rhe people VINO Enioy Fun.

People SO fond of hulnor that the ri
diculous is Of more Importance to them
than their welfare will be highly gratifed
by the proposition of the railroad lines
east and west to run excursions to the
Worlds fair at one fare for the round
trip. The joke is as rich in quality as it
is large in quantity. Thirty hours is the
length of time mentioned as making the
trip from New York to Chicago. No
stop over checks will be allowed. No
sleeping cars will be provided, no parlor
cars, no chair cars. The jolly excursion
list. it is supposed, will sit bolt upright
in the redolent atmosphere which hangs
about the day coach as the result Of
long contact with tobacco, cold lunches,
decayed fruit and perspiration. and for
80 hours, with no opportunity to stop off
for sickness. will watch the changing
landscape with open and bloodshot eyes.
When he arrives at the Worlds fair, he
will be permitted to stay one week If he
is alive.
No provision is made for extending the
time to persons for whom the joys of the
excursion have been too poignant and
who may be required to spend two or
three weeks in the hospitals recovering
from the delirium Of insomnia or the ty-
phoid fever which they have picked up
in the holiday coach. Chicago Herald.

Effect of Paris Life on American Students.
An American artist of considerable
reputation, while speaking the other day
with reference to the easy going Bohe-
milan habits so common among men in his
profession, said: ut is not pleasant
thing to say, but believe it is true that
period of two or three years of student
life in Paris practically ruins about as
many young artists as it benefits. Stu
dent life in Europe, and especially in
Paris, is full of allurements and tempta-
tons which only those capable of great
self control are able to resist. 1t is in its
social aspects delightfully."- free and easy
sort of life, which appeals almost ire
sistibly to the average young man. 1t
develops the habit of Incidence with
frightful rapidity, and from Incidence it
is but short step to indifference, dissi-
patton and reckless self neglect. Con-
vivial associations and the gay company
of colony made of kindred spirits as
bright and magnetic as himself too often
put his ambitions to sleep, and he drifts
on and on until he becomes spendthrift
and lounger, if nothing worse. At the
end Of two or three years he returns to
America, his money spent, his health
frequently shattered and himself so thor
oughly bohemianized that he finds it diff
ficult if not impossible ever to regain
anything of the orderly, methodical habit
Of industry upon which his professional
success depends. New York Herald.

close on rne tempting fnorsel when VIII
da stopped down, and catching the dogs
forepaws by sudden effort drew him
into the boat, the saurian's jaws closing
with snap that indicated great disap-
pointment The dog covered down in
the bottom Of the boat, while the girls
attended to the other gators, who seemed
to manifest an inclination to get into the
canoe. Several shots were fired at the
reptiles, but their taste of blood had
made them fearless.
A scream from Josie aroused Vida,
who was striving to pole the boat ashore.
Turning around she saw her sister half
drawn out of the canoe, big monster
gator having seized her dress. Josie
was beating the gator over the nose
with her rifle with one hand, while with
the other she endeavored to hold herself
in the boat. Without moments hesi-
tation Vida raised the long pole she
was using, and posing 1t a moment
threw it at the gators head. By rare
good fortune it struck him in the eye
and penetrated to the brain. With q
loud below the reptile sank.
For the next few minutes the brave
girls had all they could do-one firing at
the saurians as they approached too
closely, while the other, using the breech
of her gun as paddle, urged the canoe
to shore. AS it touched the sand both
leaped out and ran up the bank. None
toosoon either, for big, pursuing gator,
in its desperation at losing its prey,
threw itself forward, crushing in the
sides of the boat. The girls concluded
that they had had enough hunting for
that day and returned home by another
ute.-Million.

rr. Labouehere,s Fish story.

If Mr.. Henry Labouchere has habit
of getting into trouble, he has also hap
py knack of getting out Of it. For in
stance, the other day, after he had print
ed an important piece of news about the
proper way to cook crawfish and hui
name reader of Truth expostulated with
him about his advice to the cook to cut
the live fish in halves, he retorted mer-
rily by expressing the opinion that it is
ridiculous sentiment to treat creatures
of low or rudimentary organizations as
if they had the same susceptibility to
pain as human being, and settled the
question finally by telling an anecdote
about an angling friend of his who once
"caught perch foul"
The hook pierced the fsh's eye. My friend
felt that he had not caught the perch accord
ing to the rules of the game, SO, to compensate
him for losing his eye, he put him back into the
water. He then baited his hook with the eye
and went to work again. Within three min
utes he caught that same perch again with his
own eye.
This is capital fish story. We have
not heard better tale in long while.
1t is a lie of course, but all fish stories
are, and it has the merits of originality
and humor We like Mr.. Labouchere
the better for such harmless fibs. New
York Times.
