She Had a Polar Cheek.

Talk of cheekr' observed the pro-
prietor of a well-known uptown dry
goods establishment yesterday. 'Why,
the most alarming instance l ever yet
heard of came under my own observa-
ton Saturday. A little after noon a
handsomely -attired young woman en-
% or thereabouts. Walking up to the
manager, she said, with a knowing lit
tie smile:
.Would you please give me a
piece of paper in which to wrap my
ruhbersp'
" Certainly, MISS was the answer.
/ And he handed her two large sheets of
wrapping paper, which she took. and
then stood hesitating and looking at
her fee.
land would you mind taking them
off for me?' she added, indicating the
rubbers. with little movement of her
foot.
1.-The man looked surprised, as well
he might. But being a young fellow
and quite gallant, he promptly re-
plied:s
Certainly, miss-if you wish me-
"He stopped and she put her right
foot on stool to assist him in the op-
Grafton. Then the left foot was attend
ed to. A small hole was visible on the
point of the left shoe, and the white
hosiery peeped through.
"O,' she exclaimed. i forgot.
Have you any ink in the store? The
heel and toe are white, but the rest of
them isn't. want You to fix it for
me-
IAN ink bottle was procured, and a
paper wad soaked with ink was pre-
pared by the accommodating manager.
/" No; you do it, she urged, in a
pretty authoritative way. 'Daub it well
in. won't youp There, little more
near the edges where the white still
shows. Now; that will do very nicely.
Ever SO much obliged. Thank YOU
And she picked up the parcel contain
ing her rubbers and marched out of the
store.
"If that young lady doesn't get along
in the world it won't be for lack of as
surance, for she had certainly the most
superlative polar cheek l ever saw.
Yet all her actions were those of a girl
of culture, and she was SO well-bred
that her requests were made in a man.

body. She was a daisy, and no mis-

To Help The Church.

We had scarcely entered the hotel at
Chattanooga when colored man ap-
preached and asked subscription to
help colored church which had been
destroyed by fire. We gave HIM a
quarter piece, and after breakfast, as
we strolled down the road to Lookout,
we met the same man again, and he
said:
..Gem'lem. our Guild church had de
misfortin, to be blowed down in de
great cyclone. If you would only be so
kind as to help de folks along a little
I'm sure de Lawd would bress YOU"
We shelled out again, and two hours
later the same individual walked up to
the trio and observed:
'Gem'lem, our Gull d church has had

ber by freshet. If you would"
Say, old fellow" interrupted the
Judge, 'this is the third time you have

yer, are collecting. On one occasion
he and another lawyer had consulta-
ton with Judge, and after hearing a
part of the case the judge offered a sug-
gestion.
I'VE are agreed on that" said both
of them.
The Judge offered another.
I'VE are agreed on that" they sang
out again.
The Judge came up with another.
1--WE are agreed on that"
Then the Judge hit upon point
that was particularly twisted, and. af-
ter puzzling over it, he said: We'll, l
don't seem to have any sense at all.
I'VE are agreed on that" blurted
out Edgar. and paid for the drinks.
The next one is on Mr.. johnson. He
was arguing a case before Judge Stor-
er, and there arose some Interruptions,
and the talking became general.
There's too much talking in the
courtroom. said the Court warningly
and with irritation.
Il haven't been saying anything,
your Honor replied Edgar, taking the
censure to himself.
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. johnson.
responded the Judge politely, .'but

more

On telegram from here Henry Snaren-
berger, partner in the music house of Sna-
renberger Rhodes, on West Main street,
was arrested in st. Louis last evening on the
charge f embezzling $500 Of the firms funds
His sudden disappearance from here was
noted at the time and the supposition then
was there was a woman in the case. 1t was
siso stated in support of that theory that his
accounts appeared to be all straight, but closer
investigation showed this not to be the case
and detective Norris was put on his track
with above result. When the ST. Louis Of
fcer arrested him Snarenberger drew a re-
volver and tried TO shoot him, but it didn't
work. As else here noted Norris started
west, last night, after his man, armed with
requisltion from Gov. Hoadly, warrant and
other papers, and is expected to return here
with the prisoner tomorrow night. A news

