AN IMPECUNIOUS ONE.
THE BOLD GAME OF BLUFF HE PLAYED
ON THE CONDUCTOR.

"For dend cold, ley uervo I lind al

over saw wits put np by a miui who wits
neither a draumier nor a reporter, but
merely an overworked bank clerk who
lind npplicd for a leiivn (it nhncneo uud
gone south to reenperitto. lie lind drawn
a certain snm for the trip and resolved
not to exceed it. Foolishly bo bud neg
lected to buy mi excursion ticket, argu
ing Hint ho might wiitit to return by n
different ronto. Anil then, ns a mutter
of course,, bo found that ho had spent his
money not wisely but too well, so that
he was hundreds: of miles from lionio,
ticketless and friendless and Well nigh
penniless. His checkbook was useless,
for no ono know him nnd he must bo
identified.
"All this I lenrned later on. My ac
quaintance with him begun on the train
of one of the southern roads, when bo
asked me to stake him enough to sen
him homo. I had already been 'touched'
several times that trip, so, exprcsHing ov
ery coulldeuco in his probity, I declined
tho honor he would do me. Ho tried
several other passengers with a like ro
sult. Then ho gave it up, but made us
all promiso not to iutorfere with any
game ho triod to play.
"Presently the conductor canio along.
The impecnuions ono, his hut cocked
over one eye, was peacefully sleeping iu
one corner of his scut, leaning toward
an open window. The conductor shook
him, gently at first, so that he stirred,
and his hat dropped further over his
eye, but he did not wake. Then more
roughly, Buying, 'Coino, sir, yonr tickot,
please.' "
"At that the impoonuious one awoke
with a big start. His hat flow out of the
window. -nud he flew into a great rage.
He swore at the conductor and abused
him np and down, him and his fore
fathers nnto the third and fourth gener
ation. What did he mean by waking
him in that wnyf Didn't ho know that
rest was invaluable to an invalid? That
such a sadden, rude awakening might be
fatal to a weak heart? Were his nerves
of no account? And now he had lost his
hat and wonld catch cold. It was out
rageous. "The conductor bowed before the
storm, and when it bad somewhat abnt
ed offered to ropluoo the bat at tho first
stopping plaoe. 'And now, sir, let me
see yonr tickot, please.'
"The impecnuions one folt in nil his
pockets, went through them all agnin
with a bewildered air. Finally he broke
ont: 'Why, you idiot, yon, all my tick
ets, not only on this roiul, but straight
through to Chicago, were in the lining
of my hut, and you knocked it ont of
the Window. I'm in a pretty pickle
now. I hovon't enough with me to bay
a t resh sot. 'This piece of idiocy will
cost you yonr job. I'll report you to the
company and tench you to be more care
ful how you startle a nervous man. '
"The conductor tried to soothe him,
offered to take him through to the cud
of the division. But the impecunious
one wonld not bo appeased. Much good
it would do him to be lundod in some
little nearby, one horse southern town
hundreds of miles from nowhere. He
wanted to get through to Chicntfb. He
must get through. He had an appoint
ment there that was worth thousands of
dollars. Finally the oonduotor, by this
time badly frightened, promised to get
him tickets nor pauses . all the way
through, and the impecunious one sub
sided. And to the end of that road the
oonduotor, having replaced the dear de
parted hat, maintained an humbly apol
ogetio tone that would have wrung tears
of blood from a stone.
..- "And it was only a bluff all so well
carried out that the conduotor was
completely taken in, and the rest of us
rubbed our eyes and wandered whether
the impecunious one's attempt to touch
us was not, after all, dream.
"Later tin, traveling. over that same
road, I told - the oonduotor how be had
been worked. And be said he knew it,
for shortly after that trip he had receiv
ed a letter and a oiiookt the former con
fessing the fraud, tho latter faying him
the full price of the, passage. And he
added : 'That fellow was genius. If he
had made a fuss at first about his tick
ets, I'd hate been on to him in a min
ute, but his tickets were forgotten. It
was his nerves, his health, his heart, his
hat that were of importance. ' And to
think that he had no nerves, or health,
or hat or heart . Oh, it was Wicked 1
But that man has missed bis vocation.

