"My dear," said the young father,
"there Is one request I want to make
of you."
"What is it, dear?"
"I wish, dear, that you wouldn't talk
this baby talk to our child. It's ab
surd. The idea of saying 'kltcby-fcitchy-kee'
and 'whose wizzlcuns is
'oo?' to a human being is little less
than barbarous. Don't you let the
neighbors do it, either."
"I'll try not to, dear," she answered,
patiently. "But it seems to amuse
Dorjy so much."
"Don't call him 'Dorjy,' either. It's
positively idiotic. His name's 'George,'
and there's no use of starting him out
In life with a vocabulary like a Poly
nesian national hymn."
"But he's a little fretful today and
wants to be amused."
"There are rational -ways of amus
ing a child. You can sing to him."
"I have been singing to him."
"Well, give him to me, and I'll sing
to him awhile."
She passed the baby over, and he
proceeded to do his best with the
toreador's song and the Bedouin love
song and various other selections.
The baby persisted in whimpering. He
continued to sing, and presently the
little one began to smile. In a little
while It was fast asleep.
"Sou have quieted him beautifully,"
the mother admitted. "By the way,
what was that song you sang over and
over again? It seemed so tuneful and
lively."
"Haven't you heard that?" he que
ried in astonishment "It's from the

"FLOWERPOT" INN. f
v
Theodore Hook, wishing to visit Sun
bury, was recommended to the "Flower
pot"' inn. Xow there resided, it seems,
at Sunbnry in a large house an elderly
gentleman, a bachelor of somewhat ec
centric disposition, whose ruling passion
was for his garden.
This was kept in admirable order and
decorated ruth a profusion of ornaments
in the ery height of suburban fashion
leaden Cupids, slate sundials, grottoes of
oyster shells and looking glass, heaps of
Hints and overburned bricks denominat
ed roekwork and, beyond all aud above
all, with a magnificent vase filled with
a flaming cluster of fuchsias, geraniums
and a number of plants with brilliant
blossoms and unutterable names which
faced the entrance.
Here one fine afternoon when the
flowers had reached their acme of reful
gence Mr. Theodore pulled up his den
net. A powerful pull at the bell brought
a sort of half groom, half gardener, to
the gate.
"Take the mare round to the stable,
put her in a loose box and rub her down
well. I'll come and see her fed myself
in a few minutes. Xone of you rascals
Is to be trusted."
So sajing the young gentleman threw
the reins to the domestic, marcbed
leisurely along the broad, brown, sugar
like looking walk, dexterously cutting
off here and there an overgrown carna
tion with his whip, and entered the Ball.
Giving another tremendous jerk to the
bell wire in passing, he walked into the
dining room, the door of which haft
pened to be open, took up a magazine
and thicw himself at full length upon the
sofa. A tidily dressed maidservant ap
peared at his summons.
"Bring me a glass of brandy and wa
ter, my dear, and send 'Boots.' "
"Boots, brandy and water!" exclaimed
the astonished gill.
"You may fetch me a pair of slippers
yourself, if you like; so make haste and
you shall have a kiss when you come
back."
Duped by the authoritative air assum
ed by the visitor (it would be indecorous
to suppose another motive), the at
tendant disappeared and speedily re
turned with the slippers, observing, "If
you please, sir, I have brought you a
pair, but they are master's, and he is
rather particular."
"Xonsense! Where's the brandy and
water?"
"He never leaves out the spirits, sir;
he always keeps the key in his pocket."
"He must be a deuced odd sort of
fellow then. Send him here."
"Master is dressing,' sir; he will be
down directly," and accordingly, after
a few minutes, Mr. made his ap
pearance in full evening dress.
"My good friend." commenced Hook,
without raising bis eyes from the paper,
"allow me to observe that the rules of
your establishment are a little incon
venient to travelers. I have been here
above a quarter of an hour and have
not been able to get so milch as a glass
of brandy and water. Bring me one Im
mediately, and let me know what you
have for dinner."
"I leally beg your pardon," said old
Mr. as soon as he could find .words,
"but I am quite at a loss"
"So am T, my good man for a glass it
brandy and -water, Bring'., that arid an
other for yourself, and" then I shall be
happy to hear whatever"""you have to
say."
"But, sir, you must, permit me to
ot.in" '
"I Vfas never in suSjp a detestable
house In my life, esclaimed Hoot,
starting up. "What do ypu stand there
"forr'instead of attending to my orders?
Am I to be kept here starving all night?
Bring the brandy and water, d ye hear.'
. The old gentleman "jrt'S struck pos
itively speechless, his, face purpled, he
seemed in imminent' "pferil of choking
mill me tuuutril i-uuiiu. ui ac, iuuij,u4'
tion and astonishment. ,l
"Why, the fellow's dtunk," pursued
Theodore; "disgracefully drunk at this
time of day, and in his own parlor, too!
I shall feel it my duty.' sir, to lay a
statement of this inexcusable conduct
before the bench."
Mr. sprang to the bell. "John!
Thomas! Turn this impudent scoundrel
out of the house!"
The arrival of the servants led to an
explanation. Nothing could exceed Mr.
Hook's regret. What apology could be
made? He was a perfect stranger to
Sudbury; had been directed to the
"Flowerpot" as the inn '"affording the
best accommodation, and, on seeing what
he imagined to be a gigantic representa
tion of the sign In question at the gar
den gate, he had naturally entered and
acted upon this erroneous impression.
This was the unkindest cut of all. To
find a stranger reclining in full posses
sion of his sofa and slippers was bad
enough, but to hear the highest achieve
ment of art he possessed the admira
tion of himself and friends and the envy
of all Sunbury, his darling vase to hear
this likened to an alehouse sign was
a humiliation which dwarfed into insig
nificance nil preceding insults. London

The Failures.
New York, Dec. 0. R. G. Dun &
Oo.'s weekly review of tradai. issued to
5ay said in part:
The approach of -a now year usually
brings so much of hesitation in business
that the small shrinkage this year is sur
prising. Probably never before have the
p. jdnctive forces of the country been so
largely cqvered by contracts at this date
insuring employment and profit far into
the coming year. This results, not from
any mere speculative excitement, but from
actual demands for consumption running
far beyond the producing capacity hereto
fore and pushing it to remarkable expan
sion. The increaso in foreign trado has
been insignificant compared with the in
crease of f24,000,000 in payments through
clearinghouses. For the week the pay
ments havo been 20.3 per cent larger than
last year and 33.1 per cent larger than in
Prices of pig iron are strongly main
tained, though extraordinary efforts prom

capacity within o year, because the entire
output of most furnaces for the first and
in part of the last half of next year has
been told alreadv.

of the fact that goods have advanced

Wheat has risen 3 cents and corn a frac
tion with decline in western receipts of
both. Atlantic exports of wheat for the
week, flour included, were only 3,59,677
bushels, against 5,636,767 last year, ana
Pacific exports 8S6.172, against 556,63d lost

It is black and soft and about as long
