DO YOU WALTZ.
Mrs. Frank Leslie Philosophers ON the
Giddy.


ANY harm in waltzing2 Why, Of
course not, unless one has heart disease,
like poor Birdie, or lame ankle, or
something"
Sometimes, however, n girl more sen
sititive than the rest would confess that
nothing can be more disagreeable than
the way some men waltz, holding you so
close, and staring, and--oh, / don't
know, they re horridl" Something like
this was said to me by at least u dozen
pure, pretty mouths, and ! silently
noticed the style, physical and mental,
of the girls who said it. They were
Hebes, every one, and nothing of the
Minerva about them, the darlings.
My ipquisitions among my male
friends were naturally more guarded,
butt found several brothers who wished
their sisters did not waltz, and several
young husbands who had tried more or
less effectually to prevent their wives
from waltzing with any man but them
sleeves.
Absorbed in the interests of morality,
| pursued my examination into the
sober ranks of the fathers and mothers,
even the grandfathers and grand
mothers of the dancers, and here ]
found disapproval, variously expressed
and on various grounds, almost unani.
nous. One dear old gentleman wagged
his bald head at me, chuckled rogu-
ishly, and whispered:
Jolly good fun for the boys, my
dear, and I only wish | was young
enough TO try it; but l don't know that
morality is its strong point.
And his wife, when / asked her, said,
with a culver of the head that rlstled
her capstrings:
"Think of waltzing2 Why, / think
1t is shameful for girl to let any man
that comes along put his arm around
her waist and hug her up to him.
What would a modest girl think if he
did ii when they were not waltzing, al
though / have my suspicious that
when they wander Off into conserva
tories, and gardens, and boudoirs, and
shady places, directly after dancing, tn,
young men do once In awhile practice
up little for the next waltz. r
"Oh, no, no, my dear madame, pro
tested |, as gravely as possible, 's,lrely
no such horrid scandal as that Is posi-
ble."
well, don't know, my dear, dom
know; but ! have always remembered
what dear Miss Edgcworth says;
"'Sir, she's yours;-
You have brushed from the grape
It's exquisite blue,
From the rosebud you've shaken
It's pendulous dew;
What you've touched you may take

A story About Nat Claiborne, the
Prominent Lawyer.

Colonel Nat @. Claiborne, a criminal
lawyer of st. Louis, is dead. He came
from Virginia before the good stock of
that old State ran out. He was as
straight as an Indian and as rapid in
his oratory as a prairie fire. He sue
ceeded Frank p. Blair in the State SEN
ate and was member of the lower
house several times,
At the close Of the war, when B. Gratz
Brown was the 'possum candidate" for
governor by which the disfranchised
Democracy of the State rrgained their
rights, Nat took the stump, and 1t is a
fact that wherever boy baby was born
in the vicinity where he had spoken the
baby was named Nat Claiborne.
There was II meeting one afternoon
on the public square in Kansas City.
The platform was built on level with
the Senate" bar of mighty dimen-
sions in those days The distinguished
guests occupied this platform, while the
populace stood below. General Shields
was one of the speakers on that occa-
sion.
The proprietor of the "Sendte" was
a Democrat and during the proceed
lhEN lhllNI pbNl as blS NH u nun
bushel was handed out of the window
and passed around among the 'distln-
guished. Nat Claibon never pretend
ed TO make a speech in those days until
he was feeling comfortable. Every
speaker had had his say and the crowd
was waiting for Nat He appeared
loath to start. Another punch bowl
was passed out and twomen approached
him with it and told him TO open his
mouth; he did so and they poured down
the contents, Then they got him ON
his feet and the president of the meet
ing, who was helped to his feet, said to
the populacc; Now, you'll have the
- --est speechyoueverhcardinyour
lives. Nat, give EN- --."
Claiborne spoke until the stars came
out, and Il more brilliant effort was
never heard on the hustings Il Chicago
