MALE CHAPERONES.

How Impecunious Washington Society
~ Men Support Themselves. tsSsss
' A few days ago Washington correspond
emit clipped the following advertisement
from the Star of that city: aa1l ~
Three tall, handsome young men, who can
furnish best OF reference, will accompany Ia
dies to theaters, balls, etc., at reasonable
rates. Correspondence strictly confidential. '-'
l had heard Of this sort of thing in New
York and one or two other cities, but had
never before seen an announcement of this
kind. My curiosity was aroused, and got
lady friend to copy an answer to the
advertisement which wrote, asking terms,
and mailed this to the address given In
due time received reply, requesting an
interview, but of course l drew the line
there. The writer stated that they would
furnish the highest testimonials to their
honor and integrity. Their terms were five
dollars each per night for doing escort duty,
the lady to pay all expenses of admission
tickets, cabs, ETC., which would seem to be
very comfortable arrangement for them
1t will be understood that such a scheme
would only be adopted by lady who wanted
to 60 without regard to caste, and was 81
unfortunate as to have no male friend to &C
company her. But it is a novel and pleasan
way for young man to make living
good deal easier than hoeing corn or sawinI
wood. - w

WHEN HE WAS I" JIM.

A "Reminiscences of James Whitcomb
"a Riley's Sign-Painting Days.
y lhaye wondered good many times, writes
g r. McManus in the Warsaw (lnd.) Times,
how many people in Warsaw remember
when James Whitcomb Riley was resident,
for time, of that placei have forgotten
how long he was there, and it is more than
probable in writing this am, .figuratively,
s.carrying Goals to Newcastle" repeating
something better known TO others than my
self. But there is one little incident OF his So
iourn there that like to think of. 1t is tins:
it was in the spring of lS13-when was
reading medicine there and Riley was IN
town fillingan engagement or engagements,
painting window-slgns. He was handy at
this sort of thing, and did some nice jobs.
Later with very deft and cunning hand,
he made drawings for his poems, which
were as full of artistic strength ana quaint
ness as his "Old Swimmin' Hole" is full OF
poetry About this time the lndianlan
printed some little things of mine-pict-
uresouely little, some of them, from lit
erary standpoint. But out of charity, or to
encourage me, or to get rid OF me, the
rhymes were printed, and one day Riley
and l were talking about them while he
was painting sign of the Boss JeWelry
store, near Mr.. Wynants drug store. In a
mild, friendly way, he was trifie envlous
of my success in getting into print, and ]
posed beside him while he painted the Try
in jewery, as a person whose literary
standing was assured When he had made
amarine blue period, he took off his apron,
and we went over to the Wright House to-
gether to see little bit of rhyme which he
said he had there. He wanted my opinion
and criticism on it, and as had more opin
ion and criticism to give than any thing
else, l was willing to bestow it even ON Q
sign painter. Riley read the poem. 1t was
called "The Argonaut," and, inexperienced
as was, l knew that only poet and
genius could have written it, l was un
stnted in my praise, and knew the Hoosiel
poet was born-very much born, and wa:
only waiting the recognition of the public
which in few years it so magnificent.
and munihcently gave. After this cpl
sode we became warm friends, ant
an abiding and deep-rooted friendship
was the result. | have met hin
since then, and have read about all he ha!
ever written, but nothing ever pleased mi
as much--no "reading" l have ever heart
Of his-peased me as well as that littl
poem, 1.-THE Argonaut," read one raw
spring day. up in a cold room, by curtain
less window, in the Wright House block
