Phoebe out of the old blue ginger jar
shat Uncle Julius had brought home
from China, little thinking that the old
slanteyed, fat-sidcd mandarin would
take such a jocular interest in her
joys and sorrows.
The old blue jar had perched for
many years on the corner of the high
mantel.piece in the old-fashioned
country parlor, and Aunt Phoebe knew
that if she gave it to Clementine
she would have a dreadful lonesome
feeling every time she stood on chair
to dust the old clock, the shells, the
peddler vases, the feather fans and
other companions of its lofty abode.
But Clement:ne was an accomplished
wheedler, and the fond old aunt finally
said she might have her wish.
When Aunt Phoebe gave over to
Clementine her right and title to the
old blue jar, Randall was leaning in
the window and idly sitting rose leaves
from the old climbing vine through
the meshes of his tennis racket He
isympathized with her lively admira-
tion for the antique and unique in
china, and was glad that she had at
tanned her hearts desire, but more
absorbing interest possessed his manly
breast.
Clementine was going home in the
morning, and he had been trying in
vain for several days to get the feeble
courage of his ardent convictions up to
the declarative point. She was such a
lively, fun-loving girl, and love, you
know, is such intensely serious bust
ness. Several times Randall fancied
he had found her in sober and prop
erly receptive frame of mind, when,
with. a trifling jest, she would defeat
his intention and put the little god to
fight
Now. however, when the slant-eyed
mandarin on the blue jar winked at
him through the vines, Randall said to
himself, enthusiastically:
well, old boy; that's the very
thingl Thank you for the bright ideal
Are they all as clever as you are over
in China?"
That night, in his room under the
caves, he constructed an eloquent let
ter to Clementine, and in the early
morning sneaked into the parlor and
deposited it in the robust bosom of the
old blue mandarin. rs AIS# a
IF she finds it before she goes home
it is all right" said the timorous, ador-
ing fellow, t'and If she doesn't find it
until afterwards it will be all right,
too" pWT@ Nt1Tnw 4nisN
But the mandarin felt little funny
that day; so when Clementine packed
her trunk he inspired her to stuff the
ginger jar full of her silken hose, that
TIE precious article might take no risks
of breakage in its voyage. So, when
Randall parted from her at the station
she made no sign of knowing anything
in particular, and his hopeful heart de-
cided that she would surely find the
letter when she reached home, and he
would then hear from her.
Now Clementine was girl who al
ways had great many things on her
mind, and when she had unpacked the
treasured jar and placed it on dainty
table in her pretty parlor-with self
congratulatory thought that it was so
respectable to. have things that ones

Dogs in native or wild state never

bark they simply whine, howl or growl;
the noise which we call barking is
found only among those that are domes-
ticated. Columbus found that to be the
case with the dogs he first brought to
America and left at large, for on his re-
turn he tells US that they had lost their
propensity to bark. Scientific men say
that barking is really an effort on the
part Of the dog to speak,

i. wilkes Booths Trunks.

MONTREAL. Nov. IA. Antiquarian
Snaith has obtained conclusive evidence
that the trunks found on the schooner
Marie Victoria, wrecked in the autumn
OF 1864, were the property OF J. Wilkes
Booth, the assassin of President Lin
coin. During that autumn several trunks
marked ~. w. B., New Providence"
were shipped on board the schooner
Marie Victoria at Quebec. How they
reached Quebec is unknown. 1t would
appear that Booth lin anticipation of the
murder of Lincoln) had secretly sent his
theatrical wardrobe through Canada and
had it shipped from Canadian port, in
the expectation of finding it to hand in
one of the southern states when he had
succeeded in the object which he had in
view, and that the conspiracy to assassi-
nate President Lincoln was calculated
month before.

The Police Team Challenged by Ten
Lighter Men.
The police are greatly worked up over
the coming tug of war. Sergeant jeff
ries thinks that bis team has double
distilled. gilt-edged cinch on the first
prize. The police team, as published in
the HERALD, is very heavy one, but
whether they are possessed of the nee
essary stamina and endurance is very
open question. Several policemen told
the sporting editor last evening that
they can organize team to beat the
one selected and authorized the issuance
of challenge. They propose to pull
Captain Roberts and Sergeant Jefries's
team either Tuesday or Wednesday, at
any spot or place designated. Ii the
cleats are not ready, they are willing to
60 out on any lot and settle the ques-
ton of supremacy. Sergeant Jeffries
and his team of heavy-weights cannot
afford to ignore this challenge. The big
little men say that the big men wont be
in the contest.

A DRINKING CONTEST.
The Greatest Quantity of Beer Ever
Consumed in One Night in Los
Angeles-An Enthusiastic Occasion.

Last evening in the Palace more beer
was consumed than ever before on one
evening. The cause was that the I'M
approachable Culmbacher beer brewed
by Wielands' brewery was placed on
draught, and the patrons of the Palace
took advantage of the opportunity.
Before 10 O'Clock the receipts of the
previous Saturday had been sur
passed by $500. Combined with the
advantages Of this most celebrated
Wieland's Culmbacher was the concert
offered by Professor Pomandy, the chief
feature of which was the selection of
music by American composers, specially
arranged for this occasion. Papa
Schurtz had his hands full in keeping
quiet the representatives of young
America, whose patriotism upon hear
ing their national airs threatened to be-
come uncomfortable.
