[Translated by Mme. Paul Blouet. Copyrighwd
by Camel! & 00.. New York. and published by
special arrangement through the American Pres
Association. Paul Blouef (Max O‘Rell) is a ro-
markabiy clever Frenchman. who has devoted

race The book from which the following ex-
tracts are made is his latest production, and ma-

to America]
CHAPTER III?
The Americans of today are so binso on
the matter of advertisements that it is diffi-
cult to attract their attention without getting
' up extravagant baits for their eyes.
The most effective bait is the illustrated
advertisement. Hero, for imtauce, is the
"Capilline." which makes the hair and whis-
kers grow as if by magic. You have to be
so careful in handling the stuff that if a drop
should fall. say. on your nose. a tuft of hair
would almost immediately grow thereon.
On the left of the advertisement you see a
poor fellow, bald, whiskerlem. and wan. A
young lady is turning her back on him with
a look of disgust. The illustration is entitled,
“Before using Capilline—Refnsed.“ On the
right. you see a superb male beauty, adorned
with n luxuriant growth of hair and board.
The some young lady reposes her head on his
shoulder. and raises her rapturous eyestohis.
Underneath are the words "After using
Capilhno—Abceptal” But the most marvel-
ous part of it is that the use of tho elixir has
changed the cut. of the man’s coat. First he
was drcwed in a hank. threadbare, shapelcss
sack. after using the magic stuff. he has
bloomed info the pink of tailoring perfection.
I culled the following advertisement from
one of the New York papers:
“As collector or salesman-Slim, sleek,
slender, sharp. shrewd, sensible, sarcastic
Yank, seeks a situation in some store (notice
the attractive whizziug of the s'sy, hotel or
office. as collector or salesman, has highest
references. and push and check of an army
mule; can sell goods or collect bills with any
man on the continent of North America
(Bucks county, Pennsylvania, included)."
The next specimen is an idyl. It is entitled
“Her Heart and a Cottage."
“For hcnrs she was lost in ecstasv. carting
into her lover's eyes. ‘How beautiful you
are!’ she said, ‘und how happy you look!
Darling, say that it is I who am the cause of
your happiness.’ The handsome young man
tenderly kissed-the lips of his dear one. ‘Ym,’
he said, ‘it is because you love me that I am
so happy, but I owe my look of resplendent
health to Dr. Smith‘s sirup. "’ '
On a hair dresser’s shop I read: “Tonsorial
Palace—Professor Rogers has your hair cut
under his own supervision. How is it cut?-
As you like if (Shakespeare).”
President Cleveland, wishing one day hoses
a certain circus performance, cent to, rétaln a
box; *The' circus "proprietor: .imn'iediately
hired, and sent about the streets of the town,
a small unity of sandwich men, carryingnu
advertisement worded as follows: _
"The president of the United States with his
young and beautiful wife will honor the cir-
cus with" their presence this ovenlngl’
There was such a demand for seats that
hundreds of peeple were refused..buf Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland, having heard {fhahmheir
.namee'fhnd served ens an adv . ' ’
. one, did
ii‘obappqar. _s«. . -. .
After-mg" oruiance, s " "or the
_audieuce demanded the return of half. their
entrance money on the ground that the pro-
gramme had not been carried outin its on-
tirety. since the president and his wife had
not made their appearanceas the spectators
had been led to expect. , .
The circus manager was obligedtaoreim~
bursa. says the paper from which [extract
the account.
Never lay aside an American newspaper
without looking over the advertisements.
Ten troops :y ‘ ’will he'lrewarded for your

