Some Bulls.
Last year, in the north of Ireland,
the following came under my observa
tion. In a hotel the porter, for my In
formation and dutifully in furtherance
of the Interests of his employers, re
nun lad, "If you want a drive, sir, you
needn't go out of the hotel," moaning,
of course, that carriages formed part
of the establishment.
Another bull was In a conversation
overheard between two workmen. One
put the quest Ion, "Were you ac
quainted with So-and-so?" to which
the reply was, "No; he was dead he
fore I knew hhn."
An Irish friend of mine was de
scribing a dinner party he had been at.
It was a great success, as two noted

was talking so fast that neither could

Equal to tho Occasion.
The Countess Waldegrave wns mar
rled four times. One evening she ap
peared at the opera In Dublin during
her fourth husband's occupancy of the
post of chief secretary for Ireland.
An audacious Celt, catching sight of
her ladyship In one of the boxes, shout
ed out with real Irish temerity, "Lady
Wulilcgrnve, which of the four did you
like best?"
The countess was equal to the oc
casion. Without a moment's hesitation
she rose from her seat and exclaimed
enthusiastically, "Why, the Irishman,
of' course" a remark which naturally
"brought down the house."
Suggestive.
"Hang It!" growled young Lovctt to
tho girl of his heart. "It makes mo
mad every tl.no I think of that money
I lost today. I certainly feel ns Jf I'd
like to have somebody kick me!"
"Hy the way, Jack," said tho dear
girl dreamily, "don't you think you'd
better Bpcak to father this evening?"

You
Cannot Fall to Appreciate the
Point In This Story.
Once a fanner had 1,800 bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to a single
grain merchant, but to 1,800 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid him In cash, but far tho greater
number said It was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A few
mouths passed ami the man's bank
account ran low. "How; Is this?" lie
said. "My 1.S0O bushels o'f grain should
have kept mo In allluence until another
crop Is raised, but I have parted with
tho grain and have Instead only a vast
number of accounts, so small and scat
tered that I cannot get around and col
lect fast enough to pay expenses.''
So he posted up a public notleu and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. Hut few came. The rest said,
"Mine Is only a small matter, and I
will go and pay one of these days," for
getting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant a large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The mini got to
feeling so bad that ho fell out of bed
and awoke and, running to his gran
ary, found his 1,800 bushels of wheat
still safe there. He had only boon
dreaming.
Moral. The next day tho man went
to the publisher of his paper nml said:
"Here, sir, Is the pay for your paper,
and when next' year's subscription Is
duo you can depend on' mo to pay It
promptly. I stood In the position of nn
editor last night, and I know how It
feels to have one's honestly earned
money scattered fill over the country In
small nmounts." Exchange.
GOLDSMITH'S POVERTY.
Wretched Misery of the Amiable but
Imprudont Author.
Ill n.'S, two years nfter Goldsmith
returned from his wanderings on tho
continent, lie presented himself at Sur
geons' hall for examination as a hos
pital mate, with the view of entering
tho army or navy; but ho suffered the
mortification of being rejected as un
qtialltled. That he might appear bo
fore the examining surgeon suitably
dressed Goldsmith obtnlned a now ,sult
of clothes, for which Grllllths, tho
publisher of the Monthly Review, be-

poso was served, or the debt was to bo
discharged. Poor Goldsmith, having
fulled In his object and probably dis
tressed by urgent want, pawned the
clothes. The publisher threatened, and
Goldsmith replied:
"I know of no misery but a Jail, to
which my own Imprudence and your
letter seem to point. I have seen It
Inevitable these three or four weeks
and, by heavens, request It as a favor
a favor that may prevent something
more fatal. I have been soino years
struggling with a wretched being, with
nil that contempt and Indigence bring
with It, with all those strong passions
which make contempt Insupportable.
What, then, has a Jail that Is formida
ble?" Such was the hopelessness, the deep
despair of this Imprudent but nmlablo
author who has added to the delight ot
millions and to the glory of English
literature.
