i Tin* manager of tho firm was a?
loki friend of mine. Notwithstanding
lite fact that our acquaintance began

?fortunes, a change that had brought

ing mercantile establishments in the
Wst and reduced meto the necessity
fvf earning my living with my pen
Rind not strained our friendly rela
tions. I could approach him with
ifcesame old freedom. I was in neet1
of a story, au incident or romance of
Vowe kind, and waiting until ? was
certain that his business for the day
fvas completed I went into his office,
jknowing that he would help me out
g possible, and after exchanging
Ahe usual cordial greeting 11 aid :
I "John, I am looking for p. story,
and I want you to tell me one.''
' "My dear boy "-he always called
me "boy," although I am his senior
fotild not hoof any service tc
?yon. 1 am afraid."
"Well, ? have an idea," I said,
I'and will ask yon a question by way
of n suggestion. "
"Go ahead," was the rejoinder.
"I want you to tell me, if you will,
tho incident or accident of your life
in winch you suffered the greatest
humiliation."
I? John laughed heartily at this, but
with a blush that suggested some
thing romantic or sentimental, and
I got ont my notebook.
!' "I'll tell you a story, but if you
should ever mention my nnme,"
Kiid he, "I might forgive you, but I
?now ti sweet little woman who
would bo very slow to forgive me."
"Go 011. I think you can trust
me," I naid, and ho told me the fol
lowing .story :
"You aro aware of the fact," he
began, "that ten years ago I repie
eentedthe firm of-of this city
?on tho road. 1 traveled over western
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. In
fhoso day? I was up early, worked
liard and late, but was jolly and
puitea ladies* man."
"Yes," 1 said, "I remember, es
(pecially about the latter phase of
your character." And it was true.
John-was not a bad man, but 1
?new him in his younger days to be
an inveterate flirt and that tho wo
men all admired him. Ho was good
looking, wore a smile that was full
pf .sunshine and carried a heart that
responded to' tho misfortunes of
mankind wherever or whenever
found. No one could truthfully say
that J olin was ever unkind or seli
|sh, but for all that bo wns a flirt,
.nd many were his innocent esca
es. He ?' h out? ht of nothing outr
gsido of his business but good times.-4 J
jsntl if nay hoity bm! them he did.
?put it did not "enter his mind that
there was any harm in what he was
.doing until fie grew older and more
Jerious thoughts took the place of
*?& prankish ideas. But to return to
the story<
i "If you have never traveled over
J^e branch railroad running from
burlingame, Kan., on tho Santa Fe,
fPManhattan, on the Union Pacific,"
?iii be,'Til explain the situation
you will understand that and
Jtoat 1 nm going to tell you, for a
pty over this road was the com
enecment of an incident which led
0 my greatest embarrassment and
?orever cured me of the habit of
wrtiag with the fair sex.
?"Burlingame is south of Topeka
Jjout 40 miles, on the Santa Fo, and
Hfkhhattan is west of the Kansas
pital on the Union Pacific'some rtO

