A Woman Of the Day.

At the Waverley the other day, as it
is reported, man from st. Louis was
introduced to a woman living in New
York, and though he did not remember
her name her face seemed familiar. He
told her SO, and, after more converse
ton, he was more and more confident
that he had met her before He drubbed
his memory for some time, to no pur-
purpose, and finally concluded that it
was an accidental resemblance to some
forgotten friend. When he had said
this she laughed, and remarked "You
are right in your surmises. You have
met me before. l used to be friend
of yours"
He-Indeed? Where have we metz

while. Have you been married again?
He-Yes.

She-Are you a husband nowp
He-No; | am a widower.
She-What pity!
He-It is sad.
She-I don't mean that. I mean that
it is a pity you were deprived of the fun
of getting another divorce. l like it,

He-Not yet. In fact, my last wife
died only month ago. Some respect

A Shock Of Surprise.

A New York letter says: The Egypt

time to catch fragments of the CONVEX

planned to me. The gentleman who ac-
companied us on the tug was the hus-
band of the woman who tainted. Ten
days ago they both embarked to-
gether with their little child on
board the Egypt from Liverpool.
The steamer stopped at Queenstown,
and the gentleman going ashore to
make some purchases was left behind
when the Egypt put to sea again. The
state of his wife's feelings can better be
imagined than described. But his only
fear was for her safety. Like the lost
man in the catacombs, she knew where
he was, what puzzled him was to find
the Others" While debating what he
should do, the City of Rome stopped at
Queenstown and he took passage for
America, arriving several hours before
the Egypt. So it happened that he
quietly came down to meet his wife,
who, supposing him thousands of miles
away, mistook the flesh for the spirit
and tainted.

A few days ago an eminent citizen of
Detroit, or at least one eminent enough
to own a seven dollar umbrella, left the
article in store on Gratiot Street and
some one gObbled it. Eminent citizen
was thoroughly indignant, and he went
to detective to see what could be done.
AS there was no clew to pick up and
follow to success, the detective could
do nothing. All of a sudden bright
thought occurred to the loser, and next
day an advertisement appeared as fol-
lows:
"The man who took that silk umbrel-
la from store on Gratiot Street last
Thursday will save himself trouble by
returning it, as he is known"

his smartness when a man dressed like
laborer and having an umbrella care
fully tied up in paper entered the office
and said

and the man seemed so contrite that he
was handed a half dollar besides. Ii
was full half day before the parcel
was unwrapped for look at the UNI

up row to alarm the whole building.
