RoWsER BUYS A CARPET.

In His Obstinacy He Pays 81 IS Yard
for 60 Cent Pattern.
I regard Mr.. Bowser as one of the kind
est and most loving husbands in the world,
and if anyone has imbibed the idea from
anything have put forward that he is
eccentric or given to bulldozing, such an
idea is radically wrong, He is simply the
average husband after five years marriage.
The average husband not only knows fifty
times as much as the average wife, but he
regards it as his solemn duty to inform her
of the fact on every possible occasion. If
he happens to be mistaken he could back
down gracefully, but he won't. He is in
fallible or nothing.
One evening not long since Mr.. Bowser
came home to supper complaining of aches
and pains, and | remarked that it was
doubtless the approach of a rain. storm,
which excites rheumatics.
when did you ever take any notice of
the weather?D he asked, as he looked up
in surprise.
"a thousand times, sir"
81 don't believe it! don't believe there
is woman on earth who can tell when a
storm is coming"
Mr.. Bowser, it will rain tonight"
That's fair illustration of my argu-
ment The stars are out and the sky is as
clear as bell'
"But it will rain" persisted. "You
can feel itssin the wind"
"Feel it in the ash-barrel, you meanl l
doubt if it rains for week"

"Whatl Do you still stick to that?"
II do"
swell, you are goslingl say it won't
rain. What l say you can depend on. If
il rains tonight I'll buy you ten silk
dresses tomorrow"
At half-past II o'clock that night the
natter of the rain on the tin roof of bay
window woke me up, and l elbowed Mr..
Bowser and gave him the information.
Rain rain That's not RAMP he an

said the engineer, and my train was about
thirty minutes late. l said to my fireman:
Keep her hot; mean to go to meeting

minutes [ was not long in passing the mile
posts, for my engine flew along at the rate
of fifty miles an hour down long grade as
straight as an arrow. Suddenly something
struck me in the face, making slight
wound. l slowed down. What's that

fremen, pointing to a little bit of white
paper just to my left. The fireman stopped.

Just at the entrance to the bridge | found

The piece of paper has been framed and
hung over the engineers parlor mantel,

never been behind since it was thrown
into his cab.

Ice Cream is Going.

"The taste of Washington people has
undergone quite change during the past
few years in the matter of the use of ices
and ice-cream," said Mr.. McDemoret to a
Washington Post reporter. "There is now
twice as much Waterloo called for as there
was three years ago, many people using 1t
almost altogether in the place of ice
cream"
"What has brought about the change ~
81 imagine it is the result of European
travel. 1t Europe it is very rare that ice
cream is used, and Americans going
abroad become used to the habit there and
bring it home with them. Water-ices are
generally looked upon as more healthy
than ice-c1 cam, and no doubt is more cool
ing for the warm weather"

fat woman generally rocked him to sleep.
That very thing was quite draw, and
plenty of people came in solely to see the
baboon rocked off to slumber.
One day, soon after Dick had closed his
eyes, a haif-drunken chap entered the
place and created considerable disturbance.
He went by the name of Awful Pete, and
was hard slugger. tried to reason with
him and get him out, but he unfortunately
caught sight of the sleeping baboon and at
once demanded that the animal be aroused
and put through his tricks. sought to
explain, but he wouldn't have it, saying:

see him or bust the biler."
"But if you wake him he'll fight"
"Then I'll ring his neck p
Before | could stop him he lodged under
the rope and lifted Dick out of the cradle.
The animal woke up and took in the situ-
alton in about the tenth part of a second,
and then he fastened his hands into Pete's
hair, got grip with his teeth on the slug
gers nose, and we had museum, menag-
erie and circus combined for the next five
minutes. Pete roared and whooped and
pranced around in pain and terror, and the
bah pulled handfuls of hair from his head,
and bit and scratched like a wildcat
When we finally got him off that slugger
was sight to behold, and had to be taken
to the hospital at once. Two hours after

"Big as lion? ~
ooh, no. He weighs about twenty-six
pounds. Why do you weep"
Hadn't L orter weep?" he sayagely de-

had thirteen fights, and knocked my man
out every time, and now to be downed by
a weazen-faced monkey in one round has

THE RABOON WON.
How a Little Monkey Took the Conceit
Out of Prize Fighter.

