for those who are not part OF those circles
here don't know anything al all about

ever mentioned in the papers do not con-
stltuie the top notch society. and some OF
tnem never participate n its affairs. The
set 70 which the title ''nIghest circle" be-
longs Is in reslity exclusive and very
quiet. 1t gives no dinners or rOuts that
are reported; it drives no iOur-in-hands; it
contributes nothing 10 the divorce courts;
II figures at no race courses; il asks no

they really any better than those we read

those we read OF have made their own

Col. Stephen A. Walker is now United
States District Attorney at New York
city. Walker had served the Union in
the innocuous position of assistant pay
master. One dark day while Mr.. Walker
was sitting in MS office, wondering how
long he would be compelled 10 loaf" on
account OF the inability of Uncle sam to
pay his boys in blue, q private soldier
walked in and confronted bin. The SOL
der belonged 10 Connecticut regiment.
Imagine the paymaster's surprise when
the following conundrum was put to him
by the soldier:
SAY, wnen do you expect TO pay us
men, anyway? We haven't had cent
now in three months"
The assistant paymaster glared at is
visitor and told him, neither politely nor
religi0uslY, that 1t was none OF his -
business. Tnls was lar from satisfactory,
and the soldier proceeded:
but it is my business, and that Is why
| am mere. Tue mem are not treated with
tue slightest justice, and If tho United
States amt able To pay them. why you
can have draft on New York bank for
the amount due my regiment
OF course there was no alternative left
to Col. Walker but to regard the Con-
necLicut private as a crank. IL remained
only to be sure just how dangerous g
crank he was.
you'd better get back to your camp at
once" said the paynaster. "Who gave
you permission TO come here, anyway
Come now, get out, or l Will call the
guard aud have you placed under arrest.
Cup
Suiting the action to the word the
doughty paymaster arose and proceeded
10 ''1ire" the private,

off, | tell you mean what say. | be-
long to the til Connecticut, and | can

Pm willing 10 advance Inc money. My
name is Elias Howe!p
This gave an entirely new aspect TO the
case, and Paymaster Walker grew quite
deferential. The man VINO stood before
him was the famous inventor of the sew
ing machine. He could pay his regi-
ment ali their back pay; he mad the VIII,
and he had the money TOO. Col. Walker
thought an apology was demanded. Tue
apology was given and Elias received IL
with the air OF a man VINO had but little
to forgive.
"Well, Colonel" said be, "when this
trouble is over, want you TO step down
TO New YORK sometime and see me-"
The Colonel lived then i'll Vermont,

GOVERNOR AND JUDGE.
A Wrestling Match Which Resulted
in Draw.
From the Jess son (Ko.) Tribune.

From the Jefferson (Ko.) Tribune.
A most important and distinguished
wrestle took place in the State Treasur-
er's Office Tuesday evening, the principals
baing GOV. Marmaduke and Judge E. Fl.
Norton. 1t appears that Gov. Marina
duke made some remark to the effect that
nothing would be easier than to place the
spinal column OF the Supreme Court
Judge across red stripe IN the carpet.
Judge Norton replied that the constitu-
tiOn of Missouri gave no person the right
to down the Supreme Court, except JUS
tees of the Peace. ana that at all events
be believed himself able TO make any
Chief Executive feel dizzy-headed.
This was enough. The room was clear
ed for action and Ed L. holland selected
for referee. No rules were to be observed,
but each was to do his best to down his
opponent. Gov. Marmaduke opened BY
making charge, and succeeded in cap
turing one of the Judges coattails. The
Judge filed lien on the Governors vest
and thus they waltZed across the room
several times. At first it seemed that tn e
Supreme Court must suffer defeat, and
then later on it looked bad for the admin
istration. A chair finally got between
them and ended the first heat.
After a brief rest the referee called
time, and both promptly responded. Each
realized that they bad undertaken a big
job, and proceeded cautiously. The Gov
ernor issued requisition Tor the Judges
coat and the right side OF MS vest and Sc
cured service. In the meantime Judge
Norton mad commenced haOeas corpus
proceedings TO secure possession OF the
Governors collar and coat ana proved
successful. Back and forth they went
over the room. Tne Governor applied all
his military tactics, aud the Judge mad
frequent recourse 10 legal strategy. The
struggle was long ana vigorous. Each
exerLed his strength IN vain, aud finally,
at the end OF i've minutes, the referee

A Queer story /, told Of Max Tw.ip.

A queer story Is told of Mark Twain.
Not long ago the humorist was travel.
ing in the country, and stopped one
evening at house presided over by an
elderly woman. He was shown 10 a
room somewhat bare OF ornament and
furniture, yet slept peacefully until
morning. When morning came, and he
arose, he becar mindful of the fact that,
although he had provided himself with a
tooth brush, he had forgotten his tooth
powder. lie consoled himself with the
thought that there must be tooth pow
der lying somewhere about After brief
search he discovered something in a
small box on the mantel which certainly
resembled tooth powder. at any rate,
he used IL vigorously on his teeth, and
found it satisfactory. When he got down
stairs, he apologized to the hostess for
using her tooth powder. She appeared
surprised. ''What tooth powderl" she
inquired blandly. 1T was on the man
tel" Mark replied. son the mautell''
she repeated. YES in 4 small box, ii
was excellent" he declared. "Good
gracious!" she CALCULATED. That wasn't
tooth powder "What was itl" asked
Mark, now slightly alarmed. "Why,
that was auntie," said she. CT seems
that 'auntie" had been cremated)
