Re Had His Choice.

"Walter," said one of our pork
merchants to his 16-year old hope,
II don't mind how short you have
your coats cut so long as they strike
you Somewhere below the shoulder
blades; neither does it trouble me to
see you choking yourself to death in
pair of tight pants. Nor am l
much concerned in how many scarf
pins you sport each day, or how large
bundle you carry to the laundry
every twenty.four hours. Though
the sight OF your mustache, in its
feeble efforts for life, makes me
faint, yet l can bear up even under
that, but let me ever catch you
wearing your watch chain on the
outside of your coat, and you'll 60

ceries bfoere you can say "quite too

Couldn't Stay to the
Hanging

"What's all this crowd aroun for?"
asked Mr.. McIver, of Texas, the
other morning when the captain of
the regulators caught up with him.
They've come to see the hang
ing" said the captain-''man going
to be banged in a minute; better
wait ana see it,"
"'Fraid / won't have time,n said
Mr.. McIver, walking sideways, and
keeping his hands down. SCOT a
horse out here in the brush / want
to look after; 'fraid she's got spav-
in comm"
"That's it, "the captain said, slit
tie sorrel marewith a blaze face and
two white feet-my mare and you're
the man. Guess you had better stay
to the hanging"
Cant" said Mr.. McIver. I've
got to go to the shootin'.n
SO saying he got his hand on his
gun, filled couple of regulators full
of holes, and with the sardonic
laugh of a man who was disappoint-
ed because he couldn't stay to "the
the hangin'," he disappeared in the
brush to look after that SPAWN.

One of the great manufacturing
interests of Boston.is the Emerson

used with high appreciation and
satisfaction throughout the world.
In recent conversation with Mr..
Jos Gratner, one of the proprie-
tors, that gentleman remarked: /

Now / consider that baby's cloak
which you coaxed him into getting
for Eddie quite an unnecessary ex-
travagance.
Mrs. Falconer knew better than
to pout at her mother, so she resolv-
ed not to ask her husband for any
thing in her presence again, but no
sooner was Mrs. Townsend gone
than the old practice was renewed
again.
"Oh, Edward" she said to him
one day, "the charity ball comes off
next Wednesd ~, and l have been
made one of the lady patronesses.
| must have pretty dress for the
occasion"
"Order what you will, he said
laconically.
The evening of the ball Lou was
disappointed that her husband did
not come home in time to see her
dressed, but she could not keep the
party waiting and therefore went off
without seeing him.
Half an hour later Falconer came
home. He enquired of the house
girl if her mistress was gone out land
sleepy as the girl was she was start
led, as she afterwards averred by the
''look of his face as he dismissed
her.
He went to his own room were lit
tie Eddie lay asleep, but turned alb
ruptly from the peaceful picture.
The heavy ice of dispair lay on his
heart. Falconer q Frost had failed
and he was defaulter to the amount
of more thousands than he could ev-
er hope to repay. lie passed to the
dressing room, turned the key on the
inside, and ten minutes later the
neighbors heard the report of a pis-
tol. They forced the door open and
found that the name of bankrupt
and swindler, which had been APP
piled to him as soon as the failure
was made public, he had added that
of suicide.
They were fearful tidings that
reached his wife's ear in the midst
of the festivities, and hurried her
home, and vainly might she, in the
frantic accents call on that lifeless
form only "to speak to her ono
more," and she would be content to
"live on dry crusts in howell for the
remainder of her days"
Then she called herself shis MUIR
deress," and wringing her hand I'M
ceasingly cried: ''just too far, too
far ~

A Modest Request.

Darling, wake up aud stop snor-
ing,' said a Detroit woman to her
husband.
"Ah? Whazza matter now 20 he
asked as he half raised up in bed.
won't you please stop snoring I?
If you only knew how homesick it
made me I'm sure you would"
"IIomesick How the deuce can
my innocent snore make you home
sick p"
"Why, you know, darling, that
the home on the coast from which
yen took me a joyous bride, was only
half a mile from a government fog
horn, and every time you snore it
reminds me so of home that / just
can't stand it. Please lay on your
side and have some little respect for
