From the Chicago Tribune.
Yesterday afternoon as the crowd was
thickcst i'm the Palmer House rotunda a
young man approached a group of men at
the counter and pleasantly remarked that
it was rather an unpleasant day. The
stranger wore a shabby silk hat, trousers
shaped like elephants legs and a fancy
shirt of a pattern resembling. kitchen
wallpaper. He held a greenback i'm his
hand and seemed to be greatly interested

Ups and Downs In Market Values on the
New York Exchange.
New YORK, June 1.-THE Nock market
was intensely dull to-day. The only real
feature in the market was tn. weakness
in Oregon Transcontinental, owing to the
disfavor with which the circular to the
stockholders has been received by friends
OF the management. However, the senti-
ment will not be far reaching and as the
merits Of the scheme become known the
stock will again appreciate in value. The
opening was lower, in sympathy with
London, and until the last hour there was
a slow but steady yielding of values.
Shorts went into cover late in the day and

Will She BE a Perfect Gentleman.

bad, IN the ii. louis ReIubuc.
The rights Of man are gradually being
taken from him. and it's quite time he
should rebel. There are some things that
should be left him, and as he has always
been much nearer my heart than any
woman, beg to that i am
ready to stand up for hin and enter q
firm, IL feminine, protest against the way
lie is being treated. Whether women will
copy his example I'm behavior is some
thing / do not knew and which / will prob
ably discover In the future. Just at pres
ent she is delighted, like the little fool
that she is. IL somebody tells her that her
reasoning Is masculine in its strength.
She is charmed il she Is thought to read
the books that men would read, and she
Is willing to give her opinion on any
thing. from a buttonhole bouquet TO
double bookkeeping. She Is just as funny
as the monkey that comesiwith the organ,
for she's just as near being a man as he
is. One girl who realized this fact went
into a haberdasher's TO buy a scarf to
wear with her boyish get-up. She said to
the man behind the counter: "Oh. dear
me. | shall never be able TO do this! Why
can't | have one that's already tied. with
hooks behind?" Very politely the answer
came TO her: "Yes. madam. but no gen.
tleman would ever think of wearing n

said. II am afraid | never shall he a per-
feet g~entlemanr' l doubt IL the little
lady will ever he a perfect gentleman.

Growing AimIessIY.

Let farmers meet as often and in as
large numbers as possible, discuss their
needs fully, tell the country what they
want and what they are going to have,
in as few words as possible, and then go
and get it! There is no manner of ques-
ton as to what farmers can do if dis
posed to act; but the weapon of resOlu-
ton has lost its terror for those at whom
it is aimed. VIII the remedy be ap-
piled?
1t is we'll enough to growl and show
the teeth once in awhile, but the dog
that is satisfied with this and never
bites, Soon loses both reputation and
value as watch dog. 1t is necessary
sometimes to bite, and, when this is
done, it should be done effectually. 1t
is never we'll, in contest, to come out
second. The farmers should resolve de-
liberately, and, when they do resolve,
carry their resolutions into effect, no
matter what suffers or who gets hurt.
This is the way TO do the least hurting
in the long run.-Pittsburgh Stockman.

4 DEAR LITTLE MAID OF TWO.
you a song to a nursery tune

I'll sing you song TO a nursery tune
OF q dear little maid Of two,
Who has peachen cheeks and rosebud lips,
And eyes Of a soft sea blae;
With charms OF gleeful innocence,
That are ripe at the age OF two.
She is not ar angel no. no, no!
And Heaven b praised for that;
She is fairly human from top 10 ioa,
With limbs that are daintily Ia.
And where she trots, be il high or low,
There is wealth Of surprising chat.
Somebody's heart is strong and brave,
And somebody's love is true,
BY day. by aight, they are amply tried
BY this little maid Of two;
but somebody's love would never tire,
Had il ten times more 70 do.
What reward does somebody get
Dear dreamer with eyes Of blue?
4 kiss, smile, from the roguish pet,
A tender caress OF two.
Why each of these is a Heaven OF bliss,
From a sweet little maid like you
Come, happy maid, with the sea-bright eyes,
And prattle about my knee,
Then lay that soft round cheek 10 mine,
And laugh in innocent glee;
THAT childish talk and downy touch
Give JOY and strength 70 me.
Then grow, my sweet, az well you may,
And he like somebody, true,
For high-born danes Of noblest heart
HaYo been as tiny as you
and in the maiden Of twenty-one
May we find the maid Of two!
