YOUNG I'm FAR.

An exchange says the notoriety which
is being accorded to the Fair divorce case
calls to mind true story about young
Jim Fair, the boy who is said to have
shot at his pa, the senator, Young Jim
was about twenty years old when he went
to Washington in the winter of 1882. He
had been travelling all over Europe, was
well educated, and naturally had an am
bition to be regarded as a man. He was
treated as such by the Washington society
in which he moved, much to the disgust
of his mother, who seemed anxious to
keep him in leadieg strings as closely as
if be were child. One evening young
Fair was sitting in one of the parlors of
the Arlington hotel conversing with
several ladies and making himself general
ly agreeable, All at once Mrs. Fairs
maid appeared on the scene Jimmie, ,"
said she, your ma wants you to come
for You to go to bed" The young man
was terribly embrassed, but he found
breath to say, Very we'll, tell mother
I'll be up stairs in a few moments The
maid went away and Jim tried to appear
composed and at ease, but in about five
minutes she returned and repeated the
same message from Mrs Fair. 1t was
equally undressing to Jim and the young
ladies with whom he was talking, but he
returned the same answer he had pre-
viously sent that he would join his
mother in few moments. The maid
didn't come back again. Mrs. Fair herself
was the next individual to make an APP
pearance She came to the foot of the
stairs, and, leaning her arm on the
balustrade, she bawled ont: Jimmie
Fair, I've sent for you twice and you're
old enough to know that when / send for
you you must come. IT'S nine O'Clock,
and time for you to be abed." There
was but one thing for the young man to
do-to make his adieux hastily and rush
out of the parlor upstairs to his room,
