''Painting the Town Red.'

That's an old expression-painting
the town red-do you know where it
originatedp Well, I'll tell you. On my
last tour. through the country with Cal
lenders Minstrels-a year ago or more
I had an advance agent man named
Campbell. Campbell was genius at
advertising and never permitted rival
to get ahead of him. One day in Buf-
falo l said: Campbell, hear that
Barlow and Wilson are covering my
bills with their paper; | want that
stopped 1 told him he would strike
them at Adrian, Mich, and when next
l saw him he had huge bundles of bills
ready for shipment to Adrian. All were
printed in bright red. What are You
going to do?' asked. Il am going up
to Adrian to paste these bills over Bar
low and Wilson'S and on every dead
wall in that place. am going to paint
the town red,' and he left: When we
got to Adrian it looked as If it was on
fire, so thoroughly had Campbell done
his work. That expression, painting
the town red, was so comic that the
colored minstrels caught on to it, and
whenever there was any excitement or
anybody got particularly loud, they al
ways said somebody was painting the
town red' OF course it spread and is
now in use by everybody.

In the spring it becomes light in sad
souls, as at noon it becomes light in
cellars.
One cloud is dissipated and another
gathers. Hardly one day in hundred
is unbroken joy and unbroken sunshine.
When you know and when you love
you shall suffer still. The day dawns
in tears. The luminous weep, were it
only over the dark.
Truth is nourishment as well as
wheat.
If there is anything more poignant
than a body agonizing for want Of
bread, it is soul which is dying of
hunger for light.
The abolition of misery will be
brought about by simple elevation of
level.
There is no backward flow of ideas
more than of rivers.
The study of the cause leads to the
discovery of the remedy.
To keep silence together: a pleasure
still greater than to talk
Little incidents are, so to speak, the
foliage of great events, and are lost in
the distance of history.
Beasts no more comprehend the ways
of man than man comprehends the ways
of Providence.
To be near death makes us see the
truth.
Nothing is more imminent than the
impossible.
Youth quickly wipes its eyes; it be-
lieves sorrow useless and does not ac-
ceptit.
He who does not weep does not see.
And behind this splendor you caught
glimpse of God, the millionaire of
stars.
The beautiful is nothing more nor less
than the summit of the true.
We all seem to him to have disap-
peared as if behind curtain at a the
ater. These are such curtains which
drop down in life. God is passing to
the next act.
Happiness wishes everybody happy.
She caressed him with smiles.
An awaking of conscience is greatness
of soul.

RepOse in Conversation.

The leading quality to be cultivated,
if you would have an agreeable manner
in conversation, is repose. If you are
restless and vehement you will be con-
sidered weak. So you must not tidget
in your chair, nor run your fingers
through your hair, nor crack your fin
GER Joints, nor gesticulate like cam
paign orator. All of these things are in
bad form, and make people wish you
had sent regrets. You must avoid in
terrupting other takers, also, and learn
to control your temper, and say as lit
tie as possible about yourself. No mat
ter how bored you may be, assume the
virtue of being interested, and look
pleasant at any sacrifice of sincerity and
self-respect. Politeness exacts that you
do unto others at such times as you ex-
pect them to do unto you when your
turn comes. Your language should be
simple and terse, but clear and compIe-
hensive, and free from slang. Do not
seek to shine as humorist unless you
are very confident that the company is
an easy one to amuse; but if another
person makes such 4 venture it is your
duty to laugh, even if his jokes are so
thin and flat that you long to strangle
him. The amenities of social converse
ton do not permit the Introduction OF
political or religious topics, for the rea-
son that they can rarely be discussed in
a calm and kind spirit.

The College Girls Of New England.

New York Times.
On one of the trains bound for New
York, passing through New Haven a
little after noon the other day, was a
crowd of girls. They were evidently
from some college or boarding school
near Boston, as they occupied two Bos-
ton and Albany cars, which they had
all to themselves. There was a crowd
of Yale students at the station who left
on the same train. Most of them were
looking for a smoking car, and when
they saw dainty clouds of smoke pour
inc through the windows of these cars
they naturally thought they were smok-
ing cars. When they tried the doors
and found they were locked they Won
dered, and their wonder was increased
to intense curiosity when they saw
there was nobody but girls in the cars,
and that several of them were smoking
cigarettes. A coowd of the students
clustered on the platform and looked
longinglv into the windows of the cars
where they would like to be. That the
girls were from some college was made
further euident because many OF them
wore society pins, and the appearance
OF the crowd was that peculiar to col
lege bows except that these wore
dresses. Several were playing cards
but none were drinking, at least an IN
quisitive reporter who was attracted by
the sight, and who rode on the plat
form of one of the cars to Bridgeport,
saw no bottles. Indulgence in the
smaller vices could not be attributed to
the whole crowd, as out of fifty or so
girls in one car not more than ten, who
were in the corner, were indulging in
these scholarly traits. Cigarettes were
the only things the girls smoked; They
had neither cigars nor pipes. Several
of them had dainty cigarette holders,
and couple of them were evidently
and had seen use, as the
dainty light brown coloring showed.
The girls seemed to be having quiet,
enjoyable smoke in quiet, dignified
Boston sort of way. None of the nom

