THE STAGE HERO'S BOOTS.
They Are Faultlessly C'loan In Wet or Dry
Weather.
The stage hero always wears patent
leather boots, and they arc always spot?
lessly clean. Sometimes he is rich, and
lives in n room with seven doors to it,
and at other times ho is starving in a
garret , but in either event he still wears
brand-new patent leather boots. He
might raise at least three and sixpence
on those hoots, and when the baby is
crying for food it occurs to us that it
would be better if instead of praying to
Heaven he too'.; off his boots and
pawned them, but this docs not seem to
occur to him. lie crosses the African
desert in patent leather boots, does the
stage hero. Ho takes a supply with
him when he is wrecked on an uninhab?
ited island. He arrives from long and
trying journoys; his clothes arc ragged
and lorn, but his boots are new and
shiny, lie puts on patent leather boots
to tramp through the Australian bush,
to light in Egypt, to discover the North
Tole. lie goes boating i'i patent lea thcr
boots, he plays eriekot in them, he gees
fishing and shooting in them. Some?
times he is a gold digger, t-oinetimes a

he wears patent leather hoots.?James

A vmug railroad niun got into serious
trouolc recently over hi-s signature. His
name is not Jumcs Hlwyn Smith, but
that name will do.
"1 have been with the road a long

traveled on passes yourself, although
there is an inter-State commerce law. 1
thought I would put tho road right up

passes on that road should bo a work of

something to feast his eyes upon, so 1
went to work upon my signature and

thinking I pnttboold hen-track signa?

"The next batch that came in found
me more at leisure nnd I bethought mo
of my new Spcncorian copper-plate fist
and I put it on the pusses. Then I
breathed easier; the reputation of the
road war. redeemed.
"A few days later a man came in nnd
asked for my boss. II is face was Hushed,
his hair was standing straight up, and I
could see there was trouble abend for
some one, but I hadn't the faintest idea

office and a few minutes later 1 heard
his voice?I think it could have been
heard out on tho street.
" 'Yes, sir!' he exclaimed. Tut oft?

'Look at that signature? Klwyn Smith.
