was dying of consumption. Death was
Just about to lay its skeleton fingers upon
her tired heart. Her eyes began oassume
that fixed, CLASSY expression which imme-
diately precedcs dissolution, and she
gasped painfully for breath. The scene
was well studied, realistic and pathetic,
and she was about to drop into the arms
of her agoniZed lover-dead-whens several
women in the audience laughed.
Immediately the face Of the dying wom-
an assumed Il stern and angry expression.
She stood defantly erect, and pointing her
finger at the offenders said in withcrinS
tones: ANY woman who would laugh
during such scene as this is utterly void
of any sense of delicacy or refinement or
feeling. She is totally lacking in the senti-
ments of common humanity, and could
not appreciate anything higher than the
Topsy or the donkey in Uncle Toms
Cabin
When she had delivered herself of this
ebullition of Indignation she calmly and
deliberately proceeded to die in the most

Done Up by His Own Hand.

There is an author in this town, though
the world perhaps hardly knows it, who
writes Il worse hand than did Horace Gree
ley He hugs the delusion that he writes
beautfully-all internally bad writers do.
About a month ago newspaper man
made the author-you will observe the dis
tinction-a bet that if he sent short story
to certain magazine in his own hand
writing it would be returned to him With
or without thanks, and that the same story
type written would be accepted.
The bet was accepted the trial made, and
the newspaper man won the bet. The story
written with pen came back. With it
was polite note stating that Mr.. -
must not suppose that the story was re-
jected for lack of merit, etc, etc. The
type written story was accepted, and the
check somewhat recouped the author for
the money lost on the wager.-littsburg

"I've had some very queer experiences
with owls" said the lame commuter.
There was one owl that came about my
grounds that we killed in II remarkable
manner He invariably kept Lis head
stuck right out at us, 50 that it was impos-
sble for us to shoot him anywhere but in
the face. And he seemed to like that sort
of thing, for if the bullet flew Il little too
high or too low he would simply raise or
lower his head, as the case might be, and
catch it in his mouth. sat out on my
back porch and wasted n lot of bullets Oh
that fellow, just to amuse him.
"Well. kept pcgging away at him, and
he began to grow thin. Finally, while
was shooting at him one evening" he top
pied off the tree stone dead"
"That last shot took effect suppose"
said the little man with the chin whiskers.
"No, sir; not at all. That confounded
owl had got so much shot in him as to in
terfere with his digestive organs He stood
it as long as lie could, and then died of dys-
pepsia It's queer about owl,. New York

They had a rpolE full of feathers which
