HE SAW THE SIGN. C«u«0 of the Smaihup at Told by tha Old Darky Driver. The old darky was suing tbe railroad company for damages. The man contended that, not being warned by whistle or engine bell, be had started to drive his rig across the company s track when a shunted box car of said company crushed iuto his outfit, causing the death of the horse, loss of the wagon and minor injuries to himself. After the prosecution had closed its side of the case the company’s lawyer called the old darky to the stand and went at him. “Mr. Lamson," he began, “your rig was struck by the box car In full daylight, was it not?” “I fink dar was some clouds ovahead, sub,” answered the caviling witness. “Never mind the clouds! And only a few days before this accident the railroad company had put a new sign at that crossing?” "Dar was a sign dar; yaa^suh!” “And didn't that sign ^y: ‘Stop! Look! Listen?’” “Now, dar am de whole accusation ub de trouble!” declared the darky, with animation. “If dat ‘Stop’ sign hadn't caught dls chile’s eye jes’ 's Ah war square on dat track, dar wouldn’t 'a' been no smashup!’’—Bohemian.

THE DEADLY UNDERTOW.

What to Do When Caught In the Treacherous Currents. Those deadly undertows which sc often prove fatal to swimmers are produced by tides aud coast currents. The former only carry out at ebb tide; the latter usually zigzag along the shore. “If you are a robust swimmer," said a professor of the art, “you can generally overcome tbejn by quick, alert strokes. If, however, you do not at once succeed don’t persevere, for this is one of the exceptions to the rule about perseverance. Stop fighting before exhaustion comes and go with the tide or current. By resting a short time, floating or swimming leisurely, you will have time to take your bearings and either make another attempt or call for assistance. “Sometimes you will find the undertow runs parallel to the shore. You may then let yourself he carried along with the certainty that before long it will twist inshore, when a short spurt will bring you to safety."—Cassell’s Journal.

One Way to Judge. “Do you know," said the head waiter at a fashiou.ible restaurant, "that an experienced waiter can usually tell whether a diner is wealthy or not by the way he handles his meal check? If a man carelessly pitches out his money for the waiter to pay the 6lll without looking over his check we know the chances are that he isn't wealthy. He is indulging in a luxury and fears he might he ridiculed if he examined the check. On the other hand, the man who has plenty of money examines his check closely, ns a rule. If he finds an item which he thinks is wrong lie tells the waiter about it. It was probably just such care as that that made him rich. Is he laughed at? Well, 1 guess not. In fact, the waiters admire him for his carefulness, and the result is they are doubly particular about how he is charged.”—New York Press.

Shakespeare and His Plays. The Shakespeare-Bacon controversy is right where it began many years ago. The man from Stratford is still In possession, though there are many learned men who seriously question his rights. It has not been proved that Bacon wrote the plays or that Shakespeare did not write them. Cue thing the controversy has done, however—it has Immeasurably heightened the mystery of the fact. If it is a fact, that the plays were written by the historical Shakespeare. Between the Shakespeare we know in history and the man who wrote “Lear,” “Hamlet” and “Macbeth" there would seem to tie an unbrldged distance.—New York American.

The Way of New York. In New York you buy your theater tickets from a speculator for two prices, and after the show you bribe a waiter to bring you food for which you pay the jolly innkeeper two and one-lialf prices, after which you may be hauled home by a rheumatic horse if you pay the driver once for hauling you home and once for not getting down from his perch and booting you out of the hansom.—Louisville CourierJournal.

The Man With Tact. Casual Caller (to one next him)—1 was introduced to that squint eyed, red haired woman over there as Mrs. Somebody or other. Don't yon think the man was an idiot that married her? Next One (meekly)—I can't Just say. I’m the man.—Baltimore Amorlcan.

The Sequel. “Funny thing about Dubley. He said he needed a little whisky because he was run down.” * "Well, wasn’t he run down?” “I don’t know about that, but I do know he was run in.”—Catholic Standard and Times.

Suited His Temper. “You seem to find that book very Interesting,” said Mrs. Henpeck. “Yes,” replied Henry; "It's delightful. I’ve glanced at the ending, and the hero and heroine don't get married after all.’’—Washington Herald.

