How He Succeeded In Getting the Walt
ers to Walt on Him.

HOW He succeeded In Gctting the walt
ers to wait on Him.
Those who had not clipped the
walters received but tardy attention. 1t
CHANGED that one of this class, big,
broad-shouldered fellow, with hugo
whiskers, regular basso profundo
voice, rough clothing, and head of
hair like big buffalo's frontlet, swag-
gered in, and, with free and indie
pendent air, took an unoccupicd seat at
the dinner table.
1t CHANGED that there figured upon the
bill Of fare that day roast bear meat,
which was served as sort of rarity,
and just as the newcomer sat down,
some was ordered by party of three
gentlemen opposite, who were prompt
ly served.
"Say, waiter" said the new conner,
"bring me some 'er that b. ar meat"
"Yessir." said the white-jacketed at
tendant, who left, but gave no further
heed to the order.
The Western man sat quietly in his
place for five minutes, the chairs on
either side of him having been immedi-
ately turned up, lest some guest equally
Objectionable to the head-waiter might
get in at that point. After sitting five
minutes he grabbed hold of waiter
who was passing behind him.
"Say, have you got any bar meat
for dinnerp"
eyes. SIR"
"Well, bring me some, and quick,
too, for I'm hungrier'n hound. ,"
Away went the waiter, but he didn't
return, and the color began to mount
into the face of the backwoodsman. He
gave third order, which was treated
with the same sublime contempt.
Patience could no further go; he seized
hold of the heavy dining plates that
were laid on either side of him and
dashed one after the other down vio-
smashed them into pieces, brought the
head-waiter and two or three others to
him in an instant, and started some Of
his immediate neighbors to their feet in
alarm.
"Look hyar," said the cause of this
alarm, Selling the head-waiter by the
arm, kin get waited on in this hyar
hotel and hev what 1 kin pay forP"
Certainly, sir, yes, SIR" said the
headwaiter, squirming Intellectually in
the grasp Of the big left hand Of the
Westerner that held him in an iron
grip.
"Wall, then. do you see thatp" slap
ping down ten-dollar gold piece with
his right hand, and then, throwing back
the upper part of his coat, from one in
side pocket Of which protruded re-
volver and from the other the handle Of
a huge bowie-knife, "thar's my money
and here's my weapons; ef you don't
have plate o. that bar meat here in
two minutes Ill rub some of you out.
Released from his grasp, the head
waiter retired and in a moment more a
plate of the desired delcacy was placed
before him.
Anything else, sir?" said the now
obsequious waiter
Eyes, take that" pointing to the
gold eagle that still remained on the
table, "and bring two bottles of cham
payne and four glasses"
When the wine came, one of the bot
ties and three glasses were passed across
the table to the three gentlemen oppo-
site.
Gentlemen, apologize for inter-
rupting your dinner, but / had to do
suthin to get waited on by these infer.
nal niggers. Won't you take drink
with mep"
1t was thought best to humor him.

Tho Kind OF inexpensive Costumes In
Vogue Mt fashionable Centers.
Belted waists are in great favor for
summer dresses, and are especially pop
ular for wash dresses of cambria, ging-
ham, satteeu, Chambery, batistc, and
the most inexpensive prints. There
are several ways of making these
waists, but those most easily ironed are
plain on the shoulders, and merely
gathered to belt in the middle of the
front and back. The fronts are but
toned up close TO the throat with small
pearl buttons, round as pea, but with
eyes sunk in for sewing them on. The
back is made all in one piece, and stayed
by facing of linen beginning on the
shoulders, following the outline of the
armhole, and being sewed In with the
belt Others prefer to keep the waist
separate from the SKIRT, hence they ex-
tend the whole bodice q finger deep be-
low the waist line, for this part to pass
under the dress skirt after a drawing
string has drawn it into shape, or an
under-belt has beeIl used with the waist
gathered outside IL. Imagine brown
Chambery dress with this waist fitting
the plump figure n,atly, and finished on
the high standing collar and narrow
cuffs with several rows of white linen
braid. The skirt has kilt plaits that do
not lap deeply, yet are very wide, and
there is very simple apron over-skirt
draped high on each side by a success
sion of buttons and loops placed q few
inches apart, and to be unbuttoned
when the dress goes to the laundry.
There inay he as many as ten rows
OF white braid on the plated skirt,
and half as many on the over-skirt
Similar dresses are made in blue Cham

ham, and darls blue cambria in which
there are red figures A braided belt
may be used. or else one Of alligator

Emory Storrs and the Millionaires.

