HE HAD A BAD HABIT.
lad It Made Him a Poor Inmurance
Risk In Kentucky.
The manager of a life insurance com
pmny had the floor.
"Life insurance companies, " he was
saying. "are as particular about the
people they already'have on their lists
as they are about getting them on in
the beginning. They are rich. of course.
but they are no more anxious to take
in a man who will die of disease within
the first year or two than they are to
take in a perfectly healthy man and
have him hazard his life by taking per
sonal risks in dangerous pursuits or by
travel in unhealthy countries.
"I remember a funny instance that
occurred once while I was living in
New England. One of our $10,000 men
had a way of calling a man a liar in the
most careless and indiscriminate man
ner and with only the merest or no
provocation. One day he was in our
office and casually mentioned the fact
that he was going to make a trip to

"'Going to buy a pair of horses.'
"'Um-er-er!' hesitated the man

would stop in and see me."
" 'What for? Want me to buy a
horse for you ?,
" 'No: I want to arrange about your
policy.
" 'What do you want to arrange
about it ? Isn't it all right?'
" 'Yes. as long as you stay in this
country. But if you go down to Ken
tucky we'll have to advance the rate
until you come back.'
" 'Well, what in --,' began the
policy holder hotly. when the manager
interrupted him.
" 'Don't fly the track, my dear fel
low.' he said gently. 'It's all right here
and the rate is satisfactory to us: but.
by Jove. we can't give you the same
rate and let you go to Kentucky and
call men liars like you do in this sec

you oughtn't to expect it.' "-Wash

AN HONEST ARTIST.
He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For
a Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin.
Prince Napoleon. whom the Parisians
called "Plon Plon. " The prince used to
make abusive speeches against the em
peror, which people were only too ready
tc repeat to him: 'Let him alone.
Louis Napoleon would reply 'He is
too well known No one would turn me
out to place him on the throne."
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about "Plon Plon. "
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady. who
in her young days mingled with French
society, tells in her "Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes" a story as discred
itable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon
orable to a French artist.
w nile the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle of the
Alma, which the emperor had ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painter's
studio to make known to him the facts.
On leaving he said he wished the prom.
inent figure in the battle to be himsell
mounted on his white charger. He sent
the horse to the artist so that he could
paint its exact portrait. When the pic
ture was finished and invitations were
sent out for a "private view," the
white charger was seen, a prominent
fgure in the battle, but without a rider.
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest artist said the
horse should remain if the prince wish
ed, but no rider would be on it. "Tell
the prince I have never yet painted a
lie." The hint was taken. The prince
ordered the horse to be rubbed out.
The Business of a Theater.
A prosperous theater in the city of
New York may in a favorable season
do a business of more than $250,000
and keep in employment 150 persons.
There are 37 theaters, including the va
riety houses, in active operation in the
boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.,
while the borough of Brooklyn adds a
score or more. Everything which affects
business in general affects the theater
immediately.
A man will reduce his expenditures
for tickets to places of amusement long
before he thinks of cutting down his
supply of cigars, for the cigar belongs
to that class of luxuries which subtly
become necessaries, while the theater
habit, as any observant manager will
tell you. requires constant cultivation.
The management of a theater is there
fore an occupation requiring business
sagacity in a greater degree than it
calls for artistic taste. -W. J. Hender
son in Scribner's.

had half a dozen pairs.

SHE GOT HIM BACK.
How the Dog's Mistress Retained Her
Pet Spaniel.
When Mrs. Marie Nevins Blailme u,:,
married to Dr. W. T. Bull, her lpc:
e spaniel, Lion was hanished. After h l
e couple had been married a year B u:s
S Bull persuaded her husband to lh t !.1,
I return for a week, promisiu to i.ue
" him in the stable.
e Three days of Lion's visit had p-: .en
when as Dr. Bull was taking oil' iLi
overcoat in his office there came a rap it
I the inner door. It was so faint that at
first he did not notice it. Then when it
was repeated he said. "Come in." No
one came, but the rapping went on. He
opened the door, and there stood Lion.
i He had been knocking the door with a
1 little wooden box he held in his mouth,
3 addressed to Dr. Bull. The doctor took
the box, and Lion, too polite to intrude,
turned and walked in a dignified man
nor back up stairs. The doctor opened
the box and read the tiny note contain
ed therein, smiled and threw it in the
sorapbasket.
The next day Lion knocked and left
another note. The third time he came
there was a reply for him. The doctor
said, "Lion, wait." He took the box,
abstracted the note, put one of his own
in its place, and handing the box back
to the dog gave him a pat and sent him
up stairs. Here is a copy of Lion's notes
I and the reply they finally elicited:
DEAR DOcTOR-I am enjoying my visit to my
mistress very much. It was very kind of you
to invite me here, and I have tried to behave
the best I know how. It will be hard to leave
my mistress again. I wish you would like me
a little bit. Llow.
The letter which Lion carried back
to his mistress read:
Lio--You are such a respectable, well bred
fellow that your visit is extended indefinitely

