Improved en- Her Mothers Manage
nlant.
From the san francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
She had reached that enticing age when young
fellows in their best clothes were dropping into
the parlor evenings and entertaining her mother
with small talk Of the downtown circles There
were little baskets OF flowers coming to the
house, and unconsequential messages being
brought BIZ her brother. There was an excited
interest shown by several young men of Sympa-
thetic nature in her health. and it was extraor-
binary how many times she had to bow from
the dress circle of the theater. Her brother
was becoming very popular, and he had dozen
pressing intimate friends who couldn't live
without him. Indeed, he came home tri1e
elated once or twice, and admitted it hadn't
cost him anything but they had drank his Sis
terS health several times
And so her mother, feeling that the end was
near, began to prepare her for higher life in
that world where two people of contrary dispo-
Stion have to fight it out as one. The mother
handed over the entire management of the
house to her daughter, who was naturally very
proud of the responsibility. There were eight
people of average appetite to cater for, and the
very first thing the young lady discovered was
that her mother had been frightfully extrava-
CANT. She had not gone far before she saw that
She could keep up better table at far less ex-
pense than her respected parent.
OF course she did not demand all the fish in
the market, but she knew that her mother had
shown reprehenSible taste in buying ordinary
common fish, when she got such delicious things
as pomponnot at the little dinners the young
men had occasionally got up for small theater
parties. so she made up her mind She,WOuld
simply aStonish the old lady and educate her at
the same time. She marched down 10 the fish
mongers.
Have you any pomponnot?" she asked, very
Importantly.
Yes, certainly"
81 want two pounds of pomponnot, please. -
Yes, miss I'll send 1t up right away"
The tishmonger proceeded to weigh out the
necessary fish. She watched him. Suddenly
it occurred to her
How much is pomponnOt nOw?"
Two dollars and a half pound miss"
A pale maiden stood gazing blankly at him
We'll you can make it two bits worth of
tomcod."

She Realized Her Reward.

From the Cincinnati Times.
Pots had just returned from an extended trim
abroad and was making his first call upon a
young lady friend
MY gracious, Miss Jennie, how you have
changed! Why, you are mere shadow of your
former self Aren't you well?"
well, no, Mr.. Potts. You see, shortly fter
your departure joined the cooking school, and
there we are obliged to sample everything that

At the Play.

Katharine Phillips Williams, an Harper's
Weekly.
A pretty comedy of love tonight,
And all the house is gay with flowers and light;
There is a hint of passion in the plot,
OF love that's lightly won and soon forgot
An old, old play.
But, ali my lady, though you sit and smile,
see your eyes steal, dark ming all the while
To where brown head bends above a gold
With all the grace it bent DER yours o. old,
When at the pay.
The scene goes on, with music and the dance,
But still she marks, with sidelong furtive
glance,
How tenderly he bends him down to say
Some earnest words in Just the sweet old way
1t is the play.
Her heart-beats stir the filmy fall of lace;
She lifts her fan athwart her palng face
And turns to answer merry Jest with lest
With all the while a strange weight on her
breast
A bitter play.
The curtain falls; the comedy is done;
The music fades; the lights die, one by one;
My lady sees with what protecting care
Do strong hands wrap a slight form from the
air
After the play.
Within her weary eyes dull fire burns.
Yet smiles she still as TO TO her friend she
turns;
And why her lips are white he cannot guess,
Nor why her small hands tremble So-uness
Too long the play

SHAVED BY A BULLET.
How General Had HIS Mustache Cut
Off Without a Razor.


Off Without a Razor.
The following incident is narrated by an officer
on the staff of Gen. j. e. B. Stuart of the con-
federate army. The operation was a neat one,
but most men would rather be shaved with
razor than with a bullet:
Gen. Stuart az usual, greatly exposed his
own person on horseback by riding out of the
wood into the open field and felt it my duty
to say to him that in my opinion he was not in
his proper place in few minutes the whole
fire Of the enemy would be concentrated upon
him.
But he was in very bad humor, and answered
CURLY that if this place seemed likely to be-
come too hot for me, was at liberty to leave
it; whereupon made response that since my
duty attached me to his side, no place could be
too hot for me where he chose TO go.
Nevertheless | changed my position, and
cautiously brought a large tree, in front OF
which had been standing, between myself and
the enemy.
In an instant the firing began, and three bull
let's struck the tree at Just the hight TO show
that had remained where l was, they would
certainly have gone through my body. Look
ing at Stuart saw him pass his hand quickly
across his face, and even at that serious
moment l could not help laughing heartily
when discovered that one of the numbereSs
bullets that had been whistling round him had
cut off half OF his beloved moustache as neatly
as it could have been done by the hand of an
experienced barber.

