obliged to do your own h~ousework.'
"But there is nothing so terrible about

Very Embarrassing Indeed!

The man who was sent out by the
Northern Pacific company to measure
station agents for their pew uniforms,
is feeling real bad over a mean Trick
played him by the sinful Barnes, who
failed to post him as to the sex OF agents.
He was started from st. Paul, and as be
passed over the road telegraphed the va
rious agents to be on the platform so he
could get their dimensions, length OF
limbs, etc., during the usual stoppage OF
the train. At Jamestown he sent the
following dispatch:
agent. Cleveland: Take off every
thing but your shirt and pants and be
on platform when train arrives, to be
measured for uniform.
The dispatch was duly transmitted,
and when the train reached Cleveland,
the tailor sprang off, tape line in hand,
and yelled for the agent. In responce
to his call, a very handsome young lady
stepped forward and informed him that
she had the honor to fill that important
position. She begged leave to acknoWl-
edge the receipt of his dispatch, and
coyly told him that although she had
cast her lines in the rough and uncouth
west, where the goddess Of fashion was
a pilgrim and a stranger, her Ideas OF
propriety would not harmonic with
such a costume as he suggested. She
might take cold, and feared that such a
unique style of dress might attract I'M
due attention and shock the tender sens
Utilities of the train boys. She didn't
believe such q uniform as the company
proposed to stretch Over the forms OF It's
agents would suit her style OF beauty
anyhow, and very politely asked to be
excused from undergoing the ordeal Of
measurement. The tailor felt as uncom-
Portable as he would have felt had he
accidently sat down on a hot goose. He
stammered out something about being
misinformed, and told the young lady
to calm herself, as he would't measure
her for ten million dollars in cash. He
then shot into the car and craWled VI
on top of the wood box and gave thu
train boy a dollar to hold a chunk OF ICE
to his head until it reduced his temper
allure to a normal condition. When nj

BALTIMORE, March 5.-Colonel R. NJ.
Johnston, now OF Baltimore county, for
merly a law partner Of the late Judge Lin
ton Stephens, and at whose residence, near
Waverly, Alexander Stephens was fire.
quent visitor, was called upon yesterday by
a reporter. Colonel Johnston, as Is well
known, in conjunction with William Hand
Browne, librarian OF the Johns Hopkins
University, in 1878 published biography
OF Mr.. Stephens. The two Colonel John
ston and Governor Stephens) were for
many years warm, personal friends, and 1t
is doubtful II any two persons were ever
more endeared to each other. Colonel
Johnston had but short time previous
learned Of Mr.. Stephens death, and was
yisibly affected by the intelligence. In 70.
ply to an inquiry, he stated that, in his opin-
ion, there never existed man ofsuch ster-
ling characteristics, which were seemingly,
at times, 80 contradictory. Born an invalid,

be without pain from the date
OF his birth to that Of his
death, he was quick.tempered and irritable
under assault and combative in attack, but
pre.eminently forgiving, Ready at any
and all hours to devote his time and means
to anyone, however humble, who chose to
ask such favor, and never refusing an ap.
peal even from one who had, quite likely, a
short time previous abused him and his
confidence, he was beloved by all. Re-
membering his own youth, he was assidu.

neighborhood to obtain an education, and
he had probably 80 assisted in educating

at the death of relative or friend, would
weep as child. The death Of his brother
Linton told heavily upon him, and, said
Col. johnson, ITO il attribute his remain

the one other great secret OF his life-his

continued the Colonel, "of his wish to re-
tire some three years since, for the reason,
as he remarked to me, that he wanted
some little rest before he died."

senator Tabor Married to Miss McCourt
- a Last september. lsT
ST. LOUIS, March 5.-A secret which will
no doubt cause much surprise, not only to
those concerned but to society generally,
has just been revealed here. It Is that
Senator Tabor, OF Colorado, and Miss Eliz.
abeth McCourt, OF Oshkosh, Wis, were
privately married here on the S0th OF last
September. The ceremony took place in
the law Office Of Colonel D. P. Dyer, who is
an intimate friend OF the Senator. It was
performed by John NJ. Young, justice OF
the peace, and witnessed by the brother Of
Miss McUourt, who accompanied her to St.
Louis for the purpose. 1t is stated on au.
thority OF Colonel Dyer that the ceremony
was kept secret because at that time,
although Mr.. Tabor had been granted
decree OF divorce from his first wife, she
had suit against him for alimony, and i
was feared that the announcement OF this
marriage during the pending OF that suit
might complicate matters. Mr.. Tabor's
visit here was ostensibly to attend to some
law business, but it Is pretty clear that the
matter was prearranged and for the sole
purpose Of being married. He returned at
once to Denver, while his wife went back
10 her home in Oshkosh. Why the mar.
riage should have taken place when 1t did,
or why there should have been second
ceremony at Washington last week, unless
1t was 10 satisfy the parents Of Mrs. Tabor,
who are Catholics, Colonel Dyer does not
pretend to know.
