Two years ago last winter Jesse

schools, and became quite popular.
At the same time he aroused the envy
Of some one Of the young men of his

Balancing the Books.

At the end of last year, when an
Ohio bank cashier could not make his
books balance, the president sat down
with him and said:
"Mr. Symonds, it is evident that
you have made a clerical error some
where"
''But l have verified my figures
over an over again." protested the
cashier.
"Just so, but you have overlooked
the error. According to your books
this bank is s700.22 short
"Yes, SIR"
"And according to my private
memoranda you are a 500 trotting
horse and $500 diamond pin ahead,
while the rats probably ate up the ~
cents. Please correct the error and
furnish clean balance sheet"
Mr.. symonds isn't bank cashier
any more. His health was so bad
that he had to have outdoor employ

Eugene Field In Denver Tribune.
The possibility Of duel between
two Missouri editors, Maj. John n.
Edwards, of the Sedalia Democrat,
and J. II. Payne, of the Independ-
ence Sentinel, recalls the duel which
occurred in 1875 between Maj. Ed
wards and Major Emory S. Foster.
Edwards was then editor of the st.
Louis Times, and Foster was edito-
rial writer ON the St. Louis Journal.
They fell into newspaper quarrel
over a political paragraph and Ed
wards challenged Foster. They fought
in Winnebago county. Illinois, ex-
changing one fire. neither being
wounded. Then they shook hands
and went back home. DIR. Mumford,
of the Kansas City Times, and cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune,
were the only parties, with the excep-
ton of the seconds, who were present
during the duel.

THE ROBBERS DAUGHTER.

In the shadow of the Monastery Of
Montemarto, near Agram, in Croatia.
there dwelt until Short time ago an
innkeeper named Rubiski, whose lit
tie hostelry enjoyed a good reputa-
ton by reason. of the excellence of its
entertainment for man and beast, and
who was held in additional conse-
quence by reason of the extraordinary
beauty and charming manners of his
adopted daughter, Zelda.
The fact that Zelda's real father
had been, until betrayed to his death
into the hands of the soldiery, the
chief of a powerful and murderous
band of robbers, who were still oc-
casionally ravaging the country un-
der another leadership, by no means
detracted from the young girls pop
ularity. Indeed, in country whose
peasantry was thoroughly saturated
with sympathy for the brigands-
who robbed almost exclusively from
the rich, while not unfrequently be-
friending the poor-it is question
whether this was not regarded as an
additional charm in her favor.
But Zelda was as pious as she was
beautiful. She was a more frequent
visitant to the lonely confessional of
Montemarto than any other girl in the
mountains. The small community
of aged monks residing in the monas-
terry were united in extolling her pie
ty and meekness.
Her duties as waitress in her adopt
ed fathers guest-house, or inn, were
performed with a staidness and re-
serve that we're sufficient to battle ad-
miring glances, and dishearten the
hopes of the many young men who
would gladly have, woed, but who,
nevertheless, constantly frequented
the place, drearily content with gaz-
ing upon her beauty, and now and
then perhaps receiving gentle and
distracted smile in return for Their
humbly pleading looks or attempts al
compliments. -
ALI united in the impression that
there was mystery about Zelda. Il
was not alone that her reserve was in
such odd keeping with her beauty
and youth-she was only seventeen
and that she seemed to care nothing
for the batteries which are mostly sc
sweet to the untutored vanity Of
young girls. No; such inconsis.
tency might readily have been par
doned, and doubtless was more thar
forgiven by her female companions.
to whom she would otherwise have
been such a powerful rival. The
mystery lay chiefly in the fact that
while she served Rubiski faithfully
she also. hated him profoundly. i

OSCAR WILDE.