Whether a knave or a fool can do the greater harm Is one of tbe questions which twenty centuries of experience has not fully determined. — Dallas News. —' x-- — l •

t Baron Mantcufe 1 . f ♦. v v •> + v +■> <• -I- v+•»• •>* [Original.] Baron Gibers was the possessor of a fine estate in Pomerania. As a young man he was considered very fascinating by women aud before be was twen-ty-five had broken many hearts. But those w hose hearts he broke were more fortunate than those he married late in life, for when he was older lie would marry those he wished to possess, and they were always short lived. Ills neighbors who knew of his Bluebeard practices called him Baron Mantonfel (Baron Devil). By the loveliest of his wives the baron bad a sou. who as he grew up developed llis mother’s disposition. He was the baron's only child, aud, although of an entirely different character, his father lived with him on fairly good terms. When the sou, Herman Gibers, was twenty-five he went to his father one day aud told him that be had fallen in love aud wished to marry. “I very much approve of your decision,” replied the father. "I only hope the lady is young aud beautiful.” “Both.” And the son gave his father a glowing description of her beauty. “Very well, you may write her that I approve of your marriage with her. Indeed, I will go aud bring her here to you, and the wedding shall take place in this house Instead of hers. Her family shall he at no expense." Young Herman was delighted wltn his father’s complaisance in the matter, attributing it to the fact that his father, who was a widower and was getting old, wished to have the house lightened up by a woman’s presence. The baron a few days later ordered out his handsomest equipage and, arraying himself in his iiufest apparel, drove away for the bride. Herman passed a week impatiently, during which he heard nothing from his father or his fiancee. Then one daj' the two drove up to the house, aud when the lady stepped out of the carriage the barou presented her as his wife. He had dazzled her with his great wealth, thus obtaining her consent to marry him instead of his sou, who had nothing in Ins own right. Ilernmn Olbers went to live in a neighboring city. No one knew what effect the loss of ids bride had upon him. Whatever it jvus, he bore it with outward equanimity. The young baroness lived two years aud then died, as tbe baron’s other wives had died, of ill treatment. Her stepson did not attend her funeral, but about the time of her death he shut himself up from his friends, who divined the cause. Great was the surprise, however, soon after this seclusion when he announced that he was to be married. He gave out to a few cronies that he would not make public the name of his betrothed until immediately before the wedding for fear his father would again supplant him. That he was engaged soon reached the ears of his father, and one of Herman’s friends let out the secret as to why the name of the lady was not to be made known at once. This madq Manteufel furious. By bribery of those making preparations for (lie wedding lie learned the day and the place at which it was to take [dace. Gne morning a spy of Ids rode up to his house at a gallop to Inform 1dm that his sou. having heard that ids secret was out. was resolved to be married at once, and if the baron wished to anticipate him he had only time to reach the church. Mounting Ids fleetest horse, Mantel)fel spurred over tiie country furiously. He relied on his personal magnetism, towering will power and vast wealth to turn the bride in Ids favor even at the last moment. All be feared was that he would not get there in time. On the way he met one of ids servants, Whom he had sent out to spy, telling him to make haste,,as there was yet time. When lie reached a point a few leagues from the church he was met by another, who told him that the bridal party was driving to the church. Manteufel spurred on, to find when he reached the church steps that the bridal couple had entered. Flinging himself from his horse, booted and spurred as he was, he rushed down the aisle to'the altar, where the ceremony was just beginning “Madam,” he said to the bride, whose face was concealed by tier veil, “I have come to save you from a marriage which can only prove your ruin. My son lias no means except what 1 give him, and he is so worthless that I shall decline to support him. If you will consent to marry the wealthy Baron Olbers, I will give you every luxury.” Without waiting the bride's consent, taking her and the clergyman by storm, lie ordered the latter to go on with the service, taking himself the place of groom. The order was obeyed, the bride mechanically repeated the responses, and the couple were pronounced man and wife. Then the bride threw off her veil. If the word manteufel applied to the barou, frauteufel was equally applicable to the bride. She was a veritable hag. Tiie first words she spoke to her husband were: “I’ve got you, baron, with nil your wealth, and I’ll make good use of It as long us you live, though I’ve signed a contract to relinquish It to your son when you die.” Barou Olbers from that moment lived a life of horror. In vain he strove to master his wife and drive her away from him. His efforts were furious bursts of passion; hers were persistent bedevilment. Curiously enough, the baron lived the exact term of tiie married life of Herman’s mother. Barou Herman Olliers never married. W. LEROY WISE.

