Story of a Ballet Girl.

riage of Ward McAllister's nephew with
ballet girl recalls an interesting inciden,
in the life of Joseph Jefferson, the come

trlumphal engagement in London mum
Der of New York swells determined to
honor the actor who had made so great a
stir in England. Accordingly splendid
dinner was given to Jefferson, and all the
conspicuous representatives of Gotham

the very morning of the day when the
great banquet was served Jefferson's SON,
Tom, married very pretty and estimable
girl who had been member of one of the

which Toms prospective wedding was
mentioned.

Tom was married to day"
"But it is not true, l suppose, that he
married a ballet girl?" inquired the aristo-

The Boy Wasn't asked.

The Rev. Samuel G.. Smith OF St. Paul
is not only for pulpit oratory, but fo
! practical works. He holds, it is said, tina
one atom of practical Christianity is WORTH
| a world of mere piety. He is ever ready
| to step out of the pulpit and take hand ir
| the enforcement of'the law. He is himself
keen in the use of .ridicu:e and as keenly
sensitive to its sha fits when it is turned
upon him. He is therefore ever on the
alert to avoid being vbctimized in any way.
The following joke concerning him is
going the rounds.
Some time before w. P. Murray ceased
to be city attorney, DR.. Smith happened in
upon him one afternoon, leading a boy of
II years by tho hand.
Mr. Murray, I want you to have -
who keeps saloon down here on Fourth
street, arrested. He gave this boy
drink"
'Well! ahemn' was the first character
istic utterance of Mr.. Murray, with
Wlnking, twitch or two of the head and
brush or SO of the hand over the head and
face. "What time were you in that sa-
loon-lad!" quizzed the attorney.
Jest KEN out minnit ago." replied the
boy modestly.
Hum; yes, yes! How did you come to
go in'''
Don't know. Jest happened tor
"Gave you drink, did they!"
'Yaas"
And the boy wiped his nose with an up
ward stroke of the palm of his hand, while
DIR. Smith looked on with an expression of
satisfaction. Mr. Murray scratched his
head minute and proceeded.
"Ahem; well; what did they give you to
drink?'
"Glass of water,' replied the youth.

the divine, turning very red in the face
