There is an exquisite beau in town whose
credit was good at certain store for a S75
toilet set, which he sent to his dulcinea as a
New Year gift. This week the bill therefor
was presented, whereupon he loftily exclaimed,
"Sir, do you think would disgrace myself by

things % The merchant expected nothing

A Female DANTE.
[Chtcago Inter Ocean !


Henry Worn has been chased over half the
country by young woman who wants to
marry him, and he's almost worn out. Her
name is Anna Morris, and she is woman OF
pluck, who endeavors to enforce her wishes
Mt the point of the pistol. Several years ago
Worn met Anna in San Francisco; she was
10 years old, had black eyes and blonde hair,
boarded Mt "a Downer street, and captured
Henrys heart. He was In easy ereum-
stances, eourted her two years, arranged to
get married, lavished about 81 900 on her, and
then found out she was false awfully false.
Then he went to New York, Buffalo, Cleve-
land, Louisville. st. Louis, Indianapolis, De-
troit and Oshkosh, but Anna still pursued
him, and hunted him out again. A while
back he came here, and opened tannery on
the corner of State and Twenty-second
streets. Thursday morning his heart sank
when he found her standing on the steps Of
the postoffice when he went In to get his
mail. She smiled sweetly, said she wanted
to marry him, would give him ten days to
think about it, and if he didn't come to time
she'd have his gore. Then they parted. A53
O'Clock that afternoon they met again at the
Sherman House She spoke again. He said
he wasn't matrimonially inclined, and then
she drew a revolver, and held 1t up SO that he
could look down the barrel. He seized her
arm, and she dropped the weapon, but picked
it up again and made off. Worn says he's
had enough OF this thing now, and will have
that female Dante arrested if she shows up
again.

prudence the eloquent Republican leader re-
cognizes in this body powerful weapon for
the propagation Of his principles. 1t would
be impossible to convey an idea of the mix
ture of wisdom, common sense and emotional
sentiment Gambetta employs in swaying his
audience. His knowledge of the pregnable
graceful phraseology, and his enthusiastic

which his opponents exhaust their political
fury In vain. Christmas Eve Gambetta re-
ceived perfect ovation, and has sent forth 500
