Mock Auction of Cigars.

That aged system of Swindling by means of mock auction sales of cigars is still carried on successfully in New York.
 The other day a well-known Southern man entered little place where cigars were being sold by an auctioneer. There were apparently three or four men who were bidding briskly, and as the cigars seemed to be fine, the stranger competed for q choice box, which was knocked down to him for S. Immediately after ward the sale was declared closed.
 The Southerner stepped up to the counter, where apparent customers were receiving parcels, and asked for his box, 1t the same time rendering S5 bill.
 You owe S60," said the cashier se- gerely.
 For what?"
 "These cigars are sold in lots, not by the box"
 But I distinctly bid for one box"
 "You are mistaken"
 "We all bid for lots," declared the customers.
 The Southerner concluded he had bargain anyway, and that his friends would be glad to take such cigars off his hands. He thought that he might, after all, have been bidding under misappre- hension.
 He wrote an order on prominent hotel where he was stay ing for S60, and direct sd that the cigars be sent there. Then he went down town and forgot all about the matter until evening.
 When he returned to the hotel tho clerk said:
 We paid your order, but we know that you have been swindled."
 "Oh, no; the cigars are worth double the money"
 Hook at them and see"
 The package was united, and twelve boxes of the commonest kind of cabbage leaf cigars were exposed to view. The Southerner turned away in intense dis gust.
 Don't give me away" he begged Rather give the cigars away-to the porters-anybody."
 The next day he took policeman to the auction store, vowing vengeance. The place was empty, and he invested another dollar in treats to the official. begging him also in the same disgusted manner:
 Don't give me away."-[New York Tribune.

This Legs Made Stout, and Marrow Chests

 There is profession which many people know nothing of. 1t is that of the man 'Eho models the human figure, but not in lay. He models in cloth.
 An expert in this art can demand arge salary, and is always sure of en- ployment in the large tailoring houses. 4 reporter visited a fashionable uptown tailor to have a talk with one of these artists.
 He was introduced to dapper little Crenchman of about 4j years.
 You have had a large experience Tn your profession, l suppose!' asked she reporter.
 "I have given it my constant study for nearly twenty years, and the more see If it tho less faith have in the common sense of the most of my patrons"
 That's rather a broad assertion to make"
 " Nevertheless it is true and becoming "1ore so every day. You Americans arc if all people the least satisfied with what nature has given you, You are aiways trying to go one better than rature, and instead of trying natural n sans in the way of taking plenty of air lnd muscular exercise, you substitute the pld and corset"
 Will you tell me the latest idea of good figure from dudes standpoint"
 That depends treat deal upon what lhe dude wants,''
 "If he wants a Gnely-developed pair of calves, 1 can supply him. If he lacks breadth of chest, can furnish him with a5 fine a chest as you could wish to sec. Should the deficiency be in the shoulders, can produce pair that Atlas himself would envy. The process Of pro- ducing these is very simple.
 '' But first 1 must inform you that l have nothing to do with tailoring. l simply make cloth coats or pads which answer the same purpose to the tailors as lasts to the shoemaker.
 "To do this it is absolutely necessary to have an accurate idea of the propOr- tions of the customer, otherwise it would lead to a very amusing con- fusion.
 "Once had a customer who wanted to possess a shapely pair of legs. The original ones were sufficiently full for all practical purposes, but he wanted them more full. made some pads for the highs, calves and hips. They were made of fine chamois leather, and when finished they were sewn into the trousers.

Liver Wit eout Bacon.

A four-year old poy, while making a morning call at the house of a neighbor, overheard the servant girl talking em- phatlcaIly to the cat in her endeaYor to get 1t out of the kitchen. Among other things the girl said to the cat was this: ''If you don't get out of this I'll shake the liver out of youw
 This remark struck the listening young ster favorably, and he treasured it up for future use.
 Next morning he chanced to be at this same neighbours, and the smaller mem- bers of the household announced to him that they were going to have liver for breakfast.
 The youngster put two and two to- gether at once, and reached his own conclusions; then, to confirm them, he turned to the girl and asked anxiously:
 Did you shake it out Of the ?"-[St. Albans Messenger

He Gave Her HIs Hand,

The train was slipping along toward Elmira at forty miles an hour. when a passenger came into the smoker and 2alled out:
 Now. gents. there's a woman in the ,ar back there whose case appeals to our Sympathies. She's a poor widow, and just as she got on the train some one picked her pocket of $50. She hasn't one rcd cent to her name, and will be among
 rangers when she gets to Elmira. -ome, now, let's chip in."
 Every man in the car cheerfully con- -rjbuted to the fund-every man but one. He was young man about 25 years old, poorly dressed, and evidently without much money; in fact, he explained:
 Gents, I'm as sorry as anybody can tell you what I'll do. If she isn't over 10, and hasn't got a game leg, or a stiff neck, or a bad breath, I'll marry her as soon as we reach Elmira, and take her right out to my farm"
 Well, come in ard see her and talk the matter over."
 The young man went back to the car with him, and he was favorably im- pressed at first sight, He sat down ard stated hisintentions and circums,AnSaa. and wound up with:
 live bin looking for a wife for year past and haven't found anybody except a cross-eyed gal and a rheumatic widow. If you are agreed we'll be married today"
 The woman said it was pretty sudden, but she guessed it was the best she could do. A purse of S30 was handed her, and as the pair got off at Elmira, hand in hand, the man said to hack man:
 Here you! Drive these two fond hearts to the highest preacher, and drive as if there was tornado coming up be- hind you,"
