The String Brnke.

Blank comes to Brooklyn every day from
one of the prettiest of Long Island towns,
where he has one of the prettiest of cot
tages. His wife has sister in Carleton
avenue, and to this sister Mr.. Blank often
carries fresh eggs by the score. Mr.. Blank
has plenty of money, and he could easily
afford to keep a thousand unproductive
chickens, but the Carleton avenue lady
conscientiously saves all the unused bread
for Mr.. Blanks fowls, and the bane of his
life is the lady's hat box, in which it ac-
cumulates and in which it is finally trans
ported to the chicken house,
Last week consignment of eggs went
one way, as usual, and a consignment of
bread the other. Mr.. Blank is well groomed,
well attired and good looking, but he is
about as domesticated as one of his own
fowls just the same, and he never could
summon up enough courage to get up a re-
volt on the bread carrying question. His
last experience proved to be the straw that
broke the camel's back
Among his fellow passengers on the
train were two ladies. He didn't know
them then, and he doesn't want to know
them now. AS he left the car he over
heard one of them say:
'Thats the kind of husband to have;
he's taking new hat home to his wife"
Mr. Blank had the hat box by the string
with which is was tied, and the string
with which it was tied didn't happen to be
very strong. 1t broke. A choice collection
of stale bread scattered itself over the plat
form, and the ladies-well, the ladies
laughed as ladies will.-Brooklyn Life

local candidate who, even in his local
ity, can measure popularity with him.

democracy has created for himself the
devoted personal following which at

TO have engendered something of that

profound respect for Grover Cleveland,
