L. V-j turns into white ones an impossibility, as the color is due to the globes. This method of automatic variation of colored lights is an invention of Mr. Johnson, which he patented, thinking that the idea may be used in the future for scenic efiects. The fourth story of the factory is a rood out of fairyland.

Address, Job epartment 193 Kansas Avenue, Kansas, Hoaxer" He Was "V- iti at was at first not ad-ciy which hia eccentri cities zzLizTci for him, eaya the New York Gun. he gradually sreir. ashamed of then, end would gladly have been at less inta with hia comparatively polished On one occasion, when he tccspted an invitation to a large pub lis dinner at which many notables were to -3 present, he Singht Judge Bowen, an of iljll of distincuon, who knew him well rad liked him.

"Judge," he said, "I understand that you are to be present at the big feed this evening." "Certainly, Mr. Crockett. Pretty much everybody will be at the dinnerl believe." nVe'I, Judge," said Crockett a little jlr, "I want to ask a favor of you. Will jzi do xna the- honor to observe me nar-i 7 til through the repast?" i of course, if you wish it, Mr. Crc-iett," eaid the Judge, anticipating zzzzs fresh oddity or uncouthness; "but fcr Hever mind that at present, Judge; I'll let yen know afterward," said' Crockett.

"And, by the way, give the wink to some friands you can trust gentlemen of and distinction like yourself, you know bo that they may observe me likewise. But mind you, Judge, they must be eminent men men of bang-up names. T7U1 you do this for me. Judge?" The Judge renewed hia promise with much heartiness. The dinner came ofl accordingly.

But those who had been on the lookout for tome fresh breach of etiquette on the part of the untutored Congressman were doomed to disappointment, though the event was perhaps none the lc3 amusing. It Boon became evident that instead of eeeking to attract attention he earnestly endeavoring to avoid it. From' the outset he made superhuman efforts to attain the well-bred decorum that ruled around him, end with a very commendable degree of success. He studied the manners oi his neighbors in disposing of their viands, with the keenness of a trapper on an indistinct trail in the starlight, and imitated them with the automaton like assiduity of a Chinese tailor's apprentice. His childlike painstaking was equally pathetic and ludicrous.

Bat, as we have said, he achieved a fair degree of success. Course succeeded course without evolving a perceptible blunder. He even sipped his wine gently instead of engulfing it thiratly. The temptations of the dessert were successfully resisted, The toasts were drank sparingly. At last, to the wonder of all and the disappointment of many, the dinner was at an end without the notorious Ur.

Crockett's having betrayed a single oddity or vulgarism whatever, original or otherwise. The next day Crockett again called on Judge Bowen in his office, with a mixture of hope, anxiety and suspense in his manner. "Judge," eaid he, "did you and your friends observe me cloeely at the big dinner, as I requested The judge had divined the rough diamond's praiseworthy aspirations and fully sympathized with them. "Yes, Mr. Crockett, we did," he replied, "and, eir, we were both astonished and overjoyed.

"Bid I really behave decent then?" 'Decently, sir reiterated the judge. "That doesn't express it, eir.

"Draw it up in reg'lar black and white, ss they do resolutions, sayin' ist how I behaved at that big dinner. Then sign it, and have eminent friends of yours sign it, too.

"I fill, and with the utmost pleasure," replied Judge Brown; with difficulty controlling himself, despite the drollery of the situation.

"Call to-morrow and I will have the document duly drawn up and signed." Greatly elated Crockett called on the following day and got the coveted document. It contentEs were everj thing he could desire, and appended to it were a dozen or more distinguished signatures. For a long time afterward he was very fond of exhibiting the paper, especially to ladies at whose house he imagined he had most glaringly misconducted himself. He also, upon his return to Tennessee, displayed it with great pride to many of his constituents, and the paper became known as "the Hon. David Crockett's credentials." A GIANT ELECTRIC TREE.
