One story of Dan Rice, the veteran circus flown, illustrates his strict sense of honesty nud gratitude for favors. Once he wsi struuded In Cincinnati, the story goes, ami was unable to start a vhow on the read become he had no tont and could not raise money to buy one. The tent Rice needed would be worth $2.800. The manager of a tent concern sent for the clown one morn lag and. taking him to his factory, showed ? l>isr tent that was just finish? ed. Rico looked at it with hungry eyes, lie turned away, with a sigh. "Fine tent, don't you think?" asked the canvas maker. Rice looked back at It over his shoul? der, with another deep sigh. "It's yours," said the tent man. Uice was like a playful kitten in an Instant. "I believe there is a lot of money In you yet," said the canvas man. "You take that tent and start your show, and if you ever get money enough to pay me for It the price Is $2,500." Within two weeks Rice wns ou the road with a show and began a success? ful career. For 15 years he never re? ferred to the tent, although he often mot the man who made it. One after? noon he askfd the tent man to be his guest at one of his shows, then In Cin? cinnati. The two sat looking on, and Rice remarked: "Fine show, don't you think?" The canvas man declared that it cer? tainly was. "Ry the way," added Rice, "here's that $2,500 1 owe you." He took a roll of bills out of his pocket and handed it to the tentmaker, who pocketed it with? out unrolling it. The old tent man lov? ed to relate this story and always de? clared that the great men of this coun? try were P. T. Itanium, John Robinson and Dan Rice.-New York Mail and Express. THE BABY'S LITTLE JOKE. It Worried the I'nt Mnn, hut lie Tried to F.itjoy It. It happened in one of the late trains. Everybody was tryiug to get to sleep, and whOU the voice of a baby was sud? denly lifted up In a robust wail it was not met with expressions of joy. It cried steadily from Spring Garden street to Columbia avenue. Then it accidentally dropped a pasteboard box It had. A very stout and. like his kind, very affable man across the aisle ?looped heavily and picked it up. The child stopped crying as it took it and promptly dropped it again. The man, thinking i{ an accident, picked It up once more. This time the baby actually smiled, and as he threw it down audibly cooed with delight. The man looked distinctly uncomfortable and became Interested in something outside the window. The child looked at the box a moment, then at the man, and, seeing nothing else, resumed his wail, with much added wind. The look of despair resettled on the face of the woman with the headache, and she gave a convulsive shudder as she felt her head beginning to jump. She gave one awful glance at the baby and |hOU leaned over to the stout man, back of whom she was sitting. "My dear sir," said ehe, "I have a vio? lent headache, and I am in misery. Won't you please pick up that box again?" And with a highly artificial smile he complied. Out of pure cour? tesy he became a box lifting autom? aton, his piles of adipose making each stoop come harder. Hut when he wip? ed the perspiration from his brow and staggered out of the car at German town he got a grateful smile from the atllietcd woman, as well as every other passenger, that he felt paid him.? Philadelphia Inquirer. Snow Klean. One of the strangest of all specks on snow Is the snow Uea?no mimic flea, but an actual living and very lively midget, whose swarms sometimes cov? er UM snow in patches as black as ink or convert large spaces of its surface to a dark gray color.

A well known wettern representa? tive in congress, pleading nu engage? ment, left a small group of talkers in au up town hotel lobby, and an elderly man, whom he had Introduced to the party, made hohl to tell a story about the departed. "I have known him." he said, "ever since lie was a hoy. and when he came out of college he was undecided wheth? er to become a lawyer and politician or go to a theological seminary and be? come a clergyman. ' He was fond of politics and thought that with a little law and more religion on the side he might become a great moral reformer. You know that's the way most all very young men feel when they undertake politics for the first time. "However, before he had had time to determine finally what he would do, his friends came after him to run for the legislature, as he had tho availa? bility and a pretty fair amount of cash. This brought him face to face with the question he had been much dis? turbed over, and he went to Judge Blank, a veteran in politics and a man of the highest character, for assistance in solving the problem. He stated his case in full to'the judge, and the grand old man put his hand on the young man's shoulder. M 'My boy,' he said, as only he could say it, *it can't be politics and religion. It must be one or the other. You can't fit yourself for heaven and for the leg? islature at the same time, and there's no use trying. That is all I can say, and you will have to make your own choice.' "?^Yashington Star. A KAFFIR SMOKER. The Native Women Arc KnthnnlnNtic Devotees of the Weed. In South Africa the native women smoke incessantly. Your native serv? ant smokes as she cooks and as she washes. The tobacco she likes is rank. Tho dainty cigarette an English or Russian lady of fashion enjoys, smoked through a quill so that no nicotine can stain cither teeth or lingers, would be sneered at by a Kaffir. "Give me a pipe and something in it I can taste," is in effect what she says. The men Kaffirs are beyond tobacco. They smoke something so vehement that it makes them cough and splutter, lose their breath, choke and sneeze to an alarming degree. They like snuff, too, and are fond of offeriug and taking pinches of "it ("schniff" they call it) when they meet and visit one another. Regarding tobacco as too mild for their taste, the Kaffirs take another weed and smoke that. They proceed to arrange a smoking party by squat? ting on the ground and getting ready their "pipe," a cow horn with a thin tube in it inserted half way down at right angles to the horn. The end of the tube is in a basin, and it is from it that the smoker sucks the strong stuff that makes him incapable of anything but a series of coughs and chokes for some time after he has had his turn at the pipe, which is passed roiw&l from man to man until a perfect chorus of coughs rends the air. The tobacco the Boers smoke looks like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor, yet Englishmen who have become used to it acquire such a taste for it that they never ask for any other kind.? London Mail.
