midnight John deserted the party and
went TO the resort kept by Mike and John

Sulivan's brother Mike was angry with
the trainer for not using his ilAuence in
behalf of early hours ard sObriety, and
after the disposal OF 8 round Of drinks he
entered into a discussion with that func-

The trainer promptly stopped B4rnitt's

Mixed Family Relations.

There lives in Union township, near Jeffersonville, Ind, family that can boast of the most curiously complicated relationship. Some years ago widower by the name of Morgan, who had a grown son, married a widow who had a grown daughter. After awhile he and his wife secured divorce! His son then fell in love with his fathers di- vorced wife and married her. The fa- ther got married to the daughter of tho woman from whom he had been divorced. Each couple has children, and the two families are terribly mixed as to their relationship. The old man is his own father-in-law, the brother-in-law of his own son and the stepfather of his wife, while the son is father-in-law of his fa- ther, his own stepson, stepfather of his stepmother, and so on. Tho relationship of the children, who are the issues of the last marriages, is too complicated for any one to puzzle his head over.

TERRIBLE TEMPTATION.
How Poor Weak Human Nature Asserted

How Poor Weak Human Nature Asserted
 Itself in Street Car.
 There were dozen passengers on Broadway car the other rainy day who noticed very Jorge, showily- y-dressed man got aboard at the corner of Seven teenth, says tho New York Sun. He had gold headed silk umbrella, and he leaned it against the front door and sat down. When tho car got down to Wall street tho large man suddenly rose up and hurried out of the car, never think ing of his umbrella. Then human nature began to show itself. A young man with a very loud suit of clothes changed his seat from rear to front to get nearer the prize. A very solid woman, with a band-box, pushed a boy along to bring herself nearer. A man on the other side, who had been very busy with his paper, now folded it up and fixed his eye on tho umbrella. A shop girl, who seemed to be out on an errand, cast covetous eyes and thought of the swell she could cut over tho other girls if she had that particular piece of personal property. An old man with very prominent nose finally observed in sub- dued tones:
 
 return him his umbrella "Johnson!' exclaimed the young man in the loud suit. ''Why, that's our su- perintendent, and as l am going right to the office I'll carry it to him." 'Seems to mo he's my grocer, but l won't be sure of it,'' emarled the solid l woman. "However, I'm an honest wom- | an and it will be safe with me-" "Look here!' exclaimed the man with | the paper. ''You arc a nice crowd, must remark. l was just laying low for 1 you. The gent is my brother and I'd l like to see some of you try to walk of 1 with his umbrella!'
 1 This settled all but the shop girl. She turned white and rcd, moved about un- easily, and finally decided it was now or never. She suddenly rose up, walked to the end of the car, picked up the um- brella and tiptoea her way to the rear door and passed out.
 ''Thank you, miss"
 It was the large, y-dressed man, who was standing on the platform with his hand extended.
 "Don't mention it.' snapped the girl in reply, as she turned over the property and dropped off.
 And then every body chuckled and slapped himself on the back to think he had been wise enough to let tho umbrel | Ia alone.

HE'S WORTH HAVING.
A Dog That Won Remarkable Wager 2

A Dog That Won Remarkable Wager a
 Short Time Ago.
 A reporter of the Ventura (Cal.) Ga zette was informed recently of re- markable example of sagacity, under standing and obedience in dog. The animal is what is called a shepherd dog, is ten years old, was born in Montana and can not understand English, the man who raised him being a Mexican.
 This Mexican is now in the employ of the Messrs. Schiappa Pietra as sheep herder, and ip his duties is ably assisted by his dog. Abouta week ago he laid the following extraordinary wager with one of his employers: He bet his dog and a years work against S1OO that the dog would stay on the ranch alone, unattended by any human being, for five days; that tho animal would take the sheep to pasture in the morning and bring them to the corral at night, and in fact look out for the sheep in every way as we'll as a man could.
 The bet was taken and the Mexicau, first hanging up plenty of meat for tho dog to eat, gave his instructions to his dumb assistant and left the ranch, com ing to town. Last Sunday the money was paid over by Mir. Schiappa Pietra, the dog having carried out, for five days, tho instructions of his master and l winning the wager for him.
 The Mexican says his employers are very rich (and of course they are), but that they have not money enough to buy that dog,

