Twenty years ago a printer own
ing a stvaai engine which supplied
m re power than he needed, began
liitnishing power to his neighbors.
They quickly found it cheaper to
take' a shall from him than bny and
operate nn engine for themselves, and
the business grew rapidly. This is
the very heart of the printing busi
ness of (iothan. Within the space of
eighty acres is more capital inVeitcd;
in types and their accessories thxn in
half of all America. It was a rare
field for nidi an en'erpriso. A stock
company was formed with $80,000
capital, "every dime of it represented
in the engines, boilers ami shading.
(Jreat papers like- the 7'ribtme, Sun
an .1 Jjvibjcr found it cheaper to bir
power than t generate it, and
ihatifvh they have engines of their
own, they hold them only as reserves
in case ol recident. No accident has
ocenred these twenty years, A lire
pump of immense power has been at
inched to theso engines, a thousand
feet of hose arc always rsa.ly for use;
men are at hand every hour of the
twenty-four, and re; ea-edly have
turned the full power of these mighty
nonius upon the pumps, and nut oul
iluii"crous fires In-fore even our alert
-'ire Department could reach the
pot. The chained slave has saved
his master nearly halt a milliou ot
moncv in this way, to say nothing of
averted disorganization of business
from a fire.

It was evening, ami the boat ugida

oul of his pocket a large roll ot bank
bills which he carefully unrolled and
displayed, paid for the drinks, aud
another and another, seemingly
bound for a spree and somewhat into
it, and as the Sharps thought, uli-.iut
ready to pluck. Often he would call
Sam, who was always dose by:
"Sam hold on lo the bags, and nary

safe, and nary a spill." The gam
bler commeiiaed:
"Say, old fellow, suppose we have
a game of cards to pass away the

"Well, boys, I don't 'know much

who called for In drinks as ollen,

to the last dime, some tort thousand
dollars on the table, when the planter
called Sam.
'Sim, fetch out them saddle bags,

"Yes, massa, hcio they be, and nary

out, taking out package after package

The gamblers were amazed, aud be
gan to think they had caught a Tar
tar. They had put up all they had
and demanded a call, which the
planter gave. Taking out a good
sized navy revolver he threw down
his cards, four kings aii I an ace,
(he had been as sharp as they). He
threw off his obi hat, look off hit
wig and false whisker, and stood be
fore then revealed. They exclaimed
in a voice of astonishment, "Ntd

"Yes, gentlemen," raking in the
pile, "Ned Monroe, who yu a ew

I then swore lo be revenged, and
have wailed until now. I knew you
were coming on tbi boat and wan

Thut Funny Coluiun.
Camden Post
A city paper thought it must do
like its neighbors and have a para
griph column. It advertised for tho
right sort of a man in this way:
"Waje no object; good look not de
sirable; good sense not expected."
The man came and went to work.
Ouu col u m n was his task, and ho fur
nished il. It looked well as printed,
and th publisher limped for good re
sults. During th following day a
plain-looking fanner came in and
usked the editor .for the man who
wrole that column. The parsgrapher
was speedily summoned.
"You are the author of this col
umn, I hoar ?" said the farmor. "Yes,
sir," proudly rubbing his hand.
''I owe you a debt which 1 can
only partly reply In money; but here
are to which 1 insist on you taking
ns an eirnest of gratitude I feel to
ward you." 3
The man of paragraphs took it and
asked what was the especial causo ot
gratituded.
Tho farmer said: " l on savu my
brother's lif alter he had been
given up by tl.e doctor. It wa
this way: He was taken last aionaay
with a fit ol laughing nyinc,
wliich got wors and wore. Wo
had tried everything in vain; bad
, . . i
ta en bitn to funerals ana scenes oi
all the horrible accidents wo couia
hear of, but till ho laughed and
laughed. Medijine wa equally use
less, and there seemed nothing- bat
death for linn, lie could not eat,
drink, or sleep; nothing but laugh.
His mouth stretched twice it usual
width, i ml his jaw were almost para
lyzed. I got your paper and com
menced reading your column of
comic to him. IJulore I had got to
the end of the first one I could notico
an improvement in him, and by ihd
time I had got htlf through tho col
umn his mouth was entirely closed,
and he was calm as ever. He has
never laughed since, and I don't be
lieve ho ever will. That is the cause
of my gratitude Is it not enough ?"
The publisher thought so, and con
cluded to dispense with ihe rrigioal
column f funny paragraph.
