gives evidence there is some-
thing of the bold, independent,
upright man in his composition;
while ths chicken- hearted, weak
character is cabable of making
neither friends nor foes.

! Inebriated Club Man taw a Light Up-
stairs, but It Was In a Lamp-
pest
Gen. Theodore A. Bingham, who
has resigned the post of chief engi-
neer of New York's bureau of high-
ways because he could get nothing
accomplished, said the other day to
a reporter :
"Despite all my efforts in that of-
fice, there were no results. I re-
minded myself—though in no invid-
ious sense—of fiohsa C.olde.
"Gobsa Oolde, the well-known
clubman, was found by a police offi-
cer, very late one night, in a pitiable
state of intoxication. The wretched
fellow stood beneath a lamp post
which he was kicking with might
and main.
"Slightly amused, the policeman
watched him a moment. Then he
said:
"'llore, sir, what are you doing
there ?'
"\o reply. Only—hong. bang,
hang—(Johsa dealt the lamppost
three more kicks.
"'What are you doing?' repeated
the policeman.
"Gobsa delivered another quick
volley of very furious kicks, ai d
then, looking up, he said :
"'Oh, I know she's in all righA,
'cause there'sh—hie—a light up-
stairs.' "
DOG TREATED AT BELLEVUE
Setter Puppy With Broken Leg Visits
the Hospital and Is Given
Treatment.
A Gordon setter puppy, black,
lemon and white, still in the wistful
and apologetic age, wabbled on three
legs under the gate into Bellevue
hospital yard last night. When he
came to where half a dozen doctors
were sitting lie stopped with much
wagging of tail and poised the in-
jured paw. All six doetors prompt-
y made an examination.
"You have a compound fracture
of the tibia," said one of them, and
added; "You poor little beast," for
it is a compound fracture when the
broken hone pokes through the skin.
They carried him into the con-
sulting office, where two nurses held
him while the paw was cleansed and
plinted. It was noticed t^at his
head and points were very good, and
though he wore no collar his be-
havior was that of a gentleman. I lur-
ing eonvahiseenee he will stay in the
Bellevue stable, and afterward, if
no one has claimed him, the six doc-
tors are going to draw straws to see
who gets him to keq..—Xcw York
WORTHY OF THE HIGHEST.
The talk had turned to the orphan
hildrcn of Henry Doane of Chcrrv-
ville. The former resident asked
the stage driver how they had pros-
pered.
"They've done first rate," was the
hearty response. "Both of them done
first, rate.
"Joe Eddie, be learned the car-
penter's trade, and has worked right
along; and as for Emma Susan—
well, I'll tell* you what somebody
from over the Cetiter said to me only
last week about her. in conversation
regarding her husband.
"Emma Susan married Frank-
Baxter, one of the .Fames Baxters.
Well, that man from the Center, he
said to me, '1 hear Frank Baxter's
been chosen selectman. Well, I don't
know hut what he'll do all right for
you,' lie snid, 'but whether he's the
man for the place or not, there's
one thing certain—if ever a woman
looked suitable to the position of se-
lect man's wife, and would do it
credit, Emma Susan Baxter's that
woman !' "—Youth's Companion.
EXPLORING HERCULANEUM.
Very extensive excavations are to
be made shortly at llerculaneum,
Italy. The Italian chancellor of the
exchequer has granted a million
lire for the purpose, and the king
himself has promised to give 500,000
lire. It is curious to note that 60
houses have been biiilt right over
the streets .of the old town. These
will all have'to be pulled down. Con-
siderable treasure, it is said, lies hid-
den beqeath the rains-to be exam-