The Chicago Inter. Ocean, Indignantly
republican newspaper, has It's doubts about
the republicans carrying Illinois next fall.
1t is afraid the democrats will get enough
Of the floating vote TO elect their ticket and
TO secure a majority in the Legislature, and
thus elect democratic successor to Senator
Cullom. The floating vote, however, is not
the only hope of the democrats in Illinois.
Men who hitherto have been firm repub-
licans are turning to the democratic party
for relief from the oppressive tariff burden.
One Of these is Hon. Lorenzo d. Whiting,
who for eighteen years has been state
senator and a republican. Mr.. Whiting is
man of pronounced ability, and he will
lend his talents to the election Of Cleveland
and Thurman.

A committee Of the citizens of Charleston
appealed to the general managers Of the
Atlantic Coast line railroad and the Plant
system month or so ago to run all their
trains into Charleston, instead of running
the most important ones around by Ashley
junction. The ground of the appeal was
that Charleston was injured by being de-
prlved of the principal trains because she
was not afforded asgood sleeping and palace
car accommodations as she was entitled to
and because tourists were KEEP away from
her.
The general managers have considered
the appeal, and do not give Charleston much
reason to expect that it will be granted at
present. They point out that Charleston
herself is responsible for Ashley junction.
and not the railroads, and while they do
not state this fact with ghouish glee, there
is a suspicion that something akin to n
smile was visible on their faces when thew
Incorporated it in their reply to the CON-
mittee. They further state that Charleston
now has the advantage of all the through
trains, except the vestibule trains, and in
innate that these latter trains can do her no
good until she builds hotel that will
attract tourists. They also say that they
are bound to get travellers and mails to their
destination as quickly as possible, and that
to run into Charleston would cause a loss of
time
The arguments of the general managers
appear to be so convincing to them that
there does not appear to be much proba-
bility that Charleston will see the fast vesti.
bule trains yet awhile. What the future
holds in store for her is a matter of con-
lecture. The general managers hint quite
gently, that if she builds fine hotel, such a
one as will draw a large number of visitors
to her, they may consider the advisability
of granting her excursion rates, and of Civ
ing her the benefit of all their trains. Until
the hotel is built, however, Charleston will
have to be as happy as she can with her
present railroad accommodation;

The republicans some time ago expressed
the opinion that If Mr.. Cleveland were re-
nominated he would veto fewer pension bills.
They were mistaken. Mr.. Cleveland does
not veto private pension bills because he
is opposed to such bills, or because he wants
TO impress the country with the idea that he
is carefully inquiring into all bills which
are presented to him, but because he is
bound to veto them if he does his duty. He
would like every veteran who is entitled to
pension to have it.
A few days ago, in returning a special
pension bill to congress, with his veto. the
President, after showing that the proposed
pensioner is not entitled to aid from the
government, suggested the revision of
the pension laws, with view TO meeting
every meritorious case that might arise,
and, of course, of debarring from pensions
all persons who are not entitled to them
~ have, said he, considered the pension
list of the republic roll of honor, bearing
names inscribed by national gratitude and
not by improvident aud indiscriminate
almsgiving." This sentiment cannot
fail to commend itself TO all
self-respecting veterans, to whom the Presi-
dent can render no greater service than by
preventing the discredit which must ensne
from the unreasonable, unfair and reckless
granting of pensions by special acts" The
Presidents position with regard to pensions
is fully and forcibly set forth in these ex-
tracts. 1t is a position to which he will
adhere, and upon which he can afford to 60
before the country. Deserving veterans
will uphold him, because he will reward
them fully for their services, and because
he will fearlessly protect their roll of honor
from the designs of pension agents and un-
deserving mansion claimants

John Keenan,, a New York boodler who

concerning the causes that led to his en-
forced residence there. In published letter
from him the other day, he is at great
pains to say that he went to Canada on the
advice of his physician, and has remained
there because Of business transactions in
which he is engaged. No doubt Canada is
the most healthful place Keenan, can live
in, and it will be well for him if his bust
ness transactions keep him away from New
York several years longer.
