just Like the Girls.

A good story is told at the expense
of one of the young fellows of the
academy who conceived strong lik-
ing for a bright-eyed seminary girl.
The lady teachers never permit boxes
from home or elsewhere containing
appetite tempters to be received by
their fair charges. The young fellow
| speak of evidently did not know of
this rule, or else he had forgotten. AT
any rate he sent his lady-love a box
containing variety of danties. cakes,
pies, and an assortment of confectiOn-
cry that would have tempted the eyes
of a connoisseur. Of course, the box
was intercepted by the argus-eyed lady
teachers, and good Miss McKeen seat
ed herself to write the young man a
note, at the same time informing the
recipient of his favor that the box
must be returned.
But, alas! The dear old lady knew
not the wiles of those sweet girls, and
while she penned her curt letter in
forming the young man-pointedly,
we may believe-of the full enormity
of his otfense, the fair charges extri-
Gated the contents of the box and filled
it up with old shoes, and did it up
again with skill that avoided de-
lection, and, while the good lady
principal was peacefully snoring in her
bed that night, it is safe to assume
that they did full justice to the good
things so opportunely secured to them.
When the eXpressman brought that
box back to the young man, it is safe
to say he was mad. He concluded,
L Il 4 L
lose so many good things, and accord
ingly redirected it and sent it to a kind,
older brother at college. Just what
the elder brothers feelings were when
he opened it is one of the things which
a curious public has not yet been able
to discover Letter.

INTELLECTUAL PERSUASION.
Passengers on q Railroad Train Amused
by Lovers Pieadings.

The Observer was going from New
York to Hartford few days ago. In
front of him were seated very stylish
young woman and a man, the woman
in Connemara cloak and a small
French capote trimmed with butter
cups. The gentleman was little, fierce
and dark and middle aged, and he,
too, was in brave apparel. About half
an hour after leaving Bridgeport the
train slackened its speed. 1t is re-
markable how loudly the voice rings
out when the passenger has been talk
ing against the rattle of the train.
Only on this occasion the Stacking up
was slowly done, so slowly that our
gentleman did not realize that with
the utmost distinctness the following
sentences fell on the ears of all the
passengers within eight or ten seats:
II may express myself awkwardly.
but hope | am understood"
A modest bow from the buttercup
capote.
Il have an excellent situation in the
shoe and leather business, and my
habits are uneXceptionable."
No response from the capote.
udNo d uOuSC III l1dIlelu duu LII
life is insured for $4,000 in the Travel
ers." No response.
"Both my children have had all the
infantile diseases" No response.
81 am an orphan" Still greater sill
ence.
"And a member in good standing in
the Baptist church." No reply.
"My first marriage was an uncongen-
ial one." Silence.
"My wife shall never trouble herself
with domestic cares; l marry her, not
to be housekeeper, but a compan-
ion." Stiffness.
my first wifes mother is no longer
living"
As these sentences fell from his lips
the suitor continued to raise his voice,
and when the train came to full stop
we heard cry:
"Adaline, may be precipitate in
saying so. but | adore you"
An uncomfortable burst of laughter
from the innocent listeners awoke him
to the situation, and Adaline, the sill
ent, spoke. 1t was in whisper, but
we saw that his alluring promises were
without effect. Alas, a freight train
had run off the track, and we were
compelled to wait for an hour and a
half. As usual, the car was crowded,
but we did not know at what moment
we should start for New York. 1t
was an express train and did not stop
till it reached the city. From 1890
till o'clock these unhappy persons
sat side by side speechless. 1t was
sight for men and angels. Hartford

Reason Enough.

A widow whose husband has lost his
life in railway accident received from
the company 10000 francs by way of
compensation. Shortly afterward she
heard that traveller who had lost a
leg on the same occasion had been
paid 10000 francs. The widow at
once put on her bonnet and shawl and
trotted off to the offices of the COM
pany.
'Gontlomen, how is this?" she said.
'Here you give 10000 francs for leg
and you have only allowed me 10000
for the loss of my husband"
Madame" replied one of the clerks,
'the reason isquite plain ,2O, 900 francs
won't provide the poor man NEW leg.
whereas, for 10000 francs you can any
day get another husband, perhaps .
better one"
We are informed that the lady, who
Is still young. after moments silent
reflection, walked away apparently
satisfied. .-Et0iLe Beige

Speeding an Unwelcome Guest.

Washington las long been notorious
for small class of hard-faced, per-
sistent people, who make the rounds
of fashionable entertainments and re-
ceptions without either invitations or
the acquaintance of the people upon
whom they intrude. They are of both
audacity. One was well done up last
season. and taught a lesson he will be
slow forgetting.
A certain club in the West End is
noted for its exclusiveness. At dance
given by it this bold intruder put in
an appearance faultlessly attired and
complacent in prospect of pleasant
evening, topped off with fine COLA
ton. Several of the floor managers
happened together and attention was
called to the conspicuous stranger,
whom none of them knew. BY COM
parison of notes it was quickly discov-
sons had issued him an invitation, and
only one knew even his name. That
one approached and asked:
"Will you inform me whose guest
you are this EVENING""
The intruder hemmed and hawed,
but did not afford the desired informa-
ton.
You will have to pardon me-" con-
tinued the gentleman, "but it is neces-
sary to know the name of the friend
who has invited you here"
Not receiving any satisfactory re-
sponse, the floor manager continued:
You fail 10 see what am trying to
make plain to you, sir. You are one
of a class in this city who force them
selves into the society of people with
whom they are not acquainted, and
who come to exclusive entertainments
without the formality of an invitation.
Now. if you will take my arm l will
conduct you to the cloak room. If
you should 90 alone it would cause
comment, but if you will take my arm
people will think you are an acquaint-
ance."
The interloper took the proffered
arm aud vanished from the ROOM

There is grim humor about some
OF Judge Lynch's executions. A bank
president in southwest Texas made
away with all the funds under his
charge and then posted on the door of
his institution, Bank Suspended. I"
That night he was interviewed by a
number of depositors, who left him
hanging to tree with this notice
pinned to his breast: "Bank President
Suspended" Bank suspensions will
not occur very frequently in that To-
cality.

An interesting story of General Sher-
man is told by Park guard. When he
was last in this city he was riding along
the Wissahickon when he saw the Sergeant
of the guard riding toward him. "That
man is an old cavalryman," said the Cen
eral, and which he got opposite to him he
was saluted by the Sergeant in military
manner
Halt, Sergeant" said the General.
The latter stopped and again saluted.
&C You are an old soldier, a cavalryman,
Sergeant" said Sherman
Yes General. of the Seventh Cavalry !;
/ served twelve years after the war"
"Ahl then you knew of Custer and
Major Reno?'
81 was one of the fortunate ones of that
command to escape and be rescued by
Terry"
Sherman smiled. Then the old soldier
told again the tale of the massacre. At the
conclusion General Sherman said, "Ser-
geant, let me shake hands with you; you
are brave man."
q l never make a mistake" added the
General as he drove on. " A civilian never
rides like that, and the salute settled all
donbts. "-Philadelphid Inquirer.
