Only One Candidate,

The practice Of lobbying" sometimes
arises from the most innocent of motives, and
is carried on by persons whom one would never
suspect of doing it. A class of little girls in
a certain primary school had resolved to
form themselves into a secret society, and ac-
cordingly planned meeting for the election
of officers.
One child who had always been deservedIy
popular, went about at recess saying to one
and another, Now remember, Susie Joy
will make a nice vice president, and Nellie
Smart must be treasurer.
Her classmates quite agreed with her, and
no comment was made until another little
girl, newcomer, who was not accustomed
to the leadership of this young lobbyist, be-
thought herself to ask:
but who will be PRESIDENT"
The small wire puller paused and looked at
her with establishment Then she said, in a
genuinely aggrieved tone: "Why, thought
you would all want mel You always do put
me- at the head Of things"-Youth's Com

WHY HE WENT TO THE WAR.
A Disgusted and Desperate Compost,
ChOOnek Eicbilnfs tn Warner,s f.nnx

a Disgusted and Desperate Compositor
Chooses Fighting to- Warmers Copy.
When Charles Dudley Warner, says
the March Book Buyer, was the editor
OF the Hartford Conn., Press, back in
the sixties. arousing the patriotism of
the state with his vigorous appeals, one
OF the type-setters came in from the
composing-room, and planting himself
before the editor, said: well, Mr..
Warner, I've decided to enlist in the
army" With mingled sensations of
pride and responsibility Mr.. Warner
replied encouragingly that he was glad
to see the man felt the call of duty.
"Oh, it isn't that" said the truthful
compositor; "but I'd rather be shot
than try to set any more of your
blanked copy" Thus We see not only
that men had different motives for
going to the war, but also that ones
unconscious influence is sometimes
stronger than his formal effort. We
also get IN idea of Mr.. Warmers hand
writing rather different from that sug-
gested by his autograph. The fact is
that he is such quick and nervous
writer that it is not possible for his pen
to take legible course and keep up
with the flow of his ideas, and, SO long
as there is no war for the compositor to
flee to, the world is enabled to eventu-
ally read what he has written.

ROYALTY at the Theater.

1t pays to be of royal stock when you
want to attend show. When the
Prince of Wales and his wife wish to
60 to the theater notice is given to the
manager, who prepares his largest box,
or knocks two boxes into one, for the
use of the royal party, and sets an
other box for their suite. If the boxes
have already been sold, the persons
purchasing them are informed that
they are wanted for royalty, and are
requested to call and get their money
back. Half q dozen programs are
printed on colord satin, a lot of boquets
are purchased for the ladies, and an i'm
mense amount of red cloth is used in
decorating the house. The manager
receives the party personally. The
raising the curtain is delayed until the
royal party is seated, and the orchestra
plays "God Save the Queen" At in
tervals during the performance re-
freshments are sent up to the royal box.
All this is at the expense of the man
agement.

Mrs. HoDGsoS BURNETT is to receive
S., 500 year for her work in editing
the children's department of syndicate
of English and American papers. As
her revenue from Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" averages 81, 500 week, it will be
seen that Mrs. Burnett's lines have fall

CARDS financial matters.
Miss BJoRNsoN, the daughter of the
novelist, has just made her debut in
opera at Paris and that excitable city is
wildly raving over her beauty and her

years to study before becoming a fixed
star.
RHoDA BRoUGHToN, the well-known
English novelist, is 48 and a highly in
telligent-looking woman, although her
features are hard and rather masculine.
She is good talker and has rich fund
of humor ola very racy and piquant kind.
Most Of her literary work is done early
in the morning. 1t is her custom to
allow at least two years to elapse be-
tween the publication of her stories.
She is fond of pug dogs and has any
number Of them.
CORRESPONDENTS predict that one of
the most popular members of the adj
ministration circle of ladies at Wash
ington will be Miss Minnie Wanamaker,
daughter of the Postmaster General.
She is about nineteen, and pretty and
charming, according to the verdict of
those who are acquainted with her. At
present she is in Europe with her
mother. She has not yet made her de-
but in society, but will undoubtedly do
so as soon as the family settle down in
Washington.
EDITH SESSIONS UPPER, writer of

expressive eyes, fine skin, and wealth
of brown hair which, when unconfined,
