I This la the doleful story.

And the newsboys yell together.
Boosting the "ustry” sales:
King Casey played Cor the Mud villa*.
Darge were his brawny nets.
He waa a worldwide wonder
At killing the pitcher's twists.
But hark to the tale of his downfall—
Two strikes were called raid din;
Then, ere the third came hurtling.
Square eet was Oder's chin.
Swiftly the pill came floating
Over the rubber pan.
And wild was the swipe of Casey.
Missing by half a span.
Thus were the Mudvllles beaten.
Downed in the pennant race.
Thus was proud Casey humbled*
Deep waa the king's disgrace.
This la the horrible atory
Told as the twilight rails.

After a moment's hesitation the old
gentleman chose the latter applicant.
A friend who wus present evinced a
good deal of surprise at the selection
and asked, "lias that man worked for
you before?"
"No.’’ replied the old gentleman. "As
a matter of fact. I never saw cither of
them until toduy."
"Then why did you choose the short

•‘Face!" exclaimed the old man In

Gladdening a Humorist.
The financial burden which Mark
Twain carried some years ago weighed
on his mind heavily. In thoso mo
ments of despondency there was one
tactful friend who conld make the hu
morist forget his troubles. This was
Dan Beard, the artist who Illustrated
some of Twain’s books.
"Dan Beard, tbero Is no tonic that
can equal the company of a cheerful
man," said the humorist as be entered
the artist’s studio.
"Ah, but X have such a pleasant sub
ject to work upon that I am not In
need of either man or tonic for my
cheerfulness," retorted the artist
MBeg pardon; It Is I that need the
tonic, and that Is why 1 am here'"
said Twain forlornly.
"Then allow me to prescribe a does
of yonr own medicine." And Mark
was handed a copy of his book which
Beard had been studying,
"I thank you,” replied the humorist.
"It took me a year to get that iqedl
clne out of my system, and I do not
propose to Imbibe It again."
A discussion of the book was fol
lowed by a hearty dinner, and Twain
left bis friend, having received the
cheer that he needed.
The Alligator’s Tongue.
On one occasion when traveling
along the west const of Africa with an
old skipper who had known many
missionaries,' but “did not see the use
of them,” Bishop Tnylor-Smlth was
obliged to endure a string of taunting
questions, such as “What was the
good of spouting st Exeter hall?’ and
“What did missionaries know, any
way ?'
At last the bishop could stand It no
longer. Turning to the skipper, he
said: “I know you are an expert. Con
you tell me the length of so alligator’s
tongue?*’
"Certainly,” was the reply, "but It
depends on the length of the alilgntor.”
"Very well, then; given an alligator
fifteen feet long, what would be the
length of Its tongue?’
"Three feet,'* was tho answer.
But the bishop, who had kept alli
gators and watched their ways, knew
better. "It is evident that you are an
authority on the west coast of Africa,”
he said, "but it is also evident that
some people see more In ten minutes
than others In twenty years. Let me
tell yon that an alligator has no
tongue.’*
Declined the Job.
