A Ghost with Goggles.

Some Austin amateurs gave n perform
ance of Hamlet" one day last week.
Gus De Smith was Hamlet. The day after
the performance KOsciusko Murphy met
Gus and asked:
How did the performance come off last
night?"
Everybody did well except old Judge
Pennybunker. I'll be dog-g oned if he goes
on the stage with me any more. I'll take
HIM and tie him on the railroad track and
let the cars run over him before he shall
play Ghost to my Hamlet any more"
WAS he the Ghost2"
Yes. and the blooming old idiot stalked
across the stage with his spectacles on.
You bet he made a circus of the whole
show. If ever there was q melancholy
Dane L was one. l haven't got over it.
And the old craven image says he put on
his specs to add to the solemnity of the
scene. Texas Siftings.

New York Letter: Say four hundred
thousand out of the fourteen hundred
thousand people in New York know how
much there is in Central Park. 1t has
taken many visits and many delightful
hours in that green retreat 10 learn. Like
Col. Sellers's eyewateT, the more you go the
more You want 10 go. The other million
knew that there Is such a place. and they
have vague impression that the Mall Is
made Tor nurses and their beaus, and the
lake for lovers and their ladies. But be-
yond this the place might as well be in
Patagonia so far as any personal
knowledge is concerned. Even those
thousands who habitually Afrequent the
Park know little of the bride paths and
the quiet retreat for equestrians, the get
ting-off places, where he has an opportun-
ity to hold her dainty little boot for mo-
ment in his hand, and the two or three
places where riders stop to take refresh
ing stirrup cup. You must have saddle
horse to appreciate the delights of the park
as fully as the young lady I'm the picture
does. When our artist caught" her just as
she sits shs was lettering slowly, keeping
sharp lookout for an expected rider and
listening for the sound of hoofs that would
send the red blood up through her cheeks
and set her heart TO beating an imprisoned
tattoo. The discreet groom was hidden by
turn in the leafy road. The picture was
barely finished, when she gave her horse a
sharp cut and cantered carelessly up the
path. A minute later young man with a
rose in his coat went by in the same direc-
ton at gallop.

How the Little Game IL Played I'm

swell London society.
A very clever mode, by means OF which
good deal OF money has been won, has
just been discovered. Mr.. X. is a member
OF several of the West End clubs and at one
OF them he gambled freely.
Generally he lost, but he had habit OF
inviting friend TO dinner at his rooms.
where ne would meet a most respectaDie-
looking old gentlemen, who beamed De-
neyolence through gold-rimmed spectacies.
The grave and reverend signior was intro
duced-occasionally as an admiral, Occa-
slonaly as general, and occasionally as an
eminent merchant.
After dinner a little play would be pro-
posed, at which Mr.. X. would lose, out the
man with the spectacles would win. ms

Some time ago. however, Mr. X. asked
friend 10 dine with him at Boobies. On
the friend going there he found a note say
Ing that Mr.. X. had so bad cold that he
could not 20 out, and that the dinner would
be at his rooms. He met the specialized
man, who was introduced TO him as a gen.
eral, and when the dinner was over the
three sat down to cards, when the fIiend
lost 81, 100.
The following day the friend met friend
in ST. James street. They commenced talk
ing, when friend No. contided to friend
No. that he was In bad spirits. because he
had the night before lost several hundred
pounds at Mr.. r. rooms.

general, and he had wonderful luck"
Upon comparing notes they came to the
conclusion that the general and the admiral
were one and the same person. So they
went to Mr.. X. and insisted upon his re-
turning TO them their money, which he.
after some demur, did.-Truth.

Ny Dear Dorothy: You will raise YOUR
hands in wOnderment when you hear that
l can tell you no gossip; that is, no gossip
of New York, because l have been in Phll-
delphia for a week. The surprised look on
your face is easily imagined, but really, you
see, Dolly, it is Lent, and. after all. one
must do something in the way of penance.
This season has been very interesting be-
cause ] belong to so many clubS-thoSe
where we make shirts for INDECENT females
tor indgeut husbands to wear. l supposed,
those where we improve our knowledge OF
German, and few where we absolutely
confess to talking scandal. These are nat
ural Lenten affairs, but because my sins
have to a certain extent found me out
Jack and L had quarrel about mllllners
bin, it seemed wise for me to regret every
thing, ponder upon the blessing of living in
New DIRK, and humble my soul by going
to the city of
RED PAYMENTS AND BLUE BLOOD.
How awfully indignant, Dolly, the girls
there are when you suggest that their city
is provincial! Yet it is. Why, the other
day in large shop absolutely heard one
of the clerks telling his customer that sash
could be worn in q certain way for awhile,
and then ''why not make it over with your
last seasons silk?'' Imagine the fraternal
feeling! Entire nous it seems as if there
were great deal of getting too much wine
among the set. They deny it emphatically,
but dear, it is quite plain. Whether New
York women can stand more or not l can
not say, but certainly it shows very quickly
on the women of PENIS city. A story is
told of the daughter of DR.. Glitter-that
very smart looking one whose husband has
sent her home twice for her misbehavior.
Some young fellow knew she was quite APP
proachable, and, after dinner, began to
make love to her in a corner of the draw
ing-room. where the screens made it quite
dark. He rhapsodized. he quoted. he grew
very daring. said most audacious things
without there being any sign of objection
on her part Once he heard slight noise