We went down to the overland train
Thursday evening, to see the great
esthete. We picked him out without
any trouble, and tackled him for a
quiet little talk all by ourselves.
MI. Wilde is very tail, with face
like a broad *. We told him that
our name was Nye, the great Wyom-
ing @sthete. He smiled like the roll
ing min and shook hands.
+ He wore soft hat and a kind Of
steel-colored velvet sack coat. He
also wore his hands in his pockets
clear up to the elbow joint. He wears
a kind of Byron collar, and a necktie
the color Of a diseased liver. His
pants were Of gray material, and
held in place with pale pink gum sus-
penders. These were shown as he
stopped over, his coat being cut just
below the shoulder blades. His
shoulder blades are high and INTEL
lectual.
He wears his hair long, with hay
and little mementoes from the sleep
ing car in it. His face is thin, and
when buried in piece Of pie must
be CHASTITY sight.
Mr.. Wilde's teeth are evidently his
own. Nobody could make teeth like
them and escape the Vigilance Com
mittee. They are broad and promi-
nent, with tendency to 60 out and
look for air. He does not seem
strong, but his breath proves this
statement to be erroneous. Mr..
Wilde wore a silk handkerchief the
color of the Illustrations found in the
public documents describing the cat
tie plague.
He spoke of various topics with a
seductive drawl, wiggling his timber,
angle-worm legs as he spoke, and
posing like a giraffe with the collie,
for the benefit of the ladies who stood
near. He wipes his nose in languid,
yet soulful way, that makes you wish
he would do so again.
We asked him when he would re-
turn to England and he tossed his
name in the air and said:
"Ah! I don't know whether 1 shall
survive or not"
"You got a good deal of free ad-
vertising I see,'' said the Boomerang
man, gnawing a little fragment from
an irregular piece. of navy and
thoughtlessly stepping on the patent
leather shoe Of the great asthete.
"Oh yes" said Oc. as he straight
ened up and extended his neck up
through his collar till you could see
the scolloped edge of his chemise.
eyes, sir. Most too much of it.
Still, it pays moderately well, he, he,
he. However, it is absolutely stupid
of them to make such beastly and
peculiar little jokes upon me, ye
know"
We had good deal more confiden-
tial talk with him before the train left,
which we may give to the public after
awhile, but at present space forbids.
| Mr.. Wilde's complexion is very
tpallid, with here and there a little
pimple that relieves the monotony
some. He wears no beard or NOUS
tache at all, but makes up for. that
with a large growth of hair on his
head, which falls in graceful festoons
over his shoulders like horses tail
over an olive green dashboard. He
is just as full of soul as he can be
and walks, and breathes, and exists
like two-year-old steer in cabbagt
grove. He smiles nearly every little
while like a colicky baby in its sleep
and sighs and places himself in stat
uesque positions, as though something
had given away in his apparel and HI
was trying to keep his ETHEREAL panta
looms on till people looked the othel
way.

Advice to Boys.

There, Bub, quit kicking the table
leg, brush back your hair, and take
that seat by the window while give
you little advice. You wish to be-
come famous and be known as Billy
the Terror of Kenosha, or The BOY
Avenger. Now this is not practical
bic outside of books. To be sure you
have read of boys becoming blood
thirsty villains, in velvet pants and
top boots, in mary ious short time,
but as rule the boys who start out
to duplicate those yellow covered fel-
lows, bring up in some isolated jail,
and instead of velvet pants they are
adorned in real life with ragged over
alls with the vitals worn out sitting
around in lonely places waiting for
the beautiful maiden to come and fall
in love with them as they do in the
book. But have found a way for
you to crafty your long-cherished
desires. l want you to arm yourself
with double-edged grammar and a
self-cocking arithmetic and skulk
down to the school-house Monday
bright and early. When school calls
conceal yourself behind your book,
and whenever you see an opportunity
jump onto a difficult problem and
probe it through and through. After
you have to all appearances, mastered
it, turn it upside down and make it
prove itself. By the time you have
followed it up couple of months you
will begin to receive some of the no.
toriety you crave and will be looked
upon as The STARTER, or Boy Mathe-
matician. By the end of the term
you will be pointed out to admiring
spectators as the The Double Entry
Wonder of the Seventh Ward school.
You think now that this will satisfy
you, but it will not. On the contrary
it will only spur you on to attempt
still more difficult achievements. An
uncomfortable desire to graduate will
take possession of you, and before
you realize it, you will be standing
before hall full of people, with
valedictory in one hand and cold
sweat in the other, trying to carry off
the honors of commencement day.
Thus you will go on step by step,
until your friends would hardly rec
ognize the little Willie Brown of to-
day in the Red Headed Professor of
Pougbkeepsie, who will be teaching a
dead language with one hand while he
pulls an astronomical constellation to
pieces with the other, twenty years
from now. Of course you will live
longer than you would if you had be-
come famous as the dashing highway
man of Oconomowoc, but you will
die in good time, full of years and
gout, and the great dailies wiz devote
half a column under some gilt edge
tonic advertisement to your obituary
notice, and some enterprising cigar
manufacturer will name a brand of
cigars after you, and you will be
mourned as the Bald Headed Philos-
pher of the 18th century. There,
that is all this time. Now run out
and tie this can to the tail of that
liver colored dog that we shut up in
the smoke-house this morning, and
turn him down this street by the sit
ting-room window, while l get on my
specs and see if it affects a dog the
same as it did fifty years ago.-[Geo.
