The pelu.,on About Ideals.

The ideal woman or every man Is
the "womanly woman. The ideal
man of every woman is the manly
man. And the expression "a
womanly woman means pretty
much the same to every man who
uses it, Just as the manly man" of
one woman expresses certain
combination of qualities well known
to every other woman. The man s
'womanly woman" IS gentle,
amiable, quiet and domestic. She
loves to sit upon a low chair and
hem things with the lamp light fall
ing over hair. 1t is unnecessary to
say that although in theory this is
the sort of woman a man prefers
in practice he may choose one en-
tirely her opposite. She does not
exist in large quantities, which is
lucky, as she might prove dreadfully
insipid il she did.
The womans manly man
means a man strong, brave and dar-
ing He must perform easily bold
deeds which she dare not attempt
She likes that-in dreams. In actual
life she may find that man neither
daring nor bold has satisfactory and
endearing qualities which make him
more after her heart than the ideal
of her dreams could ever be. We
are not all alike, thank Heaven, but
various. And the spark of origi
nality which is implanted in each of
us all is the thing to cherish and de-
velop and not distort ourselves into
ideal forms.-Harper's Bazaar.

ROMANCE OF WAR AND TURF
An Untold story About The Great Trotter
Gray Eagle and His Owner.

OF the many bits of unpublished
romance, the natural hotsam and
jotsam of the receding tide of war
about the national capital during the
close of the long, dark days, there
is the following lately come 10
light-almost companion piece, in
an humble way, to the now famous
biography of Black Beauty, says
The Washington Post.
1t happened late in the summer of
'65 that played-out looking Con-
federate eayalryman. no uncommon
sight, ambled into the quiet pre-
cincts of Georgetown astride of a
flea bitten, switch tailed skeleton of
a horse, and, stopping in front of
Hazel's, the best known livery es-
tablishment of that town, called out
the genial dealer in hcrsefesh and
opened negotiations for the sale of
his mount The American latter
sail ran over the points of the wreck
with careful eye, and at the end of
the examination was less surprised
than would have been less expert
enced Judge when the soldier fixed
his price at $50
OF course the figures lid not pass
without dispute, but after some
chatting the difference was split at
$135 and the trade closed, the dis
mounted ranger pursuing his way on
foot toward Dixie considerably bet
ter fixed than before in the matter
Of incidental expenses, and the horse
dealer leading mis- new purchase
within where he was groomed, fed
and watered By the old black stable
boss as he had not been before in
many day.
This care and attention kept up
till far into the autumn, when the
crisp north winds fired the leaves of
all the forest outside and sent the
blood coursing faster in the veins of
all creation, while the forest worked
down into the ground and toughened
up the road beds for speeding. Then
the old gentleman, VINO was then
not so old as he is now, one day
called an acquaintance and brought
out the Confederate gray for inspee-
ton.
The interrib spaces of the skeleton
had filed out till they were no longer
to be seen, and the switch tail had
heightened to quite respectable pro-
portions, while about the whole
frame there was general spring
mess that might be laid to good
currying and United States oats.
Driving leisurely to the edge Of
the town, where there was good
level stretch of dirt road in view,
the driver laid the whip knowingly
across the lines he had wound around
his hand and let the strange horse
GO. And he went. Road and fences
turned to a blur, and the icy wind
whistled through the furs. After a
good mile the driver pulled up
gently, sprung out and ran his hands
over the silvery sides that were
scarcely heaving, and patted the
velyety nostrils, saying with
chuekle; ~ thought | wasn't mis-
taken" And then they went home.
Time passed and the fame Of the
gray trotter spread till finally his
owner parted with him somewhat re-
gretfuliy for $500. This was the
Aver afterward known upon the turf
as Gray Eagle.

himself, when suddenly everything
grew black. He could not see objects
half foot distant His vision had
completely failed him.
Cropping about the deck he tried to
communicate his atfiiction to the other
deck hands When his true condition
was discovered he was tenderIy taken
care of, and when the canal boat reach
eel this city he was conveyed to his
homo in kensington, and there attend
ed to. Still he grew no better. 1t
was then decided that the best place
for him was 4 hospital.
His nephew accompanied him to

ing there he was examined and placed

"that reminds me Of the story of

went into horribly cheap restaurant
and sat down at table to order a
meal, when up rushed links in a

was sent there to investigate and re
port on the rumors of ghost dancing
among the Indians. The Arapahoe,
Cheyenne and Usage Indians still
cling to the belief that the Messiah
will some day appear to save them, :
said Capt. Higgins, -"and they are
not at all disappointed in the failure
of the Messiah TO come among them
last year. They do not pretend to
know the date of His coming. The
former frenzy among them and their
excited dances have given way to a
quiet belief. which has almost become
religion with them, that the whites
are to be destroyed and the Messiah
will come. There is no excitement
among the whites who live on the land
bordering on the reservations and no
excitement is at all apparent because
no outbreak is feared" Capt Hug

DISCOURAGING THE USE OF
TOBACCO.

Professor Smith, formerly OF
Bowdoin college, did not like TO
have the students chew tobacco dur
ing recitations and took effectual
means to break up the practice. A
boy who was called upon to recite
one day, not expecting to be pulled
as the saying goes, on the next day
in succession, would go into the class
and chew tobacco during the hour.
Wheneyer."Cosine" noted this he
was morally certain to ask that stud
ent few questions, and by keeping
him up fifteen minutes or SO would
manage to put him in position
where he would either have to swal-
low copious amount of tobacco OF
else choke. Such vigorous treat
ment had a beneficial effect.

ONE ON JUDGE BRADY.

Many think that Recorder Smyth
is as severe off the bench as he is
when he has hardened criminal to
sentence. The Recorder is really
genial, and tells story well. Here
is one he relates about the late Judge
Brady: One summer the Judge had a
great deal of business to attend to,
and decided to come back to his city
residence for a few days. He reach
ed New York early in the morning
and went to his house, sending his
trunk up by an eXpresSman. When
he reached his house he found it
closed up, and, thinking that the ser
wants were still in bed, decided to sit
on the stoop until they gotuP. While
waiting the expressman drove up with
the trunk. He took it out of the
wagon and carried it up The stoop.
There was no response to his ring
at the bell. "Im Judge Brady
said the Judge. "You can leave the
trunk with me. I'll take care of it.
The servants are not up yet" ooh,
no." replied the expressman, give
met you people before" lie put the
trunk in the wagon and drove off,
leaving the Judge meditating.
