TnE 1os ANHE1Es tIrRAtn: FRIDAY MoRN1Ne, NAY IS 9g
A woman with Five poone.s.

A Young man came up town to his
home and dinner the other afternoon in
Broadway car, and just about Tenth
street, where the big shops begin, the
overloaded team halted to take in one
more passenger. She was tall, slim,
pretty girl, dressed in a brown gown, and
the Young man noticed her at once
first. because her face was exceedingly
charming, and second, because she
carried nothing in her hands. Not even
the tiniest purse or the fattest card case,
he swears.
On carefell cross examination he could
not tell how her gown was made or what
shape of hat she wore. But this much he
does know, that after she got ON she
actually did push her way well up in the
car, in exact obedience to the conduct
or's humble suggestion, and she also lift
ed up one of the empty hands, gloved in
a heavy three buttoned, stitched red dog
skin, and held so firmly to the strap that
she did not lose her footing when the car
| turned a curve.
Yet more remarkable, when the long
suffering conductor came collecting, she
calmly thrust her free hand into the folds
of her frock and into an invisible pocket,
set lust about where such convenient re-
ceptacles are put in a mans trousers.
This was on the front of the right hand
hip. Apparently not feeling the right
change there, she brought down the other
hand, and while the young man gaped
with amazement, she ran it into another
deep invisible pocket on the left hip. He
swears he recognized the rattle of keys
and a knife, and when the hand reap
peared it was full of small change. The
conductor satisfied, she resumed her
strap and looked calmly over the young
mans head till another woman got in
who recognized the young lady, and much
chattering followed till the second wom-
an wanted to know the time.
Then he almost lost his balance watch
ing the first young woman unbutton hel
loose boxcoat to reveal white shirt
front and high buttoned waistcoat, il
the front of which dangled watch
chain. Into side pocket went the hand
out came an openfaced watch, then from
an inside breast pocket was drawn 6
little fat red memorandum book, and
bracing herself the owner jotted dowI
some important address given by the first
woman, buttoned herself up snugly, drew
dainty silk handkerchief from some
where under the tail of her coat, touched
her dear little nose, and signaling to the
conductor swung off with all the easy
nonchalance of woman hardened te
the convenience of five pockets and {
coat tail handkerchief bag.-New Yorl

Atchison's Maids and Matrons.

Asgirl in Atchison has peculiar way
of attracting attention to herself. She
scallops her finger nails, and leaves them
that way.
An Atchison girl recently refused to
marry man, saying that she thought
too much of him; she believed she was
certain to think less Of him if she mar
ried him.
An Atchison woman has the fad OF
naming her cats, dogs and chickens for
her friends. When her neighbors hear
her abusing Mrs. Smith they know it is
not her friend she is abusing, but the
cat, which has probably been stealing
cream.
An Atchison woman, who used to
worry herself sick and thin with jeal-
ousy, has settled down to a common
sense view of men, and is now plump
and full of health. AS result her
formerly frisky husband has become
very devoted and dutiful.
An Atchison woman, who recently in
terviewed twelve married women on the
subject, finds that four married to es-
cape being old maids, two married for a
home, five married because some other
woman wanted their husbands, and one
married because she really thought so
much of her husband that she could not
help herself Globe.

An Artist Fooled.

Irving Montagu writes in "Wander-
ings of War Artist" ''One evening l
met two very fascinating Spanish girls
in quiet quarter of Irun, one of whom,
being blonde, was enveloped in white
mantilla. 1t being customary on meet
ing white mantilla to extend her some
what similar homage to that paid to
royalty, raised my hat, and stepped on
one side to allow the couple to pass
when, in doing so, saw to my horror,
by the light of the moon, that they were
followed closely by grim and grotesque
reptile, half lizard, half frog, which
with series of spasnodic bounds, was
making directly for their heels. Oh, the
hor-id beast, the indescribable mon
strosityi To rush forward and trample
on the uncanny thing was the work of a
moment.
81 was dumfounded; my exploit of
heroism, far from inducing the gratitude
Iexpected, was Immediately followed by
rears of laughter, the merry ring of
which reverberated on the still night
air. 'Unconscionable fool does not ex-
press the ittleness felt as I was sub
jected to the ridicule of those willy dam
sells, and if man is capable of that be-
coming popularity, I must have blushed
scarlet. I had trodden on Ell drap-a
piece of cloth cut into the semblance of
some monstrous lizard, and attached by
a thread to the skirt of the maiden, SO
that, by certain dexterous movements
and hitches it could be made to leap
after her as she hurried along. 1t was
the Basque equivalent for the old English
jokes practiced on the 1st of April"

Several bishops have expressed tho

In any case the question has heen open
