Mr. Fosters Adventure.

Charles Foster is an employee Of the
Erie Railway and lives in Jersey City.
He has a friend, John Lynch, who more
than occasionally gets on spree, which
sometimes results in an attack of de-
lirium tremens. Foster tells this story
Of one of these recent attacks =
Mrs. Foster and the children are spend
ing the summer in thecountry and Foster
lodges at a hotel on Pavonia avenue.
On Wednesday night he was awakened
from sleep to find Lynch in his room,
evidently very drunk. He was awakened
by being pulled from his bed to the floor,
and Lynch was standing ever him.
Lynch, he says, cried as he opened his
eyes, "Say your prayers am going to
kill you"
Foster says he thought Lynch was
joking, but the latter again angrily ex.
claimed ;-"Say your prayers and pre-
pare for death p F, ster, alarmed,
dropped on his knees and clasped his
hands as in prayer. He says that other
wise he feels sure that Lynch would have
killed him, although he does not mem
ton that Lynch exhibited a weapon. In
spite of his fright Foster says that a
happy thought struck him. Lynch was
approaching him threateningly when he
said Jockey, it's too bad; can't say
my prayers. I've forgot them I" To
his surprise Lynch reioined -"Forgot
your prayers 1t would be a shame to
kill a man who can't say his prayers.
Foster remembers that Lynch then
upbraided him for neglecting to prepare
for the future, and left, after warni g
him to be ready at another time.
Lynch was arrested for drunkenness
few hours later, and when taken to a cell
exhibited symptoms of acute mania. He
was finally quieted.

A Coach Load of skeletons.

A special dispatch to the Galveston
CTexas) NelOs form Lampasas, Texas
says:
ga carriage, containing the skeletons
of three adults and two children, sitting
bold upright, as if in life, under a large
tree, las been found near a road in
Llano county. The tree was shattered
by lightning. It is supposed the car
rage sought shelter under the tree and
was struck, the bolt killing the inmates
and the horses. The weather beaten ap-
pearanee of the carriage and its trim
minos indicates that the event happened
a year or two ago. Ia small trunk was
a letter addressed to james G. Cham
berlain, London, England. The re-
mains were found by a ranchman driv-
ing cattle, and the discovery was re-
ported at once to the authorities. The
parties are supposed to have been tour
lists. The spot where they were found
is very secluded and far from every hab-
itation.

An OLDEN TALE.
starved-starved-starved

Starved d-starved-starved
Yet queen Of the feast was she,
And a liveried servants ebony hands
Proffered the fruits Of tropical lands
To her on bended knee;
Yet horrible hunger night and day
Was gnawing her life and her strength away
Dying-Dying of thirst
Tho at her lightest will
The costliest wines like water flowed.
Foamed in the crystal and cleaned an,
glowed,
But left her thirstier still
And she felt that the fruit and the wine wer
curst,
For she starved with hunger and choled witt
thirst.
Many a suitor wooed
For she was passing fair;
Fortunes were proffered and Jewels brought.
And challenges given. and duels fought;
But what did my lady care;
For she wasted herlove, and she gave her heart
To one who haughtily stood apart.
She thirsted for one fond look
She starved for kiss denied:
But he cared no more for her smile or blush
Than the glacier cares for the red-rose bush;
And she pined away and died.
And true hearts mourned her many year,
While the man she died for shed not tear,
Tis ever the way Of the foolish fair
To die for the one who does not care.

Can't Drown.

A good swimmer can't drown himself
on purpose. He may think he can, and
90 to try but the man doesn't live who
can help swimming if he is able Just as
soon as he begins to choke. Such Is the
opinion of an old sailor, who adds:
ssHow many times we hear OF folks
changing their minds after they get I'M
der water. aud of course there's lots that
never let on what they meant to do.

Skeletsa Of q Giant.

Kiss at Auction.

A remarkable kissing transaction oc-.
cured not long since In Austria. In this
instance kiss was actually put up for
sale at auction and publicly bestowed up
ON the highest bidder. The occasion was
q charity fete got up in the little town OF
Torantal in behalf Of the poor OF Agram.
Business was not brisk. The public who
filed the hall were not in generous
mood and the organizers Of the fete were
disheartened.. At this juncture one Of
the lady patronesses, remarkably beau
tiful woman, had what she thought
happy inspiration. She took her hus
band aside, conferred with him q few
minutes, and then offered kiss 70 tn
highest bidder, the sum paid for 1T to b
/ added to the receipts Of the fete. Tn
