A COLD DAY.
One evening when Lucy's Papa had
come home from the Office and eaten his
Supper, he went into the Parlor and
Planted Himself on the Sofa. After he
had been there a Little While he noticed
that Lucy did not come in and Make a
Break at the piano, as was her custom.
This puzzled the Old Gentleman greatly,
but he was very Happy, because the
parents of girls who play the piano usu-
ally feel like taking an Ak to that instru-
ment. But pretty soon Lucy entered the
Room and began telling her Papa how
much she loved him, and how Dark and
Cheerless her life would be in case he
should be Called Above.
This sort of talk made her Papa feel
rather solemn, for he had been to the
races a gool deal and would occasionally
go Out With the Boys, and when a man
gets on the Shady Side OF fifty he doesn't
particularly care to have people lug the
''Sweet By and By into their CONVERSE
ton. But pretty soon Lucy placed her
Hand ON her Papa's brow
and began to smooth his hair, saying
how glad it would make her if she could
only smooth the Burrows of Care that
time had placed there. Then she art
fully Shifted the Subject, and spoke of
how cold the weather was getting and
what lovely Sealskin Sacques she had
seen in the store windows down town
that afternoon.
Then her Papa saw what she was up
to, and Dropped On Himself. So, by
the time Lucy got around to that part OF
her talk where she put her arms around
his neck and kissed him, and asked him
to buy her a sealskin, he had neatly Ar
ranged His Lie. He told her of how
poor the crops had been, and that Trade
was in very dull state because of the un-
as to what office Ben Butler
would want next, and Sung such Song
that Lucy began to think she was lucky
to have place to sleep in and pair of
Heavy Shoes for the winter.
''No, my child" he said, 81 cannot
think of spending Three Hundred Dol
lars for Sealskin Sacque when times are
so Hard" And Lucy said she was sorry
she had mentioned the Subject, and went
away feeling quite sorry for her Papa.
Soon after she had left the room her

you were talking about" he said to his
Papa.
"Did you ?" asked the Old Gentleman.
GO How fast can he go?"
"Two-thirty," replied the Big Brother,
GO and 81 900 will buy him. p"
Rising quickly from the sofa, Lucy's
Papa wrote a check aud handed it to his
Son. go and close the Trade tonight,
he said, "and tomorrow afternoon [ will
make some of these people who think
they own Trotters look like Hired Men.
SO you see, children, that some Papas
think more of beating Two-Forty than
they do of making an Only Daughter

THE JOKE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Among many amusing anecdotes of the
Russian Imperial family is told the
story of the eccentric Grand
Duke Constantine He, while at Warsaw,
gave splendid banquet to number OF
the great Polish mobiles, to each of whom,
at the conclusion of the feast, an ordinary
tallow candle was served on plate by
the attendant lacqueys. AS soon as all
his guests were supplied, the grand duke,
who had given orders that an imitation
candle, admirably executed in pastry,
should be placed upon his plate, rose
from his seat, and exclaimed, Gentle
men, let us eat to the honor of Russia,
the favorite national comestible of my
country. Look at me. This is the way
to do it." So saying, he threw back his
head, opened his mouth wide, and in
serted therein two or three inches of the
dainty in question. As he closed his
teeth, however, the expression of his
suffered an extraordinary
change. One of the noblemen, sitting in
his immediate vicinity, had contrived to
substitute his own genuine tallow candle
for the pastry imitation set before the
