Billy McGlory:

Billy McGlory, says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle, is looming up as the
coming man in New York. Humorous
accounts of his dinners at the Hotel
Brunswick, his receptions at the Cont
mental Hotel in Philadelphia and his
horse races here, are frequently in the
New York papers, and he gets columns
of free advertising for his disreputable
den in Hester street. McGlory is the
mildest sort Of a looking man. | have
seen his bank books, and they show $50,
900 in hard money thathe has laid away
in three years. Besides this he owns
several buildings, some fast horses, and
does a rushing business at Armory hall.
His place is a dance house for the lower
classes down town, and is ou~trageously
low. He told me that four days after
his escapade at the Brunswick he took
in So, 500 more than he did the four days
preceding the event. McGlory has re-
Gently distinguished himself by saving
a young woman's life. He risked ais
own life in saving her, and certainly
deserves credit for his bravery. The
chances are that he will be alderman
assemblyman or senator, andthen return
to ginmill keeping again. This is the
usual course OF successful men OF his
stamp in New York.

What Men Need Wives For.

It is not to sweep the house and make
the beds and darn the socks and cook
the meals chiefly, that man wants a
wife. If this is ali he wants, hired SER
wants can do it cheaper than a wife.
If this is all, when a young man calls to
see a lady, send him into the pantry to
taste the bread and cakes shs has made;
send him to inspect the needlework and
bed-making; or put a broom into her
hands and send him to witness its use.
Such things are important, and the wise
Young man will quietly look afterthem.
But what the true man wants OF a VIE
is her companionship, sympathy n
owe. The way Of life has many dreary
,laces in it, and man needs a companion
O 90 with him. A MAI IS sometimes
avertaken bymisfortunes; he meets with
allure and defeat; trials and temptations
,eset him, and he needs to stand by
i'm and sympathize. He has some
tern battles to fight with poverty, with
eiimies and with sin, and he needs a
yoman that, while he puts his arm
aound her and feels that he has M
ting to fight for, will help him fight;
Who will put her lips to his ear M
whisper words of counsel, and her hand
tt his heart and impart new inspira-
tins. All through life-through storm
and through sunshine, conflict and VIC
toy; through adverse and favorable
wnds-man needs a woman's love.

Timing Kisses.

At a Chicago railroad station, on the
arrival of a train, thirteen kisses were
measured as to duration from the in
slant of contact to that of elimination.
Two of these were so instantaneous that
the observers noted them at q hundredth
part Of a second, and four more Were
rather guessed than actually timed at a
fftieth. All these were between women.
The next group Of five kisses were re-
corded at q twentieth. The couples were
divided as to sex, but were made up of
persons whose ties were presumably
those of consanguinity. Then came
full half-minute kiss-that OF a little
girl and a man, who was doubtless her
father. The longest of the thirteen was
over a minute, according to the time
keeper, but the record was questioned,
on the ground thatthere was a succession
of kisses instead of a continuous con-
junction of the lips. This couple was
composed either of young married folks
or of sweethearts who felt sure b atthey
were among total strangers. There
was no hurry or reserve about their
greeting.

The Beaten Beaten.

A farmer came into agrocery store the
other day and exhibited to the eyes
of an admiring crowd an enormous egg,
about six inches long, which he avowed
to have been laid by one of his own
hens. He had it packed in cotton, and
wouldn't allow any one to handle it for
fear of breaking the phenomenon. The
groceryman examined it with the rest,
and, intending to chaff the countryman,
said:
"Pshaw. I've got something in the
egg line that will beat that"
"I'll bet you S. you haven't said the
.couRtryman, getting excited.
II take it up,'7 replied the grocery
man, and going behind the counter he
brought out a wire egg beater. There
is something in the egg line that will
beat it, / guess said he, reaching out
for the stakes.
Hold on there" said the farmer;
let's see you beat it," and he handed it
to the grocer. The latter held out his
hand for it, but dropped it in surprise
on the counter, where it broke two
soup plates and a platter. 1t was Of sol
id iron, painted white.
"Some folks think they're darnation
cute,' murmured the farmer as he peck
eted the stakes and lit out. "But faint
no use buckin' against solid facts"

How He Expects to Get his Money Back


Connecticut man has a novel plan
fora public exhibition. 1t was he whose
robbery, several months ago in Hester
street GROCERY, led to a well-remember-
ed tragedy. He entered the worst drink
ing place in the whole street. ShreWd
Yankee though he was, he foelishiy
laid down q $40 bill in payment for a
five-cent drink. His expectation of get
ting the change was not realized. The
bartender first laughed at him, and then
swore. the gang Of men and women
gibed and threatened, and he felt glad
to get out with his life. He appealed to
the police, and roundsman Delaney re-
turned; with him and a warrant. A
drunken slugger, who was in the place
doing off the effects of a nights de-
bauch. fired upon the officer, woundingg
him seriously, and was himself shot
dead. That event made the saloon IN
famous, and consequently it would have
become prosperous, had not the police
obdurately closed the establishment

CHOLLY'S DEAR FRIEND.
The Horse Reporter Bends His Mind to
the Settlement of an Important
Question:.

"Society editor in?n
A rather thin young man, with very
tight pants, high collar and a round
cloth cap, opened the door of the edit
orial rooms and propounded the above
question.

society editor isn't in. did you want to
see him?"

the horse reporter; because if it's ANY,

No, it's nothing like that

her his right arm or make it a rule to
