THE TBI1U A MILLIVNAatlK.
Ufa
John D PockelfiUer, te notorious
multi-millionaire, was in Magistrate
McShamrock's court yesterday on the
charge of trying to give away money
on the street oorners. It appears that
Mr. Pocketfiller, disguiaed - with a
eheatnnt wig, stood on the sidewalk
at a Aisy down-town corner, carrying
a large sack filled with bank bills done
up In ba aches of one hundred dollars
each. He would hold one of these
bunches in his hand ond offer it to
passers-by in an offensive way mat
tering: "Please help me, kind people;
I am very rich; take this little gift and
make me happy." That Mr. Pocket
filler was nuisance of the most
irritating description could not be de
nied. Ladies gathered up their skirts
and swept disdainfully past; busy mer
chant elbowed the millionaire ooh
temptuouily aside, street urchins
thumbed their noses at. him; and one
fat-necked, policeman into whose head
Mr. Pocketfiller attempted to thrust
package of bills was thrown into such
a rage that he not only hurled the
money back in the millionaire's face,
but which pulled from his own pocket.
The coins scattered over the sidewalk,
where it was noticed that people kick'
ed them into the gutters like scraps of
orange peel. The very idea of money
had been rendered distasteful to the
populace by Mr. Pocketfiller's presenoe
and his insolent behavior.
The millionaire was finally taken
into custody, muoh to everybody's re
lief, at the instance, of a well-known
clergyman, Rev. Saintly Longface, of
Brooklyn, who deposed that Mr. Pock
etfiller had rudely offered him a hun
dred thousand dollars for the foreign
mission fund. After listening to the
testimony, Magistrate MoShomrock
promptly sentenced the prisoner to
hard labor for life at No. 20 Bioadwey
with the injunction that he must not
) to let his wealth accumulate. "I
have no patience with these un-Ameri
can notions," remarked the magistrate.
What would this country come to it
our capitalists persisted in giving away
even a small fraction of their fortunes
without eipeoting something in return?
It will be a gloomy outlook for the
future of our magnificent trusts if such
things are suffered to continue. Pub
lic sentiment demands that this dona
tion business be stopped here and now.
I understood that this is not Mr Pock
et filler's first offence, or I should have
let off with a term in the United States
8enate."
A brief interview was subsequently
granted with Mr. Pocketfiller at cell No.
26. The prisoner looked cheerful, de
spite the onerous condition of the sen
tence. "I cannot for my remarkable
lapse," he said. "I am told I have
been occasionally taken with similar
fits before, though this is this first time
I was dragged into court for it. The
Public seems to be getting unuasalfy
fastidious nowadays. I am sincerely
sorry for what I have done, and trust
that the wholesome austerity of life
in this institution and close applica
to business will make me a better man?"
Kattlesaafee la Hie Bed.
Sioux Falls Cor. Chicago Tribune,
G. 0. Conant, a homesteader in the
ceded portion of the Rosebud Indian
reservation, in the Bonesteel country,
had a thrilling adventure with a rattle
snake which invaded his home.
Conant had been absent from his
(arm for several days, returning home
in the evening. At it was raining, he
decided to go to bed early. He did not
notice anything strange about his bed
at the time he retired, but about mid
night he was awakened by a movement
near his body, under bedclothing. He
lost no time in springing from the bed,
and, lighting a match and turning
down the bedclothing, was horrified to
find that he had a huge rattlesnake as'
a bedfellow.
That he was not bitten was doubt
lea due to the fart that the pressure
of the bedclothing did not give the
snake the necessary space required by
this species of reptile to coil and strike.
The snake, which was killed By the
frightened homesteader, had eight rat
tles, and these are now - worn as an
ornament by Conant as a memento of
his midnight experience.

BOMB RICH ABM SLOW PAY.
natart.a. Vert Oeeleree Writer Tamt
flamy la aeclety Hatle ver Their
still..
It is notorious that the rich are often
scandalously slow in paying their bills.
I recall one instance where the wife
of a multi-millionaire (the was after
ward divorced), took no notice, month,
after month, of a bill amount to over
$20,000 for her daughter's wedding
trousseau, and this bill was not paid
for more than a year after the cere
mony, and only then because a re
sourceful collector "held up" the multi
millionaire himself in the street one
day, and finally got hit check, declares
Cleveland Moffstt, in Success.
I have been told of several rich wo
men in the smart set, two of them very
rich, who are wont to haggle over price
in the shops as if they were in genteel
poverty. One of there ladies, whose
showy Newport fetes are widely pro
claimed, tried on a certain aooation.vto
"beat down" an estimate for candle
rshadea, favors, etc., that she wanted
in a hurry for a dinner dance, and,
having failed in her effort, she finally
exclaimed: "Why, you oughtn't to
charge me a oent for these things!
Think of the advertising you can get
out of itl If you treat me right I'll see
that your place is mentioned by all the
reporters!"
And another, whose husband is one
of the ricehest men in the worid, ac
tually wept before a Fifth avenue dress
maker in her pleading for a reduction
0 U5 on the price of a certain gar
ment that she simply had to have but
could not afford, she declared, out of
the small allowance made her by her
husband.
When I was in Newport last summer
people were laughing at the latest petty
economy of this same husband, who is
certainly one of the "closest" of our
idle millionaries. He had heard of a
new aluminum paint, warranted to
kf ep shiny without much rubbing, and
he had forth with given orders that the
brasses on his beautiful yacht be
smeared over with this paint so that it
might reduce his pay roll by the wages
of two Bailors previously needed to clean
these brasses! This gentleman's in
come must be at least $4,000,000.

