, hut the panama
Itself la almost indestructible. The
original coat of the bats that I refer to
was not exorbitant, none of them coal
ing over |14.“— Washington Mar