‘.":'Ther'8.§1¢i}o7frhvsling doctors in America
who go from town to town to heal the sick at
reduced prices.
Hero is the advertisement of one of these
gentlemen It is headed with his portrait,
and appears in the papers of the towns he
operates upon:
“Dr. R. has already remained in M—
ionger than he first intended, but at the re-
quest of numerous individuals and friends he
will extend his stay one week longer. Ps-
tients in other towns have been disappointed
by his long stay in 31—: but they have his
asur’ance that this visit will not be-cxfended
beyond the time stated above."
This stereotyped advertisement has a flavor
of the drum and cymbals of the mountebank.
Walk up, ladies and gentlemen, walk-up‘nnd
show your tongues and have your pulsm felt.
Punter down, this same medical gentle
man falls into the style of the chimney sweep,
anxious to enlarge his connection: "Ho thanks
his many friends and patrons for the kind-
ness and patronage bestowed upon him, and
trusts, by pursuance of ' the same honorable .
business and professional methods and efioms,
to fully merit a. continuance of same.”
In the smoking room of the Germanic one
day an American. who sat near me, said, lid .
dressing me:
“i believe you are going to America to
lecture, sir?”
“Yes.” i replied, “I am.”
“Who is booming your show, my I askf" [.
he said in the most natural way in the world.
i must have stared 'at him like a rustic.
being utterly at a loss to understand what he
meant.
Upon getting this Americanism explained I
had the satisfaction of finding that my inter-z
locutor’s question 'simply meant in English:
“Who is your impresnriof”
> “Well." thought ,I. “I am going to have a:-
lively time in the States. that's evident: this
Isa foretasto that is promising.” I went: to‘
my cabin thinking about the Yankee who:
was to "boom my show.” g
The greatest “boomer" in America is the?
green-[fli‘oonlv the unique Barnum. The:
personality of this king of showm. is not:
particularly interesting, except for being
typically American; and one. that could not
exist in any conntry but America. _
Mr. PhineasT Barnum. 'pursued by fate.
is every five years the victim of a confiagra-
fion. His fires happen with terrible regu-
larity. Whilst I was] in America his tigers:
and elephants were burned out of house and
home. Scarcisly had “the ..finmes_‘beeu extin-
guishedwheu there wmfpar'agraphs in the
papers many that MP. Barnum‘s'la'gent was.
buying freshmimals for" the f“big'gesf show
thorwnllsof America’s
, , flaring posters repro
senting Phlngas 'Bai‘uum rising from the
times like, a' modern phoenix. Appended‘
was a long literary-ony which begana
“Rising phoenix like from the ashes of my
fifth fire,"nnd setting forth the wonderful
attractions of the new show which was to be
opened.
Mr. Barnum holds in small esteem the man
who lets slip a chance of making money.
He would think it quite natural to offer
$2,000 a week to Gen. Boulanger to show
himself in his museum. and would think if
very unnatural that the general should re-
fuse such a handsome offer. The rumor has
it that the enterprising Phineas wrote to M;
Pasteur some time since fofry and engage
him. He guaranteed, if is said, $50,000 to
the illustrious savanf if he would inoculate
before the American public twice a day. It
was not much to ask, and the $50,000 would
have been easily earned. Barnum, however,
had to content himself with engaging a gen-
tleman in spectacles, resembling more or less
the famous professor. and he succeeded in
securing four little Americans whom M. Pas
tour had just saved from hydrophobic. They
were inoculated (with clear water probably)
for a month in all the principal towns of the
States. The society for the protection of
animals, which does not include man in its
circle of operations, made no objection, and
the coffers of the enterprising Phineas over-
flowed with dollars '
Mr. Barnum does not understand how a
good offer can be refused He looks upon
everything as being to sell or let, and the
almighty dollar as the master of the world.
One day he took it. into his head to make an
odor for the house in which Shakespeare was
born. The. English fired up at the idea, and
he had to abandon his project and be satisfied
with Jumbo. ‘
If em."3.“£‘1t’2“_‘.i'£ti£’9.§9l2t0 become
a republic the dethroned monarch eculd go
and make their fortunes in America, and the
greatest ambition of Mr. Barnum would be
realized.
Nothing astonishes on American That
which makm his muversstions immensely
piqunnt is, as l have already said, the calm,
natural tone in which he come out with the
most astounding statements.
My impresario had just engaged me for a
lecture season in the States and Canada. . -
“l shah have two Europeans on my list
next year,” he said, “Mr. Charles Dick-ans
and yourself. I wanted two others, but they
are not to be had.” ’
“That is nof'vei'y flattering." said I, “but
who are the two Europeans you cannot get!"
“Mr. Gladstone and Lord Randolph Church-
ill,” he replied. quite calmly.
Then, suppressing the words "Mr." and ’ '
“Lord," according to the habit of his country-
men, he added with a sigh:
“Yes, Gladstone would have made a lump,
and Churchill would have been an elegant
success.”
CHAPTER XXXVI. . .
The Americans have snpprsuod disfsnoa
by bringing railway trains to perfection.
You take the cars after dinner to go a two
or three hundred miles journey You pass
an hour or so in the smoking room. you go to
your berth. sleep the night through. and by
the time you awake you are at your journey’s
end.
In point of comfort, the American trains
