JOHN BRENNAN’S LIE.
It Traveled Bound the World and
Caused Lota ot Anxiety.
One of the silliest lies ever told
was the famous invention of Sailor
man John Brennan of Sligo. It was
made out of whole cloth. There
wasn’t the shadow of foundation for
it, but there was so much that
might have been true about it that
it was cabled round the world when
ever men go down to the sea in
ships, and for several hours it kept
hundreds of people on the rack of
anxiety.
About 3 o’clock in the afternoon
of Oct. 14,1891, a bulletin was post
ed at the New York Maritime Ex
change that the City of Rome had
foundered off St.Shotts.off the coast
of Newfoundland. About the same
time the newspaper offices got a dis
patch from St. John’s, N. F., saying
that Sailorman John Brennan of
Sligo, Ireland, had got into the lit
tle town of Trepassy that morning
from Peter’s river and had declared
that he was probably the only sur
vivor of the City of Rome, which
had struck on the rocks and gone
down. He was in such a condition
of exhaustion that nothing more
could be got out of him until he
hud had rest and nourishment.
1 nat story was earned ana tele
graphed everywhere, and at once
the newspapers began to strive for
further details. The first effort was
to get confirmation or denial. It
was found at once that the City of
Rome had sailed from New York at
such a time that she must have
been near St. Shotts w’hen Brennan
said she was there. That looked like
confirmation. The evening papers
got out extras, with lists of the pas
sengers and crew, pictures of the
ship and her history. The offices
of the Anchor line agents were
crowded with persons eager for
news. But there was no newrs.
Friends of the passengers flocked'
about the place. The Maritime and
Lloyd’s registers were searched for
reports of other ships with names
similar to that of the City of Rome.
An Italian Cittadi Roma was found,
but when she was tracked it was
found she was all richt.
Then the newspapers began to
prepare to send men to the scene of
the wreck. Boston papers got men
off for Halifax, there to take ocean
tugs for St. Shotts. All the time
the telegraph and cable were work
ed for further news from Newfound
land. At last there came a dispatch
from the cable station at Cape Race
to the Anchor line agents here:
“Your City of Rome passed here
on Tuesday. All well,” it said.
That was all. For the next twen
ty-four hours the truth hustled to
overtake the lie. It succeeded, but
it was a hard chase. Brennan had
absolutely nothing on which to go
in making up his story. He couldn’t
have known even that the City of
Rome was in New York or had sail
ed. He just fired in the air, and,
as may happen once in ten million
times, he hit the mark.
Not In His Line.
“1 presume, my good fellow,
you’re a laborer?” said a lawyer to
a plainly dressed witness. “You are
right—I’m a workman, sir,” replied
the witness, who was a civil engi
neer. “Familiar witli the use of the
pick, shovel and spade,' 1 presume?”
“To some extent. Those are not the
principal instruments of my trade,
though.” “Perhaps you will con
descend to enlighten me as to your
principal implements?” “It is
scarcely worth while. You don’t
understand their nature or use.”
“Probably not, but I insist on know
ing what they are.” “Brains.”
A Sharp Buyer.
An Irishman passing a shop where
a notice was displayed saying that
everything was sold by the yard
thought he would play a joke on the
shopman, so he entered the shop
and asked for a yard of milk. The
shopman, not in the least taken
aback, dipped his fingers in a bowl
of milk and drew a line a yard long
on the counter. Pat, not wishing
to be caught in his own trap, asked
the price.
“Sixpence,” said the shopman.
“All right, sorr,” said Pat. “Roll
it up; I’ll take it.”—Dublin Express.
The Drawback.
Mile. Victorine confides to the
janitor’s wife that her mistress, who
is old and feeble, has promised to
remember her in her will if she
takes good care of her till she dies.
The janitor’s wife shrugs her shoul
ders.
“The worst of that is, my dear,
lhat the better you take care of her
the longer you’ll have to wait for
your legacy.”—Paris Journal.
8hop Talk.
“How is business?” asked the
baker.
“Oh, just sew sew," replied the
tailor. “How is it with you?”
“I’m making dough right along,”
replied the baker.—Cincinnati En
quirer.
