A Night with Artemus Ward.

Francis A. Hoffman, Jr. L was O
sophomore at Knox College, Gales
burg, H. The students of the college
were always on the alert to do some
thing to relieve the suffering of that
little city and vicinity. On one occa-
sion we had the good fortune to secure
as an attraction that eccentric humor-
list, Artemus Ward. We met him on
his arrival and did all that was proper
in the reception of distinguished
guest. The evening came on for the
lecture, and the lecture was delivered.
After its delivery A. Ward was our
guest. We took care of him. Before
doing so. however, we counted up the
receipts of the house. Mr.. Ward COR
Browne) at once became magnanimous.
Our terms with him were that he was
to get one-half of the receipts and the
poor one-half. When the proceeds
were counted out Mr.. Ward said in his
droll way: "Let the poor have theirs /;
and you, gentlemen, must allow me to
spend my half in your midst. insist
upon your accepting my hospitality
until the last cent of my half of the
proceeds of to-night's lecture has been
squandered. Let us begin at once"
The net proceeds amounted to 81. 35.
The amount "squandered" was $3.671.

jected on account of deafness.

continued.

sponded his wife, in the shrill treble she
always used in addressing him.

be" he rel orted.
Neither be the Weidmans, Dick Nose
ly, bat they've got sense enough to look
out fer number one. They amt dirt
poor"
Neil, lying at full length on his couch
in the loft, smiled grimly at their alterca-
ton.
Dick amt fit to manage here, but
don't care" he muttered; then turning
his face TO the wall, he slept through
sheer mental and physical fatigue.
When he awoke it was growing dusk
and Mollie was calling 10 know IL he
were sick, or why he did not go out to at
tend to his part of the chores" as usual.
No sooner was breakfast over the fol-
lowing morning than he buttoned his
coat about him and started off.
Some way, Neil acts awful queer, :"
shrieked Mollie to her husband.
Does he?"
Does he?" she muttered, turning away
in disgust. How stupid men are, any
way. Mark amt, though, and Neil didn't
use to be.
1t had been terrible night at Mark
Weidman's.
Kits mother had been summoned but
vainly she tried to think of something
comforting to say. The outlook was
dark
Kit might. in fact would have to stay
there in their little cabin home with her
little ones. There was no room for her
at her fathers. for already widowed
daughter had come back there with four
children.

A New TOn.BOOt for Ladies'.

Among the latest European fads is
the wearing of top-boots by ladies.
The idea seems TO have had its incep
ton among the Spanish ladies. 1t was
afterward adopted by the French, the
latter having voted them the proper
thing for driving in T-carts, phaetons
and other carriages in which the ladies
occupy the front seat. They are made
up in the lightest manner possible,
some with high heels and others with
low.
Various combinations are used, such
as patent leather vamp and heels, glaz
ed kid tops and dark morocco legs;
glazed kid vamp and heels, soft
smooth, brown patent leather tops and
kid glove legs; glove kid vamp and
heels, glazed kid tops and dull finish
ed buckskin legs. The legs are erin

A LOYesick Youth.

The Earl of Warwick has been pros
ecuting a "tripper" for inscribing the
name of his lady love on the battle
ments of Guys Tower. The name,
doubtless from motives of delicacy, is
suppressed, but it might make some
difference if it was Mary Jane or Susan;
the historical sentiment would be more
outraged than if it were Edith or Clo-
tilda. OF course it was wrong and
vulgar thing to do. If it had been his
own name the offender should clearly
have been placed lin the lowest dun
geon beneath the castle moat," or even
been decapitated and his head thrown
to the jackdaws but, since it was the
name of his beloved object" romance
must plead for him little.
1t is dreadful, no doubt, when YOU
want to throw Yourself back for half a
dozen centuries and feel feudal, or
what is far easier medieval, to be
confronted with a modern name, very
i'll carved and possibly i'll spelt; but
all women are heroines in their lovers
eyes, as AL soldiers are in theory

Haven't time this morning. Mark.
Give my respects to Mrs. Weidman. /

hand was on the latch.
Please. Neil. come here"
Ii was Kits pleading tones, aud before
he realized what be was doing the young
m an stood by the bedside looking down
into the face of the one woman he had
loved. Ii was five years since she had
told him she was going to marry Mark,
and in all that time they had never spo-
ken-had rarely met.
-oh, Neil, you are too good-you can
not mean it,
Il mean it," he said coldly.
Through it all he had never suffered as
he did now, to ses how willing she was to
have him sacrifice himself for Mark.
Ii was moment of supreme bitter
ness, yet in spite OF himself he fingered
to gaze for perhaps the last time into the
sweet face.
Her eyes were full of tears. and catch
ing his hand she passed it to her lips,
sobbing:
You are so good, so noblel If it were
not for the children we could not consent
to your going
IF only We could raise the money but
we have little to sell and there is no one
to buy what we have.
Il have made up my mind and should
90 anyway, now. There is nothing to
keep me-"
But Neil, this is too much" said
Mark, who had now sufficiently recovered
himself to comprehend the situation. Il
cannot let you 30. but if you could look
after things here some aud see that Kit
did not suffer, l could 90 easier. There
is ONLY Joe to do anything"
No use talking, Mark, am going; and
now, good-by all.
He almost snatched his hand from
Kits clasp, and was gone.

