it couldn't have made a more lasting
impression.
"It happened one bright moonlight
night in November. We-were spinning
over the rails at full speed across the
country where there were few people
passing at that time of night, when I
looked out and saw the figure of a man
lying across :ne trncK not ten feet in

lay the body. I nearly fainted when I

THE ORIGINAL HANDY MAN.
lie Liven In California tinil In u Jack
of All Trurien.
In one of Frank 11, Stockton's amus
ing stories there is a character of a jack-of-all-trades
and general utility man,
who is good at everything. He can do
anyining. irom uuiuiing a nouse to a
hencoop, and is just as handy in most
other lines as in that of carpenter.
Mr. Stockton might have got the ma
terial for this character from a man
who lives in National City, Cal., says the
Philadelphia Times. He is willing to do
anything from nursing a sick person to
building a church. There is no sort of
work in which he will not engage if
paid for it, and he is versatile enough to
make himself useful in pretty nearly
anything he undertakes.
That he is slever, not only with his
hands, but with his pen, is proved by
the following advertisement, which he
inserted in a newspaper in his town:

He Is at home in the sick room to offer

Joseph Ilntton, in hjs "Cigarette Pa

"Do you recall what a pleasant, tan

really not a stutter, nor a stammer, but
just a drawl and a hesitation; Charles

"The most captivating impediment
was that of Mr. Travers, of New Vo'rk.
