Not Exactly Murder.
Detroit Free Press.

GMurder!'
This cry in a well known hotel in Detroit
the other afternoon, proceeding from a room
on the third foe, caught the ears Of several
chambermaids and created instant conster-
nation.
"Ohl Heavensi"
1t was the voice of a man who shrieked
the words from room No. 40, and the cham
bermaids at once sent a messenger to the
office with the news that murder was being
committed.
Don't kill me by inchss!"
These words alarmed others besides the
chambermaids, and the group Of three or
four presently grew to a dozen Who occu.
pied the rooml One of the chambsrmaids
recollected of seeing a beetle-brown man of
general piratical look, accompanied by q
woman closely vsiled, enter No. 40 Was he
killing heri
"Oh! oh! you are killing me!'
1t was the voice Of the man. The veiled
woman had got him in her power, and
seemed to be submitting him to some sort Of
torture. Several of the crowd knocked on
the door at once, and one OF the chamber
maids demanded in a falsetto voice that it
be opened at once. There was hal bal ha |
from the veiled woman, and the voice of the
man cried out:
What, do you mock at my misery"
A clerk came from the office and de-
manded admittance in the name of the law,
the continental congress, and several other
things, and after some little delay the door
was opened and a woman stood in the open
ing and asked what was wanted.
whats going on in there-who's being
hurtP
She laughed her ha! hal ha! again, and it
was echoed by the voice Of a man behind
her.
whats all this aboutr shouted the clerk
"Why, sir" she demurely replied, Il was
only pulling a porous plaster of my hus-
nands back!"

EXCHANGED

"Jeptha," said Mrs Jones as her husband
rose from tho dinner table, Il wish YOU
would get me some skeins Of embroidery
silk at some OF the dry good stores, and save
me from going downtown to-day
"An right" said Jones; airily, what color
do you wantsn
"Oh, mixed gray and black, something
like your hair said Mrs. Jones, pleasantly.
The first store that Jones went into the
girls stood in lines behind the silk counter
and looked him over as he approached; be
felt cold chills running up and down his YER
tebrR, his knees shook and clammy per-
spiration started out on his noble brow as he
asked for embroidery silk
What color." asked one Of the sales
ladies' rs she smiled sweetly at Jones mus
tache.
Just the color OF your hair" he said in
soft, beseeching tone, that sounded like cat
tapping cream.
And then he saw a change come over the
face Of the girl even as a Thunderstorm
crosses the blue Of a summer sky, and she
turned her back to him, pulled down a box,
slammed 1t on the counter, jerksd off the
cover and revealed a mass of scarlet silks.
Jones started.
Good heavensI The girl had fiery red
hairl
He made his peace with her finally, and
got out of the store alive. He said it was his
own hair he meant, and he took of his hat
humbly and she got the mixed skeins and
gave them to him with his change
1T would have saved you some trouble il
you had told me in the first place that you
wanted silks the color of a singed OWL" shs
said sweetly.
Jones says it was hair breadth escape for

ut takes lots of chinaware for thsse swell

then he stopped and smiled curiously. well

Haven't you noticed that all the china al

mouth close to the scribe's ear and whis
pered.
"Whatl For all these large receptions
Cabinet ministers, too! You don't say thai
they
"Yes, all of them nearly hire their china
for such occasions. You see at some recep
tions, such as those given by the cabinet
officers, foreign ministers, supreme judges
and the like, there are 400 or 500 guests pres

don't expect them to..keep china store. No.
no, they hire their service That's going
To-, but l guess not; won't tell you
where. If you go there you may eat out OF
that plate, and tomorrow night you may
eat from the same some where else. See,"
"Don't it get brokeni"
"Yes, receptions break china very fast
but we get paid for all that, and charge a
percentage on its value for its use. There
is hardly a reception given in Washington
where there is not hired china on the table
It's cheaper to hire than to own. Some peo
pie put away their light fancy china on such
occasions, because it is too expensive to have
broken and is hard to replace. Others don't
have it What we hire is nice china, but, az
I said, it is plain white. We seldom hire
any other kind, and when we do it is never
the same set twice"
"Why is that" asked the scribe, don't
