Page 2. THE CENTRE DEMocprAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. or —— = The ~~——e Scrap Book ——————————————— W—————————— Whistler's Fish Tragedy. A story of Whistler's Ingenuity in getting rid of a troublesome neighbor | is told by A. J. Eddy in his “Recollec tions and Impressions” of the famous artist. While residing in Venice an elderly countess moved into an apart ment immediately below that occupied by Whistler. Her noise, fussiness and goings to and fro annoyed the artist very considerably, so much so, in fact, that he made up his mind to drive her away. An opportunity presented itself one very hot day. The countess put a jar of goldfish on the balcony immedi- ately beneath his window. During her absence Whistler tied a bent pin to a thread, caught the fish, broiled them to a turn and then dropped them back foto the jar again. When the countess returned and found her goldfish dead there was a great commotion, and the next day she packed up and left, say- ing that Venice was altogether too hot. She declared with tears in her eyes that the sun had cooked her goldfish in their jar. Never Say Die.

Retrospect of Forty Years” William Allen Butler tells this story of Dr. William B. Sprague, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church in Al bany: After the birth of one of his younger sons Dr. Sp was for some time in doubt as to name he should give him, and the matter, as usual in such a subject of family discussion. Late one evening the good doctor, warm friend 1d great admirer of Ambrose Spencer, the chief justice of the supreme court of the state, kn at the door of his eldest inghter, who had retired and called « to her that he had de cided ona n e for her little brother nnouncing that it he “Ambrose Spencer Sprague.” A faint voice from within responded, “Father, think of the ir The doctor retired, and another name had to be discovered In “A rague what CASES, Ww aus who was a cked was to Got a Cheap Shave. » shaved at \ my favorite 1iper row wher ad | vidently short of 1sked the boss side of his face ws thought it a nswered In th stranger to ir 80 \ bid the stranger After boss outside, pretty affirmative, bidding ti take n moment | to takes the latter had be prepared ‘ "The nent the chair the asked le? was the ge reply in the shop had a on the boss, who took the good naturedly and ve the visitor a first Post and all hand mighty good laugh Joke class shave Joston A Bad Shet.

Just as the knife struck a small boy up in the gallery shouted with a wall: “Good heavens, 'e missed ‘er!” ast to we before she « asxistant was the She A Rather Convincing Reply. “Some years ago,” said Mr. Willlam P. Farrell of San Francisco, “1 was making a pilgrimage to the land of my ancestors, and many times, even in the most out of the way corners of Erin, 1 was given proof of the quick wit of the Celt. On one occasion a fellow whom I had employed In a small town In Galway on some slight per. sonal service persisted in addressing my as ‘My lord." 1 dide't like the title a little bit, and Ooally I ealled him down rather warmly, “Don’t you call me my lord anoth. of time,’ I sald. ‘I am simply an or dinary Irishman like yourself. “‘Ah, your honor, sald the rascal, with an irresistible grin, ‘that can’t be true.

The talk turned on politics, and the old fel low proved to be an ardent Bryanite Quite a crowd collected as the discus. sion went on, and several times in the them Mr. Moore got the laugh on the umbrella mender. It was a cold, raw day, “and sudden ly,” said Mr. Moore, “the thought came to me, ‘Here am I, well clothed, well fed, prosperous, making sport out of | this poor old derelict for a lot of idle bystanders!"” And he began to think how he could square himself. Remem bering that there was a little rip In his umbrella. he asked if it could be re paired. Without a word the man took it, threaded his needle and, taking the few necessary stitches, handed it back “How much?" asked Moore, knowing that the job was worth not more than a nickel “Twenty-five cents,” replied the man Jooking him squarely in the eye. and handed out the quarter, sayiug good humoredly: “You made a mistake, my man. You could have got 75 cents out of me as easily at arn -) The umbrella mender silently looked | him over from head to toe, then, shuk ing his head and turning to the crowd impressively, said, “I've traveled from New York to San Francisco and from | Mobile to Duluth, and I know a seven- | ty-five cent gent when I see him.” Beat Him to It, In one of the “dry” states a law evad- ing boniface sald to a thirsty guest “I don't sell spirits, but I will give you a glass of prime whisky, and then if you want a biscuit 1 will sell it to you for 25 cents.” The man given a drank it with evident its quality, and fered him a biscuit “Well, no think not,” sald i wr dear 1 op for a « was stiff glass appreciati f the landlord then guest, “you get or and be walks eat ans Cheerful Information. » olden days a semaphore was | h hill in San Fra: ip used whenever a vesse My SIDE-WHEEL “WHAT 15 THI? right angles indicated the coming of a sloop; upright sald that a schooner wos seen; both arms at right ignal for a brig; one angles and the other up right meant a full rigged ship, and both arms upright announced the ap proach of a side wheel steamer.
