POLITE THOUGH A BURGLAR.
story of a ParisIau CIubman and His UE-
welcome Visitor.

Here is a story which is travelling
through the Paris papers over the
signature OF no less a parsonage than
Aurelien Scholl:
A wen-known Paris clubman, the
Eiscount dc Saint-Hieul, came home
the other evening at 10 o'clock. Hav-
ing forgotten his glasses he wasn't able
TO take part in a game Of poker at the
sporting club. He hired n carriage
and gave the driver orders to take him
to his house in the Rue Saint-F.Orentin.
OF course, at that hour, his valet de
chambre was out. Saint-I{ieul entered
his apartment by means OF a night
key. On going into the parlor he
found Il stranger cudeavOring to open
a little safe The stranger turned
round on hearing him enter. Saint
Rieul took off his hat and in courte-
Gus tone said: NO doubt, sir. you are
a burglar?"
Sure enough" replied the stranger.
q am sorry to disturb YOU" con-
tinucd Saint-Rieul.
How could fellow imagine" said
the burglar, that q man of the world
like you and such 4 rcputcd clubman
could come home so early as this"
Il forgot something. Only for that
my presence would be iueXDlIcable."
The burglar sighed: Il have no sort
of luck Of late, and while waiting for a
good stroke. the plans of which are al
ready laid, just came in here to keep
my hand in, for | was afraid | might
get rusty"
Your explanations are ven. salts
factory indeed" said Saint-Rieul, but
since | happened to come in in time,
just be good enough to retire"
Certainly, sir"
Take cigar?"
with pleasure" said the visitor,
"because l would be sorry to 90 away
skunked (bredouille)"
The stairway is lighted" replied
the viscount, so that it will not be
necessary for ME to show YOU the way.
If the concierge should be inliscreet
enough to ask you where YOU are COM
ing from. tell him simply that you
have just left NJ. de Saint-Rieul."
Thank you, sir"
Light your cigar"
"Oh. don't take the trouble, sir.
have matches"
"Adieu, monsieur"
Il have the honor to salute YOU"
And the burglar quietly went down
stairs.

KISSING IN PUBLIC.
Men Not Properly Bro!<an In Blush tc
DO Il.

They were certainly very likely
and respectab!e-looking couple and
they were as loving and tender toward
each other as though they were not
yet married. The probabilities are
that in the early part Of July or at the
greatest not longer than the middle Of
June they were made one ana insep-
able, and on this particular occasion
they were to be parted for a few brief
hours for the first time since their
marriage day.
At any rate, they were at the West
Shore station very early in the morn
ing, says the Utica OJserrer, and the
appearances indicate that the young
wife was going home to spend the day.

night?" he inquired for the fifth or

earnestness that carried conviction
with it.
Then she continued: You will find
me real nice seat. won't YOU, dear?"
yes, | will get YOU a seat ali by your
self" he said, with an assurance that
meant that if he shouldn't happen to
find vacant seat in the car some body
would be thrown out Of the window to
make ~"om for his birdling. "And
l., ! l. i
by right in the coach, will you?o she
inquired, looking tenderiy into his
eyes.
"Oh. ! guess I'd better kiss you here
before we get into the car. People al
ways stare So" he answered eya.ively.
But like to have YOU kiss me the
last thing" she pouted, land | don't

it might be unpleasant for you. |

would make fun of us if | should kiss
you gOod-by there"
I'D like to know what that is but
being ashamed of me-" she exclaimed.
i just don't care a snap whether you
ever kiss me at all or not. | think
you have no business to treat me so,
and | don't care if l do miss the train
tonight"
Settle it! Settle!" shouted a voice
over in the other corner, where
drowsy drummer was stretched out
with his head on his grip and his legs
over the end of the seat. Kiss her in
both places or else let me-" And the
young people walked out on the plat
form and around the other side of tho
building.
When the train came. fifteen min
utes later, he walked right into the
car and found her a seat and then bent
down and gave her a smack that
sounded like the blowing out of a CYL
inder head. As the train moved away
the drummer turned around and said:
Il congratulate you, young lady;
you've got him well broke

A LITTLE FUN.
What Two Sewsboys Were Doing to Kill
Time.

Two newsboys engaged in stilted
controversy recently in front of the
custom house. such ! controversy as
can only be carried on by newsboys.
1t had reached the stage of personal
reflections and one said; You ain't
no more count n 'er yaller dorg, no
'er man cf you'd give ii to him"
"You'se a-lyin' and you'se knows it.
kin sell more papers in an hour'n
what YOU kin in six weeks and lick you
BESIDES" said the other and much
smaller one.
The next minute they were a min
gled mass of legs and arms and heads
and mouths and noise, and were rails
ing dust enough to cause a sprinkling
wagon to be sent around on the dou-
ble-quick.
While they were thus engaged a
comely looking young woman came
tripping along, holding her skirts
deity in one hand Seeing the big
boy just then give the little boy left
handler in the jaw she went into the
scrap herself and grabbing that boy
she shook him until his bones ratified
anu MS eyes were Almost DGlglhS Out
OF his head. Finally, dropping him on
the pavement, she said:
Now reckon you will let that lit
tie boy alone. You ought to be
ashamed Of yourself, you big, cowardly
scamp, you."
The boy surveyed himself and as the
young woman started up the street
said;
You wanted somebody to look at
yosl mighty bad, didn't you?"
She looked at him as if she would
have liked to kill him, but she did not
she went on.
Some wimmen is mighty scrimshus
about two kids havin' little fun"
was his comment to the crowd as he
went in quest of the other boy, who
had escaped in the melee.

All EXPERT IN COW FLESH.
What He Didn't Know About Catti
Brands Wasn't worth knowing.

Some years ago when the cattle
business was in its prime in Texas ana
wealthy stOckmen accompanied their
shipments to the eastern markets, a
party of these genial, free-and-Gasy
gentlemen were entertained by their
; city friends at breakfast in the Palmer
house, Chicago.
Naturally the conversation was
somewhat stocky.
"Bless your souIn exclaimed a much

Kansas City. Il never depend on the
weigher in an estimate of my cattle. |

within a few pounds of where he'll tip

"Oh yes" said one of the hosts. You
know cur famous stockwOman on east,
MILDLY Morgan, was wonderfully pro-
tcient in that line. All the big buy
ers wanted her opinion Of steer be-
fore anybody else's"--
Gentlemen, broke in an old long
horn who had been apparently absorb
ed in prolonged and frantic effort to
cut his steak "Gentlemen," LAYING
down his knife and fork, readjusting
his glasses and ruefully surveying the
adamantine morseI. Il reckon you
would be surprised if l was to tell you
that | am that perfcient on cow flesh
that | can tell the brand that was OF
the steer that steak was cut of uv?"
They all confessed that that would
indeed be carrying the science to a
wonderful degree of proficiency.

tinued solemnly, IN bet 500 and

no longer the only accompaniments Of
drink OF liquor in the small bar

each customer 4 small handful of wa

there is wonderful medical virtue in