In the old St. Louis museum we had,
among other attractions, baboon called
Dick, says writer in the New York Sun;
He was solid chunk of fellow, good
tempered and a great favorite. He had
one popularity, though, which we had to
cater to. He took short maps twice day,
and if aroused before his time he was as
ugly as sin all the rest of the day. We
had him dressed up as little boy, and
when the time came to take his nap he
crept into an old-fashioned cradle and the

A vOITUREAN RoNDEAU.

How weak is man Howe'er he tries,
He cannot be forever wise.
Alas, smoked too much last night,
And now am in a sorry plight,
With furry tongue and burning eyes.
Strange forms before my visions rise,
burden on my bosom lies,
My shrinking soul exclaims In fright,
How weak is man
But shooting folly as it flies
Is Just the sport we mortals prize;
So, now a fresh cigar l light,
And all the world again is bright.
How craven he who craven cries:
How weak is man!

Many valuable colts, says the Chicago
Horssmaa, are lost every year Tor the want
of little care. Hundreds die from laeS
of condition. As rule, If colts are fed
literally and kept growing constantly from
birth there is not much danger to be
feared from worms. Yet 1t Is always best
to be on the safe side and use all harmless
means to prevent every form of sickness
and suffering. Some Kentucky breeders
practice mixing a little pulyerlzed cop
peras with salt and placing it In boxes
where the colts can help themselves as
thev like. Two tablespoonfuls Of copper as
to a pint of salt is sufficient. Horses SUI
ferina from worms can be cured in time by
feeding a teaspoonful of eopperas mixed
with teaspoonful of powdered gentialn
every night for two or three weeks. 1t

An Eccentric Marquise

The name of the young Marquise de Bel
boeuf, the exceedingly masculine sister Of the
exceedingly elfeminate Due de Morny, is
again on everybody lips. Her latest eccen-
tricity consists in riding in the Bots every
morning at s, mounted astride of her horse
instead of on the ordinary side saddle Ac-
companied by couple of her male friends
she dashes along the avenues and bride
paths at sharp canter, creating immense
stir among the early habitues of the Bots
Accustomed as the Parisians are to the pretty
marquises freaks and extravagauces, they
are somewhat staggered to see her riding IA
califourchon"-a practice hitherto confined
to the peasant women in the south Of France
and in the Savoy and it is doubtful whether
the other ladies Of the ''mannishn school now
in vogue will have the courage to follow her
example in the matter Separated from her
husband, always dressed in the most mascu-
line of tailor made gowns, her brown curly
hair cropped close to her shapeiy head. and a
single eye glass fixed in her saucy eve.
Mime. de Belboeuf presents the most strik-
ing contrast which it is possible to conceive
to her brother the duke who it NAV be
remembered figured IA few years ago at some
amateur theatricals in the guise of pre-
miere danseuse of the ballet corps. Cor. New

Notes

The refreshments served by Viewer, the
caterer, we're worthy of the highest common
dation. At no former reception have the
people been so well served. and many were
the remarks of appreciation expressed.
Net little of the success of the occasion
was due to the skill and experience of Mr..
J. Frank Pierce, the floor manager, and his
able corps of aids; Messrs. S. W. Wyman,
John f. Avery, A. W. Brooks, II. p. Mill
ken, L. C. Cornish, F, W. Piasted, NJ S.
Holway, John x. Gould, y. W. Chase, Man
ley II. Pike, Fred Cony. John A. Quinby.
The committee of arrangements and all
who in any way lent their aid 10 the vast
amount of work required in preparing for
the reception, deserve the highest praise
The wonderful success which the efforts of
the committee produced was the result of
tireless care and energy.
