A Generous TIoster.


Some time ago, when the new Japanese
minister to the United States passed
through San Francisco on his way to
Washington, he staid day or two in
the Palace hotel One night he gave a
way up banquet up stairs to select
party of wealthy and prominent citizens
Of the town, entertaining them lavishly.
The service was, of course, furnished by
half dozen Of the colored gentlemen of
the house, who, stimulated by promise
Of liberal tips, did their level best to
make everything pleasant. The minister
was delighted, and when his guests had
gone he ordered his secretary to fetch
him purse. To each man and brother
he handed three coins. They thanked
him profusely, and got out without de-
lay.
Next day there was great uproar in
the Japanese quarter of the hotel, The
minister, ignorant of our coinage. had
given each Of the walters three twenty
dollar gold pieces, and on finding out bis
mistake he wanted to undo 1t. After
much searching the lucky Africans were
found, and under threats of summary
discharge they were compelled to give
back what they had not spent, with a
drawback Of three silyeE. dollaralapiece.

Baby Cot II.
New York World

1t was with what they call languid
grace that she took seat in Twenty
third street car yesterday, and there was
some more languid grace about the way
she took up room enough for two and be-
gan eating chocolates out of a half
pound paper box. She had hair of gold,
and two men who sat opposite seemed to
give it much attention.
Natural" whispered one
"Bleached," replied the other.
81 know it's natural"
81 know it's bleached."
The nearest person on her right was
working woman with baby nine or ten
months old. The woman kept rocking the
child on her shoulder and the child kept
reaching out chubby hand to grasp the
bright flowers on the languid girls hat.
The odds were even, but baby won.
A rock with little extra vigor to it en-
abled him to grasp flower, and as he was
carried back the hat went with him. Not
only that. but mass of golden hair as
well, showing close cropped head of dark
hair which had been artfully concealed.
"A wig, by thunderp exclaimed both
men in chorus as they rose up and rushed
out, but it was doubtful If the languid girl
heard them. She grabbed her hat in one
hand and her hair in the other and fled out
Of the front door and ran into a store, and
the conductor explained to a man on the
platform:
"By Georgel but it does seem to me that
things on this route was getting more
lively all the time.n

NOT WHOLLY CRUSHED.

[Chicago Tribune.l

The angry waves of Lake Michigan dashed
the shore and their sullen grumbling
formed background. as 1t were, to the
solemn stiffness that cavorted, so to speak,
up and down the little back parlor where
two young persons sat facing each other
"Flora Bunkerill, may ask you ques-
tioni"
"Mr. Leezer, it would be better. perhaps.
II you did not.n
The solemn stiffness had set in immedi-
ately after this brief conversation and was
reverberating yet.
Upon his face Jenkinson Leezer wore the
aspect of man who had bet on the wrong
horse, but who was used to 1t and had q
few shekels and round trip ticket left.
Whatever might have been the emotions
that surged and circumgyrated in his bos-
ON they were not allowed to parade them
selves in his impressive features.
"It isn't exactly what had counted on"
he said at last, following with his eye the
pattern Of wall paper on the opposite side
of the room, land it doesn't seem to me
you are giving me fair shake"
II am not conscious of having treated
you unfairly. Mr.. Leezer."
"The ice cream season Is about over, of

ginning, and it's going to be a long winter.

She laughed scornfully.
"You may laugh" he continued, putting
on his overcoat and taking his hat, ''but
know what I'm talking about. Good
night"
Jenkinson Leezer went out into the hall,
out through the front door, down the steps
and out at the front gate, where he stop
ped. Then, looking carefully about him
to be sure he was unobserved, he took from
his pocket a short steel awl with blunt
handle, and deep into the wood of the gate

One day smart young fellow with

trousers boarded street car In a west

form. He pulled out twist of paper
and lighted it, and began puffing,a con-
centrated essence of vile odors into the
faces of those who were obliged to ride
upon the platform If they rode 4 at all
One, plain old farmer, couldn' Il stand
1t, and stepped off to wait for theA next
car.
When he reached the station the young
fellow was there before him, and it,hap-
pened that the two met at therestau-
rant counter.
"Got any sandwiches" called the
young man to the waiter. "Here, gimme
one," and he tossed out nickel, and
then proceeded to pick up and pull apart
every one of the half dozen sandwiches
on the plate before he found one to suit
him.
The farmer, who had been waiting
for his turn, drew back in disgust. FL
nally no found something which the fin
gers OF another had not fouled, and
presently followed the loud young man
tothe car. He found every seat occu-
pied, including the half Of one on which
were piled the young mans gripsack
and overcoat.
''Is this seat taken" he ventured to
inquire.
''Seats engaged" was the curt an
swer, with look meant to squelch the
old farmer, who went into the smoking
car.
That afternoon the same young man
