the managing editor was abont to assign him a place on the staff when, as
if remembering something he had overlooked in examining the applicant, he
suddenly asked:
"By the way, of what college or university are you a graduate?"
"I am not a graduateof any," replied
the young man, "but I know better
than to write 'pants' for. 'trousers,'
'plead' for 'pleaded' and 'he was given
a chance* for 'a chance was given him.'

The little 3-year-old daughter of one
af the leading-ministers in Little Rock
resents   too   great   familiarity.    One
evening, though she seemed a little un-
williug. a young man, who was calling, took her upon his lap, whereupon
she said, with great gravity:
"I want to sit in my own lap."
It is needless to add that the young
man immediately put her down.

Tke Drunken Lieutenant.
The Terrible took a prominent part
In the bombardment of Odessa. Our
second lieutenant, Mr. SM was not a
temperate man. Before the bombardment began he sought for courage in a
square 'faced bottle, and when the
.drum beat to quarters he was in his
cabin in a drunken sleep, from which
he could not be awakened. As I was
midshipman of bis quarters, I bad to
fight his guns. In the evening, when
he came to himself, he was put under
arrest, and we midshipmen speculated
whether he would be shot or hung at
the yardarm. Either would have been
a thrilling episode, but I am not sure
that his fate was not even more tragic.
As soon as the anchor was dropped
in the Golden Horn, off Stamboul, tbe
captain ordered, "Man the second g!g."
We all wondered. Then be said, "Tell
Sir. S. 1 want bim."
Poor S. came up at once, greatly astonished at the summons.
"The second gig is manned, Mr. S.,"
said the skipper sternly and turned
away.
S. took the hint, stepped at once into
the boat and was landed at the nearest
shore. tTrom that day no soul ever
heard what became of him. Whether
he committed suicide, whether he got
other employment (not a difficult matter in those busy times), whether, under another name, be won fer himself
the respect of his fellow men has never been known. — Contemporary Review.
A Cork   Safe. >v*%
•The most curious safe I ever af,n;
said a traveling man, "was a cork one,
and it was made by an ingenious Dutch
mechanic for a one time famous confidence man named Dr. Baggs, who operated in Denver, Salt Lake City audi
Frisco. The safe was a folding affair,
made of paper on a backing of sheet
cork, and, when it was opened up, was
six feet high and looked exactly like
the real thing. As it was always placed
in a corner, it had only two sides,
but every visible detail was complete—
combination knob, hinges, lettering,
bolt heads and all. When folded, it
could be carried in an ordinary dress
suit case. Baggs used the thing in a
fake lottery office whicb was of itself a
marvel of trick furnishing.
"When -the victim entered the place,
it looked like an ordinary business establishment, with desks, railings, maps
on the walls, safe in the corner and
several clerks at work on books. Tbe
instant he left a roll top desk was
opened up into a-Jjed, tlie railing was
folded together and slipped into a closet, a table was transformed into a
washstand, a cabinet turned into a bureau, the safe was put away in its case,,
the curtains were pulled down, and the
room was to all appearances a simple
sleeping apartment. By that means
the poor dupe was never able to find
the place where be had been bunkoed.".

What could be more absurd than the
conventional types of the nations —
those types which we see and accept
almost every day? England ig peculiarly unfortunate. To express onr national characteristics we have a choice
of two figures, either a burly farmer or
a lion. The British lion gets souk
tie support from heraldry, and

never within historical times inhabited
their islands and about which they
know almost nothing.
Considering also tbe chronically depressed state of British agriculture, it
seems an ironical thing that the British nation should be typified by a farmer. If he were a manufacturer or a
merchant or a seaman, there would be
some appropriateness, but tbe stout
eighteenth century John Bull with
whom we are so familiar from allusion
and picture is a being quite unknown
to os in the flesh. He is just a good example of tbe time honored, inaccurate,
conventional type. All vigor and sug-
gestiveness bave long departed from
the figure. But we are too indolent to
replace him.—London Globe.

New York Hospitality.
The hospitality of smaller places is
rare if not unknown in New York.
Hospitality there is different and tends
to be swamped by numbers and even
chilled into an apparent indifference
that is really compelled by circumstances. Often it makes a brave fight
and never wholly gives up, but it is a
struggle against great odds. Not seldom it happens that tbe enormous aggravation of social and intellectual opportunities that confronts country people who come to live in New York so
discourages them that they end in living narrower lives in the great city
and seeing fewer people than in the
smaller town from which they came.
And if it does not discourage them it
is apt to drive them too hard. • A New
Yorker who already had a house-in
town and another In tbe country near
by excused himself for building a third
in New Hampshire by saying: "In
town or near town I never get away
from engagements. I want a place
where I can have some leisure, and
leisure to a New Yorker means, of
course, a chanee to do some work."—

How He Makes Friends.
A Missouri paper says that Senator
Cockrell keeps In closer touch with the
people of his state tban any other man
in the senate. One of bis habits, according to capitol gossip, is to read in
the senate tbe name of every constituent who sends him a petition.
Other senators content themselves
with presenting petitions in an indefinite bunch, and in this impersonal
fashion they are noted in The Congressional Record. Cockrell's way is different, and when Tbe Record appears
there are the names of his constituents, looking very large. Forthwith to
each person thus distinguished goes
a copy of The Record, which is shown
with much pride at the country store
or postoffice, and the voter Is a friend

She Didn't Bny It.
The following story will show tbo
high price that illustrators of reputation command for their work: A young
woman who had received treatment
from Dr. S. Weir Mitcbell of Philadelphia and was very fond of him decided,
at a recent celebration of bis birthday,
that a . fitting and appropriate gift
would be the presentation of one of the
original drawings of Mr. Howard Pyle
for "Hugh Wynne." Forthwith she invaded The Century company's sanctum and, with her fingers tenderly
grasping a new $10 note, asked to buy
tbe drawing. She was informed that
these pictures were never sold unless
exceptions were made in cases where
the artist himself or tbe author wished
to make the purchase.
"Just so," said tbe young woman.
"I wish to present it to Dr. Mitchell."
' "Ah, in that case," said the gentleman at tbe desk, "we shall take pleasure in giving it to you at the exact
price we paid for it, which is 9100."
The little lady in her excitement dropped the $10 bill. The gentleman at the
desk picked it up for her and smiled
while she hurriedly took her departure. The good doctor was presented
with a less appropriate gift that year.—
