WILLIAM ANp us sMILE.



Tho Chicago Police Meet an Original
Character In Overalls.
The most ORIGINAL character with whom
the police have had 70 do for months struck
town on Tuesday. His name is William
Rexford, and he halls from a farm near
Sioux CITY. Ia. William Is a blonde faced,
long cared country boy Of nineteen years.
wears blue overalls, a hickory shirt and an
expansive. euileiess smile After leaving
the train William bought a fifteen cent
dinner, and then found himself penniless
and alone in a strange city.
But William was not dismayed. He
trudged along Milwaukee avenue, gazing
at the sights and attracting no small degree
Of attention himself He stopped to look
in the window Of George FobOrg's gun
store. Then he grinned more broadly than
ever and entered the store.
He priced several revolvers and finally
selected large double action one and said
he'd take it. He also said be would take a
box of cartridges, and started to load the
weapon
The proprietor anxiously intertered and
offered to do the loading himself, fearful
that this guileless country lad did not
know how. Then Mr.. Toborg explained
back to William with a -four dollars,
please" smile, which made William grin
broader than ever.
Hand over yer cash, mister" said viii
lam, still smiling, and leveling the loaded
revolver at the proprietor's head.
He threw up his hands and gasped,
Murder murderP and fell, rather than
ran, the whole length Of the store and out
Of doors. There be found Officers Dietz
and Rossiter.
The two officers, with dark lanterns and
cooked revolvers, searched the rear OF the
store for the guileless William, and then
Rroped their way down to the basement.
William was behind a post, revolver In
hand. He received the officers with his
habitual grin, and threw up his hands, re
marking:
well. Fu be gosh dernedF

The season of travel near at hand revives
interest in the question of the reception OF
women alone at hotels Almost every hotel
proprietor will say, on being questioned,
that all such unescorted guests would, at
his place, be accorded a respectful welcome;
but it happens often that women reaching
houses of public entertainment unattended
are not received. Last summer in Sarato-
ga, in the height of the season. a young
woman travelling to join party Of friends
was delayed by railroad wreck, and in
consequence lost connection with the north
bound train She reached Saratoga about
/ O'Clock in the morning, in the very height
Of the season. and went at once confident
" to a hotel where she had occasionally
stopped with friends. She was refused a
lodging.
She tried one or two others with the same
result, and at last abashed and mortified,
she found a policeman, to whom she told
her story and begged him to find her
refuge of some sort. He then accompanied
her, but they visited three lodging houses
before a proprietor was found who would
give to the almost desperate young woman
a shelter. 1t is significant, too, that the
proprietor in question was another woman,
and not one of the clever hotel clerks who
pride themselves on their ability to ''size
up people.
An even more aggravated case occurred
in New York last winter. A lady over
fifty years old, with gray hair and Of dis
tinguished appearance, came with her nus
band from their suburban home for an
evening ut the theater In leaving after
the performance she became separated
from her husband in the crowd, and spent
time enough in vain endeavors to find him
to lose the last train home. She went,
therefore, to a first class hotel, and one
where a friend of the family was regular
boarder. She WAS refused a room. Indig
nant, she said she was friend Of Mr.. -,
who boarded there The room was still de
MED. Then she asked if Mr.. - was in.
Yes, he was in, but had gone to bed She
had him aroused, with the word that
Mrs. - wanted to see him. Soon he
came down to the office, and in two min
utes the house was at the lady's disposal.
This would seem to indicate that our
Wanted boast that woman may travel
alone from Maine to California in perfect
comfort and safety is not upheld by facts

Probably the most notable Of neophytes
was the Vicomte Guy de Brissac, one Of
the best known and most popular Of Paris
ian clubmen. His achievements on the
turf as the owner Of small but exceed
ingly choice stable were only equaled by
his successes in the salons and boudoirs OF
the gay capital. and if ever there has been
one who has merited description as a
spoiled child of fortune, Guy de Brissac
was the man. A year ago his fancee,
whom he worshiped, died of a rapid de-
cline-that strange malady which seems 70
enhance and etherealize the beauty of its
victims, and to ilumine their eyes with a
strange light.
She rests beneath a snowy marble cross
in the pretty little cemetery that nestles
among the pine trees at Arcachon, and to
day her lover, the pleasure seeking, skep-
teal and worldly Guy de Brissac, who had
disappeared from all his accustomed haunts
since her death, turns up at Biskra, on the
borders Of the great desert, in the guise Of
the newly consecrated Warrior Monks OF
the Sahara. -Harper's Weekly.

