HUNTING A RUNAWAY HUsBAND-A
WIPES DISGUISE.

The Denver Ne,cs tells o. gay but
effeminate looking young fellow who
had been frequenter of the concert
saloons there for some weeks, and at
length proved to be not much of fei-
low after all
On Saturday evening last the young
man spent an hour in the Varieties
hall when his restless nature carried
him into the green room. There he
sat down and ordered several bottles
Of wine. and vas enjoying himself. ap
parently, i'm the society of the insecure
young women who SO lavishly display
their charms to please the morbid
mind of the gaping audience.
About that time party OF young
men entered the green room, and
! made themselves familiar with its
adornmeuts aud inmates. One a fine
locking young fellow approached the
table where our strange friend was
sitting, when their eyes flashed glances
into each other, aud the half raised
glass of wine with splash aud a
crash to the floor. There was a scream
and sudden rushing, "a flying of the
arms about each other; some said the
lips met-most unusual for meii--
when the effeminate form suddenly
fell with "a thu,l to the floor in deeI
and awful swoon. Those who did not
anticipate the sequel tore away the
coverings of the breast to give the
sufferer air, when there stood the ala
baster bosom of a woman, now almost
stilled by the deathiike trance.
Of course, the matter thus far di
vulged was soon a topic Of comment
among the few cognizant of the facts
and the story was told us by the yeri

How a Seller oi Beer was Sold.

There are few men in Cincinnati
who make a living by selling cheap
signs OF various kinds, to hang out
side corner groceries, saloons, etc.
Since it was recommended by the
Board of Health that sign inscribed
"Smallpex" shonld be suspended in
front of houses where that disease pre-
vailed, one of the most enferprising of
the cheap sign dealers prepared a guam
tity of them to be ready for an expect
ed demand. Yesterday morning he
called with his assortment at lager
beer saloon over the canal.s
Want any signs~ he inquired OF
the portly proprietor.
"Yaw," said Hans, :" / wants a sign
Sawdust Van:ed.'"
"Here it is," said the dealer, who
was a bit Of wag, handing him one
of his smallpox sigas and receiving his
pay, departed.
The unsuspecting Teuton, supposing
it was all right, and not being able to
read English, hung it outside OF his
door. People passing on the walk,
saw the sign, turned pale, and hurried
to the other side of the street. Regu.
lar customers came, caught sight OF the
ominous inscription, with hand on the
door knob, and stole away, remarking
that they guessed they weren't yer,
dry that morning, anyhow. An im-
Fortunate creditor, whom nothing could
daunt before, blanched ut the sight OF
the sign, and going home, he went
straight to bed.
In the meantime the saloon keeper
was wondering at the absence OF hls
customers.
The regular forenoon lunch was
spread--seup, boiled ripe, Bologna
sausage, stewed liver and onions, sau-
erkraut and brown bread--but no one
