But She Didn't Get the Boots.

many days ago, in one of the sample
shoe stores. Finding pair which par
ticularly pleased me, the clerk laced up
one, and looked for the other to do like

vain search was about to give it up ana
select another pair which did not please
me half as well, when saw the edge Of

Of the salesman to the fact, he extracted
the boot from under her dress.

I did, and if she did not get them, it was
not because she did not possess unbound

waiting For the Minister.

A good story is told of Mr.. Labou.
ehere during his career in the diplomatic
service and while he was an attache at
Washington. An "aggressively irai
visitor called at the legation and de-
manded to see the British minister. Mr.
Labouchere informed him that he could
not, because Ibis excellency was not in. ="
WELL" said the visitor, evidently sus-
pecting subterfuge,'I must see him, and
will wait till he comes. Very good. >
said Mr.. Labouchere. pray take a
chair" and he resumed his writing. At
the end of an hour the visitor. ''still fret
ting and Tuning" asked when the min,
lister would be back. II really cannot
say exactly" the attache answered: But
you expect him backy' the visitor insist
ed. "Oh, certainly" said Mr. Labou
chere and went on writing.
At the end of another hour the irate
visitor, bouncing up, insisted on know
ing what were the habits of the minister
at that period of the day. Was he likely
to be in in another hour? II think not. :"
said Mr.. Labouchere, with increased
blandness; 1.-The fact is he sailed for Eu-
rope on Wednesday and can hardly yet
have reached Queenstown. But, you
know, you said you would wait till he
came in, so l offered you chair. obi

SHE WORE THE SHOES TO BED.
A New England Girls Unique Way Of
Stretching Tight FoOtgear.

stretching right FOOtgear.
When Mr.. Simpson returned from Bos-
ton, he brought beautiful pair of shoes
laced shoes, with neat heels and pretty
toes--for his daughther Ethel, and a
unanimous sigh of disappointment swept
over the Simpson family when it ap-
peared that these shoes were too small.
No one was more sincerely grieved about
it than Ethels youngest sister, Evelyn,
who liked pretty shoes as much as Ethel
did, and who had been wearing pair that
could not have been described as any
thing but "serviceable. though plain"
Evelyn was filed with conflicting
emotions when her father said: Perhaps
you can wear No. 3, my dear. If so.
you may have these"
Evelyn knew that though her sister
was SIX years older than herself, yet they
wore the same sized shoe-No. 4; but
she did not say 30. She set her pretty
shoe beside her own stout, roomy one.
The prospect was discouraging.
A little later Ethel came in.
why" she exclaimed in surprise,
''you can almost get it on? Try it some
time when your foot is not warm and
swollen as it is now, though / suppose
papa would never let you wear them II
they went on at all hard"
The shoes stood on Evelyn's dressing
case all day and suggested to her what
must have been the feelings of Cinder-
elias sisters when they tried to cut down
their feet to fit the magic slipper. That
evening when she was going to bed she
tried them again, and they actually went
on. They squeezed the poor little feet
as if in wise. but there they were, on.
About midnight Ethel Simpson was
awakened by soft knock on her door.
and sitting in the hall outside she dis
covered her little sister Evelyn.
"Oh, Ethel-don't make q noise-my
feetr' she gasped.
why. you have your shoes and stock
you poor childr' and in moment the
elder sister was bending over the suf-
ferer, who had tainted away with smell
ing salts and pair of scissors.
"You see." sobbed Evelyn, reviving
and watching the cutting of the shoe
lacing with interest, II thought IL wore
them to bed they would be on in tie

and he would let me keep them. went

It was my feet and those awful shoes.
II expect every one will laugh at me-
Why, Ethel you are cryingl Don't. My
feet don't hurt me any more, and papa
will say when you tell him about it. 1T
will be lesson to her."
II was lesson to her. She never
wore tight shoes again, but if her father
thought so he did not say it when Ethel
told the story, and no one of the family
laughed or said word about it. A dsJ
Or two later a package came from Bos-
ton for Evelyn, which contained a beau
tiful pair of shoes. laced, with neat heels

United States Supreme Court on the CO.
employee Damage Question.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 1.-The
question of the liability of Il railroad
corporation to an employee for damages
received while in the service of the
company is one to be settled, not by
the local law in the state wherein the
cause of action arose, but by the gen
eral law upon the subject, was the sub
stance of decision by the SUI
preme court OF the United States
to-day, the opinion being read by
Justice Brewer The circumstances
were: John Baugh, a fireman in the
employ of the Baltimore x Ohio Com
panv at Bellairc, O., was injured in Il
collision. Baugh claimed that his injury
was due to the negligence of the engi-
necr and brought suit. The United
States circuit court gave plaintiff 4 judg-
meut in the sum of IS, 200. The result
was in accordance with the rule laid
down by the sNpremc court of the state
of Ohio where negligence of an
employee of the company in author
itv over Il fellow employee is al
legged The railroad company appealed.
Justice Brewer SAYS in substance: The
injury 80 Baugh wa, simply one of the
risks assumed by him when entering the
company'S service. The peril was

The Big Muddy on the Warpath = Much
Damage Done.

ST. Louis, Mo-, May Another foot
of rise in the river and more flooded
villages on the east side, collapsed
warehouse which resulted III one death
| and a prospect for repetition of the
scenes of a few days ago. All these
tell the story of the high water
here tonight The river at O'Clock
this evening showed q rise of a
fraction of an inch over foot
since 6 o'clock last night, and the water
is still creeping up on the gauge. There
is every probability that by tomorrow
night the danger mark, thirty-two feet,
will be reached. There are two causes,
however, Of the higher water which
greatly lessen the danger of breaking
entertainments. Most of the high water
now in the river is due to local rains be-
tweed here and Alton. A dam at Herr
mann keeps back much of the Missouri
River water, which would otherwise
make a still higher rise. The raging tor
rent of the Ohio at Cairo also tends to
keep the water this side of the Ohio's
mouth back, and while this, Of course,
will prolong the period of high water,
yet it prevents the swift currents which
are SO disastrous to embellishments and
levecs.
Up too O'Clock this evening the water
had caused the abandonment of East
Carondelct. The telegraph Office of
the st. Louis connecting railway was
wrecked this morning and several
small buildings were washed away
The body of a man was washed ashore
this afternoon near the site Of the
wrecked telegraph office The body
has not been Identified. Many persons
who have been living in the second sto-
ries Of their homes have been forced
to move out altogether to-day and
several had narrow escapes, as their
residences collapsed or tloated away
Another foot of water will cause the
abandonment of the round-house at the
crossing OF the connecting road and the
Mobile q Ohio. In East st. Louis the
water in Cahokia Creek is within three
feet of last years flood level. At Belle
vile Richland Creek has overlooked it's
banks and filled many easements. Sew
eral manufactures have been forced to
smut down, boiler rooms being mum
dated.
South of the city proper, between
Arsenal Street and Carondelct, the low
lands are flooded and the squatters
have been forced to vacate their
shantics and ground flats. All or nearly
all their possessions have been Washed
away. Trainmen coming in from the
east tonight say the water practically
covers all Of Brooklyn, and that
numbers of people are moving out
OF their houses. The East st.
Louis dock warehouse, Immediately
south of Eads bridge, gave way before
the rush Of water about noon and fully
onc-fourth Of the vast building, with
the heavy contents, fell into a heap,
the roofs sinking and settling upon the

sacks OF grain boxes Of canned goods
and a miscellaneous lot OF other goods
were prccipitatcd through the ground
floor and INTO the water. One iaborcr
