The Way of the World.

81 met that Mrs. Smythe coming UP
the avenue with a great bunch of pink
roses pinned on the front OF her black
dress. What taste that woman has,
"But, Ella" said the mother OF the
young lady who was speaking, pink
and black go well together"
eyes, but pink and wrinkles don't.
Roses on that elderly specimen-the
idea"
The ''elderly specimen" went home,
took off her roses, smelled OF them low
ingly, shook their petals tenderly, and
then with a little sigh, put them into
pasteboard box, and called messenger.
"Take these to Blank hospital and
give them to the little girl in room No.
of the children's ward.
We will follow the roses.
A little girl, pale, deformed, lay sleep
ing on a narrow cot. Her face was dis
tressed, and in her sleep she murmured
over the one word pain"
When she opened her eyes she saw
something pink.
"Ohm she cried, ''my dear, dear roses!
Mrs Smythe has sent them. How |
love them"
They lightened her room, and lifted
the cloud from the dark horizon of her
life, and brought breath OF the air and
sunshine that to the child were only
heavenly dreams.
Mrs. Smythe loved flowers, too. That
was why she wore the roses home, be-
fore she sent them out on their mission.
And, as usual, the world misjudged
her.

4 New Fad of Chicago Girls.

EThe girls have new fad now, SAYS
the Chicago Tribune. 1t is called the
autographs plaque" Like all fads, 1t
has swept the home OF the young wo-
men like wldfire, and has accustomed
no end of sharp comment by members
of the sterner sex who have been mnlct-
ed OF dimes.
The photographic plaque" is an inge-
Nous device of china firing concern,
and it's purpose is financial gain for this
establishment. Pieces of cardboard 10 by
10 inches in size are distributed where
they are likely to meet with favorable
reception. These pieces OF card con-
tain a circle in the centre-a reserved
space large enough for reproduced
photograph. From the circumference
Of this circle extend lines to larger
circle, like spokes in wheel from the
hub to the tire. The spaces between
these lines are for autographs.
There are fifty such spaces, and 1T
has been declared the proper thing for
a girl to get the autographs of fifty OF
her male friends written within them.
An unwritten law in this fad DEGREES
that each autograph writer must pro-
duce dime with his signature. When
all the spaces are full and each name
paid for the girl has S., and this S., il
sent TO a certain place with the card
and a photograph of the owner, will
secure china PLAGUE with the pic
ture and autographs reproduced and
fired.
1t is q great scheme for the girls who
have little or nothing to do, and sigma
lures are greatly in demand.

The Final Resting Place of General Albert
sidney Johnston.

The Final Resting Place of General Albert
Sidney Johnston.
| Special CoTresDeadeses ar the Reoistey.
AUSTIN, Nay 5.-When die want
handful OF Texas earth upon my
breast"
These words were spoken on one oc'
casion by General Albert Sidney John
ston. His wish was fulfilled, and his
grave in the State cemetery here is full
OF interest to the visitor. Texans es-
pecially love to speak of his burial here,
and they point with pride to his grave,
simple unpretentious as 1t is.
Albert Sidney Johnston loved Texas,
and whatever concerned her honor OF
happiness enlisted his warmest Sympa-
thies. His first connection with Texas
affairs began during the revolt OF this
State against Mexican authority and
tyranny. Joining as private trooper,
be was rapidly promoted until finally APP
pointed TO entire command Of the Texan
army. During Lamar's administration
as President, Johnston was appointed
secretary OF war. He resigned his posi-
tion in 1910, visited the United States,
then returned to Texas and spent a num-
Der OF years 10 retirement upon his
plantation near Galveston island. He
is next heard of as Colonel OF the First
Texas rifemen during the war between
the United States aud Mexico. Then
he was appointed paymaster in the
United States army, and in 1855 was
made colonel OF the Second cavalry,
which was intended for active service
in Texas. His resignation OF his COM
mand in California in 1861, journey
across the waste OF desert and wilder
ness to Texas, final arrival at Richmond,
the Confederate center, and assumption
there of the command OF the Army Of
the Tennessee are well known facts in
history.
The death of Johnston at the battle
of Shiloh, just at the moment Of vic
tory, when he saw the foe receding and
felt convinced that the day was won,
has been often described. He died as
the true soldier prefers to die-on the
battle field, and with the shouts Of his
comrads still ringing in his ears. His
death was terrible blow to the Con-
federacy, and many claim that it sealed
the fate of the South.
The removal of the remains OF the
dead general to Texas is often spoken
Of by those who were living here at that
time 1t will be remembered by many
that after his fall upon the field Of Shi-
Ion his body was carried 10 New Or
leans and inferred in tomb in st Louis
cemetery. On account of the capture
OF that city it remained there until the
conclusion Of the war.
On October l. 1866, the Legislature OF
Texas appointed committee to proceed
to New Orleans after the adjournment
and arrange for the removal OF the re-
mains of General Johnston to Austin.
They were to come by way Of Calves