One day a group of millionaires,
who were sitting on the piazza at the
United States, at Saratoga, began to
chaff Storrs in a solemn fashion. He
had just confessed to them that he
was not worth any money, and that
he had spent everything that he had
made as fast as he got it. Suddenly
he turned upon one of the would be
tormentors and began: "You rich
fellows appear to think that money
making is an intellectual process, and
that the wealth acquired by you
proves that you are very superior
kind of men. You are very much
mistaken. There is nothing intellect
ual about acquisitiveness. 1t is mere
an animal trait. 1t is less highly de-
veloped in you gentlemen than it is
in the chipmunk. The beaver is very
much your superior in this regard.
Where are the rich men of history?
There are two only who live in the
legends of literature-Dives, who
survives on account of his fortunate
connection with pauper, and Cresus,
because his name has been used by
poets merely as synonym. Gentle
men, where are the stockholders who
built the Parthenon Doubtless in
their day they sat around in Athens
and spoke of the fine work that Phi
dias was doing for them. But, gen.
tlemen, where are the stockholders
to-day and where is Phidias" He
went on in this quaint way for fully
half an hour, and when he had finish
ed even the millionaires did not seem
to think that they had the best of it.

Gen. Forrest in the Bus.

Gen. N. b. Forrest, the famous
Confederate cavalry leader, visited
New York, and one day, while riding
in Fifth avenue stage, dude of the
most pronounced type entered and
took his seat in the corner opposite
the general. While searching his
pockets for something the youth with
drew large envelope from which n
number of papers slipped and were
scattered on the floor. He picked up
those within reach, and turning to
Forest, who looked like "a member
from the rural Districts" said in the
drawing, consequential and supercil-
ious tone peculiar to his class, 81 say,
can you reach those papers I" The
general grasped the situation in a
moment, and extending his arm, re-
piled with well assumed country pa
tots, "Wall, jis kin, stranger, an
that's about ALL" Then he drew him
self up to sitting posture again and
looked innocent, while the occupants
OF the stage roared, and the embar-
raised dude proceeded to help him
self, and as quickly as possible leave
the unsympathetic company.
7 An old gentleman, who, to Judge
from his shaken sides, heartily enjoy
ed the scene, now changed his seat
for one next to the General, and re-
marked to him: Stranger, excuse
me for the question, but where are
you from 7" "Arkansaw p was the
rejoinder. "Well," said the old man,
"Pve always heard that an Arkansian
is - of fellow, and now l be-
lieve it. Shake hands, stranger p
He was doubly delighted a few mo-
ments later when, on arriving at the
New York Hotel, Forrest introduced
himself propria persona, and invited
his new-found friend to become his
guest at dinner.-Home Journal.

her hand, as he had done that other
day. which both silently remembered.

Her face grew pale again and her
eyes were bright with happiness.

she questioned.
Men never tell their real thoughts at
these critical times; but q comical Wis
ion OF Alice Bayard's probable ideas OF

very tenderly that he said:

Sometimes the darkest mine conceals the

And the gem is oft dissu sed with rudost

Some homely things are priceless, and behind

The glossest of blessings and the most at

The things VIC highly value often prove but

So we value toy balloons well padded out with

And globes of downy pleasure that are dyna.

Too oft we gaze ut sorrow, aud its somber

Our eyes turned from the glimmer at its

The soul oft chills and hardens till, with deep

The workman breaks its fettcred scales

The ministers of sorrow are the messengers

And hearts that know its purpose are the ones

The purest light-rclector is the prism of a

The heavens in pools of sorrow mirror deep;
The trust that leads to patience is begotten
from our fear,
And tender spirits come to those who weep:
The death angels from evil many thoughtless

And sorrow when transplanted into Heaven

The most enchanting vanity may blast boy nd

The peace of God may blossom from the min
