A STORY OF DAN RICE.
The (.rent Clown Did Not Forget the
Teat >laii H Hill.
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

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.?

THE JUDGE'S ADVICE
Given to a Man Who Wavered Be?
tween Kelluion and Polities.
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.?