The law lays down no rule as to the for
malities to be observed by a practitioner
when prescribing for a patient and he may,
and often does, prescribe perfectly well by
merely giving verbal directions to be OBJ
served by his patient. When, however,
those directions include the use Of any par
ticular drugs, it is usual and convenient to
put them into writing, so that the patient
may not make any mistake in ordering the
drugs which he is advised to use
The use of giving a written prescription
does not affect the property in the piece of
paper given to the patient. It is his the
moment he receives it, unless by custom
or by special agreement it belongs to some
one else. A custom 70 be good in law must
be general, and there is no custom as that
a prescription belongs 70 any one except
the patient at present known in England.
The paper therefore belongs to the patient
unless he agrees with his medical attend
ant that it shall not.
1t is, of course, open TO any practitioner
TO stipulate that his prescriptions shall be-
long to himself, OK shall only be made up
by a particular chemist, who shall destroy
The paper as soon as he has used it, but it
is equally open to each Of his patients to
decline to be bound by any such stipula-
ion.-British Medical Review.

Expensive Pets and Cheap Human Beings.
In the price list Of the Hagenbeck Sale

appear, however, modest, if compared with
those of amateur horse breeders and dog

there are race horses that could not be
bought for less than $4,000 The African
dealers in two legged household pets are,
on the other hand, remarkably liberal. In

bought for eight dollars. Males come a
little higher But on the upper Congo job

The Oxford university income amounted
to e65,OOO in 1890, Of which $4,000 came
from fees and other internal services, the
degree fees alone coming to just el0,OOO-
The university draws about &l6,0OO from
various external sources, 21S, 600 from trust
funds, $4,000 from the colleges, and the
profit from the Clarendon Press was 5000.
1t speaks wen for the administration of the
university property that 'agency and man
agement'' cost only 600. Professors take
about $4,000, university officers $4,000,
examiners e5, 100, and readers e25OO.
The Bcdleian cost $500, the museum
"a, 300, the Taylor institution $4,000, and
the botanical gardens 81, 100 while $4,000
went in various internal expenses, and in

now vary from year to year, except in quite
small amounts London Truth.

A young woman who teaches school in a
neighboring town is now suffering from
the results Of a sincere act Of kindness
that she recently performed. The young
woman thought it would be nice thing
one pleasant, sunny day not long ago to
give the children of her class an outing
There were about thirty in the class, and
they were all youngsters Of tender years.
She informed them at the noon hour that
she would take them for a walk in the
afternoon, and at the request of several
who wanted their little brothers and Sis
tiers to 90 along she gave permission to all
of them to bring their friends if they chose.
This was what caused all her trouble She
did not know how popular she was and
what an attraction the prospect of walk
in the fields was TO the children Of the
neighborhood.
When school was over she started out
with her class The route had been pre-
yiously announced, and as they went
along they met contingents Of the friends
of the members GU every corner. These
all fell in line and swelled the process
sion until it became of really remark
able proportions, considering that it was
under the charge of one young woman.
Everything went fairly well in the city, but
when the fields were reached the children
broke ranks and scattered and the young
woman was unable to control them, al
though she did her best.
The weather changed and the rain began
to fall, and the young woman gathered her
charges about her as best she could and
started for home, the children struggling
along after her. The rain was not serious,
81 obi Il n fN
line as it neared their homes, reached their
mothers in safety, but in the hurry some
struggled and were lost, aud through the
early hours Of the evening their distracted
parents sought for them, finally discover
ing them in the police station. The young
woman is now receiving a great deal of
blame for letting the children go adrift,
and she says that probably she deserves it,
although it seems to her to be rather hard,
in view of her kind intentions.-New York
