Tho Laugh That Rings.

A young man who is credited by his
friends with being good deal of a phil
osopher penned me up in corner today
and harangued ME as follows:
"Did you ever study the human laugh
as an index to human character? 1t is
an infallible test, me boy. Did you ever
know man who simpered and yiggled
like girl who wasn't a sneak in his
heart? And, on the contrary, d id you
ever know a fellow who laughed sq1arely
out with good honest roar who wasn't
the prince of good fellows?
"a shrill laugh is indicative of deceit.
and deep chuckle proves sincerity ano
good nature. By this don't mean that
man with a tenor voice can't laugh as
though he was honest, or one with bass
voice cover his insincerity with n mere
below. It's the ring that talks. If the
laugh has no ring in it you can put the
fellow down as half hearted cuss, no
matter if his laugh is loud enough to lift
the roof of the Auditorium Stand
twenty men up in Il row before me and
clo something to get them all laughing,
and I'll separate the good fellows from
the Miss Nancies about as quickly as you
could get outside of beefst eak after
years famine. See?"

dive for liberty.-Chicago Journal.

from this moment, cast off the miserable
cloak that has hidden and almost stran-
gled what good thoughts were in my
heart, and show a new nature to the
world. My pooc, wronged wife, would it
be too much il dared to kiss your hand,
in token of this new peace and the for
giveness you extend to me?"
For answer, the old lady put her arms
around his neck and held up her face for
him to kiss. lie trembled like an aspen
leaf, and then, bending down, gently
kissed her.
The past was healed, the abyss
spanned, and, in the future. they could
go forward, hand-in-hand, down life's de-
cline. He could make no reparation for
what he had done, bnt it was enough for
her that he had expiated that wrong in
sorrow and remorse.
They tel us woman's nature has never
been understood; that it Is unfathom-
able, and 50 it would seem.
From this calm and joyous contempla-
tio1 of the future, they were suddenly
aroused by the entrance Of Carol, in
tears.

Something to Show.

Men are too ready to assume that
women, as they say, know nothing
about business. Some women are ig-
norant of such matters, it is true, but
on the other hand some women have
quite as much business capacity as
their husbands.
"Do you mean to tell us, Mrs. Bill,
lus," demanded Mr.. Billus, angrily,
"that you gave a total stranger an
order for ten dollars worth of groce-
ries at prices less than wholesale
dealers can buy them, and paid him
for the goods in advance? Didn't you
have sense enough to see that it must
be a swindle2 Your moneys gone
now, and you've nothing to show for
it."
"Why, yes, I have" said Mrs. Bill

A Queer Fee.

The queereSt fee 1 ever heard of, :"
said member of the bar, "and a fee
that shows the soft side of q lawyer,
was the one given all in pennies,
newsboys' pennies to boot, to eX-Judge
Curtiss, or taken by hirn, rather,
when he went out to Pittsburg to de-
from the charge of mismanagement
of the funds of Riddles bank. 1t was
just ninety-eight cents, that fee was,
and those ninety-eight pennies were
gotten together in this way: Mr.. Rid
die, who is now prosperous broker
here, was in his Pittsburg days one of
the wealthiest and most liberal men in
that town. Every Christmas he gave
the newsboys GAlner which cost him
a thousand or two. The boys all loved
him; they all called him Billy as in
deed half the people in Pittsbarg SEEM
ed to do. When the news came out
i'll an afternoon paper one day that
there was trouble in Riddles bank
it was another official there, a man
high up i'll politics and society, who
ruined 1.-THE newsboys began to re-
alize that perhaps their friend Billy
was in trouble, too. They knew that
money cures many things, and after
moments consultation half a dozen of
them took up collection. A spokes-
man was appointed. He hurried into
the bank, handed tiny brown paper
parcel to Mr.. Riddle with the simple
words, Here, Billyr and was gone.
That brown paper contained the nine
ty-eight cents. Riddle wouldn't have
taken thousands for them. Afterward,
when he was tried and acquitted
through ex-Judge Curtiss' most elo-
quent presentation of the facts, the
Judge wouldn't take any fee from his
old friend except that tiny brown par

Onds had passed, they understood that it
came from point much nearer than be-
fore.
There was no time to lose.
The pursuers, led by the dogs, were
fast overtaking them, and ere long the
expected climax would come to pass.
Come" said Jack, hastily, "let us fly.
The doctor himself must be with those
who are in the rear, and should they
come up with us, they would just as
soon let the brutes attack us. Can you
run, Nora"
She showed him that she could, but
the thickets barred their progress con-
siderably. They had the satisfaction of
knowing, however, that their pursuers
were no better off, for they could hear
the impatient noises given vent to by the
hounds as they struggled in leash.
Jack still had his arm around his COM
panion, but had long since replaced the
revolver, as he needed his good right
hand to assist him in his passage
through the thickets, and, besides, he
would probably have plenty of warning
ere the pursuers came upon them.
They had the satisfaction of knowing
that all the while they were drawing
nearer to their point of safety, and that
if the pursuant took no livelier turn, and
they were able to keep at their present
pace. all would be well.
The country seemed to grow still
wilder, but Jack knew he was going in
the proper direction, for now and then
they could catch glimpse Of the silvery
surface of the river beyond the hanging
moss and masses OF Virginia creepers
that lay between it and them.
Things were working nicely, and in
their favor, too, so that Jack had no rea-
son to complain; but he suspected that
it was too good to last, and awaited
with each passing minute for some
change in the program.
1t came.
All at once the hounds took up psVp
cry, and no longer gave vent to the long
drawn bay, but this had been supplanted
by short, eager barks Of fierce satisfac-
tion.

CLAY Pipes.

"Old country" clay pipes are largely

friend new clay, and told him it had
just been given me by a newly arrived
emigrant from the Emerald isle. He
filled it and commenced smoking,
explaining to me all the time that
there was no Disgusting an Irish pipe,
because the clay was different from
all other clay, and the feel to the lips
was SO much nicer than any other
make of pipe. The much priced clay
was one of thousand just arrived

France, where, indeed, nineteen
twesltieths of all the clay pipes