Selecting a Guide.

From Hunting the Rocky Mountain
Goat by William A. Baillie-Grohman,
in the December Century, we quote the
following: The first was the fellow
who could stand more rest than any
other man in the territory or, in other
words, was supposed to be the LATEST
man in Montana. The second was re-
puted to be decidedly bad man, an
old-time Virginia City vigilante, known
throughout the country as Judge
Neversweat,' on account of the equan-
unity of mind exhibited by him at a
certain most critical moment of his
life, when he held at bay, with an un-
loaded revolver, four doomed and des-
perate men, thirsting for his life and
their liberty. Judge Neversweat was
very anxious to act as our guide across
the Bitter Root mountains, every foot
of which he professed to know from
his prospecting days. Wen have a
blank good time-you bet your bed
rock flume on that he said, adding,
sotto voce, anyhow, rs long as the
whisky don't peter out His indigna-
ton, when informed that this was not
likely to occur, for the good reason that
on principle we never took whisky on
our shooting trips, was at first rather
amusing, then startling, to behold. The
mere idea of a good time without un-
limited whisky was a dire imposition,
an insult to frontier manhood. He was
too angry to give vent to the usual un-
bridled flow of bad language; his 9th
erwise loud voice toned down to an
angry snarl, his eyes glittered, his form
grew erect, his whole being assumed
an austerely dignitied air; in one word,
Judge Neversweat became polite. 1t
was a mood the half-dozen mountain
eers, silent witnesses of this scene,
seemed to understand and to fear, for
they all suddenly discovered they had
business elsewhere, leaving us, rs |
heard one mutter, 'to our own funeral.
Then spoke up the Judge: Gentlemen,
let Judge Neversweat politely inform
you, on the first call of his hand, that
this var camp amt lost no goat; and
if this var straddle amt going to find
your Improvement, Judge Neversweat's S
record amt one that'll stand a second
call Our egregrious exhibition of in
sular prejudice cost us some odd dol
lars. Judge Neversweat had not, we
found, included call to the nearest
saloon among those incompatible with
his record Of the three men from
whom we decided to pick our guide,
the third man enjoyed more harmless
reputation-nonee else than that he was
the biggest liar this side OF the Rocky
mountains Him we chose, for his
idiosyncrasy was decidedly the most
harmless. Aside from the fact that his
qualification to act as our guide was
about the biggest of all big lies he had
ever fabricated, he proved willing
fellow and n good cook; so while we
did his guiding he did our cooking,
satisfactory to both par

A DRAMAMIC INCIDENT.
That Didn't Wrok Twice In the Same
WaV.

''Are you dramatic editor?" asked
a smooth-faced young man, attired in a
plug hat, bright green bobtail frieze
coat and tight check pants, and further
adorned by watch chain, as he walked
into the office, with three-ply frown
corrogating his brow. "Are you the
man that prints them guys onto the pro-
fessionP
1--WE occasionally print interesting in
cidents relating to prominent artists"
replied the d. e., blandly.
Wasn't this the paper that printed
that story about Giannini, the opera
singer, being captured by brigands in
Spainp'
81 think / remember the instance"
replied the critic.
.'And after they had cleaned out the
tenor and his troupe, Giannim began to
sing something, whereupon the chief of
the robbers recognized the tenor from
having heard him sing at Madrid, and
was so much affected that he embraced
him, returned the plumber and escorted
him safe through the country. That
was the story, eh?"
Eyes, think such were the facts"
said the journalist, swapping his watch.
''Well, it is all guff-a regular bilkr'
exclaimed the professional, angrily.
''What do you meanp" growled the
writer, reaching for the big shears.
'Why, Just this: Robbers amt got
no more appreciation for talent than
than managers have. They don't go
cent on art, them fellows don'tr' and
the artist gloomily lit one of the critics
cigarettes.
ssDon't, eh?" said the star scalper.
mo, sir, they don't; and I'll prove it.
My stage name is Hamphat-you've We
heard of the Hamphat Brothers, the
great song and dance team, haven't
you?"
The dramatic edito admitted that he
hadn't.
''Well, sir, my partner, the world
renowned Teddy Hamphat, was up do
ing the northern circuit last week, and
the stage he was in was stopped by road
agents near Ukiah. Ted had read that
derned Giannini item, so he took the
boss highwayman aside into the bushes
and sung him a couple of verses of Dat
Yaller Girl dressed id Green"
"And how did it workP"
"Work; sir; why the gang shot him
full of holes and chucked him into a
ditch. I'm agoing up on the $3.50 train
to fetch the body home"
"That's sad-very," said the critic
with beaming smile.
"And it's all your fault. I'd advise
you fellows to let up deceiving the pub
lie that way. 1t amt the square shake
by derned sight. We're going to
give the widow benefit, and | think
you oughter to give it star notice, as
a stand off"
The critic promised to attend to it,
so the gentleman from the Bella Union
collared the balance OF the
cigarettes and drifted out.

