Seeing Clark and Robert Tingley in
town Saturday reminded me Of the story
which i: told on Clark Tinglev. Hewent
to Chicago with q big shipment of cattle
last year and after turnin@ the live stock
into cash which lie deposited in a bank
he went out on the street 10 look around
a little. 4 rotund knight Of the brass
button and star at once arrested Mr..
Tirsley as he stood shabbily dressed,
with far away, where canI -strike-for-a
hand-out look on his unshayen face. The
officer wouldn't listen TO his protestations,
but run him in for vagrancy. Tingley
sent to one OF the big bankers and got the
cashier who informed the police tnat the
vagrant was only worth about a million
and that he would certify lis check for a
hundred thousand dollars. The Chicago
police never recovered from their surprise
Since that occurred they pick up the
worst looking tramps they can find and
pay them the homage due - royalty, ex-
pecting to run up against another shabby
millionaire.

TOO MUCH MONEY.
BY EMMA A. oPPER.

BY EMMA A. oPPER.
The long dining room Of a pleasant
New York hotel was fast filling, at z
p. M. of a cool autumn day; and the
bright gaslight, the soft warmth, the
flying walters, the subdued chatter Of
dishes and the murmur OF converse
tion combined to make it as cheerful
a room Is possible.
A party of three sat at a table near
it's center-a portly gentleman and
two young ladies.
If the latter were targets for the
wandering chances Of the male occu-
pants OF the surrounding tables, GER
tainly it was not surprising, since
both were, in widely different styles,
strikingly pretty. Moreover, they
we're calmly oblivious Of the admira-
ton they excited. They ate their soup
with q b~usiness-like concentration
which bespoke healthy appetites, and
"a profound indifference to the approx
n Of strange gentlemen.
It was not until the waiter was
gracefully removing the soup plates

ST.. LOUIS Dec. 20-The death from by dro-
phobia of the daughter of Louis Grund, ex-
chairman OF the Republican city central COM
mittee and prominent qnarryman and con-
tractor, was reported to the coroner to-day.
Barbara Elizabeth GRIND, sixteen years old,
some time ago was playing with young puppy,
only two months old, when it bit her. The
wound was not serious, and as the dog, so far as
known, had never been out of the house since
the day of its birth. and had never been with
other dogs, nothing was thought of it, About
eight days ago, however, the Young lady began
to show symptoms of the dread disease. and two
physicians were called n Their efforts to re-
lieve her suffering were Of no avail. and she
rapidly grew worse until yesterday, when she
died in the greatest agony.