the lace was all around. did not know
but certainly it seemed to me that an ivory
bedstead would be proper for such cover.
The woman said that the room is lined
with mirrors, so that the waking beauty
sees herself. / wonder whether she will
have dreams of love and beauty, or if the
head resting there will ever ache? Jack
says 'Bosh! if she makes donkey of her
self, of course her head will aches" that all
the satin covers in the world would not
stop that, and just as long as
CHAMPAGNE Is ADULTERATED,
just so long will beggar and millionaire
alike suffer from headache. There was no
use in my saying that beggars did not get
champagne, for Jack is in such bad HUI
NOR that he is quite capable of proving to
me by an hours reasoning that in some way
or other they do. And L can be reasoned
into believing anything when Jacks out of
temper. What crowns of glory are due to
women! Will grateful republic ever rec
ognize this, do you suppose? They might
under Democratic president, but it would
be manlike to either give you an unbecOm-
ing crown or else hamper the gift by max
ing it necessary for you to reach a certain
age before you assumed it. Imagine wear
ing crown that would tell Immediately
that you were 45! OH Dolly, let us hope
that if the law ever does pass. it will not
be one of obligation, for you would not care
10 be 40, nor would Bah.

GIRLS, HERES YOUR CHANCE

oh. the kind OF girl for me
Is the girl with the dark brown hair,
or medium height and medium weight,
With face more than medium fair
And she must be rounded in form;
Her eyes must be violet blue:
A number i've glove must cover her hand,
And her boots must be number two.
Her teeth must be pure, pearly white,
All her movements be fun of grace;
She must be able to dance like a fay,
Not knowing Jack from an ace.
Her age must be just eighteen,
Though six months more wouldn't hurt,)
She must know how To cook mince pies,
And mustn't know how to firt
But she must know how to sew,
And shovel the snow from the walk;t
She must sing like Jenny LiRd,
And never know how to talk.
She must be able TO paint,
And to build the fire at morn;
To rake the furnace at night,
And mend my clothes when torn.
That's all / want in a girl
| do not care for cash
1 want a girl to love me,
To be my lifelong mash
And what do give in return?
A young man of twenty-four,
Whose social position is fne
Who's worth million or more.
His heavy mustache is quite brown;
Also his liquid-like eyes;
He's neither too tall nor too short
In fact, girls, he's just your size.

The Dude, the Butterfly Dude, is On

The bright warm weather of the past few
days, followed by copious showers, and
again by sunshine, has turned the faded
grass plats into verdant green, and has
started the budding of the foliage on the
shade trees. 1t has also brough'out in the

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.

A man in debt
No rest will gebt
Until he's in the tomb.
His cares will weigh
So heavy theigk
Will shroud his life with glomb.
He'll practice guile;
And never smile;
His head with pain will ache:
He'll grieve and sigh
And want to digh
And thus his trouble shache.
But owing none
He'll have more fone
Than any king that reigns;
He'll feel benign;
His health is flgn
And he long life atteigns.
without a doubt
All can keep oubt
OF debt il only they
VIII never buy
To please the Guy
And cash down always pay.

The cut given here has a moral. The

When Mrs. Wilfer drove in carriage to
see Silas Wegg's patron. Mr.. Boffin, her
daughter gently advised her not to sit bolt
upright, but to loll. That is what the
young lady in the picture is doing. She is
lolling. The Princess Louise always lOlls
and our friend of the picture takes as nat
urally after the princess as the Irishman
does to politics. She represents distinct
class of girls who drive out. There Is the
dog-cart class of girls-light, volatile,
jolly; and the no-dog-cart class-digni-
fed. quiet, reserved. The lady who Tolls
usually teaches class in Sunday school and
likes to be associated with Mrs. Astor on
charitable committees and in soup kitchens
and that sort of thing. The only drawback
TO lolling is that people, especially those
who loll. are apt to grow stout after they
pass the 30th milestone in their drive
through life. But the artist, who claims TO
know all about beautiful women, says it is
only that kind that can afford to lol and
cites the picture in evidence.
