Ladies' In Harness..

Said my lady saleswoman the other
day, about women's tastes in hosiery:
ut is getting to be quite the thing for
some young ladies to trim their dresses
and sacques with leather. One young
miss came in here the other day with
her old father, and wanted to look at
some leather trimmings which had
buckles on them. / succeeded in find
ing something that pleased her, and
then she wanted something else in the
line which l didn't have. Then her
old father spoke up and told her he
would go with her down to a harness
shop, where she could get a whole set.
He said she would never be satisfied,
he supposed, until she had a horse-col-
lar around her neck, a girth, and-I
won't tell you what else he said, but it
made the poor thing blush and all the
clerks giggle. hicago Evening Nail.

MICHAEL HAwLEY was arrested and
locked up in Jersey City for getting
drunk. His wife sent him five dollars
to pay his fine, and a letter containing
these affectionate promises: "You hor-
rible wretch. I'll just murder you
when l get the chance. I'll pull every
hair out of your red head. My hands
are fairly itching. Come home as
quick as eve you can" 1t would be a
very hard-hearted husband who
wouldn't obey such an appeal; and
yet the probabilities are that Michael
didn't rush home rs quick as he could.
If he had any regard for his health and
hair he asked the magistrate to make
it six months.

dining-room in great haste, obliged to
take a railway train which started in a

lated: "Well, you have got cheek!'

PEOPLE often wonder why it is that
a fleshy Indian is SO seldom seen. A
scientist has discovered that it is water,
and not food, that makes people fat.
Whether this holds good with the no.
BILE red man or not, it is hard to say,
but if an Indian was to depend on the
water he uses in washing to become
fat it is safe to say that he would be
the thinnest man under the sun. The
only time an Indian aver gets a bath is
when he rides his pony across a stream
or gets tipped out Of a boat.