Mr, nilllmjtnn,
Gtndents of tho inttsiral history of f!io
close of the eighteenth century urn fu
mllinrwlth the nnnin of Mrs. Jlillhi
ton. For some 80 yonrs, at a time wl- :
the art of singing wns perhaps nt '
Bcntth, she reigned as one of tho hrl-V
partienlnr stars of tho musical w 1.
ttir Joshua imniiirtnllzed her ns Ht. Co
ellin, and in the fulsome fashion of l'n
day it was said that instead of represent
ing her ns listening to the niigelH lio
shonld hnve painted the angel ns silent
before her. Michnel Kelly, the pupil of
Mozart, sntd of her, "I thought her nu
angel in benuty and the tit. Cecilia of
song," nnd Mnydn nnivoly recorded in
his diary, "Hho is a great genius, mnl
ell the women Imto her because she is
bountiful. " Iter history is very cnrlons,
and the brilliancy of her career ns an
artist is in strange contrast to the noun
dills which snrronttded her from hor
very childhood.
Tho Georgian era wns not a period
remarkable for morality, on or off tho
stage, but making every nllownnce fur
the exnggernticui of newspaper gossip, it
is iutpossililo to emtio to tho conclusion
that tho lifo of Mrs. Billington was ro
mnrkablo fhr its vlrtuo. even if the
darker nnensntions which wore freoly
brought ngiiinst her are untrue. It says
much for her personal charm that she
remained from first to Inst a fnvorito
with the public, nnd her fascination ns
a singer enabled her to triumph ovor
dirticnlties which, even in those days,
would linvo wrecked tho enreer of a loss

How Much IH Iis Knowt
This is rather a diflleult question tu
answer. A dog about I) yeurs old is no
doubt wiser fur than a child double that
ago. At 0 a dog is in his ceuith, and
can bo taught but littlo more, bnt by
this time, although he cannot speak, ex
cept iu a kind of dumb language, lie
knows everything that is sntd about him
that is, if he lias been tho constant
companion of a kind muster and mis
tress. We are too loath to admit that a
dog can understand quite a deal that is
spoken, especially if it concerns himself.
I am sure that, like myself, many of
my readers could send' me anecdotes in
proof of this. The following is sent me
by a ludy. It is worth reading t
"My husband bad at one time a very
flue collie, which seemed to understand
conversation perfectly. On one occasion
ho told his housekeeper that ho was go
ing to rido noxt day to his father's place,
80 miles away, and, turning to his dog,
said, 'Von will stay at homo.' Next
morning the dog was not tobesoen, and
when his master arrived at his destina
tion tho dog bad got there llrst, uud wus
peacefully resting undor a tublo. The
strangost thing was that the- dog was
taken to my husband's home by rail,
nnd had never traveled on foot betweon
tbo two pluoos." Edinburgh Scotch
man. Carlrle Mock Fool" PhreM.
Where, bow and whon did Carlylo de
clare that his oonntrymon wero "mostly
fools?" According to Mr. JuBtin Mc
Carthy, iu an article in this paper, as
also, rather curiously, according to Mr.
Francis Espiuusso 1', his recently re
printed articles from The Bookman, it
was in an appeal (printed in The Spec
tator) to Lord John Russoll, then pre
mier, to do something for the indus
trial Improvement of Ireland. Accord
ing to fuct, howovor, it was iu the "Lat
ter Day Pumphlota," in the ohapter on
parliaments. In tho appeal to Lord John
Russell Carlylo merely speaks of his
countrymen as "twouty-seven millions,
many of whom are fools;" in the "Lut
tor Day Pamphlets," in tho ohapter on
parliaments, be suys :
"Cousf jor, in fuct, a body of 658 mis-oellaueoL-y
persons set to consult about
business, with 27,OOU,00O, mostly fools,
assiduously listening to them and check
ing aud criticising them was there ev

