ALMOST A TRAGEDY
Powerful Emotional Scene Enacted
In Club Room.

Powerful Emotional Scene Enacted
In Club Room.
1t was q club in which gaming for
money was strictly prohibited.
A low murmur came from the richly
tapestried apartment as the crouper
this isn't his right name), in a low
monotonous tone said "Mugginsl"
every once in q while.
81 tellyou," said Harold Sashingby,
"that the tiddle-de-wink was moved
at least quarter OF an inch"
"And | tell you boy that you are
forgetting yourself"
Quick as a flash Harold had drawn
his trusty paper-cap pistol from his
inside pocket, but with q quick move
ment Jack Seltzer disarmed him.
"Listen, rash boyH' he said. "You
were a very powerful monocle, do you
not?"
81 do"
"And in making your play in fiddle
de-winks, whichis essentially a game OF
skill, you shut one eye?"
"Of course"
"It is an easily demonstrated optical
fact that an object when seen with one
eye through lens seems to have q
very different size and relation to it's
surroundings from what it does when
seen with the other eye naked"
Harold laid q three-cent piece on
the chair, adjusted his monocle, and
with great deliberation shut one eye
and then the other.
Then without saying word he
threw open the window and discharg-
ed his papercap pistol harmlessly i'll
to the air
In very short time Harold Sash
ingby and Colonel Seltzer were part
ners in one of the most exciting games
OF parlor croquet that the clubs hist
ory had ever known.-Washington

THE LADY AND THE BOBBY.
A Funny Scene and Quick Repartee
In a ST. Louis Street Car.

A Funny Scene and Quick Repartee
In ST. Louis Street Car.
The cars on the Fourth street
cable running east were almost de-
serted, when one with fewer passen-
gers on board than any that had
preceded it was passing Lafayette
Park. 1t had almost reached the
corner of Mississippi avenue when a
young lady OF attractive appearance
and genuine refinement boarded it. She
was evidently young schoolma' am.
She had reached. the center of the
platform and was facing the interior
of the car where pleasant faced Of
ticer of Hibernian extraction was
seated, together with one or two
other passengers. AS she was about
to step into the car it started with
that sudden jerk peculiar to the
Fourth street cable. She was of
course thrown forward, and in trying
to fall into a seat fell into the police
officers lap. Everyone in the car saw
just how the accident had occurred
and there was nearly smile at the
young lady's predicament. She, how
ever, was not the kind to beovercome
by an accident of this kind. By the
time she was on her feet again she dis
covered the lace of her dress had be-
come entangled on the brass buttons
of the officers uniform. The officer
saw it at the same time, and while
trying to disengage it, said: MADAME,
l am attached to you" The young
lady fully appreciated the situation
and pertly answered: "Sir, the at
tachment is mutal." - st. Louis

4 MAIDEN,

As heavens splendor shining olue
Her eyes must seem, my friend, to you
On whom she deigns to smile and give
The food on which young lovers live
Rose leaves of flame her lips do seem,
As fashioned by Desires dream;
Each botanist would wish, / wiss,
To press such petals with kiss!
Thc very eloqucnce of grace
Her form, her step, her pretty face;
1t is wonder she were given
A chance to wander out of heaven.
