one of the hotels whose wardrobe has Gre
ated considerable envy among her less for
tunate rivals of the same sex. This lady is
rather good-looking, but it is her shape that
she is particularly proud of. Indeed, she
has good figure, though slightly inclined
to embonpoint, as the writer will vouch.
The aforesaid lady is inclined to have nice
time, as her husband is far away
ing to wear out blase dudes. 1t
seems that two effeminate gentlemen
with downy upper lips and spindle legs
were out calling upon her the other night
and the hostess let out the fact. incautiously,
that she was going to do them up. Some
Of her friends turned on ''cilSyum light, -
as the lriShman said, upon her and one ar
dent swain, as they were seated in quiet
corner, and it is related that one OF the
dudes ripped his trousers at the knees in
trying to raise up out of his prayerful posi-
ton. When the twain met after the cpl
sode one Of the boys said, Charley, II
think she was giving me game, don't you
know"
1t is not generally known that a small
party Of Sioux stopped off at the Lafayette
the other day on their way East. Several
noted chiefs were in the party and the whole
gang, numbering seven. was under the
charge of a regular ARMY officer. Chauncy
Allen, whose fertile brain is always ripe
for some scheme by which to turn out a
merry dollar bethought him of securing
the Indians as dn attraction. Chauncy,
who is quite an orator, closeted himself for
an hour and evolved an address of well
come. Putting on his hat jauntily and Civ
ing his tie Byronic twist he hied to the
train, ready to spring the speech, which is
as follows:
Fellow Skins: 1t is with Sgreat pleasure
that | have the honor of addressing such q
fine looking gang, and it is with more pleas
ure that | am honored with the duty of invit-
ing you to stop over with US. Although 1 am
aware you are travelling on government
orders. still / presume you have stop-over
checks. VIII you partake of our hospitality?
You are Sioux and as 1 once had girl by the
name Of Sue, l suppose there's trace of In
dian blood in my veins. Cheers. And we
can claim relationship. Mighty warriors of
the blanket and army sock, will you linger
for few hours, and do the green corn dance
beside the laughing water. Grunts from In
dians, corn water. 1t is evident to me and
will be so to you l think, that gradual intro
duction into society would be of great use to
you in your diplomatic CORES pondence with
the commissioner. Again, fellow braves, 1
invite you.
The Indians came.

Now and then real good bluff and retort
to a woman is refreshing, especially as the
man is always considered boor. If there
is a lOng-SutfeTing class it is the man who
from a false notion Of the gentle and gal
lantry, gives way to impertinent and Snob-
Dish women. The other day. on a Mani
toba train returning from the lake to the
city, there was the usual amount of room
A gentleman walked in and took seat
next to window, and although the seat in
front of him was reversed and unoccupied
he made no spectacle by occupying more
than his ticket called for By-and-by in
came a lady and two children VINO took a
seat in front and beyond, and following her
came a little, dried up women, aged about
% and evidently unmarried. She looked
for all the world like one of Drew'S illus
trations in BalZac. Her teeth were of the
order rodentia, and her black, pop eyes lay
on her cheeks in bewitchiEg manner She
gaZed upon the reversed seat with its unoc-
cupied cushion, then she tapped the gentle
man, her vis-a-viS, on the shoulder and
said: Would you mind sitting over there?''
pointing across the aisle where an old lady
sat in half of the seat.
The man looked upon her calmly and
complacently and replied:
Yes, very much. l prefer to sit here"
''Ah. would you change over here?" point
ing to the reserved seat.
NO, madam, precedent entities me, l
would imagine, to this seat. Have you an
escort?"
Yes, sir. have"
well" continued the seated, 81 imagine
that little eXertion would turn the seat in
front. If that won't do l think that he can
get some checks in the baggage car, and
know there is quite great deal of room
there"
She looked angrily at the man and then
turned the seat over and sat down. In
came very nice-looking fellow. and in his
ear she poured her evident wrongs. He
glared over at the late combatant and she
rested her head Oh his shoulder The man
who had had the conversation with the
young lady leaned over and spoke to hel
escort:
Il beg pardon-your wife?"
mo, SIR
''Ah, well, my dear boy, 1 imagine that
a ceremony will soon occur. Postpone it,
never be satisfied with six feet of it."
