A brakeman standing on the depot plat
form at Bismarck, the other day, espied a
newly washed shirt drying on line in the
lot adjoining the premises where he lived.
"By Jove, that shirt just matches one have,
and I'll nip it," Selling moment when no
impertinent observer was nigh, he ''nipped"
the coveted garment, sure enough, and took
it into his house. ''See here, old woman,
I've stole this shirt, and 1 want you to keep
mum. 1t just matches the one L took off yes
terday." "Where did you get it?" says the
wife. over here on a clothes-line in IS
lot" You darned fool, that's your own
shirt. 1 washed it this morning, and hung
it on that line to dry" Some of the boys who
were on the inside, have had free drinks
ever since.
According to the Globe Democrat, Miss
Cinda Evans, well known to manv persons
in the Valley, is rather troublesome charge
to the boarding school folk with whom she
is placed. Last Saturday, while shopping
in St. Louis with Mrs. Sneed Cairns, princi-
pal of the Kirkwood Female Seminary, and
a schoolmate, Miss Cinda gave her guardian
the slip. The schoolmate directly afterward
gave the alarm, and the twain started in
pursuit. On inquiry 1t was learned that the
deserter had gone toward the river, and
thitherward they followed. The steamer
City of Vicksburg lay at the foot of the street,
and after strict search Miss Evans was found
locked in one of the state rooms. She was
homesick, and had asked the officers of the
boat to carry her to Birds Point, where her
father resides. The officers knew her, and,
sympathizing with her feelings, consented.
But Mrs. Cairns called police officer, land the
delinquent was made to return to the school.
We condole with her, too: some of those
boarding schools for young ladies are terri
bly, dry places, and at too many of them the
scholars are-to use the words of another
young lady of our acquaintance-put upon
San oatmeal diet with perpetual dessert OF
gingerbread and prayers"
