A I! ILL NYE STORY.
The following anecdote appeared
in the first number of the Book
man and has just been reproduced
in that magazine. Ii concern l:d
ward W. Nye (Hill Nye), who
made, we are informed, a short
speech ai an author's dinner in
London that was much relished by
the bookmen present, including
ihe publishers, ut whom it was in
dirccilv aimed. "Just a year ago,"
he said, "1 was walking on the
principal street of Indianapolis,
when 1 met a man whose appear
ance showed that he was reduced
to the very depths of poverty. His
clothes were ragged, his face un
shaven, his hair long and matted
and his feet unshod. As 1 passed
him a look of recognition came
into his eye.
" 'Nye, old fellow, don't you
know me? Don't you know Abel
P. Jones, who was your classmate
at college?
" 'What, Jones! Is it really
you? Well, well, what can I do
for you?"
" 'For heaven's sake, help me.
I am starving. Lend me half a
dollar.
"I felt in my pockets. They
were empty. 1 had no money
myself. But a bright thought
flashed through my mind.
j " ' Abel, I can't lend you the
j half dollar; I haven't got it. But
' look here. I'll tell you what I will
do; I'll let you publish my next
book.'
j "Gentlemen, that was just a
year ago; and this month Abel P.
Jones sent me an invitation to go
: to liurope wiih him in his steam
yacht."
ROOT'S ONION ILLUSTRATION
Senator Llihu Root'sonion story
told at a recent dinner, is an illus
tration of the difficulty in conceal
ing evil practices.
"Take the case," said Mr. Root,
"of old John Inideuin. John was
a lawyer s contidetiti.il clerk, and
lie had the pernicious habit of go
ing to a neighoring saloon every
morning at I 1 o'clock and taking
a small glass ot whiskey. He was
not proud of this habit; hence, af
ter the whiskey he akays took a
clove. '
"But one morning it happened
thai there were no cloves on the
bar, and John, after having con
sidered the mailer, ate a small on
ion from the free lunch tray. That
would destroy the telltale whiskey
odor, no doubt, as well as the clove
had always done, and so thinking
he returned to his desk,
"It was a double desk. At it he
and his employer sat face to face.
John, on his return was soon
aware that his employer noticed
something. The man's nostrils
quivered, he sniffed and finally
with a grimace of disgust he broke
out :
"Look here, John, I've stood
whiskey and cloves for 19 years,
but 1 draw the line on whiskey and
onions." New York Herald.

DRAWING INFERENCES.
President Lincoln once told the
following story to D. H. Bates,
manager of the War Department
telegraph office :
"I'm like an old colored man 1
knew. He spent so much of his
time preaching to the other slaves
it kept him and them from their
labors. His master told him he
would punish him the next time
he was caught preaching.
" 'lUit, marsa,' said the old
man, with tears in his eyes. 'I al
ways has to draw infruences from
Bible texts w hen dey comes in ma
haid. 1 jes' cain't help it. Can
you, marsa?'
" 'Well,' said his master, 'I sus
pect 1 do sometimes draw infer
ences. Bui there is one text I
never could understand, and if
you can draw the right inference
from it I'll let you preach to your
heart's content.'
" 'What is de text, marsa?"
asked the colored man.
" 'The ass snuffeth up the east
wind." Now what inference do
you draw from that ?'
" 'Well, marsa, I'se neberheard
dat text befo' nohow, but I 'spects
de infruence am she got to snuff a
long time befo' she get fat.' "

BULLETIN
Sir Frank Lockwood was de
fending a man accused of swin
dling and inan eloquent preroration
talked of his much injured client
as an angel of light. When Sir
Frank had finished his speech his
client whispered that he wanted to
shake hands with him. "When
first my solicitor told me what he
was paying you," said the client,
"I grumbled, but since 1 have been
listening to you I have come to the
conclusion that the money was
well spent, and I apologize. That
half hour talk of yours about me
has done me good. It is many
years since I have experienced the
luxury of self-respect, and it is
worth the money."
"Oh, that's all right," said Sir
Frank genially, "but you take my
advice and go out of court. Sir
Edward Clarke, the lawyer on tjie
other side, is just going to speak."
