Mr.. CLEVELAND has written letter,
in response to inquiry, which means that
he is a candidate for the Presidential
nomination of his party. In the mean
time Senator Hill is swinging around the
circle in the South, having receptions of
no small character. and making capital
for his candidacy. 1t is safe to predict
that the Democratic party will make its
choice between these two, and that all
other supposed candidates will be put in
the background.

these stepping stones are Of great value

clerk.
"Well, 1 couldn't tell exactly without
seeing en-. Just show me some boys
pants"
"Of course, to DO sure; how would
these suit him?' and the clerk displayed
n very cute affair for boy of about five
years.
"Oh, sakes alive! he's bigger'n that;
he amt no baby, Johnnie amt"
would these be about tho figure for
himI' and the clerk presented another
pair to view, very much larger

fit him. I'm quite sure"
"Sakes alive! Hain't you got nothin

Yes, but thought you wanted tnom
for u small boy"
well, he's quite Il good sized boy"
"Here's another pair. assure you
these would fit n largo sized boy"
"Shoo! them wouldn't reach to his
ankles. He'd be worse off in them than
the ones he wears now. Git somethin
about foot longer"
"1ou mean IL mans size, don't you?''
mo, l don't. They're for my little
boy"
"But we have nothing larger in boys

"You ain't?"
"No."

I'd better look some other place"

and tho clerk conducted the woman to
another department and presented for
her examination q pair of trousers de-
signed for the adornment of a man OF
about six feet.
ooh. them's tho very thing. How
much be they? Why didn't you tell me
you had 'em afore?"
Because didn't know how big your
little boy was. 1t seems to mo he must
be quite chunk of boy when q mans
clothes fit him."
swell, declare to goodness; it must
be that he's man. Inever once thought
on it that way afore. it just struck me
this minute. How they do grow up,
don't they?"

been concluded the perplexed and sur

a Hard Woman to Deal with.

"a woman" said the florist, "who never
has any money but what her father or hus-
band gives her is the hardest kind of Gus.
TONER we have to deal with. For myself
would rather not have that kind of woman
come to my place. Such woman does not
know the value of money nor the worth of
merchandise sold for money. She pins us
down TO the last penny, and frequently, il
we accepted her etfcr, we would lose on the
sale. This close bargaining must not he

was laid i'll il southern seaport town, where
long ago IL general and an admiral were
nciShbors. The generals house was fronted
by II grass plot, on which he claimed the
right to pasture II COW. One day his wife
complained that tho supply of milk WAC
falling short. The sentinel accounted foy
the deficiency by saying that the pasture
had lately been much trodden down by the
public. Thereupon the martial despot
gave orders that no (human or other
animal except the COW should be allowed
on the grass plot, and addcd-men were
not particular i'll those dnys-that if this
rule was infrinSed the sentinel should be
logged

destructive fires in its history. Box Elder
street especially was mass of flames.
The shrill cry of fire was heard swell

flames like great fork-ed tongues, licked
up the last pat of butter the widow
Overholt had. Great, strong men ran
to and fro wringing their hands or rush
ing madly Into the heat and Aying to
save the nice, new grindstone.
Now the flames licked mp the husk
