| A New York Fifth avenue belle went
TO the theatre. On returning home
after the performance she discovered
that her breastpin, which was quite
valuable, had been stolen. She was
very sorry, for the breastpin was n
present. A lew days afterward the
young lady received the following let
ter:
'"The writer OF these lines has the
honor to inform you that he knows
where your breastpin is, and will re-
turn it cheeriully under certain con-
aitions.
81 do not expect to receive n reward
in money, since regard it as exceed.
Ingly vulgar to accept money from Il
lady whom idolize as much as do
you. On the other hand, it would be
very stupid in me to return you your
breastpin without getting some equiv
alent. Taking into consideration my
consuming love Tor you, III return the
missing ornament for single kiss
from your 70 ~ lips.

Fifty-sixth street with the missing

the aforesaid lips, press the breast
pin in your hand. No questions
asked. "Signed
One OF your admirers"
The young lady did not know what
to do. She wanted to get her breast
pin back, but she did not care to pay
the price. She hit upon the idea OF
sending her servant girl in her place.
The servant girl put in an appear
ance at the appointed hour and place.
She was heavily yelled. well-dressed
gentleman approached and asked:
DO you accept the terms?"
81 do"
Che stranger Familiarity embraced
her on the European plan, and 81
simultaneously imprinted n large three
by seven kiss on her mouth that
caused the policeman on the corner
to start.
Here is what promised YOU" he
remarked after the formality had
been complied with. "But," ne ad-
ded. "You will ind it like the kiss,
not quite what it is represented to be,

Frances obeyed orders,

When little Frances went to herlast
children's party she was carefully in
structed by her mamma what she
could eat. Among other things
she was allowed to eat Just three
spoonfuls OF ice-cream.
When Frances's mamma next met
the mamma OF the little girl who gave
the party the latter said:
"Your Frances is II very remarkable
child"
"In what way?"
"She was so careful about what she
should eat; and | noticed that she
took just three spoonfuls OF ice-cream
and then pushed her saucer away. re-
marking that she was only allowed to
eat that much. | think that was II
rare piece OF self-denial in one so
young. Indeed, don't thin; could
have resisted the temptation to eat
the whole saucerful myself even now,
and even if had known it would in
lure me. Frances is fond ofice.cream,
too, isn't she?"
"oh yes, very" replied lTrances's
mamma; "but she can always be
trusted in matters OF that kind"
just then the little girl came in
with her nurse, and her mamma said

General snoring Notes.

Speed in cycling has now attained 20
miles an hour The modern racer has
to be very careful about the safe con-
struction of tracks.
In his earlier days Hugh Mccormick,
the New Brunswick skater, was with
out doubt the fastest man in the world,
but youth will be served.
Alonzo Stagg, the noted athlete, de-
clares foot ball to be the finest game in
the world, requiring more muscle, pluck
and brains than any other.
Zimmerman's visit to England will
greatly increase the interest In amateur
bicycling. Zimmerman will ride Ga
inch graded machine with pneumatic
tires.
Lord Sheffield's cricketers close their
Australian tour at Adelaide tomorrow.

laide have resulted In defeat for the

Norvell, now offers to row any man in
England, barring w. G. West, on even
terms. or he will row West II the cham
pion will lay $500 20 e20O on the result.
Harding also will row any man in the
world OF 129 pounds weight for el0o or
5000 side, give or take expenses.
A great deal of pleasure is derived
from bowling, and even the spectator
who never bowls, but who likes TO
watch the game, gets lots of fun out Of
the sport. 1t is amusing to witness the
many peculiar deliveries and the
facial expressions. Some men, after
throwing the ball, make the most comic
al evolutions.
At Holy Cross College. Worcester. on
Thursday, Leahy and Owens ran dead

same men ran another dead heat in the

tured first in the run-of.
The oxford and Cambridge crews are
