One story of Pan !tee, I ho veteran circus clown, illustrates Ins strict sen-e of honesty and gratitude for favors. Once he was sl'anded in Cincinnati, the slory goes, and was unable to slurt u show on (he road because be had no tent nnd could not raise money to buy one. The tent Hiee need, d wnu'd be worth J,.Vlll, The manager of a lent concern sent lor iheclnwn one morning and, taking hitu to his factory, showed a big tent that was j u l finished. Iiice looked at it with hungry eyes, lie luroed away with u si:h. "Fine lent, don't you thiuk? ' asked the canvas maker. Kice looked back at it over his shoul der, with another deep sigh, "It's yours," said the lent man. Ilice was like a playful kitten ii an instant. "I believe there is a lot of money in you yet," said the canvas man. "You take that tent and start your show, and if yi u ever get money enough to pay me for it the prieo of it is 82,500." Wilhin two weeks Rice was on the road with a show and began a successful career. Fur 15 years he never referred to the tent, although he often met the man who made it. Ooe al'.ernoon he asked the tent man to be his guest at one ol his shows, ihen in Cineiunali. The two sat looking on, and Itice remarked: 'Fine show, don't you think?" The canvas man declared that it cer tainly was. "By the way," added Rice, "here's lhat 12,500 I owe you." He took a roll nf bills out uf his pocket and handed it to the tenlmaker, who pocketed it with out unroliinj it. The old tent man lov ed to r. lale this story and always declared that the great men of this country were P. T. liartmm, Jubn llobinson and Dan Rice. New York Mail and Express. Sl.kVI.I) KIlillT. He carefully p'epatcd a .'jjall garden plot, w hile his wife, deeply interested in bis labor, stood watcliiug him. Afler he had rut in the seeds and smoothed over ihe beds his wile took his aim to accompany liiiu to the house, and on the way she a.-ked: "When will the seeds come up, John?" Raying his hand caressingly on her boulder, the sma.t man paid: ' I d ni't expect theui to come up at all, niv dear. You don't!" she exclaimed. "Then why have you gone to all that trouble?'1 With a smile that springs from superi knowledge he answered: "The seeds won't come up, but the plants will, by and by." Yet he was wrong, for his neighbor's hen got into his garden and the seeds did come up. Collirr'a Weekly. Socrates TritftJ. "No one," gravely announced Sourales can arrest the flight of time."