The way of the Chinaman are very
different from those of any other na
tion.
When two or more friends meet they
shake hands with themselves, not with
their friends.
The men wear the dress and the
women wear the trousers.
In walking they never keep step.i
At their meals they all fill their
mouths full and then begin talking.
If fruit or dessert of any kind is on
the table they eat that first. '
The Chinaman ha as many wives as
he can afford to buy, and the more he
pays for them the more he is looked
opto.
A Chinaman always buy hi wife
and if he ha not the money to buy
one he want be mutt buy a cheaper
one.
A Chinaman, never walk beside hi
wife or tweetheart; he walk in front
and he follow him.
It take a Chinaman about a week to
get married. .
A very common wedding present is a
ooffin. '
The Weaaaa was Ahead.
Senator Depew, at a dinner in Wash
ington, was praising the wit of women.
"Against this wit," he said "we men
are powerless. Even when all the right
and logic of an argument are on our
ride, women, with her wit, will, nine
times out of ten, put us to shame.
'Thus a man onoe found that his
wife had bought a few puffs of false
trair. This displeased him. He 'hid
in the hall one day, and just at the lady
was fixing the false puffs upon her
brow, he darted in upon her.
"'Mary,' he ssid rtgroacbiullywby
do you put the hair of another woman
on your head?
" 'Why,' his wife answered,' do you
pat the skin of another calf on your
feet?"

51INBINO HIS OWN wCSINBSa
aajalaltlve Traveler HTeaed Cp Seorre
with Suae Driver Who WaeWu.tr.
Wallace Cumming used to drive the
old stage which ran between Bridgeton
and Portland, relate the Boston Her
ald. One day Wallace had s a passen
ger out of Portland a young city chap
or dude, a Wallace called him.' The
scenery along the ttage route was both
beautiful and diversified ; the young
man wa much interested, and at hs sat
on the box, or pott of honor, beside
Wallace, literally plied him with ques
tion a to what mountain that was and
what river this was, etc.
The old driver, who detested this tort
of interrogation, stood it a long as he
could. Finally he blurted out: "Say,
stranger, if you'll mind your business
I'll mind mine."
Thus snubbed, the young man re
lapsed into silence.
The had driven about ten miles far
ther whep they came to a long hill,
where the driver was obliged to apply
the brake. A be thoved bi foot to
trard it he immediately noticed that
the mail bag, which alway lay there,
wa gone. Evidently it had dropped
off along the road.
'Wallace (topped hit horses; then,
breaking the long silence, he laid:
"Bay, stranger, did you see that mail
ag slide off?"
"Yst, I did; some ten mile back,"
calmly remarked the young man.
"Well, why in thunder didn't you
tell me?" gasped the astonished driver.
The "dude" looked him squarely in
the eye for a moment, and then he
drawled, imitating Wallace's tone:
"Say, driver, you mind your butlneei
and I'll mind mine."
The rest of the journey wa driven in
cold silence.
A Waaas'a Plaa lo Eeoaomlze,
Dr. Mile Standish, of Boston, was
describing a drive of a week or more
that he takes each September through
some of the wildest and most pictures
que distriots of New E igland.
"I see much that is memorable, I
hear much that is memorable," he said,
"on these exuisions. Clever and wise
and witty speeches are made to me in
many a remote place.
"I remember an elderly juitice of the
peace in a beautiful new Hampsuis vil
lage near lake Sunapee. I stayed th re
all night with this fine, keen old man.
He amused me and impressed me with
bis mordant humor.
"The unreasonableness of womsn
kind came up for discussion at das mo

" 'Ah, woman is unreasonable, tru

creature so unless mable at womanTMy
wife and I talked over our aiftiishe
day and agreed that we mutt both eoon
omize.
" 'Yes, my dear, we must both
economise, both,' I said to my wife.
" 'All right, James,' the (aid to me.
You shave yourself and 1 11 cut your
hair.'"
"Da a Terra pi Brer Diet"
Charlotte Observer.
The latest query that is absorbing
the attention of the wise men and
kpbiloeophers of thi section is: "Do 1
terrapin ever die?"
June. 4, 1883, 'Squire Thomas Doug
lass, of Long Creek township, caught a
terrapin in his field and carved his
name and the date upon the shell of the
reptile. Year to the number of 23
passed and the winters and .summers
have had their effect on 'Squire Doug
lass. Neighbors, who, like Mr. Doug
la, were then young men and boys,
have passed away; landmarks have
changed, and a quarter of a century
ha wrought other changes. But the
terrapin still remains the same. A few
days ago 'Squire Douglass found it not
50 yards from the spot where he had
oaught it 23 years ago and easily made
out the words he had carved in tie
shell. The animal was not a bit larger
than it wa the day the inscription was
cut on its back, and there was no other
indication of advanced age.
