Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, a short
time ago, incognita, did a slight act
of charity for a poor ignorant woman,
who, on meeting Mrs. Fish the second
time, bluntly asked her name. Mrs.
Fish told her, whereupon the woman
opened her eyes wide in astonish
ment and exclaimed: "What, Mrs.
Fish, the lady!" "I hope so," replied
Mrs. Fish with a smile. "Dear me,"
said the perplexed woman, whose lot
in life had made her sadly pessimis
tic, "how strange some ladies do act
nowadays!"—New York Times.

Reminiscence* of Men Who H»J
Seen Worse Days and Irrltntln*
Annonncements When They Were
Hard Up and Ont of Employment.
The advance agent met the leading
man of another show the other night
and, as they had not seen each other in
seven years, there was a warmness
about their greeting that was refresh
ing.
Dear old Tom!" said the leading
man. "I was thinking of you not five
mint tes ago. Sit down, you dear old
fellow! I passed a bakery not five miu
utes ago, and I thought of you. Why,
here's Willis! I was Just saying to
Tom that I never see a baker's that I
don't think of him. Tom and I were
poor once! Mighty poor too. I re
member that we had been turned out
of different homes on the same cold
night and met each other for the first
time by chance. We shared the com
forts of a butcher's wagon that night
and went upon a rummaging expedi
tion the next day. We halted in front
of a German bakery, half starved and
disgusted with life generally. There
was a huge sign in the window which
said, 'There Is No Cake Like Ours.' We
hadn't a penny between us, but Tom
stepped in and asked for a sample of
the cake. The Dutchman didn't ap
preciate the humor of the request, so
Tom said, 'You may keep your cake,
boss; but, say, give me a chunk of
bread, quick, or I'll cut out your giz
zard.' I'll never forget that enke sign
because it took us hours to get away
from the police who were attracted to
the scene by the baker's cries for help.
"But that was not my only experi
ence with a peculiar sign," remarked
the advance agent after a hearty laugh.
"The year before I went on the road
for the first time I was in as hard luck
as over mau was. I had pawned ev
erything in sight and was almost starv
ed. I found an umbrella In the hall
way of a down town building, and the
janitor told me to keep it.' It was a
fairly good rain shield, and I immedi
ately carried It to mine uncle. I didn't
know this particular relative, although
I had formed the acquaintance of hun
dreds of his people. His place was on
Sixth avenue, and he gave me 75 cents
on it, which I gladly accepted. As he
was making out the ticket he said:
" 'Do you want to save it from the
moths?'
" 'Yes,' I answered.
" 'That will cost you 12 cents. Per
haps you would like to have it Insured?
It is always advisable, but It will cost
you 12 cents more,' replied my friend.
" 'All right,' I said. 'Take good care
of it.' He could have eaten it for all i
cared, for I never intended to redeem
it. I was about to leave the place when
I saw a big sign on the far wall. It
said:
'No extra charge for putting watch
es and jewelry in the safe in the office.'
"Watches and Jewelry! It brought
the tears to my eyes, and as I crawled
into my 10 cent bed that night I
thought of diamond necklaces, pearls
and rubles of priceless value and—cake.
Oh, the curse of some signs! How they
mock the poor!"
They were all silent a moment, but
the one addressed as Willis was the
first to resume conversation, and be
said:
There's my friend, Big John Smith.
Let me introduce him. Since you chaps
are talking of signs and hard luck, let
me tell you of the time that 1 bad to
leave my trunk at the old Stevens
House, on lower Brondway, and light
out by the shades of midnight to get
away from a hotel bill that I couldn't
pay. Everything 1 bad in the world
was locked up in that trunk, and as 1
could not remove anything without ex
citing suspicion 1 thought it best to
keep out of jail by leaving everything
behind me. I must have walked the
streets at least a week famished and
penniless. One afternoon I was pass
ing along an up town street, hoping to
die, when I happened to look up and
saw a sign ns big as my hopes were
Btnall. This sign read:
" 'We Are Not Daylight Robbers.
Trunksl Trunks! From the Battery
to the narlem Bridge to Your Room
For 25 Cents.'
"If that sign was not the Irony of
fate in my case, I do not know what
to call It."
"Oh, that's a small affair alongside
of my experience," said Smith. "It Is
only a few years ago too. I had been
unemployed for several months, and as
I had six little shavers to take cqre of 1
did not have much trouble spending the
little money I had saved. I didn't seem
to have a friend in the wide world to
turn to, and I spent my last copper for
a paper to examine the employment col
umn. It was about Christmas time,
and I dreaded going back borne to face
the scolding landlord. 1 recall that
stopped In front of the Harlem office
of a newspaper to see the holiday
crowd go by, and as I did so 1 saw a
sign that made my blood run cold
■aid:
" 'There Is No Reason Why You
Should Be Idle. Insert a Want Ad.
Four Cents a Line.'
"The pronoun was printed in Im
mense letters, and I bad the greatest
trouble dissuading myself that It was
not Intended for me. and me alone.
Of course It wasn't, but that sign burn
ed into my memory, and I have
thought of it Innumerable times since."
"Oh, pshaw!" rejoined the leading
man after a pause. "I suppose It is im
possible to please everybody with pub
lic signa I saw one in Buffalo once
which said: 'Attention, blind men.
Read this and be cured,' which referred
to a new treatment for the blind. All
signs cannot be expected to satisfy tbe
ideas of everybody."—New York Mall

