There Was a Little Girl"

Yes; and when the roses faded
from her cheeks and she became list
less and languid and pale, they gave
her Browns Iron Bitters. 1t built
her up in health and made her ruddy
and strong. Miss Weigold, % Perry
Street, Pittsburg, Pa, writes that her
sister, aged 10, took several bottles of
Browns Iron Bitters for nervousness
and dyspepsia, and was greatly re-
lieyed.

CoURTsHIP BY TELEGRAPH.
How a Louisville Telegraph oper.
ator Won a Bride at Dayton,
Ohio.

DAYTON, o., Sept. H. Enquirer
Special quite romantic love af-
fair, terminating in wedding, came
TO light here to-day. During the
strike of the Western Union tele-
graph operators, few years ago, a
lady operator named Cora Lennox
was brought here from Union City
to take the place Of striker. The
young lady is quite handsome, and is
a person with disposition to make
friends. No one was quicker to per-
cieve her good qualities than Law
renee L. incomes, an operator at the
Cincinnati end of the wire. He
seemed to know from the click of the
instrument that pretty damsel was
at the other end, and soon the wires
were used by the two to talk TO each
other although they were sixty miles
apart. What gushing stories of love
and the usual nonsense attending such
matters they may have told no one
will ever know. However, they
were so well manipulated that re-
Gently Mr.. incomes took trip TO this
city to make the better acquaintance
of the girl who possessed his aflec-
tions, but whom he never saw. This
only seemed to feed his affections
and on the Goth day of last month he
came to Dayton, procured a marriage
license and made the charming oper'
ator Mrs. incomes. The wedding was
private and none but a few relative:
knew of it until your correspondent
accidentally picked up pointer
which, upon investigation, led to thu
discovery of the above facts. Mrs
incomes has rendered her resignation
as an operator, and will soon join hel
husband in Louisville, KY, where HI
accepted position as telegraph oper
ator only few days ago.

Secretary Whitney's Experiment

Secretary of the Navy, Whitney, is
an old New Yorker, and so familiar
with the city's characteristics. lie
stood in the corridor of the Fifth
avenue hotel in light conversation
with Secretary of the Interior, La
mar, and the topic of conversation
was a confidence robbery that had
been perpetrated upon guest of the
house that day. Whitney main
tanned that while some men were
astonishingly gullible the majority
were unreasonably cautious.
"To illustrate my point" he said,
''let my young friend, Joe Barnard,
here offer to give $40 bill for 81, and
not man in this corridor will az
cept the offer"
The experiment was at once made.
Joe was good-looking, well-dressed
fellow, with nothing in his aspect to
suggest roguery. Whitney handed
crisp, new $40 note to him, and he
set out on his round.
81 beg your pardon, sir" he re-
marked politely to Gen. Dan Sickles,
who was stumping round on leg
and a crutch, "but will you please
give me one dollar for this ten ?" and
he held the note so close to Sickles'
eyes that its genuineness ought to
have been visible.
A half-sarcastic, hrlf-angry grin
came over the generals face, but he
deigned no reply, and contemptuous-
ly turned away. The proffer was
soberly made to nine men, none be-
ing witness of the of others refusal
and every time with the same result
Nobody would buy $40 for 81. All
decided on the spur of the moment
that they were the object of a swim
dler's attention. The endangered
note came safely back to Whitney
and the group laughed over its ad.

A WRITER in the Detroit Journal takes
exception to the style of cutting students
hair at the university, and says: A young
man often enters the university with a
head constructed on the cottage plan,
with all the bedrooms down stairs. and
leaves it, after few years of intimacy
with pompadour barber, to all appear
ances a reformed man. Nature has way
of getting tired sometimes and lying
down beside her work and going to sleep
before the supper bell rings. This gives
the Ann ArbOr barber chance to DEM
onstrate wherein he knows more about
bis business than the original architect.
BY pluuiug from the side of the head and
putting on hip roof where nature had
let it go at composition, he generally
manages to impart an air of intellectual
ity that is warranted to hatch chickens
from door knobs.

J. ELLEN FOSTER, lady orator for

out west by attacking st. john, the later
Baptist Precisely why she attacks him
is not known at this distance, but it IS
doubtless lecause he inadvertently ass

defeating Blaine That is to say, ]. Ellen
Foster puts the republican cause in adj
vance of the temperance one. She as
sumes to be prohibitionist and nothing
else, but she is republican and nothing
else. This she has a right to be; but she
doubtless assumes, as all other indignant
republicans and probibitionist do, to
Judge the motives as well as the action Of
Mr. st. John, who may, after ALIVE
present it as a startling fact-be Just as
conscientious and just as little deserving
of tar and feathers as she is. But tens

Munich Cor. New York evening Post.
The best beer brewed in Munich is at
the Hofbrauhaus, which is one of the
sights of the city, doomed, however, to be
altered and modernized in the near fut-
ure. The fact that extremes meet is il
Illustrated by the Hofbrauhaus beer. When
ordinary beer has no foam it is sign
that |. is stale, fiat and improbable; but
this beer is brewed after different re-
cipe, and has no foam naturally, it being
local maxium that good beer should
have none. Commonly it is drunk out of
stone mugs, which makes it taste better
than if drank from glass, for reasons
which may possible be traced to the i'm
agination. In restaurants and cafes beer
may be had in half litre glasses or mugs;
but if any one should ask for half litre
at the Hofbrauhaus he would probably be
regarded with as much establishment as il
he should ask at first class American
restaurant for five cents worth of terrap-
| in or canvas back duck. For different
reason, however, since the beer at this
place IA Court institution) is extremely
cheap. 1t is sold almost at court price
six cents litre (about quartz whereas
at restaurants and cafes the same quality
costs ten cents. Nor are the other re-
freshments sold at the Hofbrauhaus very
dear. Two eggs-this is, with salt and
pepper. plate and spoon-cost fourteen
pfennigs-three and half cents Indeed,
low prices are customary at all the Mum
ich restaurants. Those of the first class
are as good as in any European city,
while those of the third and second class

ter than in London or New York. But

Those who wish may sit down and wait
for the water girl to bring them mug of
the "Stoff;'' but the orthodox fashion is
to get your own mug in trough, rinse it
at the waterpipe, mark its number, and
while it is being filled cay for it. When
it comes back filed you carry it trlumphA
antly to seat-if you can find one. for
the place is always crowded with the most
curious mixture of persons of all ranks.
Large quantities are carried away in mugs
and glass pitchers; men and woman car
rying beer in the street being one of the
most characteristics sights in Munich.
