A Surprise in Store for the Old Folks.

A dilapidated man walked into a
Pittsburgh shoe store few days ago
and said that he desired to make pur-
chase. His need of new outfit WAS
apparent, but his coarse, soiled and
ragged clothes and general air of decay
forbade the supposition that he would
desire or could pay for fine article.
But he contemptuously rejected the
clerks first offers, and finally accepted
an excellent pair of handmade shoes.
When he had ascertained the price he
drew from bundle of various articles
held together by bandana handker-
chief cigar box, and, quietly opening
it. disclosed to the clerks astonished
gaze about $4,000 in bills and coin.
After some adroit questioning he ex-
planned that he had wandered away
from his fathers farm many years ago
and had drifted around the country
without gathering any moss, until
finally, not long ago, he "struck it
rich - in Western mine and had made
a fortune, of which the contents of the
cigar box were only small part. He
was on his way home to see his parents,
and. in order to make their consterna-
tion and his own amusement complete
he proposed to appear before them In
poverty-stricken guise and not divulge
his real condition until he had enjoyed
their tears and welcome and sympathy.
Then he intended to complete the
melo-drama by "setting it up for the
old folks in gorgeous STYLE" and the
new shoes were for use in The trans
formation scene.-I4ttsbta'ah Posi-

THE five-mile running race at New
York for $500. between William Cum
mings, the English champion, and Will
liam Steele, the champion of America,
proved anything but the interesting
event it was expected to be. Steele was
suffering from such a severe cold that he
could only speak with difficulty and was
in no condition to run, but he decidedto
do 50 rather than disappoint the specta
tors, of whom there were abont five
hundred present. Although Steele kept
close to Cummings for three miles and
quarter, it was simply on sufferance, as
Cummings then moved away from his
man without an effort, and Steele gave
up at three miles and two laps Cum
mings ran on by himself to the end com
pleting the five miles IN 26m. 81 2-5s.

A Very BashfuI Husband.

The following incident In the early
married life of a lawyer of vii
lage in New York state, who Is as
we'll known for excessive baHhfulnees

nature. is told in the Boston Her
aid: SO basbful was he that, after
bringing his ladylike aud accomplished
bride from the northern part OF the
country, instead of Introducing her to
his acquaintance, after the manner Of
proud Young husbands of the ordinary
stamp, he actually almost hid himself
aud her from bis most intimate friends.
To get him to go to church even was a
task that his wife, mother and sisters
found so extremely difficult that they
could only succeed lly declaring that
he was ashamed OF his bride. On one
occasion lecture WAS to be given which
his wife particularly desired to attend.
Our friend. in response to her request
for escort, told his wife that he knew she
wouldn't like the lecture, and for has
part he should enjoy staying at home
with her much better. She persisted,
and he exhausted argument to prove
that she would not find the lecture en-
ioyabIe. At last the true reason OF hel
husbands disinclinatiOn to go out
flashed over the wife's mind, and she
said: "Well, my dear, you can never
convince me that / don't know but we
had better stay at home; If you shoul(
be seen out with me too much at nigh
