"I never saw so much money in all my life before, and I never saw as many receipts and due bills and things of that sort at any one time before," observed the Bohemian who was regaling his friends, "and it all came about in this way: I had gone out to the races, and everything seemed to drift my way. Riley Grannan, in the very zenith of his fame as a better, did not approximate the daring and the luck which compasses this one's experience. I simply played with the w^e men who figure out the percentage from the form sheets, and singularly I was playing against the judgment of the bookmakers all the time. Horses booked at 100 to 1, and at even longer odds, called for my money. I was doing something I never did before, playing long-shot horses, and betting to the last penny in my pocket. I won every time. I hauled my money home in a furniture car. Then a good impluse came to me. I intended to found a few orphan * asylums, endow educational institutions in several parts of the country, and do other philanthropic work. But the first thing to do was to y<xy an mj vivuuvio. AV ?? VM.V* ?? ?? too much time to call on each one of them, so I concluded that I would rent a hall, insert an advertisement in a morning newspaper, and call a convention of my creditors. I rented a big hall, and called on all my creditors to meet me. They were there on time. The hall was jammed. The meeting will please come to order,' says I. 'My fellow-citizens,' says I, 'this is the proudest moment of my life,' says I, and they cheered me lustily, 'I am here to pay my honest debts,' says I, and the gentleman from Missouri got the flour. I announced that I would like to take my creditors up alphabetically, if there was no objection, and that I would like to pay my more recent obligations first. The fellows who held claims that were barred by the statute of limitation, were inclined to object to this, but when I told them there was no danger of any man being shut out they subsided, and the merry work went on. I never saw so many Teceived-in-fulls' in my life, and in a short while I was almost covered up with receipts, and I was simply tickled to death. It was a novel thing, and my creditors seemed to be as much L1CK.1CU its X was UVCI lUC anuunun. Finally the last receipt had been handed in, and it was incumbent on me, so I felt, to thank my creditors for their leniency in the past, and for meeting in convention at my request, and to make a few complimentary remarks on the mutuality of the good fortune which had fallen upon me. I did so. "I thank you again, gentlemen,' says I, and it now becomes my duty to declare the convention adjourned sine die,' and I brought the gavel down with a good hard rap as I said it. Suddenly I was sprawled out into the middle of the floor. 'It's all right,' growled my roommate, 'for you to call your creditors convention together on my face, and it was all right for you to use my face as a counting table, while you were paying your creditors, but I'll be d?d if I can stand for that "adjournment sine die" blow.' I crawled back into bed and went to sleep."?New Orleans Democrat. Not a Good Bank. "A womaji opening a bank account for the first time is a peculiar creature," said one of the clerks in a national bank. "One came in a few days ago, and glanced around suspiciously.

Haven't you got a stub pen and some nice violet ink?' "She was fitted out, and in the most careful way imaginable she wrote out her full name. Then she was provided with a deposit book, which she looked at in an inquiring way. She produced her money, hung on to it for a minute and then handed it in, all rolled up and tied with a thread. The receiving teller counted it in a rapid way, and threw It in with the other receipts. ?>uw, sne sttiu, mis etui i u guuu bank.

"?Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. a u< a-.mi: nt From Pkkckijknt.?Lincoln was once arguing a case against an opponent who tried to convince the jury that precedent is superior to law and that custom makes things legal in all cases. Lincoln's reply, given in .vliss Ida Tarbell's life of the great war president, was one of his many eftoctive analogies in the form of a story. Lincoln told the jury that he would argue the case in the same way as his opponent and began: "Old Squire Hagly, from Menard, came into my office one day and said: " 'Lincoln. 1 want your advice as a lawyer. Has a man what's been elected iiiKtii-f of the neaoe a riirht to issue a marriage license?'

Absolutely no clue as to the P child's parentage has been found.