THI OLDEST 013ELISK.
It Stands an the llank nf the Mlla Not
far From Cairo.
The oldest of all tho obelisks is the
beautiful one of rosy grtmlto which
stands alone among the green Holds ou
the bnuks of the Nile not far ftom
Cairo. It is the gravestono of n great
city which hns vanished and left only
this rello behind. That city wns Both
lliemes of Scripture, the fatuous On,
which is memorable to all Bible readers
ns tho residence of the priest of On,
I'otiphernli, whoso daughter Asenatli
Joseph married. Tho Greeks culled It
Heliopolls, the city of tho sun, because
there tho worship of tho sun had its
chief center nnd its most sacred shrlno.
It was tho sent of tho most nncletit uni
versity in the world, to which youthful
students cume from nil parts of the
world to learn tho oeenlt wisdom Which
the priests of On nlono could teach.
Tlutles, Solon, Kmloxus, I'ythngoroH
and Pluto nil studied there; perhaps
Moses too. It wns nlso the hirthplaro of
tho sacred literatnro of Egypt, whore
wero written on papyrus leaves tho orig
inal chapter of the oldest book in the
world, genernlly knovu ns "The Book
of tho Dead," giving it most striking
account of tho conflicts nnd triumphs of
tho lifo ufter dentin n whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to havo buried with
him in his cnflln, and portions of which
are fonnd inscribed on every mummy
case and on the -walls of every tomli. Iu
front of ono of .the principal temples of
the urn in this magnificent city stood,
along with n companion long since de
stroyed, the solitary obelisk which we
now behold on tho spot. It nlono has
survived tho wreck of nil tho glory ot
the place. It was constructed by TJser
tesen I, who is supposed to havo reigned
SHOO B. C, and bus outlived all tho 1y
linstio changes of the land nnd still
stands where it originally stood nearly
47 centuries ago. What appears of its
shaft above ground is 08 foet in height,
but its btiso is buried iu the mud of the
Nile, nnd year after year tho inundation
of tho river doposits its film of soil
around its foot and buries it still dcoper

LONDON'S GREAT PARK.
Th II u in of tha Mstrnpoll Penetrate It
With Ever Varying Cadenoa.
The greatest attraction of Hyde park
is ono which Londoners and most visit
ors fail to discover and appreciate. It is
unique and subtle churm whoso moan
ing only those can know who have fall
en under its spell. Hydo park, be it re
momboted, Is the only grout plot of
verdure in tbo world set in the very
center of a great city. Boston Common
is but a garden compared with it, Con
trol park may soon be hemmed in by
New York's teeming millions, but not
yet Hyde park ia a gratoful rofuge of
silence iu the midst of turmoil. Only
upon its outor borders does the restless
mob infringe. Within, awny from Rot
ten row, away from oarringo diive and
fashionable promenade, there is always
rest, tranquillity, silence no, not si
lence, but in its place the thing which
is the niysterions charm of the spot
Find a seat upon a bench in the midst
of the wide, sweeping, open green where
the eye sues only gross uud trees, with
no sign of the vast city on any sido. Bit
for a few moments uud listen listen,
and there will come to yonr oars the
most wonderful sound in all the world.
It is the voice of Lor Ion an ever
changing, inarticulate, pregnant solil
oquy. One day it will be the gentle
murmur of a sea shell. Again it is the
harsh grinding of the mill of the gods
crushing human grain beneath its upper
and nether millstones. The mighty but
distant reverberation is sometimes a
triumphant harmony, sometimes a minor
note, melancholy and despairing. The
myriad tongued voice which comes from
the east is sullen, protesting, enduring;
that from the west is a careless chorus
of pleasure and prosperity ; that from
the north is a hopeful strain of patient
progress ; that from the south is a ca
dence of struggle and sorrow, and the
whole is a symphony of bunion life, ma
jestic, inspiring, infinitely pathetic.
. Nowhere save in this spot does the
greatness of London impress itself upon
me. Boston Transcript
A Uanloa-For Farming:.
Miss Annie Dennis of Talbot torn, Gn.,
la fine looking young woman of SB,
who seems to have a genius for farm
ing. According to a Georgia paper, she
owns a handsome estate of 1,000 acres,
which she cultivates with great skill
and success. Upon it she oonduots a
dairy, stock farm, a cannery, a pre
serving establishment, a vineyard and
wine distillery and a piggery. Each of
these ia 'prosperous to a high degree.
The owner 1b publio spirited and ex
hlbita her products at every fair and
exposition. She began this work in 1888
and in seven years has carried off nearly
100 prizes. She ascribes her success to a
good education and careful reading. She
makes a special study of the application
ot splence, particularly chemistry, to
her fields of industry and utilizes every
new idea which appears.
The first manufacturing statistics,
were oolleoted by the government in
1800, when it was discovered that the

