A WOMAN'S WOES
Coupled with the Unpleasant Situation Of a
LOGGER.

The woes of some men appear to be
innumerable. The latest unfortunate
above whose hapless head the waters of
tribulation have closed is an apparent
i~noffensive youth, who, in the sunny
days ere trouble clouded his happy ex-
~istence, dwelt unostentatiously a few
weeks ago on Sixteenth street. The
incongruities of human nature, however
were never more strikingly-exemplifed
than in that very same bold, bad young
man. Beneath that quiet and demure
exterior there ragged in tumultuous riot
a veritable volcano of reprehensible
qualities; such at least was the delicate
opinion expressed by his ~landlady, 81

she conlldentially informed some twenty
of her most intimate friends the morn

tie romance eventuated, while her
nerves were still in a iutter from the
awful shock incurred the evening pre-
vious.
The landlady in question was a some

stage of develOpment-nOt unlike one
or two others of the same class who
have been met with at various epochs
of the worlds history. She possessed
the inevitable accompaniment of a
three-piy double-barrelled ligual adjust
ment of forty horsepower, capable of
running day and night without friction,
so delicate was its mechanism. The
man of whom our story treats was mod
est. Yes, even modest to excess-he
uttered no remOnstrance when his land
lady's sister, an auburn haired syren,
made her toilet before his glass and
with his appliances. He made no COM
plant when they took n fancy to occupy
his room, but would quietly sit down
IN the sidewalk before the house at
night, merely breathing Il fervent prayer
that they might be prompted to vacate
before morning, that the unsympathiz-
ing world might not look with cold and
heartless eyes upon his degradation. He
had not eve the courage to interpose
any objections when sudden disappear
ances of such triles as jewelry and
wearing apparel began to occur, and if
perchance he would catch a glimpse of
any of his former possessions grazing
the manly form of some one of his land
lady's masculine admirers, a dazed ex-
preston would fit across his classic
features, and IL feeling akin to melan-
choly pervade his soul. At last, how
ever, when the mice entered into a sort
of an offensive alliance TO devour his
entire wardrobe, and his landlady be-
rated him for presuming to bring aught

quent investigation on the part of his
whilom hostess reveals the painful fact
that he feloniously confiscated his own
property to villify the character of his
landlady, he put those stray locks in his
comb to tarnish her sisters fair name;
and he encouraged the mice to de-

might utter venomous ISLANDERS against
the establishment in general. This is
indeed q sad, sad tale.