MEMORY'S FREAKS. | 'anions Men Who Trained Tlieir . Minds Early. . To possess an excellent memory roves sometimes as goodly an heritage 1 s a fortune. The one may be lost in 1 pite of care, while the other, if pro- < erly regarded, will continue to aid and ( bet a man throughout his existence, i he feasibleness of cultivating a good t lemory, if merely as an act of policy, i i well exemplified by several notable len who have lived in the public gaze. < King Edward VII would, if ap- f roached on the subject, doubtless lay \ good portion of his popularity with c le masses at the door of his wonderful i lemory. Hardly is it believed that an- t ther could be found to match it in the resent day. The king never forgets a I ice, nor a man and both he associates t i his mind with some connecting place f. r incident. Whoever is presented to ( im, no matter how great, or how hum- t le a personage, or under what crowd- ? 1, changing surroundings, he has it in j is power to recall years afterwards nd to relate the circumstances attend- { ig the presentation. Many of his sub- 1 :cts have amusing stories to tell of 1 leir surprise, amounting almost to ter- ' >r, at times when as Prince of Wales, s e would suddenly turn amid some tu- r lultuous throng and call one of a num- ( er by name. Not to feel flattered at ich a mark of favor would be more c lan human, and as surely as the deed i as done the king added to his follow- c igr. ( Once when passing incognito through j ome under the name of Mr. Smith, and t tting in a restaurant on the Corso, ( le king was heartily slapped on the 3 ack by a waiter who at the same time ] ave vent to the remark: "Bless me, ( lan; you're the only soul that's put J >ot in this place who remembers me ein' at Ostend." 1 But this is not altogether an incohe- 1 ?nt trait with the king. The implant- 1 lg of memory was a hobby, if one 1 lay so speak, of the late Queen Vic)ria. In his boyhood the king was lade to repeat to his tutor every night efore going to bed the names of the eople he had met during the day, the ircumstances under which he had met lem, and made also to repeat, as near' verbatum as possible, the conversaons in which he had taken a part. With his nephew, the emporor of ermany, the same training in this resect was pursbed throughout childhood nd youth. The kaiser's memory in ermany is held in reverential awe. o a few, however, it is known that he imetimes pulls through trying ordeals y leaning strongly on his reputation. Recently at a large official dinner iven in Berlin by the medical staff, it as favorably remarked that the kaiser aoke with all those present .on the articular branches of medicine in hich they were respectively interred. With each man he discussed his ritings and pet theories, dwelling alays on the point that marked him om his brothers. To do such a thing was thought required not only an?f oamIaiic! ima/linir nn iiuinint: miiuuiii ui nn i?uo n.?un.ft le subject of medicine, but a most ex- * aordinary memory. It was rather a ( enoument, therefore, when a young 1 hyslcian, not willing to have his thun- ' er stolen, gave the fact out rather road I y that 20 minutes before the din- ' er he had been summoned to the kai- f ?r's presence, and had then given in a 1 ynopsls form every bit of the informa- 1 on that had been used during the vening. Probably, the kaiser had ( tiought little before of any of the men 1 resent, and most assuredly bad read one of their writings. Even so it is an ' chievement of merit to make one au ' ourrant of the labor and thought of ears. Lord Kitchener, another Englishman I f trained and unerring memory, is un- I appily more feared than loved by his 1 len, and partly on this account. De- i nquents especially when awaiting his t jstice are painfully aware that the de- l nils of every other trip-up in their areer are fresh in his memory as the i ay they occurred. It is said of him he i nows not how to forget. I James G. Elaine had, perhaps, as re- 1 larkable a memory as anyone born un- i der the stars and stripes, and it was one which he was fond of saying, "came with him." By this he meant that it had had no such rigorous training as that of King Edward VII. But he, too, was always glad to acknowledge his many debts of gratitude to this source. Thurlow Weed made it a practice to repeat to his wife at night in sequence every incident of the day. So alive to impressions was his intelligence, and so careful his description of them that the task would customarily take him from half to three-quarters of an hour. Another man who scorned above most things a note book or memorandum was Roscoe Conkling. To carry such a thing he regarded as an indignity, and loud were his anathemas against his countrymen that they allowed the custom to increase among them. 'Teach children to remember," was with him a favorite maxim. Of chief officials of the United States, President Tyler had undoubtedly the most exact and best trained memory. Besides being of inestimable service to his country through a trying time, it gave him much pleasure. As he lay in his bed at night, and before sleep visited his eyes, he would calm his mind by re peating to himself such loved poems as 'The Lady of the Lake," or again, chapter after chapter of sacred writings. After once hearing a long poem read he could repeat it perfectly. Nor was this only transient ability. One New York woman of note there was who deserves mention among this group of unusual memories. The reference is to Mrs. Livingston, one of the founders and for a long time a director of the orphan asylum. Without the slightest effort she could call the 300 children there sheltered by name, and remember as well the individual history of each one. Also she had President Tyler's gift of being able to repeat after once reading any list of names or a long poem.?Chattanooga Times. GE11MAX THIEVES WHO KILL. tinny Here Now?Tlieir RcudlneuM to Slay Attributed to Atlielmn. There is reason, in the opinion of expert thief catchers, to believe that nost of the acts of violence committed cy burglars in and about New York in :he last few weeks have been the work >f one class of