HIS GOOD DEED. h Wm Well Done, but It Wai Tagged! v With a Return Ticket. "My father," snld the man with the Bide -whiskers, "was a lawyer. One ot his clients was a bothersome old Iftdy who i9od to wear his life out. She would pay him Interminable visits at his office and nt our home, talking him almost to death about nothing every time she came, and when she vras out of town her letters to him were worse than her visits. "Once when father was confined to his room by a very bad attack of the gout and consequently was not In the best of humor he received a very long telegram from the old lady containing a lot of words about nothing. This of itself did not tend to Increase father's good humor, but when he discovered that the old lady had sent It to him collect, $4.00 well, to say that he was angry out faintly expresses his condi tion of mind. Father at once called for writing materials and a supply of tele graph blanks and for the next hour devoted himself, in spite of the gout, to writing a reply to his client's tele gram. Just as he finished mother en tered the room. Father told her of the collect telegram he had received and, showing her the reply, said: 'This tele gram Is as long as I can possibly make It. I am going to send It col lect. It will cost her somewhere be tween $20 and $23, but It will teach her a lesson which she needs badly.' "Mother tried hard to persunde him not to send it, but father was ada mant. He sent for Jim, my elder brother, a boy of about fourteen, and gave him the telegram, with direc tions to send It at once at day rates. At the same time he gave Jim a check on his bank to get cashed. .When Jim went off with the telegram and the checkt father, soothed by the knowl edge of a 'good deed well done,' set tled down to enjoy his morning paper in r.s much comfort as the gout would permit. In about two hours Jim re turned and, going to father's room, handed, him the money for the check. Father took the money and counted it, and then he counted It again. "'What does this mean, Jim?' he asked. "I gave you a cheek for ?50, but you've brought me back only $20.' " 'Oh, that's all right, father, replied Jim reassuringly; 'the telegram you gave me to send cost S24.' "Father's gout took a turn for the worse, and he was in bed for a week." Baltimore American. Doing Nicely. ' One of the good fellows of Broad way is a really good fellow, except that he sometimes Inclines an ear to the tempting of the demon rum, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. When that happens his wife sends out a hurry call for him, claps him in a Turkish bath and takes the stewed remains home a day or so later full of remorse and echoes. The other night he failed to appear at the domestic hearth at his usual hour. Some time later his wife began making queries by tele phone. Eventually she got on the wire of a friend of the periodical souse. "Have you seen Harry lately?" she asked. The friend assured her that he had Just parted from her spouse. Yes, Harry had been drinking a little. The friend very reluctantly admitted It. "Is Harry drunk V" asked the wife. "Oh, no, ma'am," said the friend in tones of horror. "Oh, no, not at all. By no means. When I left him he was able to get along very nicely on his bands and knees." They Played Cork.. "I walked into a western bar,'' said a New York gambler, "and the pro prietor greeted me with, 'Did you ever play the game of corks?' " 'Trot It out.' I said, and he brougnt out a bunch of corks and set them In front of the longest lino of guests you "UCa MT CTKOKNS IMTO THE BAB." rr can in voiir life. 'Now.' says he, 'the last man to pick up his cork after I say go is stuck. Uor ue uoij.ri.-u, and I dug my fingers Into the bar in my hurry. I was the nrst to pi,u. w my cork, all right, but I was the last too. The rest just sioou Rtouuu uu iRiiiriiml. The round for that bunch of pirates cost me exactly $12.50."
