Yesterday evening the Critic was passing
down the Avenue, when he observed

fashion, walking with young lady of
about is summers. She was leaning up to
him and he to her. They walked along
for some time, the observed of observers.
Some mischievous person had had the au-
daoity to drop banana peel on the side
walk, which lay right in their route. He
planted his No. IL square on the peel and
down he went, his silk going out on the
avenue and tho claret flew from his nose
like water from a spigot. The ladys face
turned red and her escort looked sheepish
The only remark he was heard to utter was
II have witnessed a great many careless
things in my life, but don't think l ever
knew person to be guilty of so outrageous
thing as throwing banana peelng down
on the sidewalk before"
His lady companion quietly remarked:
"You would have stepped on it If it had
been out i'll the middle of the Avenue"
This settled it for him. He made but
one other observation, and that was that
the police. ought to arrest every man.

Crushed strawberry" is the very latest

brick red and candlestick yellow, and al
most every lady now wears something in
the new hue. The aesthetic Department of
Justice determined not to get left on
crushed strawberry" Accordingly when
the fashion papers announced its appear
ance, the Chief Clerk of the Tints, Shades
and Colors, Bureau of the Dep. of JUS, was
summoned before Brewster and told to pur-
chase a quantity of the color and use it
somewhere. The chief clerk procured
keg of crushed strawberry" paint, at great
expense, and the next day had the row of
consumptive-looking trees in Brewster
Park, adjoining the "Justice" building,
painted from the ground to the boughs
The trees may not be very ornamental in
their garb of "crushed strawberry" but
they are useful, for the Critic saw young

Senator Vest, who is member of the

the commission, atHelena and the two
will then visit the Flathead and Piegan
reservations. The others will hasten
through to Chicago with all speed and
thence disperse to the scenes of their
respective duties. The members of
the party were all in robust health and
added to the flush that marks good
physical condition bore upon their
faces, the indications arising from ex>

Sheridan disclaimed the report of
being unwell. He had been slightly
indisposed, he said, but was now fully
recovered. They had found the long
trip little trying, but had expected
that experience when they started and
had fully enjoyed themselves.
