An Absent.M Minded Man.

Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in a store on Walnut
street to make few purchases. The
only ligh. in the store was a candle
standing on the counter near the
money-drawer. After making his pur-
chases he handed the proprietor bill,
and after returning him the change
the proprietor walked to the rear OF the
store to arrange something when sud-
denly he was left in the dark. He
started toward the counter. and crop
ing around it found, not the candle,
but the change. He started out after
him, and catching up with him saw
that lie had the bundle in one hand
and the candle III the other. After
apologzing for the mistak the stranger
took his change and gave back the
candle.

Ladies the Best Dancers.

Our women are the best dancers IN
the world. The English woman moves
stitlly, slowly. considers reversing vul
gar because the Prince Of Wales does
not do it. and she dances SO solemnly
that if the music could be hushed and
her face only were visible. IT would
seem as if she were arranging some
new custom at a funeral and had as
sunaed her best funeral manners. The
American girl keeps time with the
music and seems always rather to
glide. while the English girl never gets
beyond trot. Dancing IS no longer
the important feature Of an evening s
entertainment, unless, Of course. it is
m evening especially devoted to it.

have people to amusc us. III time 1t IS

sThat may be true. I said in tone
of gentle cast irony, shut when you
come West you lose that cool, culti-
waited look Of refined vacuity which We
of the East constantly dote ON. We
do not like that in you. It is real
coarse. You say sHullor and treat
strangers politely without knowing
who they are. That is where you fool
yourselves in the West. We Eastern
people resent your easy way of getting
acquainted with people on trains and
in public places and treating Thorn hos
pitably. You shouldn't do that. You
ought to be more coy until people
identify themselves. Don't you know
that o man with the slightest tinge of
intellect can get along first-rate So
cially if he will preserve an air Of
hauteur and reserve instead of your
off-hand bonhominy, as we say in dear
old France?"