The Captala of an Ocean Liner.
Nowadays the captain is tbe host of
the ship. He is no longer the gruff,
tough seadog in a pea jacket of years
gone by. He mast observe some of the
social amenities; he must talk to the
passengers now and then when the
weather is fine; he must take his seat
at table when he may; he must be a
kind of diplomat also and possess wit
and tact and a patience sublime; he
must see that no jealousies develop
among the passengers. I have beeu
told of tbe very obliging captain who,
to please the lady who askçd to be
shown the equator while the ship was
in southern seas, pasted a hair across
the large end of a spyglass and told the
lady to look. And the lady through the
glass declared she could see the equa
tor "as plainly as A B C." One other
polite captain I have heard of—one who
directed an officer on the bridge to "do
as the lady wishes," when the lady re
quested that the captain steer the ship
over to tbe horizon so she could see
what the horizon was like.—Captain
Jameson in Collier's.
A Korean Prison.
The gate was wide open, and the
courtyard was full of prlsoners,and the
surrounding buildings were old and
tottering. I asked the chief, whom one
of the two or three listless attendants
called for us, why the prisoners did
Sot run away. "Oh," he replied, "they
would be caught and beaten again and
kept longer. Now they will get out
soon."
But as I looked at them 1 saw they
did not run because they could not.
The life was beaten out of them. The
keepers brought the heavy red cord
with a brass hook at the end and
trussed up a man with it to show how
the beating was done and then brought
us the stiff rods with which victims
were pounded over tbe shins and
thighs until the beaten spots were sim
ply masses of festering rottenness.

Those who understand the subject
have to admit that when it comes to
the question of rational dress the Chi

Comets of the Past Century.
During the nineteenth century 235
new comets were discovered as against
02 in the eighteenth century. The
nineteenth century also beheld a great
er number of large and brilliant com
ets than did its predecessor. Tbe finest
of these were the comets of 1811, 1843,
1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1800
only one periodical comet was known,
Halley's. Now many are known, of
which at least 17 have been seen at
more than one return to perihelion.

Railroad Assessment by the State
Board of Equalization
In considering the valuation of rail
road property for taxation purposes
the state board of equalization made
a horizontal increase of 2 1-2 per cent
on all roads except the Big Horn
Southern, or Burlington, and the
Montana railroad. The board reduc
ed the Big Horn Southern from $4,000
per mile, the sum at which it was
assessed last year, to $3,500 per mile
This reduction was made on the show
ing of R. M. Pollard, the tax agent of
the Burlington, that the road lost
$90,000 in Montana last year. The
per mileage valuation of the Montana
railroad was increased from $1,200 of
last year to $1,500 on account of the
belief of the board that there should
be an increase in the valuation of
ad.
ial
I to
that road. The mileage of the roads |
in the state has increased about 47
miles since last year's assessment. It
is understood that Auditor Calder
head was the most pronounced advo
cate of a larger increase than the
board made, but the majority thought
that 2 1-2 per cent would be about
right.
