Didn't Want Her Love in Sections.

AS rule Chauncey M. Depew has
new stories at his finger entls each day.
1t is almost impossible to put in cold
type the humor of one of his stories.
for the chief charm consists in his in-
imitable way of telling them. Not
long ago Il mature spinister called up-
on the famous after-dinner speaker
and asked him to give her some infor-
nation about real estate. He said
there were two things he knew moth
ing about. and they were women and
real estate. This reply amused her,
and she asked him Il number of ques-
tions about people whom they both
knew in common. After she pro-
pounded the following questions about
a stammering bachelor she asked no
more. but went her way:
Where is Mr. Blank, Mr. Depew?"
He is in the city" replied the only
Chauncey.
Does he stammer as much as
usual?n
"Oh, yes; worse, 1 believe" said the
orator
Strange he never married"
No, it was not strange, dear lady.

''Oh. that's simple enough! | marry

Hardships of the Fourth Fremont
Expedition.

The Century printed posthumous
account by n survivor of the fourth ex-
pedition of General Fremont. The
scene is in the neighborhood of the
Rio Grande del Norte. The writer,
Micajah McGehee, of Mississippi, thus
described the effect of the cold upon
the animals.
The farther we went the more OBJ
stacles we had to encounter; Difficult
ties beset us so thickly on every hand
rs we advanced that they threatened to
thwart our expedition. The snow be-
came deeper daily, and to advance was
but adding dangers to difficulties.
About one-third of the men were al
ready more or less frost bitten. every
night some of the mules would freeze
to death, and every day rs many more
would give out from exhaustion and be
left on the trail. 1t seemed like fight
ing fate to attempt to proceed, but
we were bent on our course, and con-
tinued to advance. AT one time men
were sent ahead to report the pres
pect. and returned stating that grass
appeared in the distance before them;
they supposed that the snow was abat-
ing, but on coming up what they saw
proved to be the tops of bushes six feet
high projecting above the snow; nor
did anything appear upon which the
animals could subSist. The corn we
had packed along for them was al
ready consumed. Sometimes we would
attempt to move on. and the severity
of the weather would force us back
into camp. In one of these attempts,
before we could beat our way half Il
mile against the tempest, our guide,
Old Bill Williams, was nearly frozen;
he dropped down upon his mule in a
stupor and was nearly senseless when
we got into camp. A number of men
came in with their noses. ears. faces,
fingers. and feet partly frozen, and
one or two of the mules dropped down
and froze to death under their packs.
Poor mules, it was ptiable to see
them! They would roam about all
night, generally. oh account of their
extreme weakness. following back the
path of the previous day. paving in
snow three or four feet deep for some
sign of vegetation to keep them alive.
They would fall down every fifty yards
under their packs, and we would. have
to unpack them and lift them up and
that with fingers frozen and lacerated
by the cold. Finally they began eat
ing the ropes and rawhides lariats with
which they were tied, until there were
10 more left in camp 10 tie them with;
then they ate the blankets which we
tied over them at night; then they
came into camp and ate the pads and
,irpinU off tho mack SllIlpS and ,ta
one another's names and tails entirely
bare. even into the flesh, and would
come to us while sleeping and begin to
eat the blankets off us; they would
even tumble into our fires, over the
cooking utensils. But, poor things,
little relief could we afford them, for.
although they suffered much, we were
in no better condition.

Hit Him on the Weak Spot.

One evening four or five drummers
and agents who had been working
Quincy. H.. to no purpose were dis
cussing their i'll luck in the Office of
the hotel, when one observed:
There's an old shad down here in

This is about the fifteenth time I've
tried for an order, and it's no go.n
old chap with big nose on him?"
queried one OF the others.
Yes
Ordered me out of doors, confound
him."
And he told me-" said thiro',
'that he never bought of an agent,
trusted stranger, or got caught on
any mans game"
That's old Blank to a dot" put in
the landlord. He's as sharp as he is
stingy."
Considerable more was said in the
same strain, but by and by man
who had registered from Chicago put
in:
Boys, it's all in understanding hui

himself, and said:

Well. sir, in just twelve minutes he
had old Blanks order for book. and

would take it. He had l,it him in his
weak spot, and our money fell into his
pocket with a thud which could be

Women Who Please Men.

Man. in many respects. is a peculiar
animal, SAYS writer in The LADIES'
Home JOur9Gi. He is easily persuaded
bv woman. but he cannot be driven.
A woman who seeks mans admira-
tion and says by her demeanor or by
suggestion admire my beauty or my
brightness is the woman from whom
man will turn quicker than from
anything else. A woman always makes
Il mistake when she attempts to force
her beauty or her talents upon man
or upon another woman for that mat
ter. A woman who seeks admiration
always reminds me of hollyhock, con-
spicuoas and Haunting, and anxious
to be seen. Now. men never care for
holyhocks 1t is not mans favorite
flower. The violet or Il half-b blown
rose is more to his taste. Go where
there is company of well-dressed
men. in evening costume. with bou-
tonierres, and, if in season, the violet
and the rose will be seen on the lapel
of nearly every coat. And what is
true with men Of flowers is true of
what he always associates with them
women. A man likes > discover a
violet or rose; he wants to find out
its charm himself; he ,oesn't wish a
directory to aid him i'll this. and he is
very contemptuous of the woman who
here. there and everywhere asks his
admiration. The women who are pop
ular with men are the women who inn
press them with their wOmanliness.
and by this is meant that subtle some
thing that says Il do not thrust myself
forward. but perhaps if you find me
YOU may like me-" Men have always
liked voyages of discovery, and they
like to seek the ideal woman, and not
have her thrust her greatness upon
them.