Proceeding to the Call Box without q
nrIr

/
Driver.
District Engineer McGroarty, of the
Brooklyn fire department, and his dri-
yer, Thomas Sweeny, says the New
York Herald, had narrow escape from
death by being thrown from their
wagon while driving to fire in the up
per section of the city. The axle broke
and the two men were dashed from the
wvgon into the street.
| A first and second alarm were sent
| out from the box at the corner of Allan
tic and Classon avenues at half-past z
o'clock. The neighborhood is thickly
populated and the majority OF the build
ings are frame tenements. The section
is in the Eighth district, covered by
Engineer McGroarty. The engineer
on Herkimer street, near Brooklyn ave-
nue.. The engineers horse is large,
clean-limbed bay. He is fully trained
FIRE horse and answers to the name Of
Tom.
When the alarm came in Tom ran out
! OF his stall and took his place in the
| shafts OF the wagon. Driver Sweeney
fastened the harness and jumped into
the wagon. McGroarty took the reins.
| When halfway between Nostraud and
Bedford avenues the right axle broke
with a loud report, and McGroarty and
| Sweeney were thrown headlong TO the
ground. The reins were snapped out Of
McGroarty's hand, and striking the
horse served as a whip to urge him for
ward.
Sweeny picked himself up In time to
see the horse dash around the corner Of
Bedford avenue. Then he looked
around for the chief. McGroarty was
lying on his side grooming. He was
assisted to his feet by bystanders.
81 am pretty badly shaken" he said,
"but I'll manage TO get to the fire.
You go and look out for the horse"
Sweeny started off to hunt for Tom,
and McGroarty made his way to the
fire, where he became so i'll that Chief
Engineer Dale had him removed to his
home. McGroarty was severely bruised
and was thought TO be injured internal
ly.
Sweeny's search up Bedford avenue
for the horse was vain one. At the
corner of Atlantic and Bedford avenues
he found one wheel and the body OF
the wagon, which had been torn off by
co!liding with one OF the Long Island
Railroad posts. Sweeny went as far as
the boulevard, and then he made his
way over to the fire to see how the chief
had Jared.
The fire was in a frame house at No.
1916 Pacific street, near Clssson avenue.
Arriving there, to his surprise, he dis
covered the horse, with only the shafts
and the two front wheels attached,
standing quietly in the centre of small
crowd of people near No. IA engine.
There l found Sweeny with the big
horse rubbing his nose affectionately
against his shoulder.
"Just to think of it," said Sweeney,
''Tom knew just where we were COM
ing. We have been over TO this place
half a dozen times within the past
three months. The last time was only
two weeks ago. Each time we came
through Herkimer street to Bedford
avenue, then up to Dean street and
along Dean street to CIasson. | have
just learned that Tom took thu same
route tonight.
1.-The first thing the firemen knew he
dashed into the midst of the engines
with the shafts and only two wheels rat
thing behind him, and kicking his way
to the centre he stopped"

The Dissatisfied Young Woman.

There was once q beautiful young
woman who had the rare good fortune
10 receive an offer Of marriage from a
young man who was rolling in wealth,
and living in the same lap Of luxury in
which he had been raised He was so
madly and desperately in love with the
young woman that he was willing TO
agree with any condition she might
name, consequently when she said that
she would not marry him unless he went
into business, because she could not be
the wife Of an idle man, he promised to
90 at once into anything she mightna
Being an ariStOcratic young woman she
said she would like him 70 become a
banker He at once went into banking
and knowing nothing about the bus
mess failed inside of two years after
the marriage ana lost all his fortune.
Being too proud TO canvass for books
and too delicate to swing a pickax, the
young man blew his head off and the
beautiful young widow was obliged to
take In washing until her knuckles
shone like the bosom Of a pair of 50
trousers.
The moral Of this fable teaches ms
that we should always leave sufficiently
well on alone.

consequently Mackey lost the bet.
True to the wager he allowed his hair

A woMAN's PROVINCE.
Itisa womsn's province TO dance. II
IS natural-as natural rs Is her lustlnct
10 pleasa those who admire. The sci
epce with which she invests this
attribute has been evolutionary,
OF course. The Caucasian w0-
man could not dump into the
dancing ring I'm the same circle with the
Turkish slave. She could, however,
invent ideas or theories which should
make the progress Of her art pleasing
without possibility Of ofTeuSe. She did
This. and the result was that Fanny
Ellslers. the Mme de NeStriS and the
grest TaglioniS Of the early part OF the
century. Women such rs they brought
dancing TO it's very pinnacle OF
art. Women lent their graceful
presence, men went wild over
their efforts, and all the world APP
plauded. Then came another interval,
when dancing IN public took on a cOarS-
or streak. This was IN the nature OF a
holder evolution OF the nude We all
know what Is meant by that when we
sneak OF 1.-THE Black Crook" and kind
red and later explorations. But even
then the BontantiS anu SOhlkiS of their
dsy presented the conventional ballet
dancers dress, with its 6eShy tights,
its mass OF Illusion, and the Saucer-like
skirt Of satin which Topped up and
down.
The world tired Of pink tights encas
ing muscular limbs, about which there
finally became horrible suspicion Of
sawdust, and the last decade witnessed
the end OF it all. The ballet dancer,
with her bouquet and her satin slippers,
went 20 join the burnt cork gentlemen
who found himself retired at about the
same period.
The skirt dance, so called, is the latter
evolution or the idea. ROSina VOkeS
first pointed out the stage possibility of
an attractive feminine dance in woman
" costume / was she who conceived
the possibility of pleasing her own sex
as well as catering 70 the blaSe tastes of
men. 1t was her delicious handling Of
full skirts, her chic, and abandon in the
full garb Of conventional society, which
first pOpulsrized the idea OF full-skirt
dancing. Lesser women of the stage
have taken up the idea, and now we
have skirt ond serpentine dancers from
Marie Jansen down to Louie Fuller or
vice versa. We can even find skirt
dancing Of certain kind among the
slums.
Even skirt dancing, however, Is seek