 worthy widow, Mme. Guindortf, has been f1eeced on a largo scale by a veri- table company of Paris swindlers, says Q correspondent. It was all through a puppydog, and happened thuswise. Mme. Guindorff lived in the Rue de Rennes, and had q canine favorite called Lolo. One day the pet escaped into the street and wandered at large, being eventually captured by a person named Roger, who saw the address of tho dogs mistress on its brass collar. Roger is 8 chevalier d'industrio of the first water. He is also Q good-looking fellow, and when he brought homo her dog to the'aged but amorous widow she fell in love with him at first sight and told him to call again. This Roger did, and soon found out that the Widow Guindorff possessed a fortune of 1,ooo, GOO francs, or $40, ,oo0, invested in vari- ous securities, beside some valuable house property. Roger began by pilfering plate, jewelry and small articles from his elderly dame, and these he deposited with divers and sundry avuncular relatives estab- 1lSueu III olllCldl luOli p1cbc out tho city. By and by Roger related his good luck to his pothouse compan- ions, who also resolved to make the widows acquaintance, the rascals event. ually forming themselves, under Rog- CTS lead, into firm for the purpose of ''exploiting" her. They first inveigled her into the bourse speculations, one of them opening a bogus" office for this purpose. By this means and by making stroEg point of ''oflice disbursements they fleeced the widow to the tune of about s6, GOO. Then they made her effect a loan, got her to mortgage some of her property, induced her to embark in commercial speculations in ostrich eggs, Cape diamonds and pict- ures-and would have sent her eventu- ally to the French equivalent for the work-house but for two reasons. These were: First, that the old ladys relatives, hearing about her new-fangled friends rather late in the day, though-inter- fered on her behalf; and secondly, that the thieves fell out among themselves | and quarreled over the plunder. The | police being set to work all tho mem | bers of the band except Roger, the 1 founder of the charming community. were arrested and will be tried.

to death. His mother sent an APP
peal to the emperor for his pardon.
So did Victor Hugo. His majesty re-
fused the pardon and Oberdank was

BespOken,

The new teacher in some rural dis
tricts, if he is young and unmarried,
is often supposed to have matrimo-
NAL designs on the young ladies OF
the district, no matter how innocent
he may be of such intention. Some
time his supposed preference for one
or the other is made the subject of
gossip, and occasionally the teacher
is even the innocent cause of most
absurd jealousies.
A diffident, young man, who Oh an
ced to be already engaged to be mar
ried, taught his first term of school
in q western rural district some
years ago, and, in accordance with
the rural custom, he did d great deal
OF visiting around"
He spent one night at the house of
an old farmer who had a daughter
famous, not for her beauty, but for
her lack of it. To enumerate her pc
culiarities OF face and figure would
be to give a catalogue of imperfec-
tiOns.
Those who regard bulk as a mark
of beauty, who think head of red
hair, cut short and parted at the
side, is an attractiOnina young lady,
would have been charmed with Becky
Ann"
When our somewhat fastidious
young teacher was introduced to
this paragon, her uncomeliness was
increased by the fact that she
was bare footed and wore an inhar-
monious gown of green and yellew
calico.
Naturally enough his amazed gaze
was fixed often on Miss Becky Ann
during the evening. When he retir-
ed to his room for the night, he was
followed by her father, who almost
stupetied him by saying. with per-
feet gravity:
"Look here, I'm going to tell you
something l RELY think you'd orter
to know, ez it may save you from
raisin' any false hopes to have 'em
dashed to the ground. seen yer

Combining Business and Pleasure,

1t is a breach of etiquette to allow
the handing out of advertisements
to people as they emerge from a
theatre. Aristocratic people would
deem it an insult to have an advert
isement showed into their hands as
they were departing even from SO
public place. Judge, then, of the
surprise ofthe members of some of
Albany's best families when, upon
leaving the house of one of the So
ciety leaders at a recent swell event,
a young man in livery standing with
in the hallway showed into the hands
of each guest a neatly folded piece of
paper resembling a handkerchief,
which upon being opened disclosed
the advertisement of a dealer in fish,
oysters and clams.-Albany Journal.
