ABSENT-MIN DECNESS.
An Affection That is Suffered by the Old
and the Young.

An Addiction That is Suffered by the Old
and the Young.
Among the many eccentric and some
times aggravating people of this world
the absent-minded folks take a front
seat. All people are more or less alb
sent-minded, although some have the
popularity to a greater degree than
others. All old people are absent
minded in one respect, if not in any
others. That one respect is the ancient
custom of pushing their spectacles up
on their foreheads and then looking
around and keeping everybody else in
the house upon grand search for the
articles, until the owner scratches his
or her head in perplexity and the
glasses slide down into place upon tho
nose.
Many old cheStnutS are passed around
about absent-minded people. Among
them is that of the man who started
down town from Broadway, and when
half way to his destination suddenly re-
membered that he had left his watch at
home. As he doubted very much
whether or not he had time to 90 bacl,
after it, he pulled the watch from his
pocket to ascertain. Another olive.
which when read will call forth shout
of ''rats," is that of the guest of tho
American House who started for the
post-otiice in search of letter. When
he had arrived at the corner of Six
teenth and Larimer streets he met a
friend with whom he stopped to chat.
As is usual in such cases. the two when
they met swung around so that the MN
who was going to the post-oifice stood
during his chat facing North Denver.
When his friend left him. the first man
resumed his walk and soon found him.
self back at the American House.
There are many absent-minded men
who can never take letter to the post
office until they have carried it in their
pockets several days after their wives
have put the letters in their husbands
hats so that they will be sure not to 90
away and forget it. Many people are
absent-minded about the payment of
little bills and the small change which
they borrow. The man who tries 10
unlock his door with match and to
light cigar with his latch-key may be
considered absent-minded, or he may
be suspected of Observation-Disclosures.
1t has been said that Young man
once went home and put on his best
clothes and forgot to take the money
out of his everyday pantaloons. In the
evening he met the lady of his choice
and invited her to take lunch, which
included ice cream. After supper had
been eaten the young man discovered
that he had left his money at home. and
a scene of confusion ensued. That was
case in which Observation-Disclosures
brought about unpleasant results.
All mothers of growing children are
proverbially absent-minded. They will
promise the little ones trouncing in
five minutes, or '.just as soon as get
through this ironing" or tomorrow,
and then forget all about it rs soon as
one of the neighbor-women come in to
complain, when the absent-minded lady
will forget all about the thrashing, and
declare that her child never did wrong
thing since it was born.-Denrer Iri-
6une Republican.

A Precious Porcelain Service.

gold-anchor mark. Only one other
similar service is extant, which is ia

-Alonzo Douglass, ripe scholar, an
accomplished musician, and an excel
lent painter, died recently in Louis
vile, aged seventy-one. For nearly
half century and until less than a year
ago he was slave to opium. At the
age Of seventy years he was able to con-
auer the almost Unsuitable appetite, and
lived the remaining short interval of his
life unaided by the drug which had SOL
aced him for so long. For many years
his customary allowance was three or
four ounces of gum opium a day, and
he has been known to drink as much as
a gallon of paregoric in twenty-four
hours.-Louisr1lle C0Nrier-I0urn0l.

BUTTE, Ang. 30.-Gen. Hazen, chief Of
the signal service, stopped a few hours here
to-day en- route to Helena. He is making
his biennial inspection of principal signal
offices. The Montana signal service, he
says, consists of seven Offices, Helena, Forts
Missoula, Shaw, Benton, Assinaboine,
Maginnis and Keogh. There is more
south of the Northern Pacific for tine reason
that there seems no need of one. The
principal benefit derived from the Montana
service is in winter, in getting warning in
advance of the approach OF bl5zzards.
Being asked ifzhe regarded Montana as the
billiards. home, he said: ssNo, but it is
generally in the northern part Of the terrl-
