p.ccorov1N1 EATS CoRN-DoDGER.-
Stories about Piceoomini will never cease so
long as she is the ''pubiic's devoted. De-
troit paper manufactures a scene at the Biddle
House which is as good as he;kissing at Gin
cinnati. At the public table genuine untam-
ed Wolverine was enjoying a "corn-dodger"-
an article of Western food-and directly oppo-
site it happened that Piccolomini was placed,
and no eyes were wider spread than the brown
orbs which Illuminated the childish face of the
petite Siennese.
The little mink looked at the corn-dodger,
which was as big as half bushel, and then
gazed at her male companion in the prettiest
of all puzzlements. Then she laughed little,
and leaned forward so as to look in the face of
the old fellow, giving him glance full of the
most radiant dioblerie that ever mortal saw in
woman's eye. He was quite fascinated but
mstook the cause He honestly thought that
Piccolomini wanted some of his corn-dodger,
and, Selling his knife with glowing coun-
tenance and pleased expression, he ejacula-

face opposite for moment, but sudden light
dawned upon it, followed by merry laugh
and such clapping of hands, Then a success
sion of mods ensued, which signifies assent to
the delighted trader. He lost no time in carv-
ing out huge piece, which he passed over on
the point Of his knife. 1t wasn't much of a
bite for him, but the little prma donna could
barely clasp it in both hands, as she received
it in high gIee. She looked at it with de-
hghtful bewilderment for a moment, and then,
with rueful face at the predicament in which
she had got hersel put her teeth to it. She
nibbed at it like mouse, smiled an angelic
smile, took second nibble at it, and laughed
as heartily as schoolgirl. Then she depos-
tied it on the side Of the plate,-it covered up
two-thirds of it,-and with relieved air re-
turned her thanks.

ny palm clear across the table, which was
grasped with a halffearful and halfcomical
expression by the jeweed hand of the little
princess. The scene created an uproar and
there was no end of hilarity and good humor,
in which none more heartily participated than
the Picolomini.
