" If Ernest Thompson. Seton chose , he could write a book on his lectur ing adventures that might prove as interesting , though in a very differ ent Vtiy , as his "Lives of the Ilunt- ed. " The other evening he was stop ped at the theater door by half a dozen ragged boj s , one of whom said : "Say , mister , are you de jay dat talks about de animals ? " "Yes. " "Well , say , won't you give us a pass ? " "How many are there of you ? " "Only eleven" ( others now ap pearing ) . Mr. Thompson Seton called his manager and said : "Pass these eleven boys. " "There's eighteen now , " said the spokesman. "All right ; pass eighteen , " said the man of the beasts , for he never sends a child away if he can help it. During the hour and a half lecture he had no more appreciative hearers than those eighteen newsboys. After it was over he stepped out the back way , and here Avere the eighteen waiting as before. Their spokesman now came for ward and expressed the sentiments of the others in language more forceful than ornithologically cor rect : "Sa } ' , mister , that was great ! You're no jay. You're a bird a reg'lar bird ! " When the Trustees Come. Sometimes when , me an * all the rest Are busy on a sum The teacher says , "Now , look your best Before the trustees come. " An * then she picks up ev'ry scrap An' rubs the blackboard down. An" we just sit with hands in lap , " \Vhen the trustees come aroun' . It seems so awful long to us To sit BO still an' straight , But we Just das'ent make a fuss While they investigate , An' if we even whisper low We see the teacher frown , An' ev'rythins must be just so When the trustees come aroun' . Then Squire Jubb will take his stand An * read from off a card An * ask where did John Cabot land Or something just as hard , An' then he'll ask. one at a time , To write the oceans down , An' you must have your mem'ry prime When the trustees come aroun' . An' while the squire turns his face An' talks on cold an" heat Young Dr. Jones has found a place Beside the teacher's seat. An' she just shows his words confuse An * lets her eyes drop down. But we must mind our "p's" and "q's" When the trustees come aroun' . Victor A. Hermann. Why Ethel Behaved. Ethel used to play a good deal in the school. One day she had been very quiet. She sat up prim and be haved herself so nicely that after the school was over the teacher re marked : "Ethel , my dear , you were a very good girl today. " "Ycs'm. I couldn't help being dood. I dot a stiff neck ! " Earns a Thousand Dollars a Year. One of the pluckiest little busi ness men in the country is Carl Gus- tafson , the son of Charles Gustaf- son , a fireman at the steel mill at New Castle , Pa.Although but thir teen years of age and buti feet 4 inches in height this litilc fellow travels all over the country selling a well known typewriter , drawing a salary of $1,000 a year. The boy has helped support his family since he was nine years old. At the age of twelve he was employed as a mes senger boy by the AYestern Union Telegraph company in Xew Castle. J. H. W. Marriott , superintend ent of agencies of the typewriter company , while in the Western CAKL OUSTAFSON. Union Telegraph office in ] S"ew Cas- .le was attracted by Carl's bright ace and learned upon inquiry some- hing of his history. Learning that he boy had a fancy for machinery , \Ir. \ Marriott took his machine apart md offered Carl 25 cents if he could jut it together again. He succeeded n doing it in less than ten minutes. Mr. Marriott offered to take the boy vith him on his travels. The boy ac cepted , and he became a traveling alesman , going to Baltimore , iNfew fork , Philadelphia , Boston and oth- r places selling the machines. imerican Boy. CONDENSED STORIES. Suggested Name For Sister Goat to the Holy Terror. William. Gillette , the author-actor and playwright , is an enthusiastic boatman. When he was a boy in Hartford , Conn. , when his father was the founder of the suburb of Glenwood , he spent almost all his leisure constructing paddle boats on the Parmington river. "When Gil lette got rich , he built a roomy house boat called the lloly Terror. Cum bersome as the craft was , she had her own motive power , so that her own er could move from one point to an other at will without depending on the exactions of a tugboat captain. One Sunday Gillette stopped on the Hudson , just below Grant's tomb , to fake on some guests. When he started away , the machinery of his Holy Terror got awry , and the houseboat ran amuck through a lot of little catboats and rowboats an chored along shore , tearing away rigging , dories and everything in sight. Gillette