And even in the set of giving thanks snd praying for Christian perfection, they were meditating opon trivial worldly matters. e*e “Of course there were many honorable exoeptions in the persons of honest Christians, but there were so many hypocrites io the thanking business that I dashed the telesooptioon aside in disgust.

That gentleman with the blaek Prinee Albert oust sad high silk bat, wbuss liuen collsre and cufis are always ef the most immaculate white, that le Sidney D. Maxwell, the Supt-rintendent of the C^amcer of Commerce. His tall precise form and military sir are as familiar to ths denizene of Price Hill, his home, asar# hisolose-oropped auburn whleksrs te habitues of the floor. Mr. Maxwell is a native of Georgia, and among the other products of the Suuia be brought with him tq his semi-northern home, was the title of (''Oionel, which he obtained when serving on me sta 1 of s Southern General. Mr. Maxwell is an old newspsper vian.and at eucii has seen some active and spirited scenes. It is Mr. Maxwell’s genius that prepares tne elabórale annuals of the Clucinuatl (Jhamber of Comraerc^, with iin viiluable tables of statieticB. He baa held the positiou of Superintendent con tin iiously for seveuteen ye^rs. Mr. Maxweil’a position le In many respects a trying one. For weeks and weeks ne has sought to find the guilty wretch wno throws handsful of Corn and whole sboopsful offiCur on ths bucks and down the oolUrs of unaus-pecting membere in the “grain corner.” Whi-n be wan looking in one direction a whole saJvo of core would strike him in the buck of the head, and turn quickly as be would he coujd not detect the thrower. Almost before he could recover, a handful ef wheat, coming trom the Oiher direction, would trickle down hie neck, and still the vllíain remains uncaufht. Despite nil these provocations, Mr. Maxwell was never known to swear. *•* Have you ever heard of “Maxie,” AI. Maxwell, the well dresaed and up-tu-•nuit-all-aroand purter of the Gibson Houief There is not a better known mau in the busineee anywhere in me eountry. Every drummer knows him and has carried his fame to all the points of the oumpans he visits, “Maxle’s” musioal leuor aS be ‘‘csile” trains is a melody sweat to bear. .Many and vain have been the aiiempia at tmiiaiion of -that wondertai song, wiin its lark-like iiuonations and cadences that rise and fall like the swelling waves of a lake. “Mnxle” has been wito the Gibson House twenty-five years, and be is more familiar with the* time tables of the many raliroads than the train dispatch* ere themselves. A traveler once sought to stump him by asking when a certain train left Oehk>>sh, Wis., and what hour it reached Little Rock, Ark.; also whether there were any sleeping cars on ths train, aud what were the aocomnaodations fer e<-ourmg meals en route. To his infinite surprise “Maxie” answered him promptly and, aa a eubsequent eombahson with the railway guide proved, oerrect- ly, even to the amount of “tip” the porter expeoted. “Maxis’ is, indeed, a marvel, aad Colonel Dunbar would not part with him for a gold mine. Ous of “Maxie’a” weaknesses, perhaps the only une, is bis fondness fur dress, and he seta the correct stylos, for even the weli-dre-aed cl»<rk8. Of oeuee be is • Ciiioinnati product. He ean dietlnotly recall the days when he wae a leader’of the “Frogtown” bovs, a suburb that long ago was replaced by the C., H. A D. depot. “Maxie” baa many interesting stones to rel ae of the raide the “Frogtown” boys were wont to msX# upon tho “Hill ooys,” of Sixth street, and the Dloody battles that ensued. There is a porter in the Beekel Uuuse, Dayton, named Jack Jordan, who is the tdovereai imitatleii extant of “Maxie,” both aa to dress, hit fund of Information and the musical qualities of his voice. There is this dllference, however; Jordan is swarthy with black mustache aud hair, while “Maxie” Is a proDouced blonde. •% Singular, Is fa not, that a man whose name Is Bartholomew Should be very generally known na John.

That was fifty-eight years ago, when Clnolnnail wane village of meager proportions and no prospects. Howe ver, the city haa grown, and with it “Uncle John” and hi' aior .

He told the truth. There is uot a more popular citizen liian Mr, Stevens, who has been twice President of the lioard pf Exposition Ooramission-era, once President of the Chamoer of Commerce and at present head of the Market National Bank and a member of the Board of Fito Coramiasiouers. He is a self-made man and a great admirer of vouih, as well' as a firm friend and aiiviser of boy»: No man know» better how to address an assemblage of youth, ami hla reraakrs to newsbuye ou various occasions, are still treasured by many o< his h ar- rs. Mr. Siev. n» is a man of mc>d«at drese.with a prediliction for navy blue. He takes great interest ih the Fire Department, and is well liked by the Fire Laddies. To hise orle much of ibedepartment’sefBcienoy is due. Many and many a day last winter did ne travel to Oelumbue and argue with ihe Hainilten delegation in the Legislature in favor of tbo passage of the bill authorizing new engine bouses, and he succeeded; and seven new engine houses now aiaud in various stages of completion, a monuujeai to hia perseverance and energy. For sume limo Mr. Stevens has threatened to leave Cincinnati and locate iu Texas; still later he has cast longing eyes in the direction of Wichita, Kan. Those who know him best, however, say there is little danger of Mr. Steveus leaving the city, which he ¡oves almost as well as life itself, for a strange country. All of Mr. Htevens’ suocesees, and Sis fortune, were achieved In Cincinnati, and in Cincinnati he will prtibably remain until the end of the chapter. Novel Writing Don’t Pay. [New York rtun.) “I have written.a novel,” said a jonr-nalist to a publisher. “I am sorry for you,” said the publi«*ner. “You would have done better to have spent the time it took by taking a fi-hing trip. Novels —that is, American novels-,-don’t f-ay. We set all sort»—good, bad and trash}’— from England and France in such plenty and »o cheap that a mah who uses hia pea to get a living bad better devote it to any work rather than novel willing.
