refrain from working until such time as
his brethren could join him. Over at

A Museum ,ranarer's Joke.


In one of the museums Of the city a great
many wax figures are disposed about the hall
and corridors in surprisingly natural and ap-
parentiy unstudied attitudes and it is one Of
the principal amusements of the place to note
the uncertainty and embarrassment Of strang-
ers in taking first views of these figures. The
visitor turns corner, comes face to face with
q dignifed looking gentleman, and at first
politely refrains from staring at him Half
turning away the visitor glances furtively
over his shoulder, catches the eye OF the dig
nified party, and hastily averts his gaze. Then
he moves few steps away, takes another
peep from around corner to see whether
solemn old gentleman has noticed his some
what impertinent observation, and, finally
concluding that he has been unnecessarily
polite, marches boldly back and tries to stare
old waxworls out of their countenance.
Taking advantage of this popularity, the
museum manager has put up practical joke
on the public. Upon one of the benches sits
a living young woman dressed in a checked
ulster, derby hat, and, of course, such other
apparel as is required by civilized society.
She holds a pocketbook In her hand and
leans her cheek upon it in very natural way.
Her complexion is sallow, and she is motion
less The visitor, who has been fooled several
times and is determined to display no more
shyness in the presence of dummies, steps up
before the lady, surveys her critically for a
moment and then consults his catalogue He
has difficulty in finding the subject, and when
he looks over the top of the catalogue again
to make sure of the figure, the lady bows
politely and smiles sweetly at him. Then he
looks fustered and foolish, and goes around
during the rest of his visit in a scared, aFpre-
hensive way, scarce daring to take good,
long survey even of the tableau of the last
supper for fear of putting Peter out Of coun-
tenance.-New York Cor. Chicago Herald.

An Election Incident.

An incident of the election in Brool1field is
too good to be lost, and we give it, simply
suppreSsing the names. A hard working
Democrat ON the eve of the election was max
ing a thorough canvass, and called on young
married man to talk over the situation and
secure his vote. He succeeded, and went
away telling him he would be there at 5
O'Clock the next morning with his team to
carry the young man to the polls
The Democrat had scarcely departed when
an enthusiastic Republican went to call on
the same young man. and on a similar errand.
He, too talked over the situation and secured
the vote But as it was late the Republican
thought he would stay all night, and then
early in the morning they would go to the
polls together.
The next morning promptly the Democrat
knocked at the door at o'clock. Here was a
pickle; but the wife Of the young man and
ber mother managed to find a way out nicely.
The old lady responded to the call, and said
I her sonin-law was not up yet. The wife then
shouted out that he could not go until he had
built the fire. The old lady went to the wood
pile and began to split kindlings. The kind
hearted Democrat, in order also TO expedite
matters, offered TO split the wood and build
the fire. OF went his overcoat and to work
he went As the ltindlings were damp it de-
layed him considerably, but he finally ac-
conplished it. He then began to look around
for his-Inan, and behold the bird had flown.
While he was building the fire the Republican
and his man had stolen out of side window,
and were well on their way to the polls.
The Democrat IS still the maddest man in
Brookfield. d.-Danbury Evening News.

RESTING the nin Of Fare.

1 inferred from some casual remarks
dropped by II. Frere, late head cook of the
Astor house, that in many instances the
French name given to dish really meant
very little, and that in most cases fancy
names were sprinkled throughout the menu
according to the chefs ideas of the picturesque
rather than because there was a little more
salt in this dish or a little less pepper in that
At supper given by the French Cooks
society some years ago the menu was as long
as my arm and wholly unintelligible There
were some curioSities, such as elephant steak,
camel roast, ETC., the details of which were
translated into English, but for the rest Of the
programme it was an evaporation. For the
purpose Of testing the matter l determined
with friend, who was with me, to order
Systematically right through the bill of fare,
taking the odd numbers, thus got Nos. l, 8,
5, and so on. Ny friend ordered the con-
coctions set opposite the even numbers, and
we pursued this interesting plan to the end of
the menu We had different walters but we
both got exactly the same things, from
which / infer there was deception somewhere.

Losses to Cattle Companies.

1t is common talk on the cattle range that
no cattle growing company, it matters not
where they Craze their herds, from the Pan
Handle OF Texas to the knees of the Teton,
in Montana, has paid Legitimate dividend
for the past two years. In the cattle mems
club houses, in the eating houses where cow
boys and foremen congregate, in the hotels,
in the cars, around camp fires, everywhere
the talk is the same; now covert and whis-
pered, now open, now alcoholicly bold, but
always the same-that is, that the range has
been stripped of yearling steers to pay the
last dividend, that the range Of certain com
panies are bare of stock excepting cows and
calves, and the men who tell these stories
wink and smile and laugh when they mention
the large sums of money paid for the brands
composing the skeleton herds, and Of the
losses the eastern and foreign investors viii
incur. "We have clinched John Bull and the
eastern dudes, now let 'em buck, d-n 'elnl"
That is the true sentiment Of these wicked,
predatory devils. who have impoverished
hundreds and hundreds of eastern and Eng
lish families. They have reduced old men
and women, Whose life's work was finished,
from comfortable circumstances 10 direful
poverty. They have wrecked the lives of
hundreds of young men. And they openly
exilt in the ruin they have wrought.-Frank
Wil1eson in New York Sun.

The sweetest woman earth has ever seen.

Along their forest pathway arched with green,
And from the fower-fastnesses OUT crept,
To weave new love-spells for my Fancy's Queen

For never once she turned her lovely face
Nor paused, but onward sped toward the spot
Whereon were housed her innocence and grace.
Irested not until learned her name,
And wooed her-aye, and made her mine, Tween!
And now she is a grave and stately dame;
But none the less is she my Fancy's Queen

Imposing on an Expert.

An old California miner told me of an ex-
pert assayer who had avoided every snare.
He had the habit of taking into the mine he
was to test, bags, in which he carefully de-
posted the specimens he found, tying, label
ing and sealing, then carrying them in the
cars to his own home. His reports gained
implicit belief, hence the greater desire to
deceive him. A man once followed him to
the train with $50 and bribed the porter of
the sleeping car, into whose charge the bags
had been committed to leave them with him
for half an hour He then, by meaps Of fine
metallic syringes, injected into the bags GER
tain solutions, chlorides, l think, or gold and
silver, and returned them unopened to the
porter's custody. The assayer, unsuspicious,
tested every sample in bulk to find the
amount of silver and gold, and made very
sanguine report.
On the strength of this the mine was bought
of those whose agent the injector was, and
placed under charge of the assayer. As soon
as work was begun the latter found with
horror that he had been imposed Oh. For
weeks, as my informant told me, he drove
on, with his hair standing on end, determined
to strike some new lead which should justify
his report. At length, much lower down,
be "made a find" which exceeded his first
claim, and then he was satisfied d-Leadville