stopped to ascertain the damage and make promises to pay. pay."Say , " exclaimed one man who rented boats , "if you are going to build another thing like that I wish you'd name her the Merry Hell. " A Dude's Narrow Eccnpe. Two youths , dressed without re gard to expense ( or fashion ) , strolled up Broadway , Xcw York , one of them twirling a heavy lancewood cane. "Look out ! " cautioned his com panion. "You came near knocking THE CAKE TWIBLiEU GIiANCED BACK AT THE MAN. off the hat of that man we just passed. Carry your cane more care- full } * or you'll get in trouble. " The cane twirler glanced back at the man whose hat he had so nar rowly missed. "I wouldn't have cared if I had knocked it oil' , " he bragged. "I'm pretty good at sizing up a man , and that little fellow wouldn't have last ed half a round against me. Besides , from the look of him any fool could see hewouldn't have sand enough to resent it. " And they passed on , never dream ing of the averted tr ° gcdy. Por thelittle fellow" was Tom Sharkey. Carnegie Amused. Andrew Carnegie is not often a visitor to Wall street , and when he went down there a few weeks ago he passed unobserved down the famous thoroughfare , right into the arms of a runner for a bucket shop. "Come to put up a little money on the rise of the market ? " asked the runner. ' 'Sure thing ; can't lose. Stocks tire going up. I'll show you where you can double your money in half an hour. " "Double all I have ? " asked lr. Carnegie , assuming an air of eager innocence. "How much've you'got ? " inquired the runner. "Oh , a little less than $175,000- 000 , " replied the canny Scotsman simply. "Wh-what ? " gasped the man. "But I am trying to get rid of it , not double it , " went on the iron master. "Why , are you Andrew Carne gie ? " asked the runner. "I am , " said he , going on and chuckling quietly to himself. Xew York World. I Ii The Psge's Pointed Question. Senator Mallory of Florida , bald as a doorknob , sat in the Democratic cloakroom one morning. He called for a page. A boy came in who had a big bunch of hair standing ' straight up from his forehead. "Son , " said the senator , "why ' don't you get that cowlick of vours / w fixed ? You should train it dom , or when you get married it will give your wife a fine place to grab hold of. " "Senator , " asked the boy meekly ; "Is that the way you lost your hair ? ' * Slower Than Philadelphia. A Philadelphia member of the ] state legislature was recently show j ing some Harrisburg friends around 1 ! ' the city hall and took them into j Mayor Ashbridge's room. His j honor made himself very agreeable j to the visitors , as is his wont , and had a hearty "Glad to have met you ! " for them as they were de parting. One of the strangers , much impressed by the mayor's cor diality , lingered long enough to say : "If you're ever up in our town , come to sec me. I'll treat you right. You've never been to Harrisburg , have you ? " "Oh , yes ! " replied the mayor. "I spent two weeks there one after noon. " Philadelphia Times. Pettus as a Speech Writer. When Senator Spooner was fin ishing his Philippine speech , Sena tor Pettus , who is eighty-one , sat steadily writing at his desk for more than an hour , but at the same time apparently listening to what Sena tor Spooner was saying. "What's he writing ? " asked Sen ator Millard of Senator Scott. "Don't know , " replied Scott , "but it seems too long for a letter. " The curiosity of all hands was satisfied soon after , for Mr. Pettus arose , took up the manuscript and read from it. He had been writing an answer to Senator Spooner while listening to him. New York World. Fast Travel. A railroad train has run 149 miles , between Buffalo and Syra cuse , in 145 minutes , including a two minute stop at Rochester. Isn't that just about as fast as any rea sonable person should care to travel ? Will the world be much better oft if it gets electric cars running at the rate of a hundred miles an hour ? As to airships well , nobody knows what they may do at some time in the future. They sail and soar , are not tied to metal trackways , and the wildest imagina tion can sail and soar and roam at will with them up among the clouds. A Witty Convict. George J. Charlton , general pas senger agent of the Alton road , is in receipt of a novel recommenda tion dated at Jolict , 111. : "Five years ago I used your road to Jolict and have not used any other since. " The writer does not sign his name , but jrives his number. His term is o evidently not yet expired. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Miss Maud Trace well is quite sick tvith Typhoid fever. S. F.
