The Wrong Letter.

The young lady typewriter has
grown to be a recognized commercial
institution, and Chicago business men
have become quite as well accustomed
to her good qualities IS 10 her eccen-
tricities. AS general thing she
is an excellent little creature, Bent
on earning her salary and giving
satisfaction to her employer. If she is
little inclined to be sportiye or friv-
olous at times it is usually set down
to her overflow of youthful enthu-
siasm and she does not find 1t hard
to procure forgiveness for the HARM
less pleasantries she may see fit to
perpetrate around the Office. A legal
friend OF mine, whose Websterian elO-
aueRce Is feature of every court OF
consequence in the country, some six
months ago engaged young lady
typewriter, who for occurrences and
conscientious devotion to her daily
labors can not be duplicated in the
town. My legal FRIEND who, by the
way, is mature gentleman of intense
dignity of department, has lady client
who for many years past he has been
IN the habit of addressing, in his
correspondence, as my dear Minnie"
The course of business calls for letter
to this client about once q week, and
the .epistle is always composed in the
dryest legal vein, the sole redeeming
feature of which is the opening line.
My friend had occasion a couple of
days ago to refer to one of these letters,
and he politely requested the young
woman to bring him the letter-copy-
ing book, which by the way, it was one
of her duties to index. She did so, and
my friend turned to the letter of the
alphabet with which the surname of
the client in question began, but
searched in vain for any reference to
the epistle. ''How is this, Miss-?''
he inquired, adjusting his glasses anew,
miss ks letter don't appear to be
indexed. The young lady glanced up,
hesitated and responded,
Eyes, sir; you'll find them in the MS"
'ln the what?n repeated my friend, in
a mystified fashion, but he turned to
the Ms, ran his finger down the page
and stopped breathlessly on encounter
ing this line: Minnie Dear, pages 2,
s, 16, 80, 60, 81" and so on. The de-
mure young typewriter's face was
scarlet by this time, and to this day
my legal friend doesn't know whether
she was guying him or not. But his
letters to Minnie now commence ,"My

About Hunchbacks.

An old doctor says: have practio-
ed medicine and surgery for forty years
and do not recall disease or case of
any particular kind that has not come
under nay observation. But one thing
that have made sort of study in the
way of close observation is the striking
resemblance to each other of what Is
commonly called the hunchback. 1t
does nat take close observer to see
that they all look alike in the face,
more so, even. than if they were full
brothers. There is something strange
about this resemblance, yet it is al due
to that physical condition. About 50
out of 100 are SO nearly alike that 4

1t Proved to BE a Winning Tip.

The following story, told by the
Louisville Courier-Journal on Major
Ed Hughes, the popular Chief of the
Fire Department Of that city, and one
of the best posted men in Kentucky on
turf matters, illustrates how little we'll
posted men actually know about the
relative abilities of race horses: Since
an event on the turf several years ago
Maj. Hughes has invariably refused to
give even his best friend ''tip' on a
race. Several years ago during a
spring meeting at Churchill Downs,
Abraham Isaacs, New York member
of the ''shoestring'' contingent of the
sporting element, came out from the
East and went broke on the races dur
ing the first few days. He was per-
sistent in his search for ''tips" and
made Maj. Hughes life a burden.
Finally one day the Major decided to
"choke OFF, the would-be sport and
confided to his friends his plan. He
called Isaacs down the quarter stretch,
and in hoarse and mysterious whisper
asked:
''How much money have you got?"
II have $23, but l can borrow $40
more,h was the answer.
''Then," said the Major, II can put
you on to something good. Mamie I.
is in this race at $75 to 81. She is q
world-beater and this is her first race
The talent amt on to her and am the
only man backing the mare. Great
tip. Pawn your watch and put every
cent you can rake and scrape together
on it.
Issacs pondered over the advice,
looked over the horses, and put $33 on
the Majors tip at $75 to 81. The Major
was interested in the favorite to the
extent of 5000, and he chuckled when
he told his friends how he had put up
the job on Isaacs. When the horses
got off Mamie T. took the lead and was
never headed. Isaacs had the only
book ticket on her and collected $2,518.
"Well, am a dead Jonah to myself
mused the Major as he went over to
strike Isaacs for suit of clothes. The
plunger, however, had disappeared
and Maj Hughes has never seen him
since.

The courtroom was crowded with

gazed at him tearfully and lovingly;
but Mr.. Mouser was very much cast

A Miss.

A Miss.
We saw her tripping down the village streets
A vision fair that brighter made the day
Beneath a snowy skirt her dainty feet
Played hide and seek in quite q charming
way.
The maid was costumed in the latest style;
Her hustle was the regular size;
Her lips were parted with a winning smile
And mischief sparkled in her bright blue
eyes.
Her cheeks were glowing like the crimson
That tints the skies when Sol sinks in the
west:
Between her coral lips cleaned teeth as white
AS foam that flashes on the billow's crest.
She neared us and our hearts went pit-a-pat;
She passed us with pretty, conscious air;
And then we noticed that her dainty hat
was perched on massive coils of rich red
hair.
Up street and down we gazed with eager eyes
AS disappeared from view the vision bright;
Then at each other stared in dumb surprise;
1t was miss: no white horse hove In sight.
