Illogical.
? well-known litterateur oot JOOST ago
delivered a leetore before a Buffalo
club, aod io the course of bis talk he
had occasioo io quote Shakespeare's
Hoes about "ooeasj lies the bead that
wears a ero wo," ete. At roe conclu?
sion of hts address he was approached
by a Scotchman, who expressed his
pleasure at tbe talk, but took occasioo
to say that bis approbation of Shake
apeare was only limited.
"There's that bit you said about the
uneasy bead aod the crown. I dinna
like it. It's mackie foolish. Now oar
Robbie B?ros would na ha' writ such
stoff."
The lecturer was a trifle surprised,
bot inquired politely why the Scot
thought as he did.
.-Ob," said the Scotchman, "there's
aa a mon in Scotland, kiog, or any?
body else, sae foolish as to go to bed
wi' a crown oo. Aoy moo o' sense
wud bang it over a chair before turo
iog in !"-Walter C Nichols, io the
4-Editor's Drawer/' of Harper's Maga
sine for March.
The Hf oral of the Tale.
In a little Southern town where
tbe least happening was of vital
importance and lengthly conversa
tion/ a worthless citizen entered a
store during the proprietor's
absence, and abstracted his entire
cash capital, done up in two canvas
sbot-pouches The robbery _ was
scon-detected, and the robber found.
He made a full confession, delivered
np the money, something over a
hundred dollars, and .was dragged to
tbe county jail, several miles away
The incident, however furnished
conversation for the entire commu?
nity, and the daring robbery was
discussed on all sides. The news
came to a country-house, and was
retailed at length to the family in
tbe presence of a small Ethiop who
acted as sub-butler and choreboy.
After the capture and imprisonment
of the offender had Deeu related,
the mistress, wishing to point the
moral to the miniature darkey, re?
marked :
"Well, that is what comes of
stealing. Isn't it terrible, Jen?
nings?"
"Deed, mam, Miss Page,"
answered thc- black youth laboring
under the name of. Jennings
M 'deed it am ter'ble. Dat po* man
didu' have no chance '"tall ter spend
dat money."-Fiom ? the "Editor's
Drawer," in Harper's Magazine for
March.
Not a Fish-Story.
"Speaking about forgetfulness,"
said Mr. Gasser, as ne mechanically
drew a letter from his pocket that his
wife bad given him to mail a week
before, "I presume that I am the
most forgetful man that ever you
saw. I can't help thinking. Gill
back, of the time I .went blue-fishing
last year on the Jersey coast"
"This isn't a fisb-story, is it ?"
mildly observed Gillback.
"Oh no, not at all,''* replied
Gasser ; "although, come to think
of it, we did catch a big fish, an
almighty big fish; but that's not to
the point. You see, it was agreed
that if we had any luck we were to
dine on the boat, and it being only a
catboat with no cook, I was given
charge of the cooking outfit. Well,
sir, you may not. believe it-you may
think it incredible-but I came
away and forgot one of the most
important things. Now what do you
suppose I forgot ?"
"I haven't the least idea," said
Gillback.
"Well, sir," went on Gasser, "I
actually forgot the dinner plates.
Of course if we hadn't been so lucky
we wouldn't have needed them."
"Certainly not," chimed in Gill
back. "But you did catch a fish,
you say V
"A fish !" exclaimed Gasser.
"Well, rather. It was the biggest
fish you ever heard of. Yes, sir, I
dressed bim, cooled bim and
served him with my own
hands That, however, is not
what 1 intended to dwell on. I
merely wanted to show you how for?
getful a man can sometimes be. The
idea of my not thinking of those
plates! ".
But how in the world did you
serve that fish," asked Gillback, "if
you didn't have any plates to serve
it on ?"
"Easiest thing ia the world," said
Gasser, a gleam of intense satisfac?
tion coming into his eyes. "I used
the scales off that fish's back."-Tom
Masson, in the "Editor's Drawer,"'
of Harper's Magazine for March.
Southern BusinesTis Improv?
ing.
The Capitalist and the Home-Seeker
Coming This Way.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.-The Manufac
urer8' Record, in reviewing the busi?
ness conditions of the South for the
week, says :
Special reports from all parts of
the South show a revival of confi?
dence and a general expectation of a
steady improvement in business in
all Hues near by. There is broaden?
ing out of business interests, factor?
ies are gradually resuming operations
and the inquiry for machinery for
improvement of old plants as well
as for new ones is larger than for six
or seven months,
DuriDg the past week there have
been many evidences of the way the
South is attracting the attention o
outsiders who are looking for desira?
ble investments as well as homes.
An unusual number of exursionists
from the North and West, carrying
capitalists anet home seekers7 have
been inspecting mineral' timber,
farming and factory lands m Arkan?
sas, Alabama, Mississippi and
Texas A large party of prominent
coal operators of Chicaob and other
Western cities have been examining
Kentucky coal fields with the view
of handling Kentucky coal on a
large scale and also of investing in
coal properties
At Noriolk a belt railroad, a ware?
house and compress company
and several other new enter?
prises are taking shape. At
Atlouta a $500,000 company has
been formed to engage in estab?
lishing country banks wherever
good openings are found. Among
other important enterprises reported
for the week is a $500,000 cotton mill
in South Carolina, and ll mile canal
in Florida by Baltimore capitalists,
an extensive coke plant in south
west Virginia, a $125,000 coal j
company in Kentucky, a $90,000
brick and tile company in,Mississip?
pi., etc.
There is an increasing demand
for municipal improvements noted
and during the week a number of
contracts were let for several sewer?
age systems, water works and elec?
tric light plants..
Betsy Patterson Bonaparte.
Mme. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister-in-law of an emperor, was born in
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned to her native land,
where she passed the last years of her
life.
One of the old lady's crack stories in
ner latter days was of a lesson in eti?
quette given her by the black butler of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish?
ing a second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
at the head of the table, put it down
with a great flourish on the sideboard.
"But I wanted another cup of tea,"
said Mme. Bonaparte.
"Did you, mum?" blandly asked Un?
cle Bob. "Yon see, mum, you put your
spoon in de saucer, an that means you
doan' want no mo* tea. When you
wants some mo' tea, de c'rect way is
to put de spoon in de cup-like dis
hean, " and Uncle Bob gravely illustrat?
ed the "c'rect" method of procedure.
The family were on thorns, expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law of
an emperor, although there is no doubt
that a black butler in his own baili?
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.
After 50 years of money getting and
money saving, she realized in the lat?
ter part of her life how futile it ?ll was
and explaimed grimly, "Once I had
everything but money! Now I have
nothing but money."-Boston Tran?
script.
A Baee of Giant Cannibals.
Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe?
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than 60 miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of a race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov?
ery was made by a west coast natural?
ist early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr. McNamara,
the scientist referred to, has a photo?
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over 7 feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can?
nibalism among them.-St. Louis Re?
public.
What Decided Him.
"It's no use, '' said the poet to the bar?
ber, "I will have to get my hair cut."
"All right. Want it pretty short?''
"Close up. 1 want the job attended
to thoroughly. "
"Long hair ain't in style any more,"
: ventured the barber in an effort to be
genial.
"lt isn't the style I care for. Just
a few minutes ago I was introduced to
a man and he said, "Which do you play,
football or the piano?' "-Washington
Star.