MOIST WEATHER.
& Description of a Spell of Humidity
on the Wabash.
"Talking about rainy weather," said
the westerner, "I remember once out
in Indianapolis meeting a farmer who
took the most cheerful view of damp
nessof anybody I ever saw. Iasked him
if they had bad much rain down on the
Wabash that spring.
" ' Well, it has been a little damp,' he
answered. 'The day before I left home
I had to hang up 24 of my ducks. They
had got so water soaked that they
couldn't swim any longer. I planted
my corn in two feet of water, and I
don't expect over 30 bushels to the acre.
My wheat is looking pretty well, but
the sturgeon and catfish have damaged
it considerably. There was about 15
minutes' sunshine one day, and I
thought I would plant my potatoes, so
I loaded them on a scow and anchored
the scow in three feet of water, when it
began to rain again.
"'I wanted to go down on the bottom
lands next the Wabash to see if the
grass was growing for my hay crop, but
my wife said that as we didn't haveany
diving bell she'd rather I wouldn't. I
should feel kind of discouraged with all
the rain, but I've spent my odd hours
of leisure time-and the even ones, too,
on account of staying in out of the wet
-building us an ark. If it will only
rain another week or two until 1 get
her ready to sail, I'm going to take my
family out to Missouri by water for a
trip to visit our folks that moved off
out there because they didn't know
enough to stay in a place where they
were comfortable.' "-Boston Tran
script.
His Concern.
A commercial traveler on his trip
galled upon a well known chemist. He
was nervous as he put his hand in his
pocket and handed out a card.
"I represent that concern," said the
young man.
"You are fortunate," replied the
chemist.
The commercial traveler was encour
aged and said:
"I think so, sir, and the chemist who
trades with us is even more so. My firm
has the finest line of cosmetics in the
country."
"I shouldn't have thought it," slow
ly responded the man of medicines.
"Her complexion looks natural."
And he handed back the photograph
which the young man had given him
by mistake. He took it and left without
waiting to make any farewell remarks.

HIS FIRST THIMBLE.
Inventor John Lofting Made a For

"There is a rich family named Loft
ing in England." said a d;a.,r in fancy
articles. "the fortune of whose house
was founded by so apparently insignifi

"The first thimbles seen in England
were made in London less than 200
years ago by a metal worker named
John Lofting.
"The usefulness of the article recom
mended it at once to all who used the
needle, and Lofting acquired a large
fortune and great fame in the manufac

worker's art.
"The implement was then called the
thumb bell and was worn on the thumb.
"The clumsy mode of utilizing it
was soon changed, but when and why
the name thimble was given the article

"Lofting's thimbles, and, in fact, all
thimbles, were made of either iron or
brass, and specimens of them extant.
many of which are preserved as heir
looms, are crude and clumsy looking
things compared with the commonest
thimbles of today. although their cost
was many times as much.
"Today gold. silver, iron, ivory.
steel, sometimes glass and even pearl
and celluloid are utilized in making
thimbles. Since art needlework became
fashionable thimbles of elaborate work
nranship and great value, to accompany
the rich and costly implements and ma

HE ATE THE SOAP.
Garland Would Have Swnllowed It 1(
It Had Killed Him.
The late Augustus H. Garland, who
was attorney general under President
Cleveland. was very fond of practical
jokes and during his term of service in
the senate frequently turned the laugh
on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees
and Vest, with whom he was very
friendly, finally determined to turn the
tables. Mr. Garland had a habit, like
Voorhees, of munching candy, and Vest
and Voorheet made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to play their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
n,els prepared. with the interior filled
with brown soap. These they took to
the senate chamber and Voorhees placed
them (f, his deck. The lid l:eing off
when Mr. Garland sauntered down the
aisle he noticed them at once.
"What have you there. Dan ?" he in
quired.
Voorhees looked up carelessly from
his writing and responded: "Caramels.
Help yourself.'"
Garlar: needed no second invitation
and, picking up two or three, placed
one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed
away. his face betraying no sign of the
conflict within him. This alarmed
Voorhees. who went to Vest's desk and
said.
"He's eating them, Vest I What shall
we do? The stuff will kill him surel"
Senator Vest replied that it could do
no more than make him sick. Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the mouth from the soap
suds. He related the incident afterward
with great gusto and said he would
have swallowed it if it had killed him.

4t A LESSON IN COOKING.
f ow a Hobo Served L'p a Dish of
rl Roast Chicken.
ig "The first time I ran away from
to home I learned a trick or two that was
worth the while," said a well known
y business man. "I started out on several
i- unauthorized tours of adventure before
t. I reached years of discretion, but the
first is most vividly impressed upon my
memory. Three of us kids caught a
n freight train and got some 60 or 70
miles away from home before the first

n to spend the night. Several attempts to
t. quarter ourselves in empty box cars on
the side track of a little village only
resulted in our being chased away and
threatened with arrest, so we went to
the outskirts of the place and built a
fire on the bank of a little creek. Here
f we made ourselves as comfortable as
possible and one or two of us had actu
o ally dozed off for short naps when a
t regular hobo. a good specimen of the

a to know if we had anything to eat. Of
Li course we hadn't.

t chicken and bring it back. The veteran

I cleaned it and going down to the creek
wadded it up. feathers. feet and all. in
1 a big ball of yellow clay. This he rolled i
J into the fire and scraped the burning
I embers up around it. The clay soon,
f hardened. and we could see it amongi
the wood coals gradually becoming a
bright cherry red. When it did so, the
cook rolled it out again. let it cool a
little and then broke it open with a
stone. The feathers had stuck to the
baked clay and a clean, inviting chick- l
