Many years g Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, wa in the habit Of
dining at Windust's, a noted restaurant
on Park row, that was a favorite resort
of actors and literary men. 1t usually
happened that Forrest would be Joined
by friends, and that the little group
would sit together at one table. On one
occasion it CHANGED that an Englishman
with a reputation for conceit and imper-
Thence, who had scraped acquaintance
with the t~ragedian, was one of the group.
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms,
which he considered pleasantries, about
Forests conception Of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor, and con-
cluded each of his impertinences with,
Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"
To the establishment of all who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patiently
and seemingly ignored them as far s
possible. When, however, the nuts w q
brought in by the waiter he took several
cracked walnuts in his hand, and, walk
ing over to the Briton's place, jocularly
snapped them successfully in the lace of
that individual, lightly saying after each
shot, pardon my freedom, sir; it's my
way" and snapped him out Of the res

There is a belief current that what
ever a be procured for money car be
had in this city, especially if it is any
thing to eat. The people who flock here
from every part of the country are apt,
ooner or later, to import their native
dishes, and to make them acceptable to
gastronomic New York.
New England, no matter how lightly
her cooking may be estimated, has had
notable success of this kind. Baked
beans, pumpkin pie and Boston brown
bread are with us. The western man
and his pork are known and appreciated.
The Frenchman, the Irishman, the Eng,
hshman, the German and the Italian
can go into any restaurant and find his
national food.-New York Evening Sun.

An Old Time Conductor.

We had a conductor named William
Ford, who was the most pompous and
imposing IA l ever saw. He was no
good, and the boys called him Windy
Bill on the sly, but the hardest of them
dared not say anything less than Mr..
Ford to his face. He was a big man,
and dressed in the best broadcloth and
walked about as if the earth belonged to
him. One day he walked into the office
at a station where my wife and little
boy were sitting in the waiting room.
AS he passed through every one made
room for him or tried to show him at
tention. My little boy watched him
quietly till he disappeared, and then he
whispered to his mother, MA, was that

The terror began last fall, when the
farmers found large stones thrust into
their wheat sheaves and two or three
thrashing machines were ruined. Then
the school house was Quilted and finally
burned. The church was bombarded and
all the windows broker out. Then peoples
houses began to suffer, her fathers first
and worst of all. Stones weighing fifteen
pounds were hurled as IL from n catapult,
sometimes splitting heavy doors. Super
stition added its terrors. Children were
afraid to stir abroad after dark, and many
adults began to talk of a curse OH the
neighborhood."
Guards by the dozen were set, and oc-
casionally they saw a ghostly figure, but
could not overtake it. Tracks of a bare
footed person were found in the snow, and
at last they were traced to the house OF
Samuel Wolther. He was arrested, but
easily proved his innocence. A detective
was brought from Chicago, but gave it uI
as a bad job. At last a watching party
caught Lydia in the act, but she outran al
of them but a Mr.. Venie, and when he
came up with her she mad a vicious slash
at him with n butcher knife. He knocked
her senseless with his gun, and she was
soon in the county Jail.
There she kicked all the furniture to
splinters and fought like a wild beast till
placed in the iron cage. She refused food
for three days, but weakness seemed to
partially restore her reason She was re-
moved to the insane asylum and was al
most unnaturally calm till food restored
her strength, when she broke out in mirth-
full %exultation over the mischief she had
done. Her practice had been to slip out at
night after the rest of the family were
asleep. Her parents are very respectable
people, and her two sisters are above aver.

A DREAM OF LONG AGO.

l stand in the land of the Long Ago
And my heart Is light and my mind is free.
And the breezes are soft as the winds that blow
Der the isles of the old Egean Sea-
II is only a dream-would | never could wake
To the throb and to yearn for the youth time
gone;
Would it could last; for the heart must ache
When the Real comes back and the Dream
has flown.
l lie by the river of Long Ago,
In the golden time of the golden June.
Oh, the grass Is sweet, and the rivers flow
y Is whispering over the dear old tune
That 1 hear with a passionate content,
Tho my hearts ablaze and my pulse aglow:
But / never dream that this life was meant
To hold such a pain as this Long Ago.
Only a dreamer, and only n dream;
But was there ever a dream like this7
or lilac and roses, and the CLEAN
OF a girls warm eyes, and the ~clinging kiss
or a boys first love-had 1t been the last,
As i swore In my fervor II should be sol
Perhaps there would be no sting to the past
Or pain in this dream of the Long Ago.

La Grippe,

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency Of
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur.
ing the cpidemics of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case that

pneumonia. Fifty cent and 81 bottles for
