WOMAN IN PANTALooNs.

Mrs. William Blanc, pretty and
plump brunette, lived with her hus-
band in Avenue d. Bayonne. They
were anxious to move to New York
on Monday, but were embarrassed by
sundry unEquidated debts. They
resolved to steal quietly away, aud
at midnight truck was backed up
to the house and quickly loaded
AS the driver was about to move
away, Constable Shaefer served
writ of attachment at the inetant Of
William Teal In mounting the
box Officer Van Horn rudely jostled
what he took to be a young lad with
a pretty face, aud was astonished to
hear sweet voice say, 81 am a wo-
man, sir !" She was taken in her
male attire to the police station, and
a charge was preferred against her
of masquerading in the street. She
was brought before Recorder Mey.
ers yesterday morning in the same
clothing in which she was arrested,
and was stared at by the oilers
She keenly felt her situation, and
explained to the Recorder that she
donned the clothes at the suggestion
of her husband, who declared that it
might not look we'll for woman to
be riding on a truck at midnight
She was discharged with a repri
mand, and she changed her clothing
in the Chiefs ROOM N. Y. Sun.

AN HONEST MAN

One day about three weeks ago a
strange customer came into a Gratiot
Avenue grocery.
He wanted some goods, and he
paid cash down. The next day be
made another purchase and paid
cash, and as the days went by his
face and cash seemed familiar. One
day he returned with the change
given him said
Il believe | am an honest man.
You paid me twenty cents two much
The grocer received it and was
pleased. Two days after that the
stranger returned from the curbstone
to say
Another mistake on your part
you over paid me forty cents
The grocer was glad to have an
honest man, ard puzzled to know
how he should have counted SO far
out Of the way. Three days more
and the stranger picked up a dollar
bill in the store and said:
This is not my dollar | found it
on the floor, and you must take
charge OF it.
The grocer's heart melted, and he
wondered if the world was not pro,
crossing backwards to old time hons
esty. A skip Of one day, and then
the honest man brought down
wheel barrow and ordered eighteen
dollars worth Of groceries, and would
have paid cash had he not forgotten
bis wallet. He would hand it in at
noon as he went past, he said, and it
was all right with the grocer.
That was the last Of the honest
man morning fades to noon, and
noon melts away in darkness, but he
coneth not. There are no more mis-
takes in change - no more dollar bills
or the floor, and the grocer's eyes
wear a way off expression as II yearn'
no to see some enc for about two
ninutes.-Eyce Press.

MAKING A FOOL OF ONES SELF

Making a fool of ones self is with
many people part of their educa
tional experience in life. Once
brought to the experimental reali-
cation of the fact, one is apt to be
wiser ever after.
A man generally makes fool of
himself by wasting his money, or
going into some mad speculation, of
believing in mines and companies
that are but traps for the unwary,
or by loOsing his temper at crltiN
cal moment.
A woman manages to do the
same thing through the means OF
her tongue or her heart. She talks
herself into tribulation, or she gives
her love to some worthless creature
who becomes the bane of her life
1t is over his empty purse that q
man generally stands and clenches
his hands and mutters, I've made 8
fool of my self 1t ia over her emp
ty heart that a woman usual y walls
forth the same words.

James o,TooIe, Of Neosho RAP

James o. ToOle, of Neosho Rapids, who
brought US last year the tall stock of corn,
which now astonishes the world
at Philadelphia, called last Fri
day, and gave us some interest.
Ing information about farming IN
Kansas. He has farmed in various east
ern and western States, and considers
Kansas the most productive of any. The
most essential, and the most neglected
thoroughly. Pillow, pillow, is his motto
and practice. He thinks his 100 acres of
corn this is the best lot. he ever raised,
and he is going to bring us in some stalks
that will equal or surpass the tall ones of
last year. We will send them to the
Centennial. Mr.. O'Toole has no land to
sell, but If any persons who want to see
good farms and good crops in Kansas will
go to his farm near Neosho Rapids, he
will keep them over night free, and show
them what good farming accompllshes
on Kansas soil. As to weather Mr..
O'TOOIa says most all our seasons are too
wet, rather than too dry. The wet
weather this season has brought his fall
wheat down to IA or 10 bushels to the
acre, anu his oat crop will not be half as
large as he expected. The corn, however.
will be full and abundant. Mr.. OToolt
is one of our oldest settlers and hardest
workers, and the success OF his farming
is lesson to others to work the ground
as thoroughly as he does.

Her little angel voice will no more be

the narrow stream of death, and gone
safely to the other shore, where angels
are waiting to welcome her home,
s'she sleeps in the valley so sweet
Above her the green willows wave;
We planted a rose at her feet,
To bloom and decay on the grave.
She sleeps in the valley so sweet
No sound ere disturbs her repose;
So quiet in this calm retreat
She rests safe, secure from life's woes"