,rlhiganie, a good business nt that,
(1 hiter feet tiing my bill with mino
t t'ollins of tho principal hotel
d instructing him to send rdy
.P* to tho depot, I sauntered out
town to kill tho inter vening hours
"oro train time. This short lino
in did not leave the Burlingame
t until after thc Santa Fe main
6 train going south cami? iii. ?
went down to the depot a suort
while before train time, which, if I ?
remember correctly, was about 3 ii. j
m. Upon inquiry I learned that the j
train waa two boars late.
"I bad no business back up town
and concluded to disposo of my
spare time at the depot. I went ont
on the platform after awhile and
walked np and down, thinking of
various matters connected with my
trip. Tho depot was one of those
old fashioned structures with the
gents' waiting room nt one end and
the ladies' at tbe other, with tho of
fices between them. Very few peo
ple were about the depot at the time,
and to them X gave little cotice, but
later on my attention was attracted
to n very prepossessing type of the
country girl standing in the door
way of the ladies' waiting room. Of
course, is these days, whoa a good
looking girl appeared on tho scene
I at once became interested, and
after passing her a time or two I
drew near and remarked to her that
?he seemed to be waiting for a truin
as well as myself. She replied in
the affirmative and a desultory talk
fellowed regarding tho weather, the
country, and so on, and I soon learn
ed that she was H student in the
Manhattan college and was going
out on my train for that place.
44 4 But how aro we to kill these
two hours?' Z remarked to her after
awhile; but of course ehe didn't
know.
44Just across the track from the
depot several coal mines were oper
ated nt that time, and I made some
remark about them and suggested
that I believed that I would go over
and go down into one of thom, us I
had never been in amine of any kind.
She thougbt that -wculd be interest
ing, and said it in such a mannet
that I politely introduced myself and
invited hei to accompany me. She,
in turn told mc her name and in a
very modest and becoming manner
thanked ?ne for the invitation and
said that she would be glad to go I
did something right here which 1
cannot explain and which afterward
caused me untold emberrasment and
mortification, but I believe taught
me a very valuable lesson. I have
seen a good deal of life, as you well
know, but this was tho first time in
my exp?rience, and the last, that 1
ever sailed under false colors. When
introducing myself, I gave her u
fictitious name. I do not know why
I did eo, for I knew enough of hu
man nature to understand at a
glance that this young lady wa?
honest and upright, and I had no ul
terior motivo or design in my mind
when I told ber thai; my name was
Harry Mcconkey.
44We went over to the nearest
shaft and soon obtained the neces
sary permission of the boss to go
down into the dark chambers of the
earth below. Accompanied by a
guide we got into one vi the cages
and descended several hundred feet.
When the bottom wr.d reached, we
were shown through various dark
lanes, where men and mules were al
work taking out the black diamonds.
Miss-was very much intrusted
in what she saw, and when wt
emerged from the mino ehe thanked
me again for my kindness in invit
ing her to accompany me. When wt
got back to the depot, we learned tc
our disappointment that ' the trait
was an hour later than it was at firsi
reported. This would make it sup
per time and after. I.suggested sup
per, and invited the lady to go bael
up town with me to get something
to eat. She would go, she said, bul
not as my guest, but on conditio!
that I permit her to pay for her owi
Bupper, und she gave as her rensoi
for this our short acquaintance. O
course I preferred to pay for th?
suppers myself, but I appreciate
the fact that the young Indy wai
correct in the position she took, nut
I permitted her to have her way ii
the matter,
"We went up town nr.d into tin

44I told her enough falsehoods am

answered promptly, directed, of
coarse, to Hurry McConkoy. Why
had I not told her the truth ? Her
letters wero full of expressions of
friendship ami gratitude, and I could
eeo an occasional glimpso of some
thing like admiration for me creep
ing in between the lines. I waa sorry
that I had lied to her, for I respected
her very much and wanted her to
respect me. But, you see I couldn't
respect myself in this mattor. We
wrote regularly tw ice a week. Two
months later my business called mo
to Manhattan. I wrote the young
lady that I would be in Manhattan
ou a certain day and asked her to
drop mo a note in the postoffice di.
reefing me how and where to find
her, that I might call and pay my
regards. 1 still felt guilty, but ! bsd
made up my mind to tell her the
truth and put myself right when I
eaw her, provided she would listen
to such an explanation as J. had to
offer.
"I reached Manhattan as sched
uled, and when I stepped off the train
to the platform, whs should I mx>

wreathed in smiles of welcome, but
cay young lady friend. I walked over
to where she was standing in as calm
and dignified a manner as possible
and took her by tho hand, and while
we were exchanging pretty remarks
over the pleasure of meeting again
some one, an old friend of mine,
slapped mo on the shoulder in a
friendly manner, exclaiming at tho
samo time in a voice loud enough to
be heard for a block around: 'Hello,
Mr.- (calling mo by my proper
name), I am very glad to meet you 1
Just get in? How is the clothing
trade?' And before I could stop him
tho cold perspiration was standing
like beads upon my brow, and the
young lady was regarding me in
blank amazement. It would be use
less to attempt to describe my be
wilderment and humiliation. I knew
that so far as the girl was concerned
I was hopelessly ruined. I was
proud and liked to be respected. She
was too honest and conscientious to
see any humor in a deception of
that character and too rigid in her
own ideas of propriety to forgive
me.
"My traveler friend knew that he
had done or said something that dis
concerted us very much, but as he
was ignorant of the situation all he
could do was to look on and wonder.
"In my intense mortification I
reached out to iake her hand again
and explain, but no friendly hand
met mine, and my words stuck in my
throat.
" *I will send your letters to the
hotel,' she said, in a quiet, calm
voice, 'and if you have any of mino
you must return them by tho mes
senger that brings yours,'and she
waved away a demonstration I made
to stop her and was gone. I never
felt so mean in all my life. I was
whipped completely.

