TOM BOXERS BLUNDER.
The Man Who Was Ashamed OF
His Calling.

Young Tom Boxer was fool enough
10 be ashamed of his calling. He had
inherited from his maternal grand
father very prosperous and lucrative
tailoring business at the West End.
which he carried on under the old
name of "Pleating & Company" No
excuse whatever can be urged for
Toms weakness, as he came of long
line of honest tradespeople. and he
quite realized that his tailoring busi-
hess was very good thing. But he
was rather good-looking. gentle
man-like young fellow. and the truth
was that his head had been compile tcly
turned through associating during his
holiday-trips. on the Continent and
elsewhere, with persons of superior
social position, who certainly never
suspected that he was tailor. Find
ing that lie was generally taken for a
young professional man, or an officer.
or, at all events, private individual
of fortune, Tom could not resist the
temptation of keeping up the delusion.
until he at length became almost NOR
bidly sensitive Oh the subject Of his
honest and necessary occupation.
When he went away Tor his summer
holiday he always chose some place
where lie was not likely to come across
customers or people who knew him in
town, and laid himself out for making
acq uaintances among persons of 4
higher station in life than his own.
This year he decided to spend his
vacation at the quietly fashionable
watering-place of Southdore, having
run down for the day to reconnolter
and ascertaincd that there was nobody
staying there who would recognize
him. He took rooms at the principal
hotel. brought down his dog-cart and
groom, and couple of horses, and
soon succeeded. on the hotel tenpis-
ground and elsewhere. in getting to
know all the best people.
Among other visitors at Southdore
were a Colonel and Mrs. Vaughan and
their daughter Mabel, the latter re-
remarkably pretty girl. as Tom
thought. The Vaughans were staying
at the Flagstaff Hotel and were evil
IDENTIFY very exclusive and aristocratic-
ally unsociable people. The Colonel
walked on the Parade occasionally
with the old Earl of Piccadilly, who
was also staying at the Flagstaff. but
seemed to hold aloof from everybody
else. 1t was with considerable diff
dence that Tom presumed to scrape
an acquaintance with the Vaughans,
and in doing so he not only scrupu-
lously refrained from mentioning his
occupation. but dropped hints which
were certainly calculated to convey a
widely different impression of his POSI-
ton. However. he contrived to make
himself agreeable to them. and thus
gain the privilege of getting opportu-
mites of ingratiating himself with
Miss Mabel.
This young lady easily captivated
Toms susceptible heart and. as she
soon began to .evince very kindly
feeling toward him. it was not long be-
fore he realizet. the awkwardness of

CHANDIER'S PLAN.
The New Hampshire Senator Holsts the
Sanguine Garment.

Sauguine Garment.
On the alleged ground that Repub-
tican votes are suppressed in those
States, Senator Chandler has intro
duced bill to regulate the holding of
Congressional elections in South Caro-
lima, Florida, Mississippi and louisiana
The bill provides for the appointment
by the President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, Of four supervis-
ors of elections for each Congressional
district IN the States to which the
measure applies, who are required to
sub-divide the districts into sufficient
number of voting precincts. In each
precinct the Circuit Court of the United
States is to appoint four inspectors
and two poll clerks. who are to make
regis tration of the voters and con-
duct Congressional elections. The
supervisors are to act as canvass
ing board to receive the returns from
the inspectors and ascertain and de-
clare the result of the election. The
supervisors. inspectors and poll clerks
are to be divided equally between the
two principal political parties. Al
though Mr.. Chandler declares this
measure to be in harmony with the
constitution, the circumstance that it
is special and not general in its scope
suggests the contrary. But be it con-
stitutional or otherwise, it will not
pass. and Chandler does not expect it
to pass. 1t is introduced for the sole
purpose of creating a discussion and
enabling the Republican Senators to
make speeches which can be used by
Republican stump orators in the Presi-
Dental campaign. This is its aim and
object, and it is entirely worthy of its
author, for Chandler is nothing if not
partisan demagogue. But his
scheme will hardly avail his party.
The American people are tired of sec
tional issues, and if the Republicans
would win they must march another
banner than the bloody shirt.-DubnQue
