THE WOMAN WHO WAITED.
Pathetic Story of Her Life--The CameTs-
Hair shawl.

Pathetic Story of Her Life-The CaneIs-
Hair shawl.
Years ago she bought that camel's-
hair shawl Oh, wasn't it beauty
and didn't it become her fresh, young
beauty! 1t was in that dav the costli-
est of wraps and was ciassed by women
as on par with sables and diamonds.
No one knows how many seasons
that woman wore her camers -hair
shawl. Toward the end she used to
call it my old rag" saying, with a sad
smile, that it was all she could afford.
for times were hard and money was
scarce, and there were many mouths
to feed.
She saw her children grow out of IN
fancy; she saw them struggle to man.
hood and womanhoo6; she saw the
boys-seyen of them-all safely staFsed
in useful and honorable careers; she
saw the girls-three-au married to the
men of their hearts; she kissed and
fondled children and grandchildren,
while her own hair was grayang fast.
The day her old band was
buried under the hemlocks she wore
her caners-hair shawl; the day the
boys married, year by year, one after
another, she was at church with the
cameps-hair shawl; the day she chris
tened her grandchildren, year by year,
and one after another, the poor old soul
wore her camels-hair shawl
cit will be stylish some day" she
used to say, in her accomplishing way.
"You know all things move in great
circles and fashions DEGREES are no ex-
ception to the rule"
And then she would carefully brush
the shawl and lay it away in an old
bureau, waiting the next time she
would wear the garment
Every body knew her by the shawl;
the priest, the small boys, the grocer,
the baker, the doctor-every body in
town.
There comes the woman with the
camePs-hair shawl" one needless girl
would say to another, as the old
woman trotted by. But the good old
soul gave no heed and went on her
way. song rising in her heart.
One day she died. Her things were
sold, and if l mistake not THAI was her
shawl you saw the other day in the
pawn-shop as you took your evening

Girl Coppered" His Little Gsme.
Along the great boulevards Of Paris
It is impossible for one to avoid seeing
the most disreputable class of men in
the whole world. These h2unterS Of
the bouievards carry under a decent
and often high-bred exterior the most
dcpraved of minds and the most de-
b3uched of consciences. Their main
object IN life seems to be the making Of
the acquaintance Of young women, the
more innocent and the more modest
looking the better. AS the French Gus
toms are very strict the French girl is
always carefully protected against these
narauders.

used to New York and Chicago and
Philadelphia and the other cities. of
America, where this class of men is
either unknown or small and timid,

to give American women q wide berth,
and probably never will learn. But
sometimes they have some pretty hui

One day last summer young and
very handsome American woman WIS

She was getting on very leisurely,
stopping at a shop window now

Cafe de la PAX, the great loafing place
Of the gentlemen described above,
crossed over and joined her. He said
something in French about her beauty
and the great delight he would have in
helping her shop. She looked OF tbs
boots as though no one were beside her
and as though no cne had spoken to
her. Presently she strolled on with the
Frenchm&n still eUclaiming in her ear.

She opened har purse, took out two
coppers and laid them in his hand,
which he had half extended the moment
before IN a gesture Of delight.
Now, go away" she said IN English,
"snd don'tbothsr ne any more"
She turned and walked on as care

The Hawaiian situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Odicials at
the navy department say they have
no news from Honolulu by the
steamer that arrived at San Fran
cisco. Gresham asserts that he has
nothing to say on the question. He
declines to either affirm or deny the
reports offered him for corroboration
or denial.
The officials in both departments
in fact manifest lively interest in
all that can be told them by news
paper men. Soon after the report re-
ceived from Honolulu reached the de-
partments Gresham hurried over to
the navy department and had a
brief interview with Herbert, which
may have been only an inquiry as to
whether his department had any
news to communicate.
Some expressions by Hawaiian
Minister Thurston, published this
morning, are said to have given Of
fense to the administration and there
are rumors that the Hawaiian repre-
sentatives here will have their exc
quateurs demanded. Whether the
representatives gave offense or not
their position is an anomalous one,
representing as they do govern
ment which the United States is will
ing to see deposed. The severance of
relations between this government
and the legation would not be sur
prising.

silver mines is about $50, 900, 900 the larger
per cent of this is used in the arts" and that
suppose the entire amount were coined 1t
would add but 10000, 900 to our monetary
supply" 1t occurs to us that if the larger per
cent of the output is used in the arts only
little more than $40 OOO, 900 would be in the
market to be purchased by the Government.
We find it n little difficult to reconcile that
statement with the fact that Government has
been purchasing 4,5O0, 900 ounces of silver per
month for the last three years, and that the
lowest price it has paid has been 20 cents an
ounce, and that only within the last month.
It. seems to us, Governor. that if you would
lool; over this matter with little care You
would see that your mathematical figures are
a triic at odds with your figures Of speech.
IL seems ungracous to thrust into the flow OF
such clOquence as yours any disturbing facts
or figures. When people are feeling good at
a picnic, and are enjoying eloqucDcc and beer

interrupt the general g,Ish And on the whole,
when YOU come 10 the sort of eloquence that
warns up picnic perhaps the fewer facts the
better. Still, Governor, it might be well be-
fore You get off the picnic reservation to fortify
yourself with a fact or two and perhaps an
occasional figure ether than Of speech.
