A Ruse That Was a Failure.

A good joke was played upon a GER
Sain handsome young gentleman of this
town recently. He was dining in a res
taurant and saw at another table a
couple ofyoung, pretty and well-known
actresses. He wanted to send them
glasses of the champagne he was drink
ing but hesitated about doing it, as he
was afraid several society ladies of his
acquaintance, who were dining there
also, might observe the transaction.
Finally he evolved plan. He directed
his waiter to take the bottle out of the
room and give it to the actresses waiter
TO take to them and pour couple of
glasses of wine. The waiter went about
the GRAND and the wine reached the two
actresses all right. But after couple
of glasses had been poured their block
head of waiter put the bottle in the
cooler, and instead of taking it out of
Ghe room before returning it to the gen
tleman, brought it directly across the
dining room and put it down beside the
embarrassed gallant, while q percepti-

One of the Prevalent Diseases.

In The Lancet and Clinic DIR. Tenner
defines the now so prevalent disease
commonly termed general paralysis as

intelligence, and which modern expert
mental investigations assume to CON

writer, consists of changes in the mem

marked in the interior-as well as
changes in the cortex and subcortlcal

A SMindled Saint.

The Tribune has heard of a misfor-
tune which has befallen one of the Sew
enties which is most pathetic. The
story runs that in trying to live I'M 10
his privileges he besought discrrimi-
mating lady to accept fraction of his
heart and home. He bears q name
which is much noted in Zion; he holds
high position in both the church and
the State, and hence he pursued his
wooing with assurance and confidence.
After going through the reasonable
stages of coyness, maidenly reserve
and timidity; after asking a reasonable
number of times if he was certain his
love was grounded in bedrock deep
enough to stand solid through all the
mutations of this trying old world, the
lady at last Internationally surren-
dered; assured him that his fascina-
tons were simply irresistible against
all the strength which her susceptible
heart could muster to resist, but that
marriage, even in Utah, was a serious
business; that second or third wife.
even protected by their holy church,
labored under disadvantages; that he
must admit that the law of Utah was
little severe on married saintesses:
that common prudence dictated that
before undertaking all the responsible
ties which even fractional marriage
involves, she should have her home at
least secure. Then, in winsome tones,
meanwhile looking her loveliest, she
described house and lot which Just
exactly filled the measure of her eve,
and told him that the day he brought
her the recorded deed of that property
she would become his vulgar fraction
of wife. Then her arms stole round
his neck, and between kisses she eX-
planned that there was not one mer-
cenary thought in her heart; she was
but doing what was best for him and
her alike.
He did not like the arrangements any
too well, but he thought of his old care
worn wife at home and her brood of
noisy children; and then of the fresh
young enchantress by his side, and he
began to say to himself: "Why should
q paltry house and lot come between
me and elysium?" So few days later
he carried to the sorceress the recorded

claimed the fulfillment of her promise.
Smiling divinely she opened the paper
and glanced rapidly through it. twas

way that made his heart thump, she
said; II am entirely ready to fulfill
my promise, to-day, tomorrow, any
time, only have something more to
promise you; if you insist on marrying
me to-day, will land you in the peni-
Tertiary tomorrow" He went away,
and the words upon his lips were not
those of prayer. He wonders now
which he hates the most, that woman or
the Government of the United States,
and the problem which haunts his brain
as his old wife slumbers peacefully by
his side is how he will ever get even on

Il LITTLE GIRLS STORY


I'm going to tell you story .. ..
It's nice, | know you'll say;
Not an old tale
Worn out and stale
made it myself to-day. .'
There was once bee-yoo-tiful Princess
Oh, ever SO long ago!
When fairies and Kings
And all such things
Were common enough, you know.
And oh, she was awfully lovely!
With eyes as blue as the sky;
Slender and fair,
With long, light hair,
And about as big us /.
Butch, she was awful unhappy
And If ever She smiled at all,
Twas once in awhile,
A weak little smile,
When she played with her Paris doll
For she had such terrible teachersl
And lessons she could not bear;
And she hated to sew,
And she hated-Oh,
She hated to comb her hair!
Well, one day, she wandered sadly
In dark and dismal dell;
When, do you know
She stubbed her toe,
And tumbled into WE'LL
The well was wet and Shiny,
And dark and muddy and deep,
But the frogs below
They pitied her so,
They scraped the mud in q heap,
And then they dubbed together,
And u toad-Stool tall they made;
And safe on that
The Princess sat,
And waited for mortal aid.
And she, to keep from crying,
And her anxious fears disable,
Repeated fast,
From first to last,
Her multiplication-table.
And all the songs and verses
She had ever learned to say,
Books she had read,
Pieces she'd said,
And the lessons of yesterday.
Now, Prince there came a-riding,
In the forest thereabout;
When he saw the fair
Maid sitting there,
OF course, he helped her out.
And, of course, they rode together,
Till they reached the palace gate,
Where they alighted,
Their tale rected,
And the wedding was held in state.

A Story About De Chambord.

The Comte de Chambord was always
noted for his amiability and kindness of
heart, and was never embittered by the
changed prospects of his life. At six
years of age he was the little Due de
Bordeaux, grandson of Charles X, and
the hopes and expectations of France
were fixed upon him. Like many other
robust and easy-tempered children, he
considered lessons terrible hardship
and particularly disliked writing. His
copy-books were blotted and scrawled
over dreadfully, to his grandfather's
great displeasure and the despair of the
unfortunate tutor whose task it was to
teach him caligraphy. But the child
was so merry, asked pardon in such en-
gazing tones, and made such good
resolutions for future copies that the
writing-master could not look grave for
long together, and perhaps his royal
pupil took advantage of him. One
morning, however, the childs playful
ness failed to rouse him from a settled
melancholy; there were even tears in
the old mans eyes, and, though
the little Due de Bordeaux asked
over and over again what allied
him, he could obtain no answer.
After lessons, however, a servant told
the boy that his tutor was responsible
for a debt of one thousand francs in
CURED by his son, and saw no means of
obtaining the money. When the royal
family were assembled at the noon-day
breakfast, the little Due said in his
most coaxing tone: Grandfather, if |
write very well for a whole week, will
you give me something's" Eyes. :"
"Will you give me fifty LOUISE" That
is great deal of money!" said the
King "What will you do with it?"
That is my secret, replied the child;
whereupon Charles X. smiled and
promised. The next morning the boy
sat with his copy-book at window
overlooking the Tuileries. The birds
sang, the tame pigeons came and
perched on the window-sill, merry chill
'dren played under the trees; but for
once he neither heard nor saw any of
them, and actually accomplished q
whole copy without mistake or blot.
The tutor was astonished, and his
amazement increased when his pupils
careful industry continued for a week.
No sooner was the last page finished
than he took his copy-book to his
grandfather and in few minutes re-
turned, carrying in both hands a bao.
containing the fifty louis. His BRIGHT
face was suifused with bushes as no
gave it into the tutors hands, savino.
Here are my wages. Please accept
