How She Tries ON New Pair Of

toes into them and yanks and hauls until
she is red in the face and all out OF breath,
and then goes stamping and kicking
around, but pulls them on part way very
carefully, twitches them off again to take
last look and see if she has got the
right one, pulls them on again, looks at
them dreamingly. says they are just
right, then takes another look, stops sud-
denly to smooth out wrinkle, twists
around and surveys them sideways. ex-
claims mercy, how loose they are, y
looks at them again square in front,
works her feet around so they won't hurt
her quite SO much, takes them of, looks
at the heel, the toe, the bottom, and the
inside, puts them on again, walks up
and down the room once or twice, re-
marks to her better half that she won't
have them at any price, tits down the
mirror SO she can see how they look,
turns it every possible direction, and
nearly dislocated her neck trying to see
how they look from that way, backs OF,
steps up again, takes thirty or forty fare
well looks, says they make her feet look
awful big and never will do in the world,
puts them off and on three or four times
more. asks her husband what he thinks
about it, and then pays no attention to
what he says, goes through it all again,
and finally says she will take them. It's
very simple matter indeed.

The Only One Of His Kind.

WASHINGTON, January "a. = The
champion novelty Of the age in the line
Of office holding is John n. Irwin, OF
Iowa, who was appointed governor OF
Idaho territory in March last. When
his first quarters pay was sent him he
returned it with his compliments to the
treasury. The accounting officers hav-
ing no other method of disposing of it,
turned it over to the conscience fund.
Mr.. Irwin, in a letter to the controller,
objects very positively to this. He says
he returns the money because he only
desired the office of governor for the
honor of the position, and cares nothing
about the e~moluments. He desired that
an honorable" fund be created, and
that the money which he returned be
deposited to it's credit, and says that as
soon IS the balance of his salary is re-
mitted to him he will return it for Gre
dit to the fund.
AS this is the first instance Of such a
character in the history of the govern
ment, and as there is not much proba-
bility of a second case, the secretary
has not decided to establish the "honor-
able" fund. Perhaps he will refer the
question to the attorney general, whose
powerful and astute mind is so we'll able
to grapple with abstruse points. In the
meantime, if any of the dime museums
can make an engagement with Cover
nor Irwin, he would he a greater card