are to the French and English trains what
these latter- are to the stage coach of bygone
days.
Nothing can surpass the comfort and
luxury of tho Pullman curs, unles it be the
perfected Pullman that Is called the vmibulo
train. Six or seven carriages. connecting
one with another, allow of your moving
about freely overnlength of some hundred
yards. Dining mom. sleeping car. drawing
room car. smoking room, library, bath room,
lavatory. the whole fitted up in the most
luxurious style. What can one dedro more!
It is a hotel on wheels.
There are windows and ventilators. but if
you Opel] your Window, you will see your fol—
low travelers furu up their coat collars and
get down their shawls and furs. nudyou will
hear energetic 'grumblings. which will give
you to understand that youaro turning your
so" into a public calamity The Americans
are shivery 'peoplo. starving themselves in a
thin-maria.
Here, as well as in the hotelsund in all con-
, ditions of American life, you are at the mercy
of servants, There is no remedy of hand, no
appeal ngaimt it.
In America yousresupposed-foknowovery-
thing, and no one will help you union you
should happen to addres yourself to well
bred people.
If you ask a pamer-byin the street the near
est way to the station, he walks as though he
understood you not. The word “station" is
English, but here you must fnlk American,
and say depot. pronounced deepo. The inva-
riable answer you get to the questions you
ask in the street is. “1 don’t. know.” They
are all like J on, "they don’t know nothink."
When a railway servant has succeeded in
insulting you, he is quite proud, and plumes
himself on his smartuess; he looks at his
mates and seems to say: “Did you hear how
[spoke up to him?” He would be afraid of
loworing himself by being politic. In his eyes
poiitcnem is a form of scrvilify, and he
imagines that; by being rude. to well bred peo-
ple, he puts himself on a footing with them.
You go to a railway ticket office to book
for a certain place. Perhaps there are several
lines of railway running to your destination
The clerk says, without looking at you, and
at the ruin of a thousand words a minute:
“What line? B. and 0., or S. F. and W.
R. R... or S. T. L. and OJ"
“1 want a ticket for Chicago."
“1 ask whether you wish to go by the”—
Here he once more repeats various parts of
the alphabet, casting a look of pity at you
the while. Do not believe he will translate
his A B C D’s info English: If is your place
to understand them
Do not lose your temper. howeyet: that
never pays in America. ' The natives would
only enjoy it. Take the matter laughingiy.
Thisisfhe advice the Americans gave me,
and i recommend it to you, if ever you are
similarly placed.
1 was having a siesfaoueday in one of the
comfortable arm chairs.;,of in. drawing room
car, when the conductor» came along and,
giving me a formidable thump, cried out in
the most savage tone:
“Your ticket!”
I made haste to oblige him nndfoofier
apologies
“1 must I have not kept you waiting,”
said I.
He went away quite crestfnllcn.
Another day, l was in a New York local
train. These trains have not drawing room 5
cars with smoking room attached Neither _.
first, second nor third class; all the carriages
are alike. I addremd the conductor. asking
him whorol should find the smoking com- .
partmcnt. In reply he murmured a few un-
intelligible words between his teeth. In my
humblest, sweetest accents, i said:
“Excuse me, i did not hear.”
Ho shouted at me at the top of his voice:
“Bohind-the—lo-co—mo—flve! do you hear
this time!"
My first impulse waste knock him down. .
But I bethoughf myself of the advice that .
had been given me, ondanswered with asmlle: .
“Yes. i heard. I beg a thousand pardons.
You are really too polite." .
A popular American scores wasdiningone:
evening in the dining car of a train going.
from Boston to New York. Being alone, she:
ate slowly, and deliberately dnwdled over the
meal to kill time. The waiter. displeased at.
the audacity of such conduct, stood about
within hearing, and began making the rudest
remarks on her proceedings. .
When she had quite finished her dinner, .
and he came to remove the dishes. the acts-em:
wrote a few words upon one of her cards. and.-
hnnding it to him with newest smile, shosaidcs
“Hero is my card. if you hand if in at that
Opera house tomorrow evening you will be;
provided with a stall. I regret exceedingly;
that if is not in my power to 083' you a box:
-it is such a treat to meet with a polite rall-
way sorvnnf!” » _
The names of the stations are hidden. Do-
not hope that the conductor will clear up the
mystery.
The train had just stopped a few leagues
from Richmond one day. .
“What station is this?” asked a traveler.
addressing the conductor.
This individual simply shrugged his shoul-
ders and turned his back.
I happened to be close to him. -
“What inquisitive people there are, to be
sure!" i said to him. 3
To an irritable person, the rudeness of the
railway and hotel servants would be enough
to spoil all the pleasure of a visit to Amen-long
But the Americans themselves are good tom-f
pered and pay no attention to them things.
i know some who even get a certain amount
of amusement therefrom.
The negro who makes your bed is more
polite. but his politeness is not disinterested.
A few moments before the arrival of tho.
train at your destination. he brushes you.
down and receives the invariable 25 cents.
for his trouble These uegroes. independently,
of the salary paid them by the company they;
work for, make sometimes from Stow 812 a
day in this way. any from 82.5!) to 83.000 a
year.

