A Dog. Ride Down a Plume.

Barney Cusick, when he came down
from the mountains about a month
ago, left his dog Nero at the mills. The
dog was the constant companion of
the children in the Summer during
their rambles over the hills, as well as
at home, and they missed their four
footed playmate. Mr.. Cusick accord
ingly wrote to the boys at the mill to
send the dog down as soon as possible.
Not wishing to wait a week or so for
the stage, the men built raft and on
top of il made large box and placed
some hay in the bottom. Nero was
put in, and the raft started on its forty
mile trip. Mr.. Cusick was telephoned,
and three hours after the starting OF
the raft, took the dog safe and sound
from the iume, and last night he was
again at home with his little friends

Married Men Preferred.

Tie railroad companies, as a rule,
generally perfer that their conductors
should be men of family, for the two
fold reason that they are more easily
located when wanted, and, again, for
the influence for good that loving
wife and affectionate children may
have over him. " A man will often
hesitate before doing wrong which
might send him TO the penitentiary
when he has wife and children at
home TO look after and care for" re-
marked a railroad Superintendent
yesterday. This led him TO say that
the iatigues Of a long run made the
conductor anxious for the peace and
quiet Of home, and when they have
one they can nearly always be found
at it.
Conductors dissipate very little now
aday. The man who drinks, even
when off duty, is not the proper per-
son 10 intrust with the lives of great
number of people. 1t is rare thing
to see one OF them in bar room, and
if seen there he does not tarry long.
One of the oldest and most popular
conductors of st. Louis is at present
lying off, with no prospect OF securing
a job again soon. He has been rest
ing for a year. When the Superin-
tendent under whom he worked was
asked the reason for this enforced idle
ness, he candidly answered that there
was nothing against the man except his
failing OF taking an occasional drink.
The company could not afford to en-
ploy men who tippled for such re-
sponsible work when there were so
many good and temperate men anx-
ious to fill the same positions.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

How She swindlcd servants.

Dwellers in the st. Sulpice Quarter
have had a great surprise, owing to
the arrest Of an apparently pious and
respectable female to whom they had
given the undignifed nickname Of
"Old Mother Slopp." " Mother
Slopp" lived in a mysterious man
ner, but she was always assiduous in
her attendance at mass, where she
turned up her eyes heavenward and
told her beads with all the fervor Of a
youthful nun. To-day, however, a
police inspector paid a sudden visit to
her dwelling and Mother Slopp "
was seen, to the bewilderment OF her
neighbors, escorted 10 the nearest sta
ton by two minions Of the law. The
truth was soon discovered-the estima-
BILE pious dame Of ancient days was a
hypocritical old hag who made a
mint of money by pretending to in
sure the luck Of servants and other
easily gulled persons who had taste
for gambling in scrip or buying shares
in financial speculations. She used to
make her victims send her their bonds
and securities, and after having
charged fat fee, she muttered inean-
tations and made cabalistic signs over
the paper money. Then, when her
dupes wanted their documents back,
she sent them away empty by means
Of various excuses. One OF her GUS
toners, however, had his suspicious
aroused, owing to "Mother Slopp's
dilatoriness in returning his litres.
He accordingly communicated with
the police, who acted with prompt
ness in the matter, the ancient hypo
crite refusing steadfastly to give up
any of the property which had been
entrusted to her.-French Cor.

.rHE PRETTY LITTLE QUAKER


Demure on the stage she sang,
And all the house with pisudits rang
No Puritan could beat her;
But thouglfthe song was cute and sweet.
The music Of her twinkling feet
Was just little neater.
Though taught TO never deviAte
Prom manner shy and quite sedste.
"a prim reeluse they'd make herb
She did not care n right or wrong.
She danced the best half Of the song.
Did the pretty little Quaker."
Away with critics such ssyel
Who are so dead 10 melody.
And every fine emotioni
To have the cheek, the gall, the nerve,
Not to admire the graceful curve
In the poetry Of motion"
Now did love merry girl.
And she the wAltE's giddy whirl.
II 1 should hope To win her,
I'd give my rivals every chance.
II she'd consent to never dance.
As I'm living sinner
So FIounce went on and played her psit.
And showed by dancing that her art
just then did not forsake her
For the dainty steps OF that fairy mite
Was the crowning charm that Saturday night

Does Not Laugh az Lock.smishs.
The very latest thing out in the way
Of stationery is an envelope Of leather,
which can be locked and sent through
the mails without being tampered with
by postoffice clerks. 1t will doubtless
come into general use as safe covering
for lovers epistles. The locked envelope
is thus described: 1t is OF leather
alligator-skin or morocco. Upon the
back of the envelope there is dainty
staple of gold or silver, over which fits
snugly link of similar material ct
tached to the flap, and this is secured
by dainty little paddock with Yale
lock.
Upon the face is an open pocket for
the insertion of a card bearing the
address and necessary postage stamp.
Two tiny keys accompany each envel-
ope. Having furnished Phyllis with
one of these, Corydon may pour forth
his hearts tenderest devotion to her
upon paper, lock it up and send it ON its
way, rejoicing in the certainty that
she only to whom it is directed will be
able 10 scan its sacred pages. That
the envelope will supply long felt
want in the world Of courtship cannot
be doubted.

Jones ON HIS Fees,

New YoRK, January Ex-senator
John p. Jones of Nevada is at the
Hoffman House. He always has
many visitors, a large proportion
being applicants for financial aid.
There are a number of old Califor-
mans who make New York their
home who look forward eagerly to the
Senator's visits. They are persons
who knew him in the earlier days OF
California when he was no better of
than themselves. Now he is several
times a millionaire, and many of them
are living from hand to mouth, and to
visit their old, generous friend is worth
a few dollars to them. None of them
ever go away empty-handed, for the
Senator's heart is as big as an OK.
The Senator is said to be in better
condition financially than he ever was.
The boom in the Consolidated Cali
fornia and Virginia mine, in which he
was largely interested, soon wiped
out his Indebtedness and made him
again a millionaire. His investments
have been exceedingly fortunate.
