A Kiss i'm the Dark.

Horace Nernet the artist, was going
from Versailles TO Paris by railway.
In the same compartment with him
were two ladies whom he had never
seen before, but who were evidently
acquainted with him. They examined
him infinitely and commented freely
on his martial bearing, his hale old
age, the style Of his dress, etc. They
continued their annoyance until finally
the painter determined to put an end
90 the persecution. As the train passed
through the tunnel OF st. Cloud, the
three travellers were wrapped in COM
plete darkness. Vernct raised the back
of his hand to his mouth and kissed it
twice violently. On emerging from
the obscurty, he found that the ladies'
had withdrawn their attention from
him, and were accusing each other of
having been kissed by u man in the
dark
Presently they arrived at Paris, and
Vernet on leaving them said: Ladies,
| shall be puzzled all my life by the in
quiry, which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me?"-St Louis Republic.

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.

With bee that embraces

Where perfumes are winging
More worthy my singing

And bonnie birds fearful
When autumn is fearful
No terror il shows;
No quarter il cravest,
When Boreas ravest,
But dies like the brdvest,
Sweet Cherokee rose.

1t was real horid of them to fight
duel, but then it was so romantic and of
course they couldn't help it.
1t was perfectly plain to Mrs. Wheelox
that she had been grievously insulted; on
the other hand, Mrs. Slatherton was sure
that the offense 10 herself was mortal. The
question was, who was the first aggrieved?
Upon whom, according to the etiquette of
She code, devolved the duty of issuing a
challenge?
1t was delicate question, and as both
these ladies are celebrated for their sensi-
tive observance of the niceties of social
convention, it puzzled them sadly. The
problem was solved at last by this process
OF reasoning OH the part of Mrs. Wheelox:
''Inasmuch as the first public aifront was
given by dear Mrs. Slatherton, and worse
one in response to my letter, and inasmuch
as my second letter has not been answered,
1t is plainly incumbent on me 10 take such
steps as shall bring the matter to an issue. :"
When Mrs. Wheelox's husband was con-
suited on this point he paled at his wife s
reasoning and was forced to admit its
strength, and as he had heard that Mrs.
Slatherton was about to start for Europe,
he consented to the sending of challenge
The missive was delivered to Mrs. Sath-
erton just before the gang plank of the
steamer was to be pulled down. She
promptly gathered up her handbags and
descended, to the great terror of Mrs.
Wheelox's husband, who was hiding be-
hind bale of cotton OH the wharf. He
had felt so sure that she would continue
her voyage and thus prevent the shedding
of poetic blood
Miss Leonora Dainty had been the rep
resentative for Mrs. Wheelox, and after an
hour or two spent in sending messenger
boys hither and yonder Mrs. Slatherton re-
ferred Miss Dainty to Mrs. Barbara Pom
fret Chandler. Mrs. Chandler and Miss
Dainty met at matinee performance of
Won BuIow, whittier they went to avert
suspicion, and they discussed the terms of
the encounter during the music
