Row "ith's Repeater Made Sensation
at Stereopticon Lecture.

Tow mith's Repeater Made "a Sensation
at a Stereoptieon Lecture.
There is a certain young man of this
town whose newly welded wife pre-
sented him with superb gold watch
that not only chimed Off the time when
n spring was pressed but told the day Of
the month and the phases of the moon.
II also kept good time. He was natu-
rally proud of his chronometer. and was
always ready to oblige his friends by
letting them look into its intricate
works, which you must admit showed
him TO be young man of marvellous
good temper. But this same beautiful
watch was the cause of his undoing a
few nights ago,
forgot TO mention that the outer case
of tins timepiece bore the monogram "a.
w. $" in brilliants, by which you may
infer that his married name was George
Washington Slnith.
This evening in question he and Mrs.
Smith were rejoicing at dinner over the
thought that they should soon see her
sister. who was coming on from the
west to visit them in their new home.
and incidentally send ON private daily
report to her mother of how George was
treating Maude. They were to meet her
at the Grand Central station ON the ar
rival of the train due at half past .
o'clock, and decided to put in the hour
and half they had to spare by looking
in at much advertised stereopticon lee
ture.
They went and enjoyed themselves so
well THAT they well nigh forgot their en-
gagement, but a picture of the st. Pam
cr;is station in London made Maude gasp
convulsively; ''oh. George, do look at
Overstaid our tine!"
George made strenuous effort to get
sight of the dial in the Egyptian dark
ness of the hall. but could not. and his
wife noticing his difficulty said. Touch
the repeater spring. you gOoser"
The lecturer had just concluded a very
sad anecdOte and made an impressive
pause. when the hour chime in Georges
watch began to fairly boom out nine
strokes. II had never sounded one tenth
so loud before, and = nervous old lady a
few seats back began TO whiInper FIRE.
There was a wild craning of nrcks in the
audience. and Mrs. Smiths cheeks be-
came so red that-as her husband told
her afterward-they glowed like live
Goals.
George wrapped first his handkerchief
and then his coat about the watch. but
to no effect. for both the hour and the
minute bells said all they had to say in
tones that vibrated painfully through
the deadly stiffness of the house.
When they finally ceased the lecturer,
with fine sarcasm. said, will the little
boy please bring his gong up here and
ring it in full view of the audienceg"
A shout of laughter broke the strain,
and under its cover George and Maude
staggered up the aisle and ont into
Broadway. They saw in a jewelers.
window that it was twenty five minutes
past o'clock (they had entirely for.
gotten to count the repeater strokesl. and
just had time enough to get mp TO the
station in cab and meet their guest.
Mr.. Smith has not worn the watch
since then, and Mrs. Smith said to me
the other day. Wasn't George foolish
to press that repeater spring?

a STORY OF A MULE.

The first I remember of myself was the
happy time when I frolicked around my
mother, a lszy, old gray mare. I thought
could kick higher than any other mule
in the lot, and I could out run all the
horses, but it wasn't long before my
mother had to 60 to work in the field.
Right then and there the spirit of rebell-
ion got into me. I resolved that would
throw every child that got on my back.
I'll let the grown folks ride all right, but
take care for the little folks. The chill.
dren were very fond of me, and had pet
ted me all my life. In after years grew
older and wiser, too. Once there came
some visitors to the farm, and there were
some children in the crowd. 1t was Sun
day and the grown folks were gone to
church. The children thought they
would have nice ride, SO they came to
the lot and bridled me. There were two
girls and one boy, and all got on my
back at once, the boy riding in front.
Those girls were from the city and were
very pretty, but had never rode on horse.
back before. I put on long look, and
they called me 'tlazy Bob" and "old
Bob" We went down the hill 10 the
branch very we'll, for I was thirsty. All
the time I was drinking, those girls we're
kicking me ON my side and begging Tom
to hold them on. When I had finished
drinking I gave quick jump to the
bank and ran to my stable door. AS I
jumped, of went the girls right in the
branch. How they screamed 1t was
pitiful to hear them. But the thought
full little creatures soon hushed their
cries and began ringing their dresses and
aprons. Poor Tom! He had thought to
show off before those pretty girls. He
didn't fall off at the branch, but as he
rode up the hill he lost his reins and
ran into my stable before he could stop
me. The door was low and had to
stoop to get in, aud he fell off just out

Ais Wife Was a Man.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 2.-Henry Sew.
ers, middle aged man, who lives at No.
1876 West Randolph street, is mourning
the loss of a supposed wife and $3.50.
He courted Johanna Sebus by letter and
week ago yesterday he married her.
She left him as soon as the ceremony WIS

father. He gave her $3.50 when she
went away and promised to give her
$4,000 yesterday morning, when she said
she would return if her parent was bet
ter.
Yesterday morning che came back and
commenced to urge Sewers to give her
the money. He told her to wait few
days, aud she became angry. A fight
followed, during which Sewers discovered
that his "wife" was man, trying to swim.
die him out of his money.
Sewers, last July, came from New
York to Chicago. he secured q position
with George Sellenger, commission
merchant, at No. 185 West Randolph
street. Two months ago his aunt died
in Germany and left him $4,000 which
he received shortly afterwards. When
he received the money he determined to
take unto himselfa a wife. In an adyer.
tisement which he inserted in several
newspapers, he stated his age and the
amount of money he was worth. He
wanted to marry at once. This was con.
sented to, and, wedding was set for
February %.
About Z o'clock last night Sewers's
friends camo to the house. Johanna
kept asking for the money and Sewers
became angry. Hot words we're ex.
changed and soon fight was in progress
between husband and wife. During the
struggle, in which Johanna vas the az.

STORY OF A SHOE.

When I was made I thought that I was
very pretty. They pnt ffteeu buttons
on me and q fancy tip on my toe. They
scolloped me around the button-holes,
and put spring heels on me. Then they
polished me and put pretty black silk
tassel on me. Then they numbered me,
put me in a nice box marked "Misses
bootees, size No. l, price $780," and sold
me to a merchant. He put me on
shelf in his store. One day little girl
came along and wanted pair of shoes.
Pointing to the box I was in she said,
'Let me see those" so he took me down.
The little girl said, "This is the pair I
want" She took me home, tried me on
and said, Mamma, don't you think they
fit all right?" Her mamma said, eyes,
they look NICE" The little girl put me
on and wore me to Church the next day.
She walked very proud. guess every
body saw me. When she went home her
mamma made her. pull me off and put
me away in the closet. The next day
she begged her mamma to let her wear
me to school, but her mamma said, "No,
you must wait until you 60 to Church
again." She thought ooh! that will be
too long"
When I began to look old they pol.
ished me, and 1 looked almost new again.
The little girl wore me so much, and
used'me so roughly, that I got tired and
thought I would wear out, SO hole came
in one aide of me. She said, "Just look
here, mamma, there is a hole in my nice
bootees" Her mamma said, "Well, I
am not surprised. You rip about in
them so much" She wore me to school
then, and the scholars though I was the
prettiest shoes in school. The little girl
said, "You just ought to have seen my
bootees before they got old. They we're
just beautiful" They said, "We did see
you with them on at Church, and
thought they made you look pretty" I
got tired going to school through the
mud, 80 I just wore entirely out. The
last thing I remember is that they cut
the nice buttons off me to save for
another pair that would loose their but.
tons. Then they threw me aside and
said, swell, we have no more use for
you." Now I am lying up in a dark
closet, and no one ever has any use for
me, but I get to rest all the time, and
that is better than going to school
through the mud.