4 Pian,st'S Habits.

hours, generally choosing the morning

practice as absolutely necessary to
maintain the suppleness of my fingers
and insure my facility of execution.
Kubinstein was once asked why he
practiced so assiduously every day
His reply is worthy of preservation.
He said: IF / fail to practice the first
day / notice it, the second day my
friends notice it, the third day the
audience notices it. If L have con-
cert in the afternoon, / go without din

Under False Pretenses.

In pine forest not far from Arka-
delphia, Ark, there is a narrow gauge
railroad, built for the purpose of haul
ing logs to a sawmill; but recently it
was chartered as n highway for the
transportation of freight and passen-
ers. The other day a man was seen
walking over this road in the direction
of the Iron Mountain Railway, and
shortly after he had reached the station,
a dummy engine, pulling rusty coach,
rolled up. The conductor. who was
the engineer, fireman. brakeman,
freight ag mt and general superintend-
ent, jumped off the engine and APP
reaching the man that had just walk
ed over, angrily exclaimed;
What do you mean by acting the
wav you did,"
Il don't understand YOU" the man
retorted. What do you mean?"
"You know very well what L mean.
Wasn't you back at Olney, our east
ern terminus 2"
"Yes, of course / was"
"And didn't you ask me how long be-
fore the train started for this place."
"Yes, but what are you driving at 2"
ooh, you'll find out Didn't YOU
hold out the belief that you were going
TO ride on my train 2"
Eyes, probably, and / thought L
would, but as YOU were not going to
start soon enough to suit me, why, L

"Ah, but we started few mo nents
after you did"
That may be- but beat you in"
"Ah, hah, and that, too, after Great
ing the impression that yfu were going
to ride with me. What right have you
to come around here setting that bad
example? Don't you know that if the
people in this neighborhood see you
acting that way they will give my
train the go,by and walk? How do
you expect a railway to make expenses
under such circumstances 2"
Il don't know about that. / know
that your timetable didn't suit me,
and that / walked, beat you in, and,
moreover, saved twenty-five cents"
"Oh, you saved twenty-five cents,
did you? Well, You won't think so

is law for such fellows as you are,
and L am going to have you arrested

lenses. "-ArkansaU TraUeier.

Coin to the war, Neil? Why, | thought

draft too, nd we couldn't nohow raiss

husband, l must say as I've said before,
the Mosslys are mighty poor managers
but Neil, hate awfully to have you 60. "
They talked n long while but Mollie
never dreamed of the terrible battle her
brother fought out with himself that dull
November V.
She never knew how tempted he had
been 10 let his brother-the man who had
robbed him of his life's happ.ness-look
out for himself.
The tempter whispered, Let him go,
and II anything happens you re- ncs to
blame; then Kit will be a" But, of
course, he turned his back Mt this iunc-
tuie each time; but the struggle had been
u desperate one
He was with Gut in the Wilderness
and all through the disastrous overland
campaign. He was with him until sent
unuer Sheridan TO Five Forks, where he
was severely wounded but to him there
was never such another battle as the one
fought with himself during that mad walk
under the gray November skies.
Neil is wounded and i must 90 to

"a he read tie name. "Oh, Kittie, what

Before the sun went down that day he
had kissed his wife. boys aud infant
daughter Nellie good-by and was on his
way to his brothers side.
The meeting between them was affect
ing in the extreme. but Neil was by far
most co imposed of the two.
I've got to go, Mark. but it is no mat.
ter. / am so vlad tuat ii is not YOU"
Before the end came, he seemed to real
ize that he was not unIoved and that his
heroic sacrifice had been appreciated.
Toward the last the wounded soldier
became delirious, and il was from his
rawlings III Il his brother learned of his
great temptation and the mastery gained
over self that oventful day. He talked,

Mark sprang forward grasping his
brother by the arm and fairly dragging
him inside.
There, don't make any fuss about it, ="
muttered the young man. You can't be
spared-I can. IL will make no difference
to any one whether l live or die"
Mark had bowed his head on his hands
and was shaking with emotion. Kits
voice from the other room called feebly
TO know what the matter was. Mrs. Bell,
her mother, had gone home for few
hours, taking the little boys with her.
Springng mp again, Mark opened vide
the middle door, saying: 1T is Neil,
Kilt e, and ne offers TO be my substitute.

and be patient and submissive. There'll
be some way provided, though / don't

Poor Kit wept until completely ex-
hausted, entirely deaf TO her husbands
weak attempts at consolation.
1t was sad home, but lot the only one
in the land that dread November of 1868.
The fatal draft" put out the light for
ever on many a hearthstone.

che Postmaster at The Forks, eying the
stalwart young man addressed with a
look which plainly said, and I'm glad
of it,"
-Ispose am"

posed the Postmaster.

Neil turned a face suddenly grown
eager and white.
He Amt on the drift"
But he be-"
Yes. and told me he'd have to 90. "
added the bystander.
Without another word the young man
turned on his heel. involuntarily loosening
the scarf about his neck that lie might
breathe more easily. Swiftly he pa. sed
out into the dull November day, looking
neither to ght nor LETT.
On, on he walked. like man in ter
rible hurry, until three miles lay betwee
himself and the garrulous little group at
The Forks. He was turning in at his
own gateway, but, changing his mind, he
passed on. still at the high rate of speed
Two more miles were paced off in this
mad fashion; then he wheeled about and
faced toward home again.
When once more he found him sci Z

then he passed in and up the rude stairs
