MRS. PARSONS AND LITTLE TOT.
BY ADAM DEAN.

Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons were the low stairs ten
ants in house No. 80 of row of red brown houses
in West Louisville. They were precise, orderly
people, who felt that they were sufficient unto
themselves. Lived and moved and had their being
in desert-island fashion like many other city people.
Prided themselves upon their ability to attend to
their own business, hoping that everybody else
would do the same. For weeks they had found
untold comfort in the thought that the "Browns"
had moved away, and "the other part of the
house was nnnccupied. 1t was evening and they
were at the tea table enjoying their supper for two,
and no more. Mrs. Parsons had been heard to-
boast ''that for her part she was glad the years had
brought no other mouths to feed. There were no.
young Parsons, thank h~eaven!'' Furthermore,
plants did not flourish in their shaded windows.
nor Canary birds nor any other kind of birds
splash water from their morning baths upon the
clear glass. No dog ''bayed a deep-mouthed well
come" when his master returned at night. No cat
purred in her mistress lap. The ruling passion
in this house was 'war eternal, unceasing war;
against dirt, dust and sunshine.
Somehow pets are in close communion with all
these. Supper over, Mrs. Parsons turned toward
the window to admit the glorious twilight and save
the gas.
"Goodg gracious James, what have we here?'
"Where?'
''Here, here at the front door, at our own front
door. 1t is a menagerie, l do believe. Come.
come here, James; why don't you come?'
Obedient to his wife's urgent invitation, without
more ado, James stood at her side, and tocetber
they peered out into the street in gloomy and
foreboding silence. For there at their front door
stood a furniture car, and the driver unloosening
ropes here and there, proceeded to unpack the
luggage First from off the very top of the load
he handed down to his assistant, a gray horse that
In the twilight looked very real till one noticed the
rockers on which it stood. Next came q kennel
with a live terriers head at the window. And
again from the ascent there came down a bird
cage with its frightened tenant. But that
was not all. With the third ascent of the driver
came new cause for grief-a chld's crib and biob
Guar, suggesting worry, trouble and work. So
Vnought Mrs. Parsons, for, turning away from the
window, not forgetting to pull down the shade
over tbe sacred glass, she said to her husband.
mWell' James, there's an end to peace and quiet.

''THE Woman's Tribune says the st. Louis

she has been dwelling on her youth. We are anx-
iously awaiting for her to get down to the period
of the American Revolution, as she will probably
throw some new light on the story of the little
hatchet.'' Like the balance of bis sex, Mr.. Alex
ander De Menil evidently has little use for old
women. Belonging to his type of men is a certain
tribe of South Sea Indians, who, when the women
get old, knock them in the head. The great
American eagle, noblest bird of the air, when his
claws have grown blunt and the keen edge worn
from his beak, seeks only for prey the young and
tender hare. So the i~llustrious editor of the st.

it down fast; she represents nothing save a past
usefulness. The same gifted gentleman facetiously
remarks that the Century Magazine has abandoned

in a vigorous claim and offers TO raise the immense
sum of IS, 900, 900, and judging from the tone of
papers there, that city is the only one on the con-
tinent that can offer any suitable conditions, or is
in any manner capable Of entertaining the huge
multitude that it is reasonably expected will flock
to witness the wonders of the great Worlds Fair.
Chicago sets up a claim that s~ingularly enough in
corporates all and the same good reasons that New
York has brought forth, though perhaps as yet the
promise of the SO, 900, 900 is not fully assured.
st. Louis is another applicant, and while the vote
at present may fall a majority to either the side of
New York or Chicago, the time is not far distant
when neither of those two great cities will repre-
sent the metropolitan center of this nation. Even
at present st. Louis is nearer the center of popu-
l%ation; suitable in many other respects, she is also
the metropolis of the valleys watered by the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries, the section which pro-
duces fully so per cent of the exportable and
domestic products of the United States. More
over, it is time that one great fact should be rec
ognized, which is, "that westward the star of en-

much longer be ignored.

The Woman's Magazine, of Brattleboro, VT,
launches the following, so good that it is sure to
receive the appreciation sometimes denied less
homely witticism;
"In the early days in Iowa, a gentleman was
much troubled at the bread set before him, which
was heavy, soggy, yellow and unpalatable. One
chief cause of this was the flour, which was itself
coarse, poorly bolted, and yellow. AS he stopped
one day, weary and dusty, at a shanty far out on
the prairie, he asked food and shelter. On the
table, among other things, appeared a loaf Of bread,
light, spongy, white, well-baked-a beautiful home
loaf, pleasing to the eye, appetizing to the palate.
On inquiry, my friend found this woman had used

AT the meeting of the Little Rock Equal SUI
frage Association, which met Wednesday after
noon, one lady appeared with her sweet and inter
esting little son of sixteen months. If there is
anything in the theory of the absorption of prin-
ciples and learning, the little fellow will early be-
come a woman suffragist. The same lady told
during the meeting of her husbands having been
the inspiration which first induced her to join the
association. She had spoken of her Indifference
to the different women's movements, when to her
surprise her husband remarked, '"That is the
trouble with you women; you are indifferent to
everything which relates to the Improvement and
greater welfare of your sex, and in my opinion it
is very much to the discredit of women" This
evidently had set the wife to thinking, and very
shortly afterward she began to take an interest in
the suffrage and other movements instituted by
women.

ably supposed to be on terms of intimacy.

lawyer McGhee appeared for the de-
!endents and the City Attorney for the
the prosecution. After hearing the
evidence and the arguments of counsel
the court found the defendants guilty
and assessed a fine of $40. In this con-
nection attention is called to the fact
that this was the third time defendants
were brought in for this offence, and in
all cases of third violation the fine has
heretofore been 500 and imprisonment
Hence it was by reason of attorney
McGhee's manner of conducting the
case in trying, citing authorities and
argument that the defendant got off so
lightly especially when $3.50 had been
deposited as security. Truly the Col
ored man can do much in his own be-
