GOT EVEN WITH THE BOY
How the Bookkeeper Got HI Revenge
on the Slangy Moftgenger.
This is the story of a crusty book
keeper and a bad, bad messenger boy.
Tho bookkeeper ia employed in. a large
Chestnut street house. The messenger
boy ia a part of the niig-hty service of
the W'estern Union Telegraph company,
says the Philadelphia Record. The boy
crawled into the office where the book
keeper sat at his desk early yesterday
morning and asked for Mr. C , the
head of the firm.
"Got a message?"
"No," said the boy; "a man asked me
to come here and see if he was in." ,
. "Well, he's out," snapped the book
keeper. "I'll wait," said the boy.
"What for?" inquired the other.
"Cat fur," retorted the boy, quickly I
The bookkeeper looked bock for a j
minute, then he said : "All right, wait,"
and went on with his work. The boy
sat down and began to whistle "Paradise
Alley." He fidgeted around and sang
a bit just to tease the bookkeeper. The
latter paid no attention to him. The
boy grew Weury after an hour or so,
and finally he asked:
"Say, when'a de main guy o dia place
comin' back?"
"Don't know," said the bookkeeper,
without looking up.
"Where's 'e at?" naked the boy.
"In Europe," snid the other.
Then the bad boy used language that
thoroughly proved his badness and
made it necessary for the porter to
eject him.
WHY HE FELT PROUD.

Billy Shakespeare.
He is the young mlin who writes the
newspaper advertisements for a large
mercantile firm, saya the Detroit Free
Press. He writes them well, too, and
enjoys life as ia the privilege of a man
who has Buccefisfully applied himself
to his business. Among a number of
friends with whom he was talking was
one whose long acquaintunoe makes it
possible for his to say things which
would lie resented from other persons.
"It seems to me," remarked the friend,
"that you are a lucky person."
"Well," was the reply, "that Is w hat the
envious always say of men who makes
a success of literature. I have no doubt
that remark has been made of nearly
every man who has worked hard and
finally prospered."
"You seem to take a rather serious
view of your calling."
"1 have to. It means shoes and neck
ties and house rent and three meals a
day and lota of other little things that
make life pleasnnt."
"Still, 1 don't think it is very much to
be proud of.
"Perhaps not. I struggle wifh my
self-esteem every now and then."
"Well, this period of civiKation hns
certainly produced strange demands."
"That's It, There' the keynote of
one whole situation. When I reflect that
I am ninkitiff a good living in an era
when Fhtikeupcnre or Itryun would
probably walk the streets in vain look
Ing for a Job, I tell you I enn't help get
ting a lit tie bit proud, and I might just
as well own up to it."

At a well-served table they are brought,
on swimming about in a gluts IhiwI of

which renders Ihe creatures hysteri

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
AD60.WTEE.Y PURE
siam sapphireTmines. :
Value of Their Product Is In the Quantity
- Mot Quality.
The Pailin mines are spread over an
area six miles by two, and consist, of 13
mining villages, the chief of whfrh are
Baw Taka and Baw Dineo. Theme' two
tire more than four miles apart., but
J a a
iney are joined oy an excellent road cut
through the forest and well drained.
Sapphires, says the London Times, are
found all over this district; the whole
countryside is riddled with holes stink
in the red soil down to the sapphire
layer. Formerly the stones were found
quite near the surface, but those places
have long since been, exhausted, al
though the Burmese still continue to
turn over the old heaps in the firm con
viction that precious stones grow. Now
the stones nre found at a depth of from
15 to 25 feet, in a reddish, gravelly layer
of varying thickness up to 18 inches.
The pit sunk is usually some five feet
in diameter and either square or cir
cular. Soil is raised in bamboo bask
ets, attached to the end of a balanced
lever, and when the sapphire layer is
reached the stratum is carried to the
nearest water and washed carefully for
stones. Not more than one shaft in
three pays for its working expenses, but
when the sapphire layer ia struck the
profits may lie large indeed.. It is all
a question of luck. To dig and work out
one shaft occupies 'two or three men
one month. Two or three Burmese gn
erally go Into partnership antl hire
Laos miners to work for them and sink
Ihe shaft at the rote of two tlcals (two
shillings eight pence) per 18 inches. Oc
casiotmlly snpphires of considerable
value reward the miner, but tho sap
phires of Pailin are of more commercial
value because of their quant ity than be
cause of their intrinsic excellence.
A NEW RECORD. '
Dssnsst Spot la the Ocean Nearly 81 1
Miles.
Foraovearsormorethedeepcstitpot In
the ocean has been supposed to be to the
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. There the bottom lies 4.055
fiithoniB down, or more than five miles
beneath the .turfnee of the w aves.
In the latest hydrographcr'a repot t of
admiralty Bttrveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which
has stood no long. Is lieaten, for there Is
oft:clnl Information of a deeper sound
ing than hits hitherto been made. The
deepest spot In the occtin, so fur as
known nt present, has lieen found to be
In the neighborhood of the Friendly ond
Keriniuli e Islands, in the Southern Pa
cillc. Here the maximum depth is
5,155 fnthoni't, or clow upon six tulles.
The olsxervation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Penguin, Isall
the more Interesting for the fact that it
lie-ir out the result of previous re
searches, show ing curiously enough aa
it doea that the deepest parts of the sea
are not fur from land.
Deep-sea Bounding has come of late
year an exact science In Itself. One cu
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tle know n, is that the "leads" used have
lo be const rtieted with rsiecial strength
In order to withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass of water which
la-ars down uMin them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great Is this ares
surj that the sounding apparatus In
ordinary use, would be crushed.

Tho Wsjr a Southern Congressman
Re-
garcU Ills Lot.
"Some people may think that a con
gressman saves a pile of money out of
his salary," said n well-known southern
congressman, who was talking to a
Washington Star reporter on the vicis
situdes of running for office, and espe
cially for congre9,"butamanhas to be
a small walking bank to accommodate
the large number of his 'friends' and
supporters who need a little money for
some urgent matter. In my state we
have to make campaigns and appear be
fore the people at meetings. Well, I
have never attended a meeting that I
did not have some kind of a subscript
tion poked into my face. Somebody
wants something for a church and for
missionary purposes or for helping
some fellow who has been burned out.
"You can't avoid subscribing, and
have to head the list with the largest
sum. Then about the time you think
you are through having your leg pulled
some lazy fellow will walk up and say:
'How do, general? I had ter quit my
work ter come out and hear you terday,
and I thunk yer niout give m a dollar.'
While you have the greatest contempt
for the man, you give him the dollar.
"When you leave the meeting you are
out anywhere from $20 to $50. These
are just a few Instances of what a can
didate has to spend money for. After
h gets through the campaign and is
elected he has to furnish every dead
teat from his district who should hap
pen to come to Washington with
money. I've actually given them
money and railroad tickets to get home
and have them go back and work
agninst me." p.
ALLIGATOR PEARS.

fruits, because little cultivated, almost
unknown outside of the tropics, and
most highly appreciated when once in

section of tho I'nihrd states where it
con be cultivated on a largn hcaleand ua
a profitable crop. Here It grows as lux
urinntly and with as little care as the
guava, though It requires a greater
depth of soil. The tree is tall, slender,
and covered w ith n th use fol'ttgeof dark
glossy green, while the ripened fruit,
also green In citlor, is smooth-skinned
and oh large na a iimiii'h two fists. In
