REASON IN HIS REGRET.
He Mourned the Late Mr. Brown am Mourned Him Fervently.
“IT have come,’’ said the stranger
with the mild face and the side whisk-
ers to the undertaker in the little town,
‘‘to make some inquiries concerning |
the late Mr. Brown. What kind of a grave did you give him?’’ ‘‘Mr. Joseph Brown, undertaker, “‘was & poor man when he died, and his widow could not afford really high class obsequies. In fact, there is no harm in stating that there ia no stone over the grave at all. Mrs. Brown left here very shortly after her husband's death and has not since re- turned. No one in our town has seen
her subsequently. ’’
The stranger pondered a moment or |
two, and then drew his chair up to the undertaker.
‘Your information agrees perfectly with what I had supposed,’’ he said. ‘‘Now I want you toerect the bandsom- est stone you've got over the grave, and on this stone I wish the following in- «cription to be cut and gilded:
“I

“RICHARD ROBINSON.”
The stranger here produced a large roll of bills.
The undertaker was delighted. ‘‘Cer- tainly, sir. It shall be done exactly as you direct. You must have been a great friend of his, sir, 1 take no doubt.’’ And he rubbed his hands cheerfully.
*‘No, I never saw him in my life,” said the other.
‘“‘What? You astonish me. How comes it, then, that you mourn his loss so deeply, if I may ask?’’
**I married his widow.’’—San Fran- cisco Examiner.
Not Yet Kin,
Sir Nicholas Bacon had once to sen- tence a number of malefactors to be hanged. One of these, by name Hogg, pleaded hard for mercy and among other pleas put in that of kinship. “‘Nay,”’ says Bacon. ‘‘How do you maks that out?’’ Says the prisoner, **‘My name is Hogg and yours is Bacon, and Hogg has ever been kip to Bacon.’”’ ““Not,’’ says Bacon, ‘‘till it bas been well hanged,’’ aud forthwith confirmed the sentence.—Exchange.

ELEVATORS CARRY MILLIONS. More Than Forty Thousand Passengers Rach Hour In Thirty Buildings.
An estimate of the number of persons carried by elevators in New York busi- ness houses is purely a matter of conjec- ture. One of the members of a large firm engaged in the manufacture of elevator: gave his estimate that 500,000 passengets are carried daily in about 30 of the sky scraping buildings alone. Another person connected with the same firm said that this estimate should be doubled to be cor- rect.
It is difficult to keep a record: of the per- sons using elevators. In the case of the elevated railroads, surface roads and other common carriers, the tickets or money collected can be used as a meansof obtain- ing statistics, but nothing of this kind is possible with the elevators, which are pat- ronized daily by thousands of persons who pay nothirg for the privilege.
It is estimated that in the average bulid- ing using several elevators trips are made about every minute and a half. One large retail store in Sixth avenue has. 82 eleva- tors. Many of the buildings have eight and ten, and the number in other build- ings varies from one to six. Taking 80 buildings with six elevators, each carrying six passengers per trip, it will be seen that in one hour 43,200 passengers would be carried. In five busy hours 216,000 passen- gers would represent the number of per- sons carried in only 80 buildings. From this it niay be seen that with thousands of elevators in use in New York the figures are enormous. In 1887 it was estimated that 16,000 persons were carried in one day by the two elevators in the Potter building.
In the clearing house 250 passengers patronize the elevator regularly between 12 and 1 o’clock. The New York Life building has eight elevators in operation, and it is reported that each elevator car- ries 2,000 passengers each day. In the Mutual Reserve building 5,000 passengers are carried daily. The Postal Telegraph building elevators average 2,700 hours’ work per month. A low estimate of the number of passengers carried may be put at 300 passengers per hour, equal to 810,- 000 persons in one month. When it is re- membered that this represents the service in one building, it will be seen that the
{ amount of work done by elevators is vast.

His Notion of It.
““Why,”’ she asked, ‘‘do so many of the poets write about goldenrod? I6¢ seems as if every one of them had tried to glorify it.’’
‘‘Well,’’ replied the man who had worked on a farm, ‘‘the only explana- tion Ican give is that the poets probably never tried to raise potatoes in a field where goldenrod had got a good sturt.’’ —Cleveland Leader.

** What's the matter, old man? You look sad.’’
‘Tam. I just asked Farnsworth to lend me $5.”’
‘“‘And I suppose he said he didn’t bave that much in the world.’’
‘“‘No. He had to get a $10 bill chang- ed in order to let me have what I had asked for.’’—Cleveland Leader.
