' "I used' to work fur a collection ageii cy in on of the north, cities," aid a lady perfumery duiuiner who is now at an up-down hotel according to' the New Orli'ims Times-Democrat, "and my ex iH'rit'uee wax tolerably exictihg. My duty was to sit at a roll-top desk in the of bee and jniisoiiute the proprietor. Light word.' did you say? Just you wiat. All day long men would come in red- over to lick the boas. "Where's the fel low that sends out these blackmailing letters?' was the usual salutation. Then I would smile sweetly and say, 'I am the proprietress, what can I do for you)' At that the visitor would look dazed, mutter tilings under his breath and walk off. Occasionally the real proprietor would peep through an inside window to see whether I was still alive, for I must admit our letters were cal culated to give a man the homicidal mania. "Well,1 things went along all right for nearly a month. Then one day a little wiry chap walked in carrying a thick cane. 'Where's the boas?' he said. I gave the usual fairy story. 'Don't be lieve a word of it,' he replied; 'still . I can't beat a woman.' He thought for a while and something hi his eye made me feel creepy. 'I'll have to take it out on the fixtures,' he said, finally, and, upon my word, he broke every blessed thing in the shop. He did it quickly and systematically, and you never saw such an awful ruin! I yelled murder, but it did no' good, and be went right ahead. As a ind-iip he smashed the chandelier and bade me a polite good-day. When the proprietor came in he had a fit. It was after that I went into the per fumery business. The work is harder 'but iti s much less trying on one's nerves." A NARROW ESCAPE. Tuankful words written by Mrs. Ada Hart, of Oroton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough Set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four Doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determin ed if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God, I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at all drug stores. Regular size 60c., and $1.00. Guar anteed or price refunded. CUBA'S ARMY DWINDLES. But 13,219 Men, Including Corporals and Sergeants. Havana, March 22. The Cuban army iias 13,219 men, all told. This number includes corporals and sergeants, but excludes commissioned officers.

Groat Sams of Money la Old Stamp Awaiting the Finder. By 11. FiacbBlunum, St. Louis, Ha Few people know that many of the old stamps lying idle on letters and papers of by-fona days. In their old trunks and gar rets, are worth large snms of money. Many of the readers of this paper have locked away somewhere old stamps that are worth from ten to a hundred-dollars each, and may be readily turned to cash. Handsome reward has frequently nut the hunter of old stamps, a eft ho of recent occurrence being that of the janitor of the Louisville (Ky. ) Court Bonae, who received several thousand dollars for stamps found among waste paper, which had been consigned to the scrap basket to be burned, - i . .. The prioe once obtained for a single Con federate stamp was enough to keep a family in comfort for a year; This stamp was found by a lady in JeffereonTllle, Ga., and was mailed from Macon, Ga., in 1861. It was purchased and then resold ia St. Louis, ia ISM, for a very large sum. There are tin : questionably still a great many of these local stamps to be found. This stamp was .'the " Macon, " Ga., stamp shown in Illus tration and was not known to exist before ;' this specimen was found. Others may have been used in various cities of the South during theetvil war, which will bring equally as high prices. . The stamp-hunter will quickly become fas V einated with the work, besides reapingaprof . itable reward. The best way to go about it is ' to Drat ransack your old trunks, garrets and ' closets for the letters and papers of forty odd , years ago: go amongst your neighbors and get what they have, and, if possible, get per , j mission to secure what yon can from old letters and papers in the Court House; then send them, all together, to somo reliable : dealer, who will cheerfully sort them over, appraise them, and notify yon of their essb value. ..

He was an American citizen and a bit vain-glorious, says the Washington Star, and he was talking to an Englishman, who had a wit of his own, despite reports to the contrary. The recent achieve ments of Uncle Sam in various locali ties constituted the subject of conversa tion, and the Yankee fairly bulged out with pride. "I am a free American, I am," he said, slapping his manly bosom, though there was no special! occasion for such s demonstration." "I fancy not," responded the English man in a tone that sounded as if ho knew what he was talking about. J he Yankee resented it with prompt ness and dispatch. I d hke to know, sir. why I am not?" he exclaimed, with the color of wrath rising to his face. "You are married, aren't you?" "Yes." "And to an American?" "Yes." "Well, that settles it in my mind. I've got an American womnn for a wife my self." The guard opened the door leading into the "dangerous" ward; says the Detroit Free Press. "This," said he, in explanation to the visitor, "is where we keep those pa tients whose hobbies make them danger ous to be left with midor cases." 'Ah! I see," said the visitor, "I sun- pose these poor mortals cherish all sorts of delusions." "1 should say so," went on the guard. See that man over there? Well, he thinks he's Alexander the Great. He used to he an ancient history professor in a night school. And that fellow over there with the red head, see him? He tells everyone that he has invented a perpetual-motion machine." "Too bad, too bad," sympathized the visitor as he cast his eyes around the room. "Ah!" be exclaimed, "teil roe about the chap who is lying on the floor over there in the corner?" The guard smiled sadly. "He's a re cent comer," he exclaimed. "That felt low was, up to a week ago, a bartend er in a weliknown downtown saloon." "Is that so? What sent him insane?" "Listening tot embahned-beef argu ments. He thinks he's a worm." And the guard closed the door and shot the bolt into its socket. At a dinner party not long ago, relates London Tit-Bits, a certain young gentle man (an enthusiastic goiter) started off with the whitebait to enumerate to his partner the details of a match that he had been playing that day. It was not. until the dessert was brought on that he. suddenly bethought himself that he had been doing all the talking; indeed, the young lady had not said a single word during the progress of the meal. It was possible that she was not interested in. the subject incredible, but still possible. "I am afraid I have been boring yon with this talk of the shop," he said, in half apology. "Oh! no; not at all," was the- pretty maiden's polite response. "Only, what is golf?" CHEAP A THE PRICE. "It came." "What earner "The gown." "What gown?" i "My gown." "Your gown. This is the first I knew about it." : ''Why, Jack! How can you? Don't yon remember?'' "No. Nor you." "It was two weeks ago, at dinner. I said I must have another gown, and you said all right." "Yon said yon must have another gown, and I said all right. , Hal I'm a good thing." "But you!" "While yon were speaking of gowns, why didn't you mention a diamond clus ter, a pair of cobs, a house and lot. yacht, and Hsten while I said all right?" .. "Now, Jack!" "How much was it?" ."Don't yon want to see it first?" "How much wit It?" -. v-- "That's all yon think about money. Yon know if I didn't dress well yon' "Yes, I know. I'd neglect yon.
