vice of his friends who could not understand
what was the matter, insisted on resuming play.
Still his eyes were fixed on the chastity rim OF

played his cards as careessly.

The guest covered the horrible eyes on the

He seized an old dagger from where it hung
on the wall Before any OF his guests could ir-

The blood yelling up in his throat choked

The "Naked" Truth.

New York Letter in Boston Gazette.
Society is very much aroused over the ap-
pearance of a certain well-known lady at her box
in the Metropolitan Opera house the other night.
She wore her dress very low in the neck, and
with simple straps across the shoulders and the
color Of her waist material she got as near
flesh tint as could be found. so that at little
distance it was impossible to see any dividing
line. AS she sat in her box the effect was
startling, and every opera-glass in the house was
leveled at her. while the men in the audience
who knew her FASTENED, between the acts, as a
committee of investigation, to see what it
was that she had on or had off, The
effect produced by her dressing was exactly what
she wanted and yet she is young woman, a
married woman. a mother, and not an immodest
woman. If man should accidentally see her
with the waist of her dress off. though she wore
a high-necked underwaist, she would be ready
to faint; and yet she would sit in her box at the
opera showing as much of her flesh as she dared,
and with the avowed intention Of looking as
though she was undressed. [ do not know what
it is that makes women do these things, unless
it ia the love for social notoriety. They seem to-
want to do some thing to break the monotony of
ordinary social life. and rack their poor brains
for some novelty in dress or some eccentricity
that will make them more talked about than
their friends.

The Philosopher.

In building up natur' he thought the Creator
Had Numbered unspeakably queer,
And he said he and Darwin and Billy McVarren
Could prove the whole thing out of gear;
He said the whole pattern from Neptune to Saturn
Was cut by a bungling design,
And that particular was plumb perpendicular
And exact every time to the line.
He said that no critic, with brain analytic,
Could tolerate things that he saw
He said he would suffer il any old duffer
Couldn't pick out bemish or flaw.
Any man with Uranium big as geranium
Could see the whole thing was botch.
See where nature had Numbered in points by the
hundrd,
In the space of five ticks of his watch.
And so daily and nightly he advised the Almighty
With advice he believed of great worth,
And his wife took in sewing to keep life agong
While he superintendent the earth.

His Wedding Journey.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A young New York business man was married
to St Paul lady. last week, who had but five
days leave of absence from his business in which
to reach ST. Paul. take part in the marriage cere-
money and return to the metropolis. Of course
he had no time to fool away on the journey.
His train. the Michigan Southern, was late in
reaching Chicago and the groom became appre-
hensive that he might miss the connecting train
on the Rock Island. He consulted the conductor.
and, at the latters instance, telegraphed to the
conductor on the Rock Island road to hold his
train. The conductor added in the dispatch that
the sender was to be married in ST. Paul
on the following night, and therefore must catch
that train or miss the ceremony. The Rock
Island was held sixty minutes, when the Michi-
gan Southern pulled into the depot The com
ductor of the former, as the passengers alighted
from the cars, exclaimed "Wheres the man
who wants to get marriedF 'Here am" re-
piled the groom-elect, as he rushed to the front
He was hurried over to the Rock Island train,
and, as soon as he was aboard with his baggage,
the conductor started the train without giving
the other late passengers chance to make tho
transfer. The New York man arrived in st.
Paul on time. The marriage was celebrated.
and he and his bride now in New York. lucy
returned by the Rock Island route.

How Women Wash Their Faces.

A woman was in disguise and was fleeing from
some crime she had committed. She was travel
ing in a stage coach, and stopped at country
inn. The travellers alighted. and the supposed
man got out with the others. All went to the
wash shelf at the end of the porch. man was
sitting leaning against the post of the porch. He
was watching the woman in disguise as she
washed her face and hands, and when she was
done at once arrested her. He discovered her
sex by her manner of applying the water in
washing her face. All men rub up and down
and snort. All women apply the water and
stroke gently downward.