Returning to Jacksonville from St. Angus
fine. i omitted to engage my place in a parlor,
car. and was obliged to find a seat in the or-
dinary can. The evil was not great. seeing
that the journey takes but fifty minutes .
Besides the parlor cars, the train comprised
three cars. two of which were mm full.
I installed myself in the third, which was
empty
Up comes the conductor.
“Come out. you can‘t travel in that. car.”
he said.
"Why not!” I asked,
“Because if is the colored people‘s car.”
“Am I not as good as they!"
“I tell you you can't travel in this our.” .

earth cannot you be civil come!“
The follow is lacking in logic.
The manner of the mold servant is differ-
ent; she wearsn look of contempt and pro
found disgust; she seems to say with a sigh:
“How can man be such brufes as to allow
women to work! What despicable creatures
theynre.tobesurei" _
'l‘og'ef no idea of the prodigious labor un-
derfnkou‘bylon American servant girl, one
has but to see her at work doing a room,
feather broom in hand.
A day or two after this remarkable mam
net of dusting had attracted my attention, I
came across the following in Puck:
Sarah is doing the drawing room. Enters
the mistremof the ' house, evidently fearing
to 'bochoked by the cioudof dust that fills
the room.
“Sarah, what are you doing!”
“I’m dustln’ the room.”
“I see. When. you’ve finished. pisses to
undnsf if.” ‘
Servaufs’ wages range from 3200 to 8500 a
your—l mean, of course, in good ordinary
houses, and not in millionaire’s mansions.
nr. LC. Vanderbilt pays his chief cook ten
thousand dollars. I write the sum in letters
that the reader may not minim: “Surely
there is a mlsprinf here; the printer has put
one nought too many." .
In spite of the enormously high wages they
pay, the Americans have so much trouble in
getting good servants. that numbers of them
are, so to speak, driven from their homes and
obliged totake refuge in hotels and apart
meuf houses. .
Negro ones are the only ones at all deferen-
fial in manner, or who have a smile on their
faces from time to time; but many people
have an objection to them. and charge them
with serious faults such as finding things
which are not lost, and breaking the monot-
ony of life by dressing up in their employers‘
raimeuf when occasion ofi’ers.
An American of my acquaintance, upon
going to his room one evening to tires for a
dinner party. found his dress coat and waisfo
coat missing from the wardrobe. Guemng
their whereabouts, he went upstairs. and
there. in his new butler-‘s room, were the
missing garments.
He rang for the culprit.
“Pompey," he said, “i have found my
dress clothes in your room. What is the
meaning of ifi”
“I forgot to put dem back, nah.”
“You have had them on, you rascal."
“Ya. 88b.“
“How dare you wear my clothes!”
“Please, massn, lgof married yesterday,”
and the broad black face of Pompey was lit
up with a rather sheopish looking grin.
All fhocarloaturcsof thocomlc paper-sure
outdone by realities in America.
I know a lady who. losing , her patience
with her housemaid one day, said to her:
“I expect my servants to do so and so.”
“Your what?" cried the indignant damsel.
“I’ll just tell you what i think of you.
You ain’t nolady, that’s certain."
Here are two advertisements which I ex-
tract from an lndianspolis paper:
“Situation as dish humer- required by a
lady. Apply Sentinel office."
“A lady (whiten undertakes washing of
home.” (Address follows.)
Democracy can no further go.
“I tokecnre never to part on bad forms
with my servant: when they leave me.” This
was said to me one day by n clever Boston
lady. who. to my thinking, lacks sufficient
admiration for the democratic institutions of
America
I gumod' that she intended a covert satire
so the greatest'republic in the world.
"Why!" I demanded.
. “Because. when onoof fhosegirls leaves me,
if is quite within the range of possibility that
'sho will marry some wisdom mnohmm. and
one day. when her husband becomes u soon-
for. she may be useful to me at Washington”
CHAPTER XXXVIIL
The great mass of the Amer-ital: people live
on tough moat uncooked and load water in-
filtered. . . . , .
I take if for granted . that sheep and cattle
are born of a tender so ago in Americans
elsewhere, buftho society for the protection
of animals probably prevent their being
killed for food while they are young enough
to enjoy life. and so the patriarch alone are
reserved for-the table.
That which renders the problem of dining
almost past solving is that the meat has to be
attacked with platted kniva which four but
do not cut it. I suppose that, as half the
lower claw Americans still eat with their
knives, if was necessary to abandon the idea
of having steel knives for fear of their acct
dentally gushing their face. If sharp stool
knives were in general use in America the
streets would be full of people with faces
scarred and seemed like those of the Heidel-
berg students.
The Americans drink little else but water
at table, and one cannot help wondering how
if is that the filter seem to be an almost un-
known institution in the land. Leave your
glass of water untouched on the fable. and
in a few moments a thick sediment of mud or
sand will be visible at the bottom of if.
- Down south to is worse-fill.
At Jacksonville 1 was waited upon at table
by an extremely obllging negro. .
One day he brought me some water, put ice
in if, and discreetly withdrew behind my
chair. j
I took up the glassnud minutely inspected
its contents.
“Epaminoudss!” I cried.
“Dst’s not my name. ssh; Pm culled
Charles."
“Charles, look of this near: there is s
snake in if." .
Charles took the glass, looked in if, and
then, with a measuring grin. announced:
“It’s dead. lab.”
‘f’l'baf is comforting.” said I, “but it may
have left eggs, which will come to life by
thousands inside me."
Charles was facofious, and was not to be
put out of countenance for such a trifle. - He
took up the glass again, mined it, and
replaced itch the table.

