There is nothing in which McCabe
Bros, take more real pleasure than in the
delight of the children, and for many
years to aid and assist parents in freely
supplying the little ones with the highest
art of pleasure. they have each holiday
season been prepared with an elegant as.
sortment of dolls of every description
and have Invariably sold them without
profit. their prices always being well
known to be just about one half the price
asked by other dealers. This season they
have outdone all former efforts and are
selling all kinds of China, Bisque and
Wax Dolls much below the price of any
former year. Their stock is being very
rapidly depleted and by Christmas day
they will probably not have one dozen
left of all kinds combined. Early selecs
tions offer many advantages.

Novel Reading Made OdiOus.

A bitter wag, made angry the
ever-jn crcasinS output of novels, mas
devised a new and malignant antdote
for the appetite for romance. He de-
clarcS that he VIII write a supplement
t, every modern love story, to be sold
at hall price, setting forth the matri-
monial adventures and experiences of
the hero and the heroine. The sweet
and pathetic maiden with the mild blue
eyes and the golden hair is to be devrl
oped into the fat aad ruddy shrcw with
Il tendency to quarrel with her husband
and row her servants. The gallant
gentleman with the long mustache and
the silver voice is, on his part, to be
ruthle-siy pictured marching up and
down his bedroom in a ry attire, with 4
squalling baby in his arms, redolent
of sour milk and catnip. The will of
the rich old uncle, which brings wealth
and happiness at the end of the first
volume will be proved forgery in the
second. What with the upsetting of
every pretty C tnventionality and the
disclosure of the inevitable conditions
into which no well bred novelist ever
follows his characters, this cynic hopes
to make novel reading nauseous and
novel writing as Improbable rs it is a
dark iEdus,ry.-!T. LOuis Spectator.

A Beast Of q Jail Bird.

W. II. Rickhoff. horse thief in the
Oh cago Jail, for a man shut out from
the world appears to have carried on his
love emaking iG a most successful man-
ner. In the jai. he spent good deal OF
time talking with one of the female
prisone<s through barred gate. On
this account he was transferred to a
place where he saw less of his inamorata.
But it is outside of the jail where Rick
hoff has exhibited most of his talent.
A domestic on the west side whose name
Is Henrietta was engaged to RickhOH,
or supposed she was, and, full of sorrow
for the poor young man, often visited
the jail to see him and give him money.
The prisoner seems always to have been
willing II accept the girls mite, giving
her to understand she was his Juliet.
He also intimatcd to her that the money
was needed to carry on his trial and
save him from the Penitentiary-fr
which he had already been saved by
Judge Williamson's change of sentence.
Henrietta, however, trusting her lover,
never ceased to send or bring him funds
and it is said that she has gwen him IN
all 5000 saved from her wages of $500
a week.
She never suspected that anything
was wrong until Il short time ago when
another girl went over to see her and
told her that she was engaged to Rick
hoff and had been giving HIM money to
help him in his trial. One or two other
girls are said to have fallen victims to
the fellows peculiar fascinations and
supported their love for him with gen
erous contributions from their slender
purses. How much money Rickhotf
has succeeded in getting from his nu-
mcrOuS female admirers is not known,
but the contributions are supposed to
aggregate large amount.
His plea that the money was needed
to carry on his trial is mere pre;cnse.
1t is doubted if he ever paid 4 penny to
his lawyer. The money is believed to
have been spent in living on porter
house steaks, New York counts, mutton
chops, boned turkey and other delica-
ces of which he was very fond and
seemed to have in great profuSion.-
