A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
Tk* Foaklir Might Have Done the
Work Better After All.
"Whntareyon fellows all langbing
it?" asked a Woodward avenue bnsineca
man. as be approached a balf dozen
men *boal a down town lunch table.
" We're not all laughing. " responded
tbe big man at the bead of the table.
"Look at J one-. A weakly smile is tbe
very beet that be can da He bad an ex
perience. He" ?
"Never mind." interposed Jones.

with a lot of imaginary filigree work.
I bad an immense gilt sign to put across
tbe front of my establishment. Three
carpenters camc to size np tbe job, bat
it was soon evident to me that they
were iu a combine. Tbeir figures did
aot rar 7 materially and suggested that
I might be going to bnild or paint, in
stead of place a sign. One of these
perambulating mechanics, with his tools
in a pushcart, came along while I was
trying to talk reason into tbe carpenter
trust. He promptly entered into the
oompotition and cnt tbeir rates 70 per

" Tan you do it right?' I inquired.
"Ho was very positive that be ooold,
and I gave him the contract. Ho went
to work about 3 and finished after
dark."
"Good work?"
"Good work? Solid as a rock
Thought we'd never get it down."
"What nnrier the heavens did yon
want it down (or?"
"Ob, nothing special, " sighed Jones.
"It was only wrong fide op." ? Detroit

The Spider.
Now, when tbe spider badcangbt tbe
fly, as previously related, mankind
laughed jeeringly.
"Ob, yoo are not so warm, either!" ,
muttered the spider, with a malignant
glitter io bis eyes.
Saying which, the spider fell to work
and apun cobwebs all over a bottle of
wine which bad hitherto sold for $1 a
gallon, and straightway it commanded
? price of $5 a quart.

Then was a quiet little aenaatiod at
tbe postoffice yesterday afternoon. It
was created by a moat oat of the ordi
nary letter oarrier. Instead of the regu
lation cadet gray be wore a rait of bair,
?potted brown and wbite. He entered
the postoffice at shortly after 9:30. He
oanied several letters in bis month.
Paying no attention to anybody, be trot
ted over to the window at which tbe
outgoing mail ia received, stood npon
bis bind legs with his fore paws on the
partition and oongbed. The letters flut
tered In through the window and tbe
strange letter carrier paddled off as non
chalantly as though hundreds of people
wero not staring at him from every side.
Tbe silent litter carrier was a dog.
He wasn't a big dog, nor was be a par
ticularly handsome dog; but it was evi
dent be was good. Where be came from
at where he was going to he didn't aee
fit to say.? Kansas City Times.
What Hla Voir* Larked.
A soldier who served in Cuba tells
tb* Boston Globe tnat one night after a
march it happened that a few of tbe
boys pitched their tents in close prox
imity to tbe tent of an officer of another
oompany. Tbe boys were talking quite
loud, as taps had not been sounded.
"Hush np out there I" shouted the
offloer angrily.
"Who are yon?" asked one of the
boys.
"I'll show you who I am if I come
out there I" was tbe answer.
Tbe talking continued, and soon oot
came tbe officer. His anger was great,
and he threatened to report tbe men to
their colonel, winding up with, "Don't
you know enough to obey an officer?"
"Yes," replied one of tbe boys, "and
we should have obeyed you if you bad
had shoulder straps on your voice. "
A friend, intimste with the prison
system of Switzerland, was telling me
tbe otber day of tbe fearful torture that
the sentence of perpetnal seclnsinu
passed on Luccbeni, tbe assassin of the
empress of Austria, involves.
For tbe first six months be will be in
a dungeon eight feet nndergTuund. wbere

A I'aeful Invention.
There is an invention of tbe English
which means so much comfort to tbe
bondholder that it should lie imported
It consists of a conple of pulleys and
ropea for tbe opening and shutting of
heavy windows. The pulleys are high
np in the framework of tbe window
and there is some little arrangement in
tbe sash which fastens tbe cortla. Two
handles at the ends of tbe two pieces of
rope fall where they can be convenient*?
ly reached. One is dark, tbe other is
light. Tbe dark one is for "down," so
that when the window is to be oponed
one has only to pnll tbe dark handle,
and down comes the window Wbou tbe
window is to be closed, the light baudle
is pulled, and the window sash is lifted
