been left at the door for her. Being occupied at
the time the lady told the servant to open the

been ordered but forgotten at the time the

A STORY published not long ago that Con-
gresham William Z. Scott, of Erie, was once a
fish peddler. An old and distinguished citizen
of Mr.. SCOTS town says it is not true. The
Democratic boss of Pennsylvania. who smokes
cigars that cost only ST. 40 apiece, began his ca

MR. CRAwLEY an6 Miss KITTY, for q long time
the commanding attraction of the Central PARKS
menagerie. have rivals in the public es-
TEEN. The rivals Mr.. Caliph and Miss
Murphy. the hippopotaml of the park, and
thousands of New Workers went out in the
bright spring sunshine Sunday to see the big
animals. Mr. Caliph is considerable heavier
and more imposing in grth than Miss Murphy,
the female hippopotamus, but he does not begin

comedy mate. In some respects he is the
Chesterfield of the whole menagerie, and
Murphy's disposition to resent his sentimental
advances show merely the personal pique of
somewhat giddy female. but that il will diSap-
pear when she discovers what really polished
and agreeable companion Caliph is They are

tank and cage being built IN the open air.

I SEE sweet Alice DER the way,
Why does she veil her face to-day?

That snowy brow, that face fair,
From clouds of dust that fill the air.
She'll wear that veil without doubt