Mova Along.
The Indian's view of the way in
which he hns been trented by the white
man in this country wns well given In
an anecdote related by Professor Kill
cott Evans of Hamilton college. The
famous Indian chief lied Jacket once
mot Mr. Evans' grnndniicln, Joseph El
licott, nt Tonawandii, Niagara county.
Mr. Ellicott nt that timo wns agent of
the Holland Land company, which own
td most of tho land in what wns later
known ns the Eighth Judicial district
of Now York.
Tho two men shook hands and sat
down ou it convenient log, both being
near the luiddlo ot it. After a short
time spent in ninicahlo conversation,
Red Jacket said pleasantly, "Move
along, Joe."
Mr. Ellicott did ns bo had been re
quested, and the chief moved up close to
him. In a few minutes came u second
request, "Move along, Joe."
Again Mr. Ellicott complied, though
with eonsiiloralilo surprise, and again the
chief followed him closely. Scarcely bad
this been done when Bed Jacket again
snid, "Move along, Joe."
Mr. Ellicott wns greatly annoyed, bnt
willing to humor tho chief ho "moved
along" once more, this timo reaching
the end of tho log.
This wits not sufficient to satisfy tho
chief, however, for a moment later came
tho fourth roquest, "Movo itlong, Joo."
"Why, mini," cried tho itgent irrita
bly, "I can't move nuy farther without
getting off the log into tho mud I"
"Ugh!" exclnimod Red Jacket con
temptuously. "Just so white iiiuu.

of attention during the dark winter
months, and light and nir must be given
ou every possible opportunity. It does
no harm to leave the frames covered
with snow for a couple of days iu se

if snow in allowed to remain for a woek,
when mold will spread with alarming
rapidity. Evon If sunlight can be ad
mitted for but three hours and a little
ventilation given, it is surprising how
tho plants nre benefited. There are very
few days during the whole winter when
we do not give both light and air. Vio

given freoly whenever tho outside tem
perature allows. If the thermometer
registers several degrees below freezing,
even in midwinter, tho sun warms tho
frames sufficiently to permit a moderate
amount of air being admitted. Violets
in frames make much more work than
when they are grown in houses, and the
flowers are less convenient to pick, but
the quality of blooms is as good in all
kinds, and mnch bettor in some, par

When about to return from a Bohemian
village to a frontier town in Saxony, the
occupants of a sledge had their foot
warmers carefully rinsed out and re
plenished with full bodied Hungarian
wine. Thus they passed the guardpost
without let or hindranoe, to the merry
Jingling of the sleighbella. Laughing
and joking at the success of their little
dodge, they called at a wayside inn for
refreshments. On resuming their seats
one of the party exclaimed :
"Why, the foot warmers are quite
hotl"
Then the boots of the inn stepped for
ward, and said, with friendly grin,
"The foot warmers were quite cold, so,
just to oblige yon, I emptied them and
filled them again with hot water. "

T, plnrlhn fnum" on Our Coin.
According to tho United Htalrs mint
officials, tho words,"E Pluribns Unum,"
as they nppear on onr coins, nro there
without tho function of law. The legend
first appeared npon a copper coin
"struck" at tho Nowbnrg (N. Y. ) mint
in the year 1 780. The United States
was very young ut thut timo uud could
not afford tho luxury of a mint, so n
privuto individual of the name of
Brasher opened the Newburg coining es
tablishment with tho intention of turn
ing out money of tho realm for all
comers. Exactly how tho words "E
Pluribns Unnin" came to bo used ds a
motto is not known, but ono thing is
certain, the Brasher copper coin bear
ing that legend and tho ditto of 1780 is
the most valuablo metal dink ever mint
ed on this continent, being worth about
$3,000, or twice as much as the famous
rare dollar of 1804.
Some time after coining his fnmous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
above described Brasher triod his hand
on a lurge sized goldpiece, producing
the coiii known to tho numismatists as
"Brasher's twenty." The Brasher
"twenty" was not a 30 goldpiece,
however, for it lacked (4 of weighing
enough, but of Inte years it has become
very scarce and vnlnable because of the
fact thnt tho legend inscribed upon it
rends "Unum E Pluribns" instead of
"E Pluribns Unum. " This ooin is now
valued at $1,600. St Louis Republic.