WATCH THE UPS. Their Sensitive Muscles Make Th Great Telltales. * l " “It’s a queer thing.” remarked the professor, “how people can COWro * their eyes and not their mouths.” The inventor with whom he happen ed to be talking made the comment $hat the professor probably tongues when speaking of mouths. “No, l didn’t mean tongues. 1 meant mouths.” the professor rejoined. “I mean, if you want to he soieutitk ,i iy accurate, the action of the lip IIU1 ^ cles. There’s nearly always, | u moment of excitement, of exaltation, depression or emergency. u telltale movement on thetr part which cant be guarded nsjhlust. Why can’t it be guarded against? Because it i s largely unconscious Most of us from our youth up have been trained to use our eyes and to use them in such # way ns to conceal our emotions, if, different with the mouth. Perhaps haven't advanced far enough to do two such Important things at tiie same, time. Anyway, the fact remains that' we don't do it. “If. for example, I have reason to believe that n man is not telling me the truth 1 don’t give my attention to his eyes. He may look at me as fearlessly as lie .wants. What I w a t C lt for is something significant in the region of his face below the nose, if there is no change in the expression of his lips I am disposed after all to believe him. But If there is the least tumbling or twitching, the least exbi. hition. let us cal) it. of nervousnesswell. then, I have my doubts." “I suppos. •’ observed tbe Inventor, “that while that fact docs not explain the wearing of the mustache it showa that the mustache has uses." “It does." returned the professor, “but you must remember that the mustache, as a rule, doesn’t obscure tbe lower lip. And the lower lip, if you'll take the trouble to notice, is if anything more revelatory than the upier one. It is usually that lip which gives the expression to the mouth. The upper lip follows suit, ns it wore." “Well, well." said the Inventor, fingering his mustache.—New York Press. A KING'S UNDRESSING.

The Ceremony Was a Wonderful One In Louis XVI.'s Time. In “Memoirs of the Comtesse de Bulge" (1781-1814), edited from the Original manuscript by Charles Nieouilaud, is found the following realistic description of the “eoucher” of hoois XVL: “The king’s coat, waistcoat and shirt were taken off. He stood there nuked to the waist, scratch,ing and rubbing himself ns if he tiad been alone, in the presence of tiie whole court and often many strangers of distinction. The first vnlot handed the nightshirt to the most Jiighly qualified person, to one of the princes of the blood if any were present. This was a right and not a favor. When the person was one with whom he was on familiar terms the king would often play tricks while putting it on. stepping on one side to make the holder run after him, accompanying these charming jokes with loud guffaws, which greatly vexed those who were sincerely attached to him. When his shirt was on ho put on his dressing gown, while three valets unfastened tils waist bolt and knee breeches, which fell to his ankles, and in that garb, scarcely able to walk with these ridiculous fetters, lie would shuffle round the circle of those in waiting. When the king had had enough of it, he shuffled backward to an armchair which was pushed Into the middle of the room and dropped Into It, lifting up his legs. Two pages on their knees immediately seized his legs, pulled off the king's shoes and let them drop with a crash, which was a point of etiquette. As soon as he heard the noise tiie usher opened the door, saying, ‘Gentlemen will please pas s out.’ Those present went away, and the ceremony was finished. However, the person who was holding the can dlestlck was allowed to stay if be had anything special to say to the king, and hence the value that was attached to this strange favor.”

Unlucky Suggestion. An old vicnr had a groom who had been detected stealing bis master’s oats. The vicar had not decided what course to take, and meantime the groom had gone to the curate to ask him to plead for him, and the syaiP 8 ' thetlc young fellow hastened to tl' f rectory to appeal to tiie vicar. I' 1 * old vicar heard his curate out. hut looked obdurate, so as a last resource the curate quoted Scripture as a pl ( ' a for leniency and said we were taught when a man took our coat to let him take the cloak us well. “That’s true,” said the vicar dryly, "and as the fellow has taken my oat* I am going to give him tiie sack. ■" London Answers.
