A subscription was raised for bis benefit: and the money handed to hi hi nt a banquet at which the twenty- seven subscribers were present. Bibi' ' health was drunk with enthusiasm. He rose to reply, but emotion bo over came hlra that he sought permission to retire.

Bent at th Knees. Buckskin clothing was in the early days of the western country almost universal, among the frontiersmen at least When the railroad first went through Idaho an old trapper came down out of the mountains and was standing on the platform of a little sta tion. Ills buckskin trousers, soaked and stretched by the rain and the melt ing snow of the winter and then dried and shrunk by the August sun, bagged most wonderfully at the knees. A ten derfoot who stood near by observed him with interest for several minutes. Then he walked over to him and in quired: , . "Well, If you're going to Jump why don't you Jump?" , r.

Hlggins Wentworth was hoeing one April morning when three rough look ing men climbed the fence and crossed the field to him. They had Just been shipwrecked, they said, on the brig Maria. They' had lost even their clothes;' Would Hlggins help them? Hlggins Wentworth looked closely into the sailors' faces, for he knew the ways Of men. Then he said: ", "You, the bowlegged one, go stand twenty yards to the right, and I'll get you to help me a minute with the seed In'. You, baldy, there, you stand twen ty yards to the left" ' The two men complied, and the Hlg gins Wentworth said quietly to the man who remained: "What did " you say your captain's name was?"; . ' . . "Williams. Captain Williams," was the reply. , '. -, ' The old farmer sauntered to the man off to the right . "What was your captain's name?' he asked. ' ' ' - "Everett, sir," the man answered. Hlggins Wentworth crossed the field to the third man. "What was your captain's name?" "The name was Captain Jones." Hlggins Wentworth leaned on bis hoe and gathered the three men about him. - .- . "A fine lot of sailors yon are," he snorted, "to go to sea In a ship with three captains! No wonder you were wrecked. It served yon right" De troit Free Press. The Last Straw. ' ' They were driving from the railway station to the village In which the blissful honeymoon was to be passed, and, though she had not as yet brush ed the confetti out of her hair, the bride was in an agony of nervousness In case they should be taken for any thing but a couple well seasoned to the Joys and sorrows of matrimony. ;' Market Quotations.
