"L l" TOOMBS AND STEPHENS. i now the Former Got Rid of ms Rival (or ' , 'the Senate. One day in court week in Georgia Gen. Robert Toombs drove up to the big gate of the yard in front of Mr. Alexander H. Stephen’s house, where he saw the statesman’s horse saddled and hitched to a rack. “Aleck, Aleck!” roared out ‘ Gen. Toombs. “Hello!” returned, the shrill pipe of the little statesman. "Going to court today, Aleck?” “Yes.” “Well, send your horse back and get in here With me.” So Mr. Stephens took the vacant seat - in the buggy, and presently Toombs said: “I wanted to have a. talk with you, Aleck, this morning. I wanted to ask your advice. People are writ- ing to me from every part of the State urging me to run for the Senate and pledging me their support. I believe I could be elected, and I wouldn’t hesi— tate for a. moment but for one thing. . It occurred to me that maybe you might want to come out for the place yourself. If you do, just say the word. and I Will'withdraw in your favor. I’d like to get it very much, but I wouldn’t think of coming out against an old friend and neighbor like you." In relating this incident afterward Mr. Stephens remarked, shrewdly: “Bob Toombs knew that I wanted to go to the Senate, but he understood me well enough to carry his point very easily.” It may be a sourCe of some comfort to people not quite so famous to know that even as great a man as Alex- ander H. Stephens was not always able to say “No’»’ when no other word in the English language was so emi- nently appropriate—New Orleans Pic- ayune. Money in Small Inventions. A certain American patent for fas- tening kid gloves yielded a. fortune of several hundred thousand dollars for its fortunate owner, and the inventor of a collar clasp enjoys $20,000 royalty a year as the reward for his endeavor. A new kind of sleeve button has made $50,000 in five years for its pat- entee, and the simple twisting of safe. ty pins in such a way that there is no possible danger of the point sucking into the child promises to enrich its owner beyond any of his early dreams of wealth.

Latest Man in the Company. Sixteen men had reported to the Pro- vost Sergeant for fatigue, and were lined up in front of the guard tent to receive instructions. The “provo” had decided that fifteen men would be enough for the work he had in hand. and so he told the sixteen men. Of course, each one had some particular reason why he should be excused, and the provo was in a quandary. After thinking :1 second he gave the com- mand, "Attention! The laziest man step to the front. I am going to let him go home.” Fifteen men stepped to the front. Addressing the man who had not moved, the provost asked him why he had not stepped out. “Cuz I’m too blame tired,” came the an- swer. It is unnecessary to add that he was the man to go home—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1 Snakes in Place of Cats. 9 i 1 They appear to be turning snakes to a good account in Brazil, for rats have become so abundant there that a do- mestic snake, the glboya, which has about the circumference of the arm, is sold in the market place in Rio Janeiro to be kept in the house as a protection against rodents. It would seem that _ the serpent pursues its prey more for the pleasure there is in it than from a sense of hunger, since it is said it rarely eats the rats caught. Similar in its habits and attachments to the domestic cat of our more northern lat- itudes, t‘he giboya will, it is said, find the way back to the house of its mas- ter even if transported to a considera- ble distance—Philadelphia Ledger. Honesty Not the Best. Policy. He was an honest young man, un- used to the ways of society and mak. ing a call on one ofthe most stunning young ladies of the city. “How I love beauty." she said. “It seems to me I would give almost any other worldly possession in exchange for beauty.” “Don't mind if you’re not hand- some,” he replied. “It’s much better to be kind and good.” ‘ Then he went home wondering what had given him a chill—Detroit Free Press. , . , Following Instructions. “Mother,” sighed the young Wife, “I regard Tom as ”the most inconsistent man that ever lived.” “You put it very strongly, my dear." “But I mean it. He told me the oth- er day to be more observant, to keep posted as to what we would need, and to do my buying when things were cheapest. I went right down and laid in a big supply of C‘hristmas'presents,‘ and he has scarcely spoken to me since.”—Detroit Free Press.