country schoolmarm taught me a

"I had just plunged into the pero
ration of my sermon ono Sunday
evening," said the pastor of one of
the biggest churches on the east
side, "when an ushor came up tho
aisle and raised his hand to bid mc
pause. I was more than usually
imbued with tho spirit of my dis
course, andi think the congregation
was stirred a bit more than the or
dinary. But I stopped speaking and
stepped over to hear the usher say,
'If Dr. B-is in tho church, he is
wanted ut the door immediately.'
"I was puzzled for a moment. I
saw that the good doctor was ofter
an advertisement, but it was evident
also that if I did not make the an
nouncement the congregation would
be distracted by curiosity as to the
cause of thc usher'? interruption. ,
So I made the announcement and
continued my sermon.
"The next Sunday evening, to
ward the close of the service, an
usher came up and handed to. me a
slip of paper, on which was written:
" 'Please announce that Dr. C
is wanted at the door. '
"Dr. C-was a neighbor of Dr.
B-. It was too evident that he
was trying to cut in on Dr. B-'s
little game. I told the usher to in
form the bearer of the note that
services would be over immediately
and that Dr. C-could then bo
captured as he left the church.

A bravo and bardy yeoman bad I
been riding ?lowly over tho plain
and through the autumnul -,
whose leaves of red, yellow and
wero drifting slowly to the earth,
covering tho gruuting-in his
wallow and frightening the timid
-that was bleating for its moth
er. It was nearing evening and
the sun was hidden by a huge-:
cloud, whose vivid lightning portend
ed a storm. An icy wind from the
-made him shiver in spite of his
thick clothing. He began looking
for a place of shelter when he saw
coming a floury conten?-and a
portly-who ruled over a neigh
boring monastery. The three trav- |
elora greeted each other courteously
and passed on in friendly converse.
The dainty and delicate church
man complained louder that, "The
hot sun-my face fearfully. In
deed it is-it so that my com
plexion is nearly rained. '1
it ::ovr beguu io rain and they
commenood to -- in earnest for
shelter. They had begun to despair
; when they reached a modest oottugo
j in the woodland. The peasant own- !
er of it mad., them welcome and sent
them up into tho-of the house
to chunge their wet clothing. Tho
apartment seemed to bo a general
storeroom for odds and ends of all
kinds. From tho rafters hung hugo
flitches of -strings of dried ap
ples, and collections of seeds of vu
, rioas kinds. In one corner were a
j dozen-of grain.
The churchman picked up a book ,
and began to-it, but soon threw j
it down with the remark that if ho (
! were the-or even one of his car- i
dinals ho would burn the heretical
author of it. Neither of his coin- I
! panions was listening to him, for thu :
j voices of the people below stairs
could bo heard. The man remarkod,
4 We must kill the old-, but it
will be uwfully lonesome without
him quacking around the house."
His further remarks were inaudi
ble for the-and barks of the
dog drowned his voice. The woman
was not io be outsqualled and her
voice rose clear and triomphant as
uhe asked, "How will you kill him?
Won't wringing his neck-him I"
"No-than if I put the knife in
to bis breast and cut his-out,"
he answered sadly. "I'm afraid the}'
are hearty eaters, bis reverence is a
-of a big man." "Yes, he is fat
ter but be is not such a-as th?
other two." "My sister says they
all drink lots of wine. She gave ms
her word that his reverence is-."
"Your sister's-not so much as
you think for," he said sneeringly.
44We must satisfy them if possible,"
she said, trying to change the sub
ject. 4 4If it keeps on raining, we
will have to keep them all night. I
guesB we can-them away some
where."
The travelers were just sitting
down to dine when the setting sun
broke out from behind the clouds.
The ohurchmun clapped his handH
like a-as he eriod out, "We can

would say, each to his own-."

At Dr. McCosh'a Expense.
The lato Di-. McCosh of Princeton
university was an excellent hand nt
securing donations for that institu
tion, and yet it-was always hiB boast
that he never asked any man for JI
cent. In connection with this well
known trait of President McCoe?'s
character a prominent educator of
this city tells how one of tho doc
tor's friends and Chauncey M. De
pew once conspired to mortify the
good old Princetonian ata Yale din
ner. It was arranged that tho friend
Ehould accuse tho doctor of begging
and that Mr. Dcpcw should fdllow
with n vigorous denial. In the first
speech it was assorted that Dr. Mc
Cosh made a practice of culling upon
brokers in their offices and remain
ing until, in sheer desperation, the
brokers gave him contributions to
get rid of him ; also that he attended
meetings of various kinds for the
purpose of taking up a collection for
Princeton at tho end.
During this address Dr. McCosh
turned white with anger and started
to reply, when the chairman recog
nized Mr. Depew.
"I believe that ali the accusations
made against our Princetonian guest
ore entirely without foundation,"
said Mr. Depew 4,I have never
heard of his begging from a broker."
;Never Never I" cried Dr. Mc
Cosh.
And I never heard of his attend
ing meetings called for other pur?
poses and begging for his univer
sity."
. "Never!" again echoed the doctor.
"The only time I ever heard of
anything of that kind implied, "con
tinued Mr. Depew, "was when I was
told that he stood on a New York,
street corner with a monkey and a
hand organ, wearing a placard, on
which was printed, 4I am poor and
blind ; therefore please help Prince
ton.' " Dr. McCosh never attended
another Yale dinner.-Philadelphia

