SO AWFUL STUPID.

They sat together on the front steps
ct her residence on Park avenue, and
whispered a great many things that
would look real silly in print. The moon
peeped modestly down upon them, and
lit up his face just enough for it to be
observed that he wore bashful, reserved
expression, such a ono as always serves
to cast a cloud over the moro energetic
and affecticnate grades Of love making.
She determined to use little strategy to
draw him out, and to induce him to give
her the kiss for which she was just ach.
ing. In . low cooling voice she said
John, suppose we had just come in
on a train, and it was raining real hard
what would we do!"
why, wait in the depot till it cleared
up I reckon" st @'4R
"Yss, but suppose it rained all day,
what them" 4fs W
"Well, if we couldn't borrow an um-
brella, I suppose we'd have to get wet. T"
"Oh, pshsw, moi" and she stamped
her foot impatiently. If We had o
chance wouldn't we take IA 'bus!"
"By Jove! that's 30; never thought
of that; ha-ha-ha, of course we'd get in
bus and ride up" She almost ground
her teeth with disappointment and after
few moments hsilence asked: 9&d5
Do you ever take busses, John!"
"Oh, yes" he replied carelessly,
when go to q town, and it's long
distance from the depot to the hotel, I
do"
And then she laid her head ON the
outsr rim Of his car and wept at his
stupidity.

PENSIONERS AND PRESIDENTS. The
New York correspondent of the Troy
Times writes: The proposition to pension
the ex-Presidents recalls the fact that
some of this number were SO poor that
their reduced condition awoke general
sympathy Monroe, for instance, was
during his last ten years threatened with
want. When his poverty became known,
a number Of New York gentlemen pro.
posed that he should be made Postmaster
Of this city. To this proposition the ex-
President made the following touching
reply; "As to my accepting the appoint
ment, it is impossible--not on account of
the grade of the Office, for I have accepted
that of magistrate of this county, but on
account of the consideration that could
only accept it within view to emolu.
ment. If the Nation is willing that an
individual who has served them thus
long, in the Offices which I have held
should be reduced to want land 1 connot
escape that fate by my own eforts), am
willing to meet it rather than accept any
office to prevent it." The exigency of
The ex-President's condition was met in
the manner indicated by the following
paragraph, taken from Niles Register,
November 22d, 1928, just fifty-two years
ago: "A short time ago ex-President
Monroe's family seat at Albemarle was
sold to pay his debts, and being reduced
to state of poverty he will make his
home in New York with one of his
daughters, who is married to Samuel L.
Gouverneur. The latter has been ap-
pointed Postmaster to that city-a deli
cate compliment to the ex-P President.
1t need hardly be added that Monroe
died while still guest with his son-in-
law, on the 4th of July, 1881, being then

Z There was the queerest scene in one OF
the churches last Sunday. 1t seems that
during the vacation that the seats were
newly vanished, and somehow the var.
nish was not right, as it was terribly
sticky. You know when you pull any
thing off Of sticky vsrnish that it cracks.
Well. the audience had all got seated,
when the minister got up to give out tho
hymn, and as the basement of his trousers
let loose Of the varpish of his chair there
was noise like killing fly on the wall
with palm loaf fan. Tho minister
looked around at the choir, to see if it
was all present, and that no guilty mans
pants had escaped, and read the hymn.
The choir rose with sound Of revelry,
and after the tenor had swallowed q
lozsnge and the bass had coughed up
piece Of frog, and the alto had hemmed
and the soprano had shook out her polon-
aise to see if the varnish showed on the
south side, the audience began to rise.
One or two deacons got up first with
sounds like picket firing in the distance
on the eve of battle, and then few moro
got up, and the rattling Of the unyield-
ing varnish sounded as though the fight
was becoming more animated, and then
the whole audience got on its feet at once
with sound of rattling musketry. The
choir sang, Hold the Fort" When the
orchestra had concluded the people sat
down gingerly, the sevices were short,
and all went home praying for the man
that painted the seats. .-lPeck's Sun.

Miss Bird, an English lady, describes
in book on Japan, and especially on the
Amos, how she was ferried across a river
by one Aino, completely covered by
hair, which on his shoulders was wavy
like that of retriever, and rendered
clothing quite needless, either for cover
ing or warmth" and how in another
place she met with second old man,
whom she emphatically describes as ''the
missing link" His face was vacant and
apathetic, his arms were unnaturally
long and thin, he squatted with his knees
tucked into his arm-pits, and his whole
body was covered with black hair, "more
than an inch long," and slightly curly on
the shoulders. He had, however, bare
patch on each side, probably marking the
parts on which he rested when asleep-a
popularity found in the gorilla, who has
bare spot on his back where he leans
against tree.

A Washington telegram says it is
understood that the chief obstacle in the
way of the army retirements favored by
President Hayes is the hostility to the
plan manifested by General Sherman.
He says he does not believe in retiring
men who. although DID," are doing
very well, and they are not so old as staff
officers in Europe. General Sherman is
evidently nothing Of politician. He
seems to think that as long as man can
do his duty and has the recommendation
OF patriotic service, high character, and
ripe experience he ought not to be turned
out of Office. OF course, we politicians
are used to these absurd vagaries of army
and navy men and can teach them a
thing or two. We know that young men
and young mems friends are more active
and useful in the political arena and that
therefore room must be made for them.
