On the War Path,

Humorous stories arc being told now
as n sort of aftermath of the football
game. In one of the uptown hotels L
very rich and prominent business
man was seated in one Of the cafes eat
ing n few oysters before going to bed.
He Is living at the hotel this winter.
An enthusiastic, well-dressed young
man, wearing Princeton ~colors, came
into the cafe. and in 4 whirl Of de-
lirium set out to smash every hat which
he saw. The first one which he spied
was that which the business man wore,
and his broad palm came down upon
its crown with such vigor hat it was
completely jammed over the astonished
owners head. He took it good natured-
~, and was glad he did so. since he
was told a little later that the enthu-
siast was a Princeton graduate, a hard
worker in one of the Sunday schools Of
n swell uptown church, and the private
secretary of one of the most influential
capitalists in the city. The young man
the next day was abject in his apollo
gies, almost weeping, and was only too
glad to buy rs expensive a hat as was
in the market to repay the one which
he ruined.-N. Y. Press.

HIgh-HeoIed Shoea.

The streets of the old city Of Venice
were often extremely thick in mud. in
spite OF the great sewers which dated
from the tenth century. It is easily
conceivable. Even now, with but sixty
thousand or seventy thousand inhab-
itants, the thoroughfares between the
Piazza and the Rialto are sometimes
sufficiently bad. We are writing of the
time when the population was nearly
five times what it now is, and when
Venetian trade was Mt its zenith. Well,
to combat this mud, the Indies took to
high-heeled shoes. AS the mud grew
worse, the heels became taller and
taller, until at length they were half a
yard high, and rs difficult to control rs
n pair of stills without handles. The
consequence was that n lady in full
dress, obliged to walk but n few Yards,
had to be supported on both sides.
This was a task for the black pages, or
for the lovers, who had now become n
very conventional part Of Venetian So
ciety.-Nstionnl Review.

An Instantaneous Cure.

The vendcr of patent medicines is

short time ago on board a steamboat.
The sea was rough. A young

groaned until a gentleman, who seemed
to be a stranger. approached and asked
her il she would take a l~ozenger,
which he had often tried on people
with marvellous results. The young
lady finally accepted the offer. The
crfre was instantaneous. Hardly had
she swallowed the lozenger when she
was sitting up, all smiles and ordering
ham sandwiches and bottled ale. Some
passengers. struck with the incident,
inquired what the wonderful remedy
was, and the gentleman, who pro-
claimed himself the agent for the sale
OF the lozengers, disposed Of n consid-
cradle number of boxes at two dollars

Although American gentlemen have
the reputation in Europe Of allowing
the female members of their families
to do much as they please, they have
the name Of possessing the quality
which Frenchmen call gallantry. They
are not makers Of compliments.

by an EngliSh-speaking guide in the

Quoting through various points Of in

American and his somewhat q~uerulous
and fault-fndin9 wife.
