The Wlfe's Victory
[ From the Detroit Free Press.


For half an hour before the circus
opened yesterday an anxious looking
mddleaged man was observed walking
around nervously, as if he had free
ticket and was afraid the show was on
the point of bursting up When the
ticket wagon opened he made a rush for
1t and bought pasteboard. but while on
his way TO the tent, ticket in hand, a
woman lodged into the procession, seized
his collar, and for half a minute the air
seemed full of heels.
Going to the circus, ell ?" exclaimed
the woman as she slammed him around,
''Sneaked out OF the back way and made
Decline for here, did YOU :"
LET up on me stop for heaven
sake stop this disgracetul conduct :" he
calculated as he tried to keep her at arms
length.
"Gentlemen," she said to the crowd, as
she held up one foot and then the other,
See them shoes I've worn em better
nor year, and there haint nothing left
but the heels and shoe strings All the
children are Just as bad of, and we don't
have enough to eat. That explains why
I'm bouncing him ~ why Ill make his
good -tor-nothing heels break his good

They fell over a rope as She grasped
him, and in the confusion he broke away
leaving the ticket on the ground. \ boy
handed it to her, and wiping the mad off
her nose with her apron. She said:
II hain't seen no girat1es. nor clowns,
nor snakes, nor hyenas, for twenty five
years, and being this ere ticket is bought,
I'll walk in and view the gorgeousness,
and the children shall come tonight if

There are smiling beauties with powdered HAIR
But She sits there faircr a thousand fold
Leaning dreamlly back III her low arm chair.
And the rossate shadows of fading light
Softly clear steal Ger the sweet young face
Where a womans tenderness blends to night
With the suileless pride OF her kuightly race.
Her small hands lie clasped in a lstcss way
On the old romance, which she holds on her
knee

In England the life of one man often
stands between penury and splendor in
the case of another. In a pot-house at
Sydney, New South Wales. sat one eve
ming a young fellow who, as a last re-
source, was going in the steerage next
day to the New Zealand diggings, when
casting his eye down the columns of a
paper he saw a solicitors advertisement
calling upon him to assume the title of
Vlscount and an income of more thou
sands year than he had pennies in his
pocket, in consequence OF the sudden
death of relative in England. The
present Earl OF Harrington, also, who was
formerly hard working civil engineer,
came into his title and an income of
$4,000 year by the sudden death of
his cousin, who killed himself by over
training for steeple chase.
