HAD A RAT TRAP.
Ant He Made a Mistake in Wnklns Up it
Passenger.
It was on oner of tho sound steamers
coming down tho other day. A man of
middle ago and much dignity had fallen
asleep In his rocking chnlr on tho promo
nado deck, when lie was approached by
a sharp nosed, hawk eyed man of 40,
who had a parcel In' his hand.
"Hey youl" ho exclaimed as ho slap
ped tho sleeping man on tho shoulder.
"Sir! How daro youl" sternly de
manded tho latter, as ho roused up.
"I haven't dono anything that I can bo
sent to state prison for, have I?"
"What is your business with mo, sir?"
"That's bettor. That's coming to the
point. Let mo draw Up a chnlr and take
it easy as wo chat. You told mo at
Stonington that you thought you would
order twelve dozen as a starter. Suppose
you double the' order and tako 10 per
cent, discount?"
"Sirt What are you talking about, and
who do you tako mo for?" demanded the
man.
;'Your name is is Faxon firm of
Faxon & Brown, dealers in hardware,
IsuHlt?"
"No, slrl"
"Whatl Why, I'd beta farm agin a
wheelbarrow that it wasl Didn't we
haTe a conversation at Stonington?"
"No, slrl"
"Didn't I show you my centennial rat
trap and exhibit its workings?"
No, sir!"
"Didn't demonstrate the fact that it
would catch and hold anything from a
mouso to a raccoon, and that the public
was bound to buy millions of 'em?"
"Sir! Do you intend to insult mo?"
chouted the other.
"Not for Joseph. I nover Insulted no
body. It's curious if I havo mado ,a mis
take, Didn't you spend half an hour
yesterday investigating my anti-friction,
doublo leverage, onti-cogless centennial
rat trap, warranted to clean out a whole
county of rats, mice, chipmunks, go
phers and rabbits inside of ten days, or
no pay?"
"No, sir! No, sir!"
"Well, that's queer! I'd take my affl
davy it was you. And you'didn't order
twelve dozen, to be shipped the first e'f
tho week?"
."Never! You ought to havo more
sense and manners, sir! Go away about
your business!"
"My business is to "sell tho centennial
rat trap only tiling over, invented to en
tice rats without bait; jio delicate ma
chinery to get out of order; no cost for
eteam power to.run it. If I have made
a mistake I beg your pardon."
"Then go away, sir go away beforo I
forget my position and do you injury I"
"You wouldn't injure a feller for
wanting to sell you a rat trap' which lays
over all other inventions in America,
would you? If you ain't the man who
ordered tho twelve dozen, you may want
to give mo an order just the same, I
will snow you how it "works."
"No, you won't! Go away,Bir go, or
Fll do you harm! You are tho most Im
pudent rascal I've met in a yearl"
"Ana you won't look at my trap?"
"No, slrl"
"And you want mo to leave you in
solitude?!' i
"At once, sirl"
"Well, I'll da it. Some folks force
their inventions upon tho public. That
ain't my style. My centennial rat trap
speaks for itself. I go, sir; but I leave
my card. Peruse It at your leisure. All
mail will reach mo promptly at that
address. Send you a dozen on trial, or
give a discount of 5 per cent, on all over
three dozen. Send in your order as early
as possible, as tho season is forward, Au
revoir, sir." New York Sun.

The general manager of our mill is
ono of tho road commissioners of this
county, and tho duty of keeping tho
public roads worked devolves upon him
In this district. Instead of makincr the
employes of his mill go out and work the
highways ho hires it dono and collects
from each man his pro rata share of tho
cost.
Among tho men is an old darky and
his son, a strapping buck of great mus
cular powers. A few dayB since tho col
lection for road tax was in order, and
tho necessary amount was deducted from
each man's time; among them this old
darky and his son. The next day I was
waited on by the old man, who said:
"1J08S, diden yo tek out tax fer Mun-
roe?"
"I did," I replied.
"Well, dat's wrong, sah. 'kase ho ain't
ols 'nough ter wu'k de road."
"How old is he?"
"Jes' a turnin' 15."
"Well, you'll have to see the ceneral
manager about It," I said, "for I cannot
refund it without his orders."
That night ho came again and the
manager was present.
"You say your boy Is not old onoueh
to work tho roads?" ho asked, after the
situation was explained to him.
"Yes, sah."
"How much do we pay Monroe?" asked
the manager, turning to me.
"Men's wages," I replied.
"Then, if he is not old enough to work
the roads he is not old enough to do a
man's work on the yard, so you may
glvo back tho tax collected from him
and also make his pay in the future just
nair wliat it is now that is, tho reg
ular boy's wages."
ine old negro looked dumfounded at
tho consequence of his speech, but, turn
ing to tho general manager, he said:
" Yo' need'n mind 'bout cibin' dat back,
boss, jes let hit go 'long lak hit bin
goiu', an' ef dat no count rascal ebber
kick 'bout sech a matter ergin I'll lick
de hide offen him; I tole him hit 'uz rite,
but deso hyar new f angled niggers knoes
mo'on enny body else. Good nite, sah.

A friend recently lold mo that he had
learned where they draw the dividing
line between the upper and lower crusts
of Ballston society. A resident of that
vlllago was showing liim "tho sights."
At the corner of two wooded lanes was
the foundation of a house. It was a
stono foundation; but grass had begun
to cover it, and it looked as if it were
nover to serve its intended purpose. Noxt
to it stood a pretty cottage. "A barber
lives In that house," remarked that Ball
stoniau, pointing to tho cottage.
'He evidenUy made it pay," was my
f riend s comment.
"And tho man who was going to build
there, continued the Ballstonian, point
ing to tho abandoned foundation, "gave
it up as soon as ho heard that tho barber
had bought tlio lot next to him and was
going to build there."
"And what is the business of the great
man who couldn't bear tho thought of

For every shooting star ha claimed a kiss ;
She, seeming coy, at first demurred to this;
But he, persisting, would not be denied.

And go, as evening grew apace, their eyes
Oft Beamed the glittering aepect of Uie skies;
And when a darting star caught elther's sight
A sound of kissing broke upon the nktht.

She called his wond'rtng fancy to it, too.
When Intervals seemed long between each hug.
She called him on a passing lightning bug;
And, ever taxing her Ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her to And
More shooting stars In three short fleeting hours
Than would compote vf nolo meteono tnowers.
But when she did her last pretext exhaust,
And was about to yield her case as lost,
She caw a switchman's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down to a steady thing.

Paris has had a touch of Anglophobia
In tho way of dress.
French gray is as popular a color as
ever for spring dresses.
Silver buttons aro used on yachting
gowns Instead of gilt ones.
Every girl should dress as well as hpr
time and purse will allow.
Tho Tuxedo suit for ladies consists of
a blouse waist, skirt and sash.
Ladies aro beginning to wonder how
they could ever havo liked the dlrectoire
gown.
There is but little difference In outwurd
appearance between a good sateen und an
India silk.
Tarpaulin hats, either black or white,
in sailor shape, are affected by feminine
yachtsmen.
It is a part of French economy that a
woman shall not wear her street costume
in the house.
Surah silk dust cloaks aro seen quite
frequently on women bent upon shop
ping expeditions.
Riding habits are still dark in color,
but ladies will soon make a change to
light gray und brown.
Tho broad laco and muslin frills which
havo lately conio into fashion often give
a fresli nir to a very faded costume.
A (ea gown of latest pattern is in old
rose India silk with the Watteau fullness
in tho back laid In accordion plaits.
A black costuino is extremely chio if
