If she asks who is talking, tell her it is the turn" key at the Central station, and she'll never know who told her the lie." Tne waiter ambled away and was presently seen to be having a good deal of fun with himself. The jester inferred that it might have something to do with his case and called him over. "What's amusing you, John?" "Wouldn't like to tell you, sir; at least right here." "I guess these fellows understand. Let'er go!" "Missus says to tell her husband she is glad he is so nicely located for the night. She knows where he is for once."?Cleveland Leader. Joke Was on the Counsel.?The fair plaintiff's counsel in the breach of promise case thought that he would make life a burden to the unfortunate young man who was the unwilling defendant. "Do you mean to say," he asked, after a lot of embarrassing questions, "that after you had been absent for an entire month you did not kiss the plaintiff, to whom you were engaged to be married, when you first saw her on your return?" "I do," responded the defendant, firmly. "Will you make that statement to the jury?" "Certainly, If necessary." "Do you think they would believe you?" "One of them would, I know." "Ah, indeed, Why should he?" "Because he was present when I first saw her. He was at the gate when I rode up, and she stuck her head out of the second story window, and I asked her, "How d'ye do?' and said I'd be back to supper in half an hour. I'm no giraffe." And everybody in the court smiled except the barrister. After Best Men.?A number of prominent men in congress and otherwise in public life were gathered at Chamberlin's last evening, says the Washington Post, and the conversation turned to the ups and downs of politics. In the party were Private John Allen, of Mississippi, and Senator Shoup, of Idaho, both of whom have just concluded unsuccessful senatorial canvasses of their respective states. "What's the matter down in Missississippi and out in Idaho?" some one asked Representative Allen, "that two such brilliant men as you and Shoup do not seem to be wanted in the senate?" "Well, now," drawled the Mississippiari of famous wit, "Idaho is a long way off, and I can't tell you much about why Shoup got left; but I can tell you about Mississippi; I know all about it." Then in a confidential whisper and with an air of imparting some . startling secret, he added: " Missis sippl isn't sending her best men to the senate this year." He Got Some Work to Do.?"Prisoner," said the learned magistrate to a lazy fellow before him. This is the third time you've been here." "But, your honor," pleaded the prisoner. "I've been trying to get work and couldn't." "You woudn't work if you coud get it." "Yes, I would, your honor." "What kind of work?" "Anything, your honor, so long as it was honest work." "What kind of wages?" "Wages is no object, your honor; all I want is work, with food and clothing, and a shelter." "And you'd work if you had that sort of a job?" "Indeed I would, your honor; only try me," and tears actually came into his eyes. "Very well," said the magistrate, kindly, "we'll give you a job, with shelter. food and clothing combined. Six months' hard labor. Next case." Genuine Gratitude.?The portly statesman in the black cutaway coat lighted his cigar, leaned against the bar and puffed away contentedly. Like most New York barrooms, it was a cosmopolitan place, full of many sorts of people. A lean, hungry looking individual with grimy hands and beard of an anarchrist approached the portly gentleman cautiously. "I say, boss, could you not let me have a nickel?" he began, tentatively. "What's the trouble?" asked the other. "Well, you see, the fact Is I haven't a cent, and I was out on an awful spree last night?and I want a beer." He got the nickel. He looked at the coin meditatively for a time and then at his benefactor. 'Say," he ejaculated at last, "you're a good fellow. I wish I had another nickel so I could treat you."?N. Y.

No attempt is 1 made hers to give the attendants in orler, and we give only the bare facts which we have been able to gather. THE BLOODHOUND. "It 's a peculiar fact," said Detec- " ;ive frank D. Mitchell the other day, * 'tha- the general public has an entirey erroneous idea of the nature and htracteristics of the bloodhound. The jcpular opinion is that he is a beast )'. giant frame and unusually ferocious, ,'ith a penchant for eating the criminal | fhom he has brought to bay. Anther common error is that he can fol>w a scent indefinitely, through a housand sinuosities, though it may be / itersected by any number of other rails. "The average bloodhound is no more 0 be dreaded so far as his fierceness 1 concerned than a pug. He is a aunt, raw-boned creature, with a head tinning to a peak; sleepy eyes and j mg, pendulous ears. As to disposition, s e is lazy. His usefulness lies chiefly i the keenness of his olfactory nerves, " nabllng him to follow a fresh scent lany miles. He seldom touches his uarry when run to earth, however, ana ever does unless starved to It. The loodhound differs from the English ox-hound In that he never 'gives ongue' or bays while following a scent. "Bloodhounds are not of much use in racking criminals in a city, or where here is comparatively dense populaion, as the numerous cross trails conuse them. This was demonstrated last rinter when we were hunting two Ne- ;roes named Will Tony and Sam Bar- . lette. The people of Benson had been omplaining of chicken thieves. Al- . nost every night some chicken coop in he vicinity of Omaha would be looted, nd finally Detective Drummy and I rere detailed to work up the case. We iut in several days on it without landng our man, and the aggravating part if it was that the thefts were going j ight on. even while we were hunting i or the criminals. Well, eventually ve decided to adopt heroic measures. <Ve had a consultation with several >rominent citizens of Benson, and the esult was we sent to Beatrice for a >ack of bloodhounds. "We kept the dogs in hiding until here was another foray on a hencoop, ind then, bright and early one mornng, the hounds were put on a fresh rail. They followed it about a quarter >f a mile and finally came to a standstill on the front porch of a house in . he outskirts of the village. "The family that lived in this house . x>re a good reputation, but we decided o go in anyhow, and make an investigation. We searched everywhere, from :ellar and garret, but there was no sign . >f a stolen chicken. Not even a feath;r could be found on the premises. . Then we took the dogs back to the starting point and had them go over he same trail again, and again they vound up on the front porch of the same house. Try as we would we _ ouldn't get the beasts to leave thr< dace. The trail seemed to end the'e- b T the theives had gone up In a ball,on it that point they could not have o>lit- *j ;rated their tracks more effectual! - So he dogs were declared a failu^ and u vere sent back to Beatrice. J-J "Later we succeeded in atching ^ Tony and Barnette red-han^d. with p lie evidence of their guilt uon them, ind they confessed. I have j?ver been w ible to explain to my own <atisfaction ^ ,vhy the trail left off so Abruptly on g he porch of that partiU'ar house, fliere is a tradition that omes up from S JM s\ the South, a survivor of the ante-bellum days, that if a fleeing slave tied sliced onions upon the soles of his feet' the hounds could not track him. Perhaps that is what Barnette and Tony did on the piazza of that house?I don't know."?Omaha Bee.