The ancient Chinese believed in the exist-
ence and controlling power of spirits. Con-
fucius believed in the power of heaven to de-
cree, to reward and punish. '
A cardinal point in the Mahometau faith
is the asserted existence of angels, celestial
and infernal.

Beluga. - -
The peoplepf the Sandwich Islands held a
confused medley of notions as to another
life. The current fancy was'th'at the souls of
the chiefs were led byn god whose name de-
notes the “eyeball of the sun,” to a life in the
heavens, while plebeian souls went down to
Altea, a lugubrions underground abode.
The Knmchafknus send all the dead alike
to a subterranean olysium, where fhey shall
find again their wives, clothes, fools,lhuts and
where they shall fish and hunt.
The Druids’ conception of the future life is‘
that the soul, on being divested of its earthly
envelope, is borne aloft. The clouds are couk
posed of the souls of lately deceased men.
They fly over the heads of armies, inspiring
courage or striking terror. Not yet freed
from terrestrial affections, they mingle in
the passions and affairs of men. Vninly they
try to soar above the atmosphere; an im-
pamuble wall of sapphire resists their wings.
In the moon millions of souls traverse fre-
mendous plains of ice, losing all perception
but that of simple existence, forgetting the
adventures they have passed through and are
about to recommence. »
. The Scandinavians believed that “high up
in the sky is Odln’s hall, the magnificent Val-
halla, or temple of the slain. No women
being ever mentioned as gaining admission to
Valhalla or joining in the joys of the Ein-
heriar, some writers have affirmed that ac-
cording to Scandinavian faith women had no
immortal souls, or at all events were ex-
cluded from heaven. The charge is baseless.
‘ 'f " Valhalla was the exclusive abode of
the most daring champions, but Valhalla was ’
not the whole of heaven.“
The Egyptian idea of tho abode of the soul
isnot very alluring. It is “led by the god
Shoth into Amenthe, the infernal world, the
entrance to which lies in the extreme west on
the further side of the sea, where the sun
goes down under the earth. At the entrance
sits a wide throatcd monster, over whose head
is the inscription, ‘This is the devourer of
many who go into Amenthe, the iacerutor of
the heart of him who comes with sins to the
house of justice.’ The soul next kneels be-
fore the forty-two nccessors of Osiris, with
deprecafing useverations and intercessions.
It then comes to the final trial in the hall of
the Two Truths, the approving and the con-
demning, or. as it is differently named, the
hall of the Double J ustico, the rewarding and
the punishing. Here the three divinities,
Horus, Anubis and Shoth, proceed to weigh
the soul in the balance."
The most ancient Hindoo doctrine of the
futon-e fate of man, as given in the Vedas,
was simple and rude. “Emancipation from
all existence is the fullness of felicity,” says
one of the Orientals. And again, “A hun-
dred thousand years of the highest happiness
on earth are not equal to the happiness of one
day in the downlokas.”
The Persians, who hall the Zoroastrian
faith, believed that “all who faithfully ob-
served the law in purity of thought, speech
and action where body and soul have sepa-
rated, attained paradise in the next world. ”
As to the Greeks and Romans: “The no-
tion that the wrath of the gods would pursue
their enemies in the future state gave rise to
a belief in the punishment of Tartnrus; so
the notion that the distinguishing kindness of
the gods would follow their favorites gave
rise to the myth of Elysium.”
The Mahometnn paradise is found as soon
as the righteous have pamd Sirat, or
the bridge of the world. They obtain
their first taste of their approaching felicity
by a refreshing draught from "Mahomet’s
Pond.” Then comes paradise, an ecstatic
