has just transpired. The heroine Is a
single lady Of an exceedingly "uncer-

and has bad dreams, and nothing but
morphine will relieve her. She wore
out the patience OF five different drug
gists, since the small quantity they
allowed her each time obliged her to
call often. For the last fortnight she
has been pestering her fifth victim.
Day before yesterday she preferred her
usual request, and his good nature
broke down. "Can't let you have
any," was the curt reply. "Why
not?" she asked with teigned sur
prise. mo matter why; | won't"
"But doctor, what else can do for
my poor nerves la such state ?" 'Gct

The editor of the Hartford Times we
think must have paid California visit
and put up at a hotel in San Francisco
unknown to the general run Of citizens.
As no does not locate the position OF
the hotel, we presume It must be In
the classic purlieus Of the Barbary
Coast. Here Is his account:
"rhere Is a hotel In San Francisco
under the sole management Of the fair
sex. From the proprletress to the hall
girl, from the bar tender to the boot
black, all connected with the establish
ment are women. The portresSes are
muscular Germans, who handle the
most mammoth 'Saratogas' deity and
elsily, while the clerk Is handsome
brunette, who parts her short, black
rlngiets on one side, and makes bright
repartees to the jokes Of the drummers
and statesmen who largely frequent the
house: Tho bar tender can make a
cocktail quicker and better than any
other in the State, and drinks herself
every time she Is asked to, which on an
average Is about fifty times a day."