Animal EccentricitieS.

Popular Science Monthly for December.
If man begins to save against his
old age, we cali it thrift, and praise him
as small capitalist who is giving host
ages to fortune; but if a dog accumu-
lates a store of bones or food, we look
upon him as indulging in dangerous ca
prices. which may end in the necessity
of putting bullet through his head.
There may be exceptions here and there.
Sometimes you will find an old lady who
will protect eccentricity in a parrot, a
magpie, or jack daw, as bird that
has right to certain freedom Of
movement in return for its entertaining
attempts at conversation. But, on the
whole, there is no sterner standard OF
than that which we en-
force on our domestic animals. Pet
dogs become perfect bigots in favor OF
the usual, and persecute any attempt to
dviate from it on the part even OF
more powerful and less favored col
league, as the inquisition prosecuted
heresy, or as the court of Russia perse--
cutes nihilism. There is nothing equal
to the indignation of an indoors dog at
any invasion of the privacy of the draw
ing room by an outdoors dog, and moth
ing more melancholy than the servile
apologies which the big dog will make
to the little one for even proposing to
break through the animal etiquette OF
he housp

PASSING SHOWERS.

Dim shadows fit DER hill and plain,
And fast descends the driving rain,
The suns bright rays are quenched in tears
How changed the lovely scene appears.
But yet not long the gloom shall last,
E'en while speak its sway has passed,
And budding leaves and pretty flowers
Look fairer from these transient showers.
If rain meier cooled the dusty ground,
If sunbeams always smiled around,
Soon would the earth refuse to yield
The treasures in her stores concealed.
If joys unmingled gift were ours,
Invaded not by passing showers,
So we perchance might cease to know
Compassion for another's woe.
Let feeting clouds before us rise,
And let our human sympathies
Spring in our hearts like tender flowers
Called forth by sorrows passing showers.
Grant us that storms of fearful strife
May ravage not our path of life,
Yet let no fortune on our way
Shine with unceasing glaring ray.

John Burroughs in the Century.
Ny bird is genuine little savage,

When the day is bad and unfit to be

it is sometimes near nine O'Clock before

BE SOMETHING.

Try to make the best of life,
Bear bravely all its sorrows;
To-day may be dark with strife,
But bright may be the morrow.
A little sorrow sweetens joy,
II we but know how to take it;
Much of the trouble we have
Come because we often make it.
Why fret, or cry, there is comfort,
II we only try to find it;
Gloom never comes over our path
Without the glorious sun behind it.
Remember you must dig for gold,
Don't be too proud to labor;
The treasures that you might have had
Was won by your toiling neighbor.
This world is brighter than you think it,
Has sunny spot for every one;
But by toiling, toiling, toiling
Is the only way that it is won.

4 Colored Preachers Large Shoes.

A pair of No. 35 shoes have Just been
sent by Lynn, Mass, shoe manufac-
turer to theis owner, colored preacher
of Charlotte, N. c. The length from
heel to toe is just twenty inches, and
the width of the ball, including pro-
truberance that may be corn and may
be natural, is tritie over seven and a
half inches. Some idea of the "tout en-
semble" may be gained from the fact
that pasteboard copy OF the sole OF
one of the shoes, which a reporter car
ried in his overcoat pocket, extended
from the lowest depth of the pocket to
the arm-pit. This copy was taken from
a measurement of the bootless foot OF
the clergyman, and those who know
pronounce it exact. From tho forward
end of the sole piece the size of a des-
sert-plate could easily be cut.