I asked Tom Fitz, who during tho
Hopkins administration owned ono
of tho biggest gambling institutions
in the city, his highest winnings and
losses in n single night at faro. Said
he: "In thoso days I took my meals
at the Boston Oyster House. A cer
tain redheaded waiter served mo.
He was kind and attentive, and his
'tips' were not small ones. Besides,
he received a fair salary. But as reg
ularly as Saturday night rolled
around I would lind him in front of
ono of my tableo, and ho never got
away with a emt. I watched him
play for two years, and finally one
night I told him tbat I didn't car:;
tor his money. In other words, I
baned him from tho game. Well,
one Saturday night, while 1 was
busy in another part of the building,
this waiter bought a stnok of chips
from a dealer, and by tho time I got
back to the table I saw him raking
in th? chips r.s if there was no ceil
ing or roofing to tho building and
that some oloud from above was
raining them down. Of course I
couldn't then object. So I let him
play along, expecting every minute
to seo his luck change. But it didn't.
He couldn't lose. The limit was
$100, and ho played it. In less than
an hour's timo 1 was counting out
white chips to him at $10 apiece, and
the yellows wero $500.
"At daylight I estimated that ho
had won about ?20,000. His luck
seemed so phenomenal that I sent
out for another dealer, hoping in
this way to break tho charm. But
he won on. I sent for another, and
still the chips went his way. I dealt
myself for a little while, but ho
would whipsaw meateverj' turn. I
quit him and turned him over to one
of the luckiest bnnk dealers that
could be procured in Chicago. But
we couldn't beat him. Ho would put
his bets down blindly, and the cards
would come his way. He didn't play
'sodas' nor 'singlo outs' nor 'double
outs.' He put chips down, and they
went back to him twicefold. Ho
called tho turn a half dozen times
for the limit.
"About noon Sunday, when all
the dealers were fugged out and it
looked as ii he would own tho shop
in a little while, I oalled for his
chips. I hud had enough. By that
time he was fairly drunk. He tried
to count, but he couldn't. In fum
bling with his chips he knocked
more than $500 on the floor to be
picked up by 'hangerson. ' He was
ahead of the game $46,700. I took
him aside and explained to him that
if he went out of tho building with
that much money he would bo rob
bed. He consented to let me keep it
for him-all but the $700. I gave
him this much in big bills and told
him that any time he wanted the re
mainder and would come soher be
could get it.
"Three days elapsed, and I heard
nothing of him. I became alarmed
and sent one of my men out to hunt
him up. His whereabouts could not
bo ascertained. But about closing
time on the following Wednesday
night he walked in. Of course he
was broke. Ho had forgot how much
he had left ...itli mc, and when I
counted ont $40,<jOO he seemed dazed.
He acted as if sober. Ho got to the
steps and hesitated. Then ho walk
ed back. He bought $r00 in chips
and commenced to play. At first his
former luck ran with him, hut in
the courue of ait hour ho struck a
wrong .streak, and before daylight I
had every cent of the $40,000 in the
drawer, and it belonged to me. It
is a fact that outside of whisky and
a few meals he had bought ho
hadn't provided himself with a sin
gle thing. In the way of personal
apparel he hadn't bought even a
shoestring. As he aroso from tho
table he looked at me appealingly,
as good as to say, 'Won't you buy a
drink?' 1 handed him $10 and told
him to go home. The following
night he served me at the restaurant
again."-Chicago Tim s-Herald.

