An Object Lesson for the Clerk.
From the Chicago Tribune

from the Chicago Tribune.
A guest about to leave Washing
ton hotel the other day found an item
charged on his bill of $21 for six
quarts of champagne. He had been
at the hotel for six days and had
drank a pint of champagne each day
at dinner. This was the manner in
which he proceeded to have the error
corrected: After having packed his
trunk, keeping out g. sufficient number
of articles to fill to the bursting point
a small handbag, he packed the bag,
and, with that in one hand and q pair
Of heavy hunting boots in the other,
went down to the Office and asked for
the bill clerk. When that functionary
appeared the following conversation
ensued:
Guest-Mr. Blank, will you do me
the favor to put these boots in that
bag?
Clerk-Why, what do you mean
Why don't you put 'em in yourself?
Guest-To tell you the truth, I can't
get 'em in.
Clerk-Then how do you expect me
to get 'em in?
Guest-Well, I don't know; but you
got six quarts of champagne into six
pint bottles, so thought you might
be able to get those boots into that
bag.
The clerk went behind the returns
and corrected the bill.

Painting the Town Red.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.]
At this late day another origin for
the expression, painting it red, is CIV
en-. Back in the SOS racing was one of
the exciting features of Mississippi
River travel, and when an opportuni-
ty offered for trial of speed all hands
were breathless with excitement. The
first command from the captain would
be: "Paint her red, boysF" which
was river slang for filling the fre-box
with rosin in order to create quick,
hot fire, at which time the fre-box
would be thrown open. Then, if the
night were dark, the effect was simply
grand. AS far ahead as the eye could
see the river would be deep red from
reflection, forming a most beautiful
picture, which, once seen, could never
be forgotten. 1t was at that time that
the expression, Paint the town red, !"
originated, as the old steamboatmen
intended to convey the idea by its use
that they would have a beautiful time
en- arrival ar their destination.

A WAITING WIFE.
BY M. NJ. "a.

Westward, ~ sunsets splendor fills the sky.
Eastward. the rose flushed ocean turns to
gray;
Merry loungers pace the sands hard by,
And mark the splendor of the dying day.
Their glance turns upward to a beetling bluff
Where, looking out to sea. "a woman stands;
A fishers wife in gown OF simple stuff,
Her bent brows shaded by her toilworn
hands,
No glance has she for sunsets fair detail
Why goes her gaze across the darkening SEAL
Fears she the safety OF the single sail
Fitting before tne south wind fresh and free
But gentle Is the sea and calm the sky,
And lSsnguidly the slow waves rise in tune;
One lone bright star, a single watchful eye,
Awaits the coming of the silver moon.
what reck these fsher-folk Of sunsets rare,
The merry loungers said, ''or beauteous day
Like yonder woman idly gazing there,
They turn their backs to gold and view the
gray -
So, testing spoke they of the waiting WIFE,
Then passed her by, her faithful watch TO
keep.
They could not know it held her best of life,
That little boat alone upon the deep.

How They Work 1t.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
They were telling what one another
did under given circumstances, as
women do. | think the staple Of con-
versation between women is what
they do, and when their husbands, or
their brothers, or their mothers, or
their fathers do so and so, OR say SO
and so. "I Just" and so on, don't
you know? If it isn't that kind of
thing, it is what they're going to do.
Woman is verb active. They were
explaining the idiosyncrasies OF their
husbands, and how they received the
household money and what they did
with it. Perhaps there were reserva-
tions of mental kind. Women al
ways make mental reservations when
they say anything. When q woman
tells a man she loves him there's gen.
orally a proviso in her mind which
leaves her free to explain why she was
not to be taken at her word. No logl-
clan of the male sex can split finer
hair in an argument than g. plain, in
nocent, unsophisticated woman. Her
simple distinctions are inscrutable,
but can't she stretch the meaning OF
the language and make words embrace
everything she wants to?
"My husband always gives me my
money once q week you know" said
one little blonde woman, with an ex-
preston of guilelessness on her face
that would deceive a professional
mind-reader; "but he used some
times to get short next day and take
it back"
swell, you could put it in your
bureau"
"He'd rummage everywhere till he
found it; but I got the best of him, and
now he never can find it."
"Where do you put it ?"
81 put it in his coat pocket when he
comes home and take it out before he
goes out"
"Well," said another, 81 used to try
and be economical, but I don't any
more"
"Why?"
"It was all right for awhile. And
one night | grew very loving and con-
fdential, and showed him all the bills.
and how I had saved $50 one week"
"Well!"
"Next week he gave me $40 less,
and I wouldn't have it, and he
wouldn't give me any more, and at
Christmas gave him g. 5O-cent scarf,
and told him that was all l could af
ford, and he didn't like that, SO he

Married in the Park.

Frank B. Graham and Lottie Pei
lagrini of Atlanta wanted to marry,
but her parents said "No." So Frank
and Lottie went to the park and sat
down and waited until friend brought
a Clergyman. Then, not rising, for
fear of attracting the attention of the
many passing pedestrians, they joined
hands, the ceremony WAS performed,
the minister gave them some good ad-
vice and walked away, and the bride
went to her home and the groom to
his. Three or four days later Lottie's
parents heard of all this and told her
to bring her husband home and be
just as happy as she could be.

A Very Curious Story Indeed.
From a Portland (Me.) Special !,

From a Portland (Me.) Special -.
There is a. very curious story told IN
connection with former holder OF
stock in Mr.. Gould's bank. He has q
lady friend who is an excellent reader
of character and possesses something
of the power of second sight. While
out walking with her one evening they
met Mr.. Gould, who acknowledged the
gentleman's bow very ostentatiously.
The lady took a'good square look at
him, and after he had passed, asked
who he was, and was told that he was
William E. Gould, one of Portland 8
solid men, and the ablest tnancler IN
the place. She asked what bank he
was connected with, and if her friend
owned any stock in the institution.
HIS replied that he owned thirteen
shares. She told him to sell them BIS
soon as he could, for Mr.. Gould was
a bad man., and something was going
to happen to the First National Bank
from his management. This so im-
pressed the gentleman that he deter
mined to sell his stock, and did sell it.
This was in May last. He was asked
why he did it, and told his reason,
and begged his broker not to laugh at
him for his foolishness. The story
was circulated among q Jew friends,
who remarked that ''it would be very
funny if Gould should turn out g. de-
faulter sometime" He did turn out q
defaulter, and the gentleman does not
think he was so foolish after all to
heed the advice of his lady friend,
whose prediction saved him considera-
BILE money.
