The other morning gentleman sat
in an elevated ear reading his news
paper as he went downyto Business. A
pretty brown-eyed stenegrapher sat
next to him. The car was as crowded
as usual The young lady had a hand
some umbrella which supported It's own
dignity against the seat. For a little
while-then the gentleman with the
paper blindly reached over and placed
the umbrella between his knees, The
brown-eycd stcnographer regarded this
movement with astonishmeut,- not to
say dismay. Several others were very
much amused, says the New York
Herald.
The impulse of the BROWN eyed to
fall upon the newspaper reader at once
and wrest her property from his
felonious grasp gave way to the pre-.
vailing sense Of the ludicrous. She
noted that he was reading an editorial
on the speakership. 1t was absent
mindedness. But she had lost her last
umbrella from the absent mindedness
of the man who had taken 1t from the
hall rack. There is altogetheT too
much method in this absent minded
business, she thought. 1t Q especially
overworked with regard to umbrellas.
1t always operates in favor Of good
umbrellas, too, and here was a new
silk. When this man had finished the
article on the speakership he threw his
left leg over his right knee and care
fully imprisoned her umbrella. At the
same time he discovered her attention.
She regard him ixedly with ner brown
eyes and said:
81 beg pardon, sir; you have my UNI
brella."
The man started as if struck with a
club. And it was rather a broad hint.
lie looked, he saw he blushed, he
stammered, he handed it over to Its
fair owner. He was SO overcome with
the sense Of his ridiculous position
that he got out at tho next station. The
pretty brown-eyed stenographer smiled
all the way to Cortland street, but she
never again relaxed hold on her um.

see how it was possible to take them up
without recognizing their leader, Mr..
Sullivan, and there were some insuper-
able objections to his eccentricities Of

was invited into society he had an argu-

in the jaw with his right, then kicking

A singular scene, resulting in the de,
struction by a crowd Of 1000 people of a
marquee and the Iooting of provisions,
took place at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire,
on Thursday evening. a grand fete had
been arranged 10y Lord de Ramsey to
celebrate the return of the Hon. Ailwyn
Fellowes, Nj. p, for North Hunts.
About 1000 persons had been invited, in
relays Of 1000 at a time, to a tea, which
was arranged in a marquee in the
grounds.
A shower of rain made the crowd
rush for shelter TO the marquee, which
was already full. A scene of indie,
scribable confusion ensued. The crowd
made an attack upon the provisions,
walters We're knocked down and a clean
sweep made of the tables, much of the
crockery being destroyed The caterer

Hard to Satisfy.

Some persons are hard to satisfy. The
thing in hand ia of little worth, but the
object beyond reach seems all desirable.
A clergyman in Maine, who lives near
the ~seacoast. narrates an occurrence
which gave him a moment o. d~isappoint-
ment, but which has also supplied him
with a very good story to tell.
He had planned a beautiful drive for
the benefit of a lady from the west who
was visiting his family-a lady who had
never seen the ocean. The route was
chosen in such a way that not a glimpse
of the sea would be had until. at a GER
tain bend in the road. the party would
come out upon a high open space, com
manding magnificent view OF the broad
Atlantic.
As the carriage came out upon the
plateau the clergyman turned a beaming
face on the lady, expecting from her an
exclamation of delight; but instead of
happiness on her countenance, he saw a
look of longing.
.'Oh," she said, with a sigh, show |

A refuse cart was close to the curb on
Thirty-scventh street, between Madison
and Fifth aven, les, recently, while the
driver, a healthy young lrishman, talked
to a woman who had on each sidea little
chap dressed in sailor costume. Most
passersby must have taken her for a

two minutes talk the woman lifted the
lads one by one to the side of the rough

of stout paper over his cargo to protect
the clothing of the children.
Ono lad, tucked close under the driv
er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins.

The question, What is to become of
all this buntingy" has been asked re-
peatedly the past few weeks by persons
who appreciate the fact that never be-
fore has there been such Il profusion of
decorative display in this great met;opo-
lis. A professional decorator answered
it thus: WAL. yer see that this ere is
only the beginnin of these Columbus
celebrations, and there1l be plenty of
demand fer these flags and things in the
next six months. Most all of this stuff
which is not private property is already
engaged. aud it will be shipped to differ
ent parts of the country. If you will go
over on the east side, where most of the
people did their own decoratin, you will
find men goin about buying up the bun
tin and the shields as cheap as they can.
It'll come in handy in decoratin build
ms in other cities and towns near here.