dream of pleasure, filled with sparkling
stri'enms, honeyed fountains, shady groves,
precious stones, all flowers and fruits, bloom-
ing youths, circulating goblets, black eyed
houris, incense, brilliant birds, delightsomo
music, unbroken peace. A Sheah tradition
makes the prophet promise to Ali twelve pain
was in paradise, built of gold and silver
bricks, laid in a cement of musk and amber.
The Mexican idea was that souls neither
good nor bad, or whose virtues and vices
bflanoed each other, were to enter a medium
state of idlenem and empty content. The
wicked, or those dying in any of certain
enumerated modes of death, went to Mietlnu,
a. dismal hall within the earth. The souls of
those struck by lightning or dying by any of
a given list of diseases, also the souls of chil-
dren, were transformed to a remote elysium,
Tlnlocsn.
The ultimate heaven was reserved for war-
riors who bravely fell in battle, for women
who died in labor, for those offered in the
temples of the gods and for a. few others.
These passed immediately to tho housed the
sun, their chief god, whom they accompanied
for atom of years with songs, dances and
- revelry inhis circuit around the sky. Then
animating the forms of birds of plumage they
lived as beautiful songsters among the flow-
ers, now on earth, now in heaven, at their
pleasure.
The belief the best established among our
American Indians is that .of the immortality
of the soul. There is only one well authenti-
cated instance where all notion of a future
state appears to have been entirely wanting
-a small clan, the Lower Feudal Oreillcs.
This people had no burial ceremonies, no no-
tion of a life hereafter, no word for sort.
Somo Dakota tribes imagined four souls,
with separate destinies. one to wonder about
the world, one to watch the body, the third
to hover around the village and the highest
to go to the spirit land. The seat’ of t',o soul
was variously located. The Costa. Ricans
place to this day the powers of thought and
memory in the liver. Most usually the head
was regarded as the vital member. The
stoicism of the Indian, especially the Northern
tribes, in the face of death has often been the
topic of poets, and has often been interpreted
to be n. feat-lamest; of that event. This is by
no means true. Savages have an awful hor-
ror of deatb.——New York Press.

“How did I get this black eye?” repeated
the drummer, as he buckled the straps to his

IlHow?”
“I was at Seymour., Ind., and in a hurry
to get my railroad ticket. So was another
chap. The ticket seller was slow, lazy and
impudcnf. The other man pulled his gun,
shoved it into the window and got his ticket
ten seconds later. It was a hint for me."
“And you accepted if?“
“I did. I shoved my revolver into the win-
dow and gave the ticket man a quarter of
a minute to get me n pasteboard.”
“And he jumped?”
» “Ho did—jumped out of his office: and
i broke mo in two over a baggage truck. He‘s
got my revolver yet."
“But how did it happen to work in one
case and fail in another?”
“Oh, I couldn't keep my voice from trem-
- bllng, and then I didn’t have long hair and a
buffalo overcoat. He got right onto me for

Gen. Timothy Buggies, of Hardwick, was
quite a noted man in his day, though few
readers of the present time will remember
his name. He was chief justice of the county
court, which was composed of all the justices
of the county. Buggies entertained a poor
opinion of a. court thus constituted.
One day a dog belonging to one of tho mem~
'bers came in and took asent beside hismas-

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls aie entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. lnagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were ai first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are uiijustiy or erruneousiy re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. 1 make a specialty
