beauty ami the Beast.

A king had n son named Kusa. who
Nns hcroicaIy strong, but who, unfor-
lunately. possessed the is signs of
GglmcfR, aud u face like thu Of lion. "
In order that the youth might not know
how lideous he VAS, he was brought up
without ever having sccn u mirror or
oven the surface OF standing water. And
when he married, hc was ordered never
to show himself to his wife in the day
time, OF by artificial light, lest she
should find that she was welded
to II monster. After time, however.
the curiosity Of the Tibctm Psyche WIS
aroused. One night she Lighted n lamp
and covered il mp with bowl. When
her husband arrived she lifted the bowl,
and then for the first time sho saw that
he had "the eighteen marks of insight
illness and u face like lions jowl," 30
she exclaimed:
"a demon demon |" and fled away
to her fathers house.
Sorrowfully did her deserted husband
seek to recover her. Several times he.
unrecognized, won her heart by his nd.
dress. But whenever she saw his face
she always uttered the same cry and
fled. At last he displayed such heroic
qualities in fighting against her fathers
foes, that the Princess thought:
AS this youth Kusa is excellently
endowed with boldness and courage
why should dislike him ?"
So "she took a liking for him." and
returned to live with him. Ali went
well for time. But at length Kusa
went down to pool one day to battle.
Catching sight of the reflection of his
face in the water, he said to himself
"As | have the Is signs of uncomeliness
and face like lion, and MS on that ac-
count the Princess takes no pleasure in
me, it is needless that such one rs /
should remain alive. l will go and put
myself to DEATH" Thereupon he en-.
tered into copse and was about to hang
himself, when Indra interfcred and pre-. |
,entcd him with a jewel which, when
worn upon his forehead, endowed him
with personal beauty. After which he
ived happily with his admiring wife.

A WICKED JOKE.
How the OIL Exchange Dude was Imposed
Upon.

The members Of the Oil Exchange are
rather swell set OF young men, but the
lead in the matter Of clothes is taken by
ayouth known rs "the dude, whose name
is withheld for the sake Of his relatives.
This dude strolled into the Exchange
during dull hour, says local paper,
and Solomon in all his glory was never
arlayed like one Of him. To begin near
the bottom, his feet 0he dudes, not
Solomon's) were encased in the glossiest
of patent feathers; his trousers fitted
like the paint on lamp-postj his coat
had never crease from tail to top; his
linen was starched until it shone, and his
collar was perfection itself and raised
bis chin 30 that he could only gaze at
the floor at the hazard OF cutting his
throat. But his tO,R ensemble, 30 to
speak, was completed and set OF by the
darlingest silk hat imaginable, with the
broadcast and most curling Of brims and
beautiful bulgent top. Altogether he
was radiantly, dazzlingly beautiful.
the dude stopped near the middle OF
the floor, struck an attitude much af.
fected by garden stautary, and gazed
serenely and puyingly upon his COM
monplace fellow brokers. But horror OF
horrors! A rude man came behind him
and ierked the silken tile from his head,
and the next moment it was thrown to
the floor, had received vicious kick,
and dozen brokers were running af:ei
it. They surrounded it, scuffed for it,
and away it sailed again toward the
ceiling with the entire membership Of
tie Exchange, save only the owner, in
wild pursuit. Round and round the
floor gamboled the merry brokers with
the hat before them. Now il was suffer.
ing in their midst, then it shot over the
floor in desperate efforts to escape, only
to be again overtaken, trampled, kicked
and trodden until it presented an ap.
pearance as il it had been lain down on
by COW and then spent summer IN
der dust-heap, and the gay brokers
were tired out and perspiring.
The dude during this terrible period
stood nghast, and, with horror depicted
in every feature, turned in frozen despair
as the gambols Of his wicked associates
led them TO the four cardinal points of
the rooms compass. But when grin
ming messenger boy brought him the
battered corpse OF his precious dicer he
forced a smile which was only desolate
mockery Of happiness and remarked:
Jaw dawnt care anyway. 1t was an
old hawt."
Then the rude man who had torn the
tile from the unhappy adolescents head
approached and handed him the silken
hat uniniured, and the dude learned that
he had been the victim of wicked joke.
An old hat had been substituted on the
floor, while the joker held The victims
tile behind his back.
And it came to pass that the noise Of
unholy laughter was so great as to jar
the ticker into the tape-basket, and the
dude will wear derby hat Hereafter
while Oh the floor Of the Exchange.