A chrysanthemum and rt cabbage
met by chance at the door of ti
house where they had been left by
a florist and a grocer respectively.
"What part of the mansion aro

bage.
"The parlor," replied the chrys
anthemum. "And youl"
"Alas, fair cousin," rejoined the
cabbage, "I fear I am on my way
to the cellar 1"
"Call me not cousin!" said the
other arrogantly. "Weare not re .
lated at all. The cellar is a good
enough place for such as you."
Tlie humble cabbage said no
more, but a few days later they met
again by accident for one brief mo
ment. The cabbage reponed in tho
center of a large platter; the chrys
anthemum was in a coal bucket.
. "Whither are you going?" feebly
asked the chrysanthemum.
"To the dinner table," answered
the cabbage. "And yon?"
"Alas," responded the other, "I
anion my way to the garbage box 1"

different nations of tho world as the
basis of their bretni. In this coun
try, whero good bread, mndo from
spring and fall wheat Hour, is with
in the reach of all, rarely a thought
is given to the fact that, after all,
the inhabitants of only a small por- '
tiou of the earth's surface enjoy
such o food.
"In tho remoter parts of Sweden
the poor people make and bake their
rye bread ?wicca year and store
the loaves away so that eventually
they aro as hard as bricks. Farther
north still bread is mado from bar
I ley and oats. In Lapland oats, with
! the inner bark of the pine, are used,
j Tho two together, well ground and
I mixed, aro mp.de into huge nat
i cakes, cociod in ? pan over tho fire.
In dreary Kamchatka pine or birch
burk by itself, well macerated,
pounded and baked, frequently con
stitutes the whole of tho native
brend food. Tho Icelander scrapes
; the 'Iceland moss' off the rocks and
grinds it into lino flour, which serves
both for hrc^d and puddings. In
some parts of Siberia, China and oth
er eastern countries a fairly pulata
j ble bread is mado from buckwheat.
! In parts of Italy chestnuts are cook
! ed, ground into meal and used for
' making bread. Durra, a variety of
tho millet, is much used in the coun
tries of India, Egypt, Arabia and
Asia Minor for making bread. Hice
brend is tho staple food of the Chi
nese, Japanese and a large portion
of the inhabitants of India. In Per
sia the bread is made from rice limn
and milk; it is called 'lawash.'
j "Tho Persian oven is built in the
ground, about tho size of a barrel.
Tho sides aro smooth mason work.
The tire is built at tho bottom and
kept burning until the waii or side.?
j of the oven aro thoroughly heated.
: Enough dough to form a sheet about
a foot wide and about two feet long it
thrown on tho bench and rolled un
til about ns thin as solo leather; then
it is taken up and tossed and rollet!
form ono arm to the other and flung
on a board and slapped on the side
of tho oven, lt takes only a few mo
ments to bake, und when baked it in
spread out to cool. This bread it
cheap (a cent a sheet) ; it is sweet
and nourishing. A specimen of the
'hunger bread' from Armenia it
made of clover seed, flax or linseed
meal, mixed with cnlible grass. In
the Molucca islandia the starchy pith
of tho sago palm furnishes n white,
floury meal. This is made up inte
flat, oblong loaves, which are baked
in curious little ovens, each oven
being divided into oblong colls to re
ceive the loaves. Bread :is BIRO made
of roots in some parts of Africa and
South America. It is made from
manioc tubers. These roots ure a
deadly poison if eaten in tho raw
stale, but make a good food if prop
erly prepared. To prepare it for
bread the roots aro soaked for sev
oral days in water, thus washing
out tho poison ; tho fibers are picked
out, dried and ground into flour.
This is mixed with milk if obtain
able; if not, water is used. Tho dough
is formed into littlo round loaves
and baked in hot ashes or driod in
tho sun. "-Good Housekeeping.
Eager For Duty.
. Canon Hammond in his book, "A
j Cornish Parish," relates an incident
of a Cornish fireman of a small town
whom the sudden clang of the fire
bell summoned from his daily labor
to tho scene of the fire close by. He
viewed the llames for a moment or
two with a critical eye, and then,
turning to a neighbor in tho crowd,
remarked placidly:
" 'Tis a proper lire, sure 'uougb.
I must go bonie and put on my uni
form!"
Not less leisurely was the behavior
of a fireman of a certain small New
England town which had but recent
ly become tho proud possessor of a
fire engine. There had been several
quito needless alarms since the ad
vent of the gorgeous and glistening
new machine, and popular rumor
attributed the haste with which they
had been rung in part to a will
ingness on the part of the general
population to see tho fire eugine
turn out. So, when tho sound of tho
bells aroused him at midnight, this
hero thrust his bead out of the win
dow and hailed a boy running by.
"Hello, there! ls it any lindy's
haycock'/"
"No!" th? boy called back over
his shoulder as ho turned tho cor?
nor.
"Tchk I" said the fireman,thought
fully choking Iiis tongue against his
teeth. Just then a man raced down
the street.
"Hi there, you!" he called to him
as ho dashed past. "Is it a hencoopi"
"No!" the man shouted back. "It's
a house."
"Then, Maria." said tho fireman
to his wife resignedly, as ho began
groping for bis boots, "I kinder
guess I might's well bo startin
