Twenty-Five shoeless Passengers.

An amusing contretemps. though an awk-
ward one for the persons principally interested,
says the St. Paul Globe, occurred on the Mil
waukee train to Chicago one day last week. It
was the regular train leaving st. Paul at D. NJ
and arriving in Chicago on the following morn
ing. One sleeping car leaves St. Paul with the
train and goes clear through to Chicago.
Another is added al La Crosse and dropped off
at Milwaukee.
1t had become habit with the porters of the
two cars to take the shoes to be cleaned from
the forward car to the rear o. e. where they
would converse while putting on the necessary
polish. On the particular night referred to
both the porters had been regarded rather freely
with drinks from travelling TASKS. They fell
asleep over the shoes, and when the car was
dropped off at Milwaukee two porters and all
the shoes belon ling to people in the forward
car were dropped Off, too.
The spectacle presented at the Milwaukee
depot in Chicago when the train arrived was
to say the least an unusual one Twenty-Five
shoeless passengers kicked vigorously for their
lost 5rogans, and big crowd had fun with
them. The railway management was equal to
the occasion. A shoe clerk was promptly on the
spot each man, woman and child was rapidly
measured, and in less time than would seem
possible those passengers were newly shod at
the expense of the Milwaukee Railway Com
pany.

After her wearying tramp across the con-
tinent Actress Zoe Clayton appears to have
actually realized much less than has been
represented. Travelling 1896 miles in ZIG
days for only s.. 800 seems to be a pretty
hard way Of earning money. Yet that
amount is said to be all that she will really
receive. Nevertheless she gets great deal
of free advertising out of it which may be
utilized in her business as a stage attrac-
tion. No doubt but some manager will inn
mediately want to star her on the faith of
her newly acquired notoriety.

They promised me flower bed

Beneath the ivy vine.

The daily rose bush too;
But for the rest they'd let me plant
Just as chose to do.

The sun shone warm and still;
set it thick with flower seeds
And roots of daffodil.
And all the while dug, planned,
That, when my flowers grew.
I'd train them in lovely bower,
And cut window through;
The visitors who drove from town
Would come out there to sec;
Perhaps I'd give them each q bunch.
And then how pleased they'd bel
made my plans-and then for weeks
Forgot my roots and seeds.
So when came that way again
They all were choked with weeds.

As well as the palace Of marble white,
With pillar and gilded dome;

And bitter the draught Of fate,
For eyes grow dim and souls grow hard
Where the wolf is joined with hate
Where hearts are tender and thrill with love
In castle or dug-out bare,

For truly home is there.

Pause awhile with spreading wings,
To smile st the glimpse of Heaven here

Charles, how can you be so foolishly

But Mr.. Oswald is your best friend,

quent visitor here"
20, yes, suppose so," remarked Mr..
jackson, taking his leave.
Mrs jackson, a young and beautiful
woman, was very much hurt by the un-
kind insinuations of her husband,
whom she loved dearly. A sudden idea
flashed through her mind, and taking a
seat at the writing desk she penned the
following lines, which she hoped would
reassure her jealous lord and dispel his
unworthy suspicious:
my Dearest Darling: 1t is difficult for me TO
assure you verbally that you alone are the only
man love, and that am wholly Indifferent to
all others. so write you this letter."
The front door bell rang, and before
Mrs. jackson could finish the letter to
her husband the servant ushered into
the room Mr.. Oswald, the object of her
husbands jealous fears He was a
young man and strikingly handsome.
Laying aside her pen, Mrs Jackson
greeted the new arrival

he gallantly handed her q bouquet of

the better. He need not know any

said the visitor. taking chair and
drawing close to his fair hostess. ''The
fact is, my dear Mrs jackson, that for
q long time have been watching for a
good chance to talk with you about a
matter that concerns us both"
Mrs Jackson turned pale. Was her
husband, right, after all? Did his
friend have the audacity to speak of
love?
1T is about a little love affair of
mine," continued Oswald. with deep
sigh; 81 am deeply in love, and 1 rely
on You. If you will consent"

arose. and casting whitening glance
at her visitor, Indignantly left the

| a voice tremulous with emotion, hold
ing in his hand an open letter which he
had received from Mrs. Jackson's sis
ter, Fanny:
Excuse me if I intrude, but
knocked twice on the door and got no
answer. l have just received letter
| which l cannot understand, but for
| which must have an explanation"
'.My dear friend," said Jackson, tear
fully, ''you are not to blame. II is
all her fault"
"Of course I am not to blame. You
are not to blame either. The fault lies
! with the tickle woman who wrote the
letter. said Oswald, supposing his
friend referred to the letter written by
| Miss Fanny. ''YOu have nothing to do
with this outrageous letter which your
wife's sister has written to me. What
have done to deserve it," and he held
out the exasperating document in his
trembling hand
What have you done to deserve it?''
said Mrs jackson, with fire in her eye,
did you not dare to talk to me of love
| in my husband's s absence?
"What!" rOared jackson, ''have You
really been making love to my wife?''
Il was speaking to her of my love
for her sister, as you can read in my
letter there, when she left the room.
Why did your wife write me such a
letter as this?" said Oswald, producing
Mrs. Jackson's letter to her husband.
$50 you do write love-letters to gen.
tlemen." yelled Jackson, turning
fiercely to his wife, as soon as he had
glanced at the letter which Oswald
supposed was intended for himself.
"Yes, to my own husband" said Mrs.
jackson.
OF course everything was explained
at once, much to the embarrassment
and also relief of all the implicated
| parties. Mrs. jackson was recOnciled
to her husband, and Miss Fanny, who
found it convenient to put in an ap-
pearance, blushingly confessed that
she had been prematurely severe with
Mr.. Oswald, and became engaged on
the spot. Mr. jackson promised never
again to allow himself to become the
victim OF the green-ryed monster.
while Mrs. jackson was equally pos
tive that any future confidential COM
munications would be impaired to her
hus band verbally, and not by letter.

Gently mentioned fact which may b
known to few, and will be of interest
to many.
"Fiftyyear before the war;" he said
my ia ther, Smith Agnew, lived will
his stepfather, Rev. DIR. Dobbins, in the
stone house on the Baltimore pike, q
short distance from Gettysburg. Al
that time he was q lad of seventeen
years. He took entire charge of the
farm, which in some sections was very
stony. One day the thought STRUCK
him that these stones could be utilized
by gathering them and building with
them . stone wall He enlisted the
services Of = negro who resided in the
vicinity, and together they hauled the
stone to the place selected and built
the celebrated stone wall whose name
will exist while history lasts"
Young Agnew built his wall with
great care, using large fat stones as
binders and filing in with smaller ones,
little dreaming at that time what an
important place that wall would oc-
cupy in the greatest battle of modern
times. 1t was here that Gen. Pickett's
division, headed by his valiant Virgin
ians, made its memorable charge, and
although it was thrown into confusion
by the fanking fire of Stannard's Yer
monters and Doubleday's division, still
pressed forward and at last succeeded
in planting a confederate flag on this
wall, only, however, to be driven back
with the loss Of three-quarters Of its
number by the Sixty-ninth. Seventy

volunteers under Gen Hancock
After peace had been proclaimed Mr..
Agnew visited the old homestead and

this will throw some light on the sub