criminals. This class * a. iu? rto Hormfln IS Known lu lUC puutc ao v?w ? > ihleves. The American thief is like the Engish thief and the Irish crook in that le hesitates to use violence save in case )f great danger to himself. Most hieves, especially housebreakers, car y pistols when engaged on a job, but he pistol is more for the purpose of ntimidation than anything else. The German thief is entirely different from the others. He carries a gun 'or the purpose of using it on any one ,vho puts his life or his liberty, espe:ially the latter, in danger. He will ise the gun on the slightest provocaion, and invariably shoots to kill. Almost all German thieves are housebreakers. Detectives in this city say hat 60 per cent, of the house burglaries that occur here are the work of leiman thieves. Manyt-'flat robberies ire the work of Negroes, who belong especially in the class known to the >olice as sneaks. There is hardly a police detective of experience in this city who does not beieve that the Latimer killing in Brookyn was the work of a German crook. The job bore all the earmarKs. ic was similar to many other shootings comnitted under the same conditions by German crooks. Fritz Meyer, the murderer of the old hurch bell ringer in Brooklyn; the nurderer of Policeman Smith, who saught him robbing the poorbox of a Catholic church in Manhattan, and >robably the murderer of a number of )ther persons, was a true type of the German crook. Greenwall, hanged ears ago in Raymond Street Jail in Brooklyn for a murder similar to that )f Latimer, were others of the same stripe. They were men who would shoot nan, woman or child without a monent's hesitation if caught in a robjery. They were men who shot to kill, ind after killing they faced death hemselves with amazing indifference vhen the law condemned them. Many detectives find in this latter haraeteristic an explanation of the villlngness of German thieves to shoot ind kill without hesitation. They say hat these men are all atheists, that hey kill others with the same indifference that they face death themselves. They point to the muruer 01 uennaii suicides as proof of this. The Gernan thieves will hold to life as long as hey can, killing others in order to engthen their own days, but once they see the end has come, they are stoical md fearless, thoroughly believeing that t is the end of all things for them. Detectives find that German crooks irefer death to imprisonment, and are lot deterred from killing people who orner them by the fear of execution, is thieves of all other classes are. A detective on the staff of Captain ritus of this city told a reporter the >ther day that there were more German rooks along the Bowery now than here had been for years. "You can find dozens of them around he lodging houses," he said, "many >f them young men of 25 and 30. They lang together because thieves of other + i? + it-Ill u'lth thom hlliwiiamiro %vm uui. ?uii\ "American thieves are not fond of langing and the German's proneness to ihoot is well known to them. A Gernan will kill rather than be captured mil risk a term in prison. "An American thief, in fact any oth?r kind of thief, will take a dozen terms ather than face a charge of murder. That is because away down deep in him s the fear of God which doesn't exist n the German at all."?New York Sun. Unique City ok Dai.ny.?At present there is being founded on the shores of lie Pacific ocean the Russian city of Dalny. This city will form the termiius of the new Siberian and Manchui ian railway, and its site has hereto"ore been known as Tailenwan. The unique thing about this new city s that it begins its municiual life with ill modern improvements. There are ?iers of stone and cement; a large reakwater, with no ships to seek refjge behind it. The streets are graded and paved, although there is no traffic for them as yet. The different quarters of the town have beer laid out, space provided for parks, schools, churches, etc. Gardeners are already beautifying the parks. Electric lights and electric railways are already in operation. As yet not a foot of land has been sold, although over ?6,000,000 1 have been expended for Improvements 1 and public buildings. The population 1 now exceeds 50,000, 23,000 of which are employed in building the railroad, which is to be owned by the Russian government. It is calculated that the city will cost $18,000,000 before the present plans are completed. It is provided that when lands are sold taxation will begin, and the city's government will be placed in the hands of a council, elected by the taxpayers, of which two members must be Russian subjects and not more than two Chinese or Japanese. The port will be an absolutely free one, as the government wishes to encourage trade.?Municipal Journal. , Til 15 GREAT MISTAKE. Jii?IkIi>U? the Vnlue of mi Ad. by n Single I iiMertlon. It is the mistake of one's lifetime to think that he can prove the virtue of advertising by mere trial of it for a single time. Results are not reached by a single effort. Nor does one swallow prove that spring is here. The convincing of men, the bringing over of others to one's views, comes only of persistent effort. Men are not variable, like the winds; neither are they uncertain like the weather. They i have ideas of their own, and it is needful that they be won in order to be conquered. If one might feel the bite of a fish just as quickly as his hook sank into the water, soon all the fish would disappear from the seas, and , none would be left to be caught. j Success in advertising comes precisely as success in fishing and in every serious matter of life?through pa- ( tience, perseverance and a determined purpose to succeed. One might try the same advertising medium a half dozen times without success, and the sev- i enth effort might result in returns richly compensative. He who "lays down" quickly in the j advertising line is not likely to succeed. It is the'man who holds on with tooln ana nan persisienuy, wuu ???n not let go, but stays despite silence or rebuff?it is such a man who increases , largely his bank account and who wins out against all competitors.?Exchange.
