Misleading Questions.

In small town in Illinois is
good natured cid Boniface, who had
heard of the eccentric individual who
when at the dinner table, was asked
if he could reach the potatoes, and;
reaching out toward that vegetable
dish replied, ''Oh, yes, easily" and
undisturbed continued his meal.
The story evidently amused this
landlord, and he resolved to put the
idea into practice in a new form.
As his customers came at all hours
of the day or night the landlord had
acquired the habit of sleeping in the
hotel office. One cold night the land
lord was awakened by a loud knock
ing at his door. Asking who was
there he was answered in silvery
voice by the question, "Can l stay
here?" To this the landlord at once
said, ''Of course you cam" but he
made no move to get up. Several
minutes passed and again there came
the query in still more shaky tones,
accompanied by a loud pounding.
"Can [ stay here all night?" One
can imagine the happy smile that
played about the landlords mouth
and the chuckle of satisfaction that
he gave as he replied, "Why, OF
course you can if you keep quiet. /"
Again there was a pause, and moth
ing but the shrieking ofthe wind Ind
the drifting against the window
panes was heard.
Then came another vigorous ham
mering and voice inquired, "Why
don't you let me in?" At this the
old man gotup and opened the door,
saying, "Did you want to come in?
Why in the world didn't you say so
and not stand out there freezing and
keeping me awaken" A remark oil
this kind and under such circum.
stances would stagger almost any
one, and the half frozen and belated
traveller held his peace, but if 9
look could have slain his tormentol
that landlord would never have
lived to perpetratej jokes upon tuturt
visitors to the town.-Chicago Her

she was Too Frank.


A charming romance has come to
light over in the unromantie city o.
Brooklyn, says the New York Even
ing sun. 1t appears that not long
ago n teacher in one of the schools
for children set them to writing COM
positions, OF which she herself was to
be the subject; that is, the scholars
we're told they might write out their
impressions OF their teacher. One OF
these essays, of peculiar literary ex-
cellence for child, drifted in some
way into one OF the Brooklyn papers,
which in its turn fell into the hands
oil young dentist in one ofthe grow
ing towns in Montana. The descrip-
ton of the teachers charms so cap
tured his fancy and fired his imagi4
nation that he was moved to write a.
letter, addressed to her in care OF the
paper which published the composi-l
ton. In due time the letter reached
her hands She answered it and a
brisk correspondence soon sprang
up. with an exchange ofphotographs
and condolences, which resulted in the
formation OF an engagement. The
marriage date was set, and shortly
before the month containing the we'd
ding day arrived the young dentist
received a letter from his tianres in
which she said that she had one more
important fact TO reveal to him,
namely, that, while her picture re-
presented her as being "a young wom-
an of some personal charms, she con-
sidered it only frank to tell him that
her beauty was marred by very de-
fective teeth, which, she naively add
ed, could easily be repaired alter
their marriage without any greatex-
pense.
Whether the young woman's phys
ical defect or her business enterprise
destroyed the young mans ideal is
not definitely known, nor is it really
known at present that the marriage
is positively declared of, but it GER
tainly does look as il it were, for
three times since the receipt of that
letter has the skituish young dentist
written to- postpone the ceremony,
and the young woman is consequent
" obliged to keep altering the fash
ion OF her wedding gowns, in order
that her trousseau may very proper
ly represent the latest modes-a
privilege which every bride is certain
ly entitled to.
This fable teaches, or should teach,
that a young woman should manage
her matrimonial arrangements with
discretion as well as with frankness

A TRAGIC END.

He worked for eight dollars week,
SO his prodigal wants we're repr essed;
But he had an imposing physique.
Which be longed to keep perfectly dressed
A superb and commanding physique.
He was bound to keep thoroughly dressed.
But his suit, it was never complete;
II he had an immaculate hat,
And i@s daintiest shoes on his feet.
He would have a detected cravat;
Wear twelye-dollar shoes on his feet,
And pieayune STYLE OF erayat.
If he bought crayat that was new.
Then his shoes would be out Mt the toes;
Let him struggle the best he could do,
He'd wear some disreputable elo'es-
Let him torture the best he could do,
He'd have some unconventional clio es.
If his beaver was shiny and sleek,
And his coat and his ulster nu fait-
Yet he worked for eight dollars week,
And his trousers were rusty and gray
He toiled or eight dollars week;
Hence his trousers were baggy and gray.
But at last his whole suit wns complete,
And he walked orth in glory and pride,
Well-dlessed rom his head to his feet;
But the very same hour he died
WelLdressed from his head TO his ieet-
In the hour of triumph he died.

MR.. BOYD IS OUT.

Governor Boyd's expulsion from the chief
executive Office of Nebraska by the decision
of the Supreme Court of that State holding that
he is not citizen of the United States enforces
a lesson which probably more persons than one
might imagine need to learn The laws re-
ating to citizenship in this country are plain
The transition from an alien to citizen is eX-
ceedingy easy Few formalties are required
and if a man is 50 needless of his interests as
to neglect Them he has only his own folly to
blame when his neglect arises as fatal bar to
ambition or gain. Mr.. Boyd was a minor when
he came to America, but has lived here and
in Nebraska during all his serious years, con-
trbuting, we dare say materially to its pros
perity. He was a resident of Nebraska when it
was under Territorial form of government,
and under the laws of the Territory he was a
citizen. But his father had never completed the
legal process by which United States citizen
ship is acquired, and what he did not possess
himself he could not transmit to his children.
The fathers failure to apply for his final papers
left it necessary for his children, if they desired
citizenship, to secure it on their own accounts.
This the gentleman who last fall was elected
Governor has never troubled himself TO do
1t is not pretended that Mr.. Boyd has acted
toward the people of Nebraska in bad faith
He claims that having been legally citizen of
the Territory, the law OF which required moth
ing but continuous residence for term of years.
and the Territory having been admitted into
the Union, he considered that he was admitted
with it.. And undoubtedly he was for all other
purposes than those for which its Constitution
and laws, or the Constitution and laws of the
United States declared United States citizen
ship " be essential. His argument, however,