Whether, as some insist, or not last night
was the coldest of the season, the margin of
difference was SO small that there is little
room for argument on the point. You can
hear almost any sort of abysmal estimate OF
the lowest degree reached by the mercury,
the least being eight TO ten below zero. in
the ninth Ward, varying from that to % be-
low on the bills short distance north of the
city. On South Market street it marked
nineteen below and at J. Drurys, South
Centre, fourteen below at $50 this morning.
The twenty-four hours closing at that hour
are declared by Mr.. Drury to have been the
coldest similar period in seven years, accord
ing to his record, the mean temperature being
&c degrees below zero. The nearest ap-
proarh 10 such visitation as We have Just
had was in 1855, when a storm of snow and
wind, accompanied ty intense cold, began
in Texas and swept over the entire country.
Happily there are some signs OF betterment
of the situation.

said Capt. Tom Mason, of the bark

any serious trouble with them. They

are as gentle as lambs. The majority
of crews Lhave commanded have been
composed of negroes. | have such
crew on nv bark now that / brought
around from New York. The best
sailor | ever had aboard my ship was
an old darky who was called Peter
Bean. He was a boatswain with me
in 1862 and | think must have been
killed in the negro riots in New York.
l never saw him afterward. No one
knew his age-he didn't know himself,
and might have been 100 years old.
The old fellow was very vain. He
braided his wool, and kept it well
creased with pomade of tar and slush
out of the cooks galley. His head IVES
as hard as a rock. One day a hgnum-
vita fid fell off the maintopsaii yard
and struck the old fellow square on his
head. He dropped like a sack, and We
picked him up for dead. poured a
glass of rum down his throat, and he
was all right in little while. 1t didn't

DIR. Peter Collier, who was formerly
associated with the National Agricul-
tural Bureau as chemist, has publicly
announced that sugar can be made
from sorghum for cent pound. If
this is true, then it certainly is not only
important but startling. As We are the
great sugar-eaters OF the wo. Id, con-
suming 1890, 900, ,O00pounds every year
and paying about 500, ,0O0.0 for it, it
is a matter of surprising interest to
us that DR.. Collier shall explain how he
can make sugar for a cent pound.
He is an expert in the business and
ought to know what he is talking about.
II he is correct, we are paying five times
more than we ought for our sugar. -

John McCullough's illness recalls an
anecdote he used to tell of Edwin For

Forrest was particularly impatient
with the trick that amateurs have of
holding their heads down.
.'Confound it, sir! Do you suppose
that Casca, an ancient Roman, ever
went round hanging his head down ike
a dog?"
No, SIR" said the super meekly.
Then what do you do it for?" con-
tinued the tragedian.
Il don't know, SIR" said the super.
but you should sir" roared the
tragedian.
The super. finally despairing of learn
ing his part, asked Forrest in rever-
ent tone how he acquired his knowl-
edge of acting.
WAS it from genius or energy, sir?'
he said, meaning no offensc.
No, sir!' roared Forrest, from
good lungs and plenty of self-conceit!"

Into the midst of the crowded street,
Almost under the hurrying feet,
There fell a thought of the heart Divine, =
Clinging close to a toil-worn hand.
There passed a shadow from haby-land-
Only a shadow-so white and thin

1t lacked the coral of baby lips, -
The pink of a bahy's finger tips,
The silken floss of babys hair,
Kissed and smoothed with the sweetest care
There looked habys sweet surprise,
And close 10 its innocent baby breast,
A babys baby was tightly prest- a
Wavering slew. with uncertain tread, -

Ever lovingly glanCing down
On that headess doll in II ragged gown.

And at every glance its love and pride
Came and went like rosy tide
over its poor little pallid face
Frail lily buds in a noisome place.

In the shape Of its lovely memory.
And out Of the long day. toll and care,
! brought this blossom and fruit SO fair. q
No life so narrow, no heart so lone,
No hands so empty they hold not one
OF the loves that bless. And God above
Shared with that baby the joy of toye.
