A Warning 70 Fathers Who Employ Pretty
Typewriter Girls.

A Warning 70 Fathers Who Employ Pretty
Typewriter Girls.
A Main street business man, who is
blessed with prosperity in ,rede and an
interesting family, is in trouble, says the
Memphis Avalanche. He had son just
old enough to note everything that hap
pens and make awkward comments.
A few DAYS ago the business man en-
ployed a handsome young lady as an
amauuensis and typewriter. The boy
went to his fathers Office shortly after
the new typewriter had been installed on
an errand for his mother.
Paterfamilias was examining a letter
just written by the handsome amanuensis
when the boy entered In order to read
the missive the business man found it
necessary to bend over the back of the
young lady's chair. The boy took in the
situation, then said:
''Paw, gimme half dollar. -
''My son, I am busy now Don t
worry me - and the business man con-
tinued TO hang over the shapely shoulders
of the typewriter and peruse the letter
she held
"'Gimme the ha # an III go home, -
said the boy.
''Don It interrupt me when am busy,
son, - was the only notice taken of this
proposition.
The boy said no more, but his eyes
lighted up with a Nemesis-like CLEAN.
He made friends with the Office cat, put
piece of rubberson the stove to see if it
would smell like it did at school, and
scratched his initials on the wall with
triangular piece of tin, but kept a close
watch on the old man and the typewriter.
Finally father and son both left the
Office and went home to dinner After
soup had been served the business man
told his wife how rudely young hopeful
had acted. and the maternal brow was
overcast with a frown of reproach. The
boy was in disgrace, but he didn It seem
TO care. He masticated a cracker in
calm, collected way, and said:
"Maybe / was sorter rude, but NAV,
If you d "a seen paw leanin' over that
purity young lady that picks the typewri-
ter for him, en- pushin her bangs back
off her forrud and whisperin' to her,
you d "a thought he ID been willin' to
gimme more n ha f dollar to leave him
alone, cause that gals a corcker an
paw shore, is stuck on her -
The scene that followed these few re-
marks cannot be described. 1t must be
left to the imagination.

Wood carving leads off good share of
the omen of ones acquaintance into
captivity this winter. To own fine pieces
Is an aspiration to execute them an am
bition. Lately finished is a beautiful
duet seat, which goes to the Crockers of
San Francisco, and q coat cabinet de-
signed for a niche in Mrs. Arthur
Dodge's hall and meant to contain those
articles of apparel never hung up by q
family of boys. John Tod Hill, one of
the best known of American wood
carvers, is deluged with letters from
women on the lone islands off
Florida who wish to carve to pass
the time, women teaching school who
would like to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows while welding the
carvers' tools instead of the birch, So
ciety girls who carve, as they play the
violin, for amusement. And it is really
becoming a money making occupa-
ton for women. A young girl
who was taking her first orders
for work last winter drives % horse and
buggy, which she has bought with her
earn ngs. The daughter of wealthy
Brooklyn family pocketed $50 two or
three weeks since for her first modest bit
of carving offered for sale. She has half
a dozen commissions to execute

pied with pin money, announces her de-
termination 10 see the first young

cution
Beginners carve boxes or bellows
Then they proceed TO picture frames. If
they have talent they by and by do
chairs, tables, oYeT-mantels, friezes and
all manner Of decorative furniture. Ale
era Eggleston is probably the most skill
full designer and carver in wood
among women. The art Is one which
women like and IN which they are likely
in the near future TO succeed well. They
make Jealous pupils and throw them
selves headlong into an art which fits in
SO Weil with the other enthusiams of
home decoration.

SEVERAL BURGLARIES.

1t is Supposed that One Gang Did the
Plundering
Early yesterday morning, just whea
cannot be stated, q burglar or burglars
broke the heavy plate glass in the door of
the City National bank on Houston street
near the point where the latch is located,
probably thinking that they could get at
the latch and open the door. They were
disappointed in this, for the door was
securely locked ana they did not
succeed in getting into the bank. The
glass broken cost $50.
The burglars also went to Hatchel s sa-
loon and later on Smith IS saloon. They
got some So in money, cigars, whisky,
etc. A couple of stores were entered and
goods to the value of $50 stolen. The
police think the same gang did all the
work and that they are not experienced
hands ut the business.

