Inaugurating a New Style Of Pants.


Some people never know when to let
well enough alone, They are always
trying experiments. A man in II street
car one day saw thread sticking out
of his pants about an inch long. 1t at
tracted no attention, and would have
been better let alone, but he crossed
his foot over his knee and began to pull
the thread out. 1t came easy, and
he pulled and pulled until he had got
about yard out of it, when he broke
it of. Then his pants began to fall to
pieces. He had pulled out the thread
that had been used to sew up the seam
of the left leg, and when that was gone
the whole leg of his pants spread out
and left his leg whited sepulchrc be-
fore the whole car load of people. But
he did not finch. He put on an air OF
superiority, and conveyed the idea to
the crowd that the pants were be-
ing worn that way this year, and play.
ed it so well that two society ducks, who
do not want to be behind in the fash
ions, actually took out their knives and
began to rip the seam of the left leg OF
their pants. Then the unfortunate man,
who had set the fashion accidentally,
got off the car and tied a handkerchief
around his leg and got home without
freezing. But we maintain that it is
better to let well enough alone.-Bur-

A Romance in Real Life.

A Cleveland paper contains the fol-
lowing romantic story: "A travelling
artist from Cleveland made the acquaint-
ance of the daughter of prominent
lawyer of Chillicothe and formed an
ardent attachment for her, which was
fully reciprocated. When the lover
proposed to the father to address his
daughter he was kicked down flight
of stairs. Attempting to carry his point
by way of the mother, he was treated TO
a dipperful of scalding water. The
daughter was held a prisoner in her
chamber; but managed to get note to
her lover informing him that all COM
munications appearing in the personal
column of Cincinnati paper addressed
to Jeanette and signed jean would
receive attention. Correspondence was
carried on in this way for some time,
when the girl was permitted to make "a
prolonged visit in Cleveland. Meeting
her lover there they were married, and
resided at the groom's fathers for four
months without the marriage being dis
covered. Returning home, the wife,
after time, found herself about to be-
come mother, but had not the courage
to divulge the secret. She gained her
parents consent to 90 to school at Gin
cinnati. Arrived in that city she, in
few days, informed her husband, through
the old channel of the newspaper, that
he was a father, and the happy parent
hurried to her side.

THE YANKEES OF MEXIUO.
About the Wide-Awake People of San
Luis Potosi.

eff you want to see a real live town
on the other side of the Rio Grande,"
said gentleman who makes his home
in San Luis Potosi, ''you must come and
look us over. We are the Yankees of
Mexico. There are eight railways which
will meet soon i'm San Luis, making it
not only railroad, but telegraphic
center We are bound to be the Chi
cago of Mexico, the distributing center
for interior Mexico. We have three
private banks, and branch of the
Mexican National Bank; and paper,
to be printed in English and Spanish, is
projected. The Governor of the State
is alive to business, and is as progress
sive as any man west of the Alleghanies
in this country He has snap to him,
and is on the lookout all the time to bet
ter the condition of his State"
''What chances are there for invest
ment with youp"
Somebody ought to start both a
wooden mill and cotton mill. The Next
can Central is building II branch from
San Luis down into the hot country, the
terra caliente, terminating at the gulf
port of Tampico. Now, all along this
road, the finest cotton in the world can
be grown; l should say is grown now.
Then, there is good supply of wool. y

''It's alive all over. We are build
ing two reservoirs and sinking artesian
wells. Our hotels are large and good
] mean good in the American sense.
Our leading hotel is elegantly furnish
ed, and you can get at the table as fine
wines as the vineyards of France can
produce. There are five lager beer
breweries in the city, and by and by we
shall be the Mexican Milwaukee. Our
people are beginning to take TO lager
Just as the Germans DO. Why, we have
club house in San Luis which is as
elegant as anything of the kind in the
United States. 1t cost an immense sum,
and has every appointment which taste
and luxury could suggest. We are very
far from being barbarians. Our climate
is temperate, and we have always
abundance of fruits of the tropics,
brought up from the hot lands below us.
San Luis offers inducements to men with
some means. There is, of course, not
much to do for poor men just yet, but
when we are joined to the United States
by rail we shall have work enough for
all that will be likely TO come and set

The Great Mopul at Windsor.

The following good story comes from
quarter where we are assumed 'its
correctness can be vouched for" Many
years ago, at the time of great cere-
mony, Windsor castle was honored
with the presence of three sovereigns.
After breakfast the three potentates
walked and talked on the celebrated
"slopes," and were, of course, in
''mufti. They were delighted with the
grounds, and presently entered into con-
versation with a gardener who evident
ly took them for party of gentle
mems gentlemen out for stroll. After
some little affable talk, he could not re-
slst the query: Now, who may
you gents bep'' "Well," said the
spokesman, ''this gentleman here hap
pens to be the king of Prussia; that
one standing by your side is the en-
peror of Austria; and as for myself,
am the emperor of Russia
This was carrying the joke too far,
thought the gardener. "I've seen a lot
of queer furrin gents here lately, but
this beats me-" so he burst outin rath-
err rude guffaw. "Well, my friend"
said the Emperor Nicholas, ''you seem
amused; perhaps you will tell us who
you are. "Oh, certainly" so taking
up the skirt of his coat with the action
of great eagle spreading out his wings,
and spinning round on his heels, he said:
IF you are all what you say you are
why i am the great mogul!' The three
majesties roared with laughter, and, re-
turning to the castle, told the story at
the luncheon-table to the immense
amusement of the queen and Prince
Albert. -LOndon SOcietu.

An Artists Model Who Had Seen Life.

An artist of my acquaintance was
searching for a model in the streets Of
New York. Crossing Union Square he
saw the very type of face he required.
The owner of the face was seated on
one of the benches in an attitude OF
cheerful expectancy. The artist accost-
ed the old man and asked him if he
would pose. He readily consented,
went to the studio at the appointed
time, was employed, gave satisfaction,
and became sort of q retainer ut the
studio. His massive white head and
large white beard met with favor in
aesthetic circles. By degrees, items of
his personal history came to light. He
had been a gold-digger in California in
the early days of the mining excite
ment. He claimed to have experienced
fifteen shipwrecks in the capacity of a
sea-captain. Left an orphan at an
early age, he had been educated by a
physician, and had acquired some
knowledge of medicine. Fate threw
him among the Indians of the far West,
presumably on his way from the gold
diggings, and he became medicine
man. He was learned in natural phil
osophy and possessed meteorological
cabinet and also collection of roots,
each twisted by nature into the shape
of one of the letters of the alphabet.
He painted shells skillfully, and had an
ambition to go around the world in a
canoe. This remarkable person also
wrote poetry and was a Yankee. 1t
needed only a master-brush to make
this same representative Yankee as
classical as a Millet peasant Charlotte

Diamonds Fit for Few Women.

A little pale faced woman in flashing
diamonds is absurd; the silent pearl, the
dull, soft turquoise, the evasive, mys-
terious opal, even the little, Inexpensive
moonstone, the topaz, the amethyst, all
these are ornaments becoming to nine
fv-nine women where the diamond is
becoming to the one hundreth. That a
woman with delicate personal charms
should utterly extinguish them by the
brilliancy of her dress seems like the
blind taste of a savage. For most wo-
men q single jewel, If IL is handsome,
which shall be the keynote of the color
of the dress, is more effective than neck
lace and bracelet and rings. -Newark