''It is curious, - said railroad man
yesterday at the Albany depot, chow
firm is the attachment between a loco
motive engineer and his locomotive.
know an engineer on the Central road
who calls his engine Hank, and talks
TO it as he drives through the rain and
storm just as he would to a horse, some
times in sweet and mild tones and then
with the strongest imprecations
upon his lips. L know of another
engineer who insists on sleeping in
the roundhouse near his locomotive, and
thinks as much of it almost as he does of
his child. Engineers do not like to take
out new locomotives. They prefer one
that has been tried year OF two. They
are afraid that the driving RODS may
break, and broken driving rod often
sends its fragments through the cab, to
the peril of the engineer and fireman,
AS a rule, therefore, new engines are
run for a year or so with freight trains,
and after they have become seasoned
they are put upon passenger trains. =

Bellew has an absorbing passion for a
small and feminine waist, high-heeled
boots, and ladies' gloves. With these
fancies corsets go as matter of course.

One day in London last year I went
with the actress TO n men 5 corset shop
on Conduit street. / am free to admit
that, though l have had some experience
in knocking around the world and have
seen some queer things, they were the
first corsets had ever seen that were de-
signed for men. They were almost
straight mp and down, and not dis
tinguished by the little semi circular
pretubeFances which mark the feminine
variety Of corsets. The whalebone was
very broad and stiff. One pair of corsets
was pink, beautifully edged with white
surmounted by ducal coronet.
''These, said the actress, holding
the corsets up with a keen and radiant
smile, are for the duke of Bufort.
He makes no coneealment of wearing
them, you know -
l should think not. I recalled having
seen the duke the previous day at Ascot
driving a coachful of burlesque actresses
to the meet His wrinkled old face was
scanned with smiles, his white wig and
fringe of whiskers uT der his chin were
beautifully eurled. His seventy-odd
years weighed heavily upon him, and he
leaned forward in such a weak fashion
on the box seat that the upper line of his
corsets was plainly indicated through the
back Of his coat.
The other PAIR of corsets were small
and exceedingly short. I should not
think that they were more than four and
q half inches up and down asked who
they were tor. The clerk hesitated for a
long time, rllen the actress blurted ont
the name of Kyrle Bellew. The only
thing that astonished me was that there
was no pink lace on them after the fash

4 Han Claiming to be Jewish Rabbi Swindles
Oar Citizens.
During last week there came to this
city man who claimed that he had been
q Jewish rabbi and that his name was
Kramer. He was anxious to be baptised
into the.C Christian faith. He said Juda-
ism had had its day and had accom-
pllshed its ends, but now Christianity
was the faith to accomplish the redemp-
ton of the people Of the world Kramer
read Hebrew and he read Greek,
he was thoroughly versed in the Scrip
lures and was q plausible talker The
upshot of the whole matter was that he
secured sums OF money from divines and
citizens of Fort Worth on false pretenses
and has left the city This same man
swindied a prominent divine in a neigh
boring city.

SECRETARY Nomr is evidently a good
lawyer and possessed Of Il keen sense OF
Justice anti equity. lie gives 4 broad
and common sense construction 10 the
timber culture law in his late decision in
the case of James Hair, Of Kirwin, kas
He has reversed the policy that has
prevailed in the department for some
wears past. On The land claimed ~ Hair
under the timber law il was shown that
there were prior to lis entry SIX cotton
wood trees. Heretofore it has been held
that that number Of trees on 4 claim con-
stituted timber in sufficient quantities 10
preclude entry under the law. Secretary
Noble says the intent oi congress in the
passage OF the act was TO encourage the
artificial growth ol timber in prairie
country. 1t is we'll known that in prairie
regions a few scattering trees arr found in
rayines, and congress certainly did not
intend to exclude every tract Of that kind
from the timber culture IaW.
The ruling is good and lair one, and
will stand the test in any court, where
common sense, law and equity prevail,
