Mrs. John Is Surprised to Discover That
1t Is Not All of the Time.
81 had an experience today" said Mrs.
John as she broke off bit of her soup
bread last night and began daintily to
sip her cream of asparagus.
."You have so many" replied, ''that
II should be no novelty, and they are all
interesting" finished invitingly, though

without this little sop.
Mrs. John merely arched her eyebrows.
sit was a small one," she went on,
.but it is one of so many similar that it
set me to thinking afterward during my
ride up town."
Iwaited.
81 was in a shop near crowded coun-
ter to which vainly tried to get access,
when / saw woman complete her pur-
chase, pay her money and stand waiting
for the change. Thought this an oppor-
tunity, and spoke to her: May / have
your place, please, if you are through
Not until am through she replied
coldly, without even turning her head,
and she stood there nearly five minutes
longer before parcels and coins were
handed to her."
81 think, replied, "she was a tele-
phone girl"
.'She was a very disobliging woman,
certainly" said Mrs. John, "and at the
elevated station met another.
I was carving the joint, SO I only
scowled.
81 stood waiting my turn in the line
with two men before me-" continued
Mrs. John, 'when this woman walked
up and along the line and calmly thrust
herself before us ALL"
"Well, isn't that what you call wom-
ans progress?' couldn't help inquiring.
"It was one woman's progress" re-
torted Mrs. John, "and everybody hated
her for it."
Then she dropped her vehemence and
became discoursive.
at was this double experience which,
as said, set me to thinking. began to
wonder when we are ladies' If at all.
1--WE are not certainly when we do
either of these selfish and unjust things,
nor pushing and scrambling around o
bargain counter, nor spreading our skirts
over two seats in a filing street car. We
are not when in church or elsewhere we
are overcome with the consciousness Of
being better dressed than our neighbors,
nor when we are devouring bit of gos-
sip, repeating and enlarging upon 1t; nor
indeed, when we are scolding the chill
dren, quarreling with servants or re
garding, if we are boarders, our land
lady as q neutral enemy"
Nor when," helped Mrs. John, ga

Then she caught my eye, and we boil
laughed.

The An tho Year Round Batbing club.


The All the Year Round Bathing clul
of London was up to few years age
quite prominent institution in the eyes
of sanitary scientists, though of late
years it seems to have relapsed into q
condition of innocuous desuetude. It's
members simply pledged themselves to
battle in the Serpentine river every morn
ing in the year. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that none but the strongest con-
situations are able to comply with the
rules, but sturdy body of men of vary
ing ages for several years carried out the
obligations to the letter, and when it
was necessary they would cheerfully
break the ice before entering the river

the bathers, and quite number of pa
pers appeared in the medical journals
setting forth the good and bad effects of
bathing every morning before a. m. in

A Discussion over white Cats.

EYES," said the man by the window,
who overheard our conversation, ''it's
true every time, gentlemen, that white
cats are deaf"
"Prove it," said one Of the party who
had been disputing the theory.
II can prove it as easy as rolling off q
log. My old aunt down in the state of
Maine raised white cat, and she's alive
and kicking yet, fur's I know-the cat,
not my aunt-and she told me-my aunt,
not the cat-that the animal was SO deaf
she could not hear the clock strike
fact"
That's nothing said man on the
other side Of the car who had been listen
ing intently. sit don't prove that the
hull race Of white cats is def. Why, we
had q white cat in our family raised it
myself and it heard SO well we had to
stop the clock"
There was long silence; then some
one piped feebly:
"WhyT
Because she thought every tick was a
mouse in the wall, and she tore all the
wail paper of trying to get at It,"
No ono said q word for about an hour;
then the man who knew white cats were
deaf spoke out:

al horse show has become an important and
permanent social function in the metropo-
lis. 1t grows in popular favor each year,
and the prospect is that the coming exhibit
ton will surpass all previous ones in inter
est and in point Of attendance.
Already beautiful blue blood horses are
moving upon Manhattan Island from the
four points of the compass; already beau
tiful blue blooded society bellies Of old
Dutch ancestry are beginning to look
horsy and talk volubly about conforma-
tion, markings, standard bred roadsters,
registered hackneys, cobs in harness and
other technical subjects that are Greek or
dinarily to the feminine mind. Grooms
are putting the finishing touches on the
Beasts toilet, Beauty has ordered hers
from the modiste, and all dudedom critic
ally adjusts its monocle whenever a horse
of quality trots past a Fifth avenue club.
The dog had his day early in the year, but
King Equus is monarch of Manhattan
now.
Whatever society makes a fad, society is
willing to support literally, and while the
horses prancc all swelldom rushes to pay
the fiddler. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the National Horse Show Association
of America Cimited), which is the fiddler
in this instance, makes mint of money
each year. The scenes Mt the annual sale
of boxes when the swells bid princely sums
in desperate, reckless endeavor to get the
best in the garden have never been
eQualed in other lines of amusement The
fact is that box for horse show week is
the thing just now, and when n thing is
the thing money is no object with the
Four Hundred.
At last years sale the elite of the met ropo-
lis paid the enormous premium of $50, 900
on the boxes alone, and seemed to rather
enjoy doing 50, moreover. This was so, 600
in excess of the sum received the previous
year, and plainly demonstrated the growth
OF the show in popular favor. Every seat
in the house was sold the first evening and
when the opening night came the scene was
| one of unrivaled splendor. All the leaders
in the social world, every belle in the One
Hundred and Fifty and every "chappie" in
the less exclusive Four Hundred were in
attendance. The horses were there, too of
| course, but they Were somewhat dwarfed in
comparison with the social lions. Be this
rs it may, however, the horses won about
| $4,000 in prizes for their owners during the
week, and the net receipts of the garden
and the association were Conscrvatively es-
timated mt about Sl50,OON In 1891 the
profits were $40, 900, of which the garden
management took half, much to the dis
/ gust of many members Of the association.
The prize money has been cut down this
| year, but it still reaches the substantial
| figure of 10000, an increase of $4,000 over
the offer of 1891, and n decrease of 8, 900 as
| compared with the sum divided among the
| horses last year

that the husband had forgotten Bulwer

j. p. Jones, who lives near Perhama,
Crook county, had a rather startling ad-
venture with cougar. He was speak
ing of his experience to some friends and
said:
Il mounted II horse ana went on
hunting expedition To- a place about 20
miles from Perhama. taking with me an
Irish staghouud and an English pointer.
/ brought down a deer and brown
bear, which l left at Il farmhouse. and
bagged number of wild pigeons and
other fowl. While returning home
about 10 o'clock at night along lonely
road about five miles from Perhama, i
noticed what seemed TO h, two balls of
fire in n tree but yard ahead of me,
and which stood but foot or two from
the road. At the same instant my horse,
which is what is known i'll the COW
counties as an original herder.' drew

about two inches from me 1t rolled in
the road, but recovered and sprang again,
this time at the horses throat. The
horse bucked and threw me 10 the
ground, half stunning me. The cougar
then rushed upon me. but the stag
hound, which had been standing by. bay
ing turiously, cOrralled it. There was a
brief but terrific fight, and the dog lay
dead not five feet from ne. The pointer
had disappeared. while the horse stood
trembling III every limb. The panther
again sprang at him. landing upon his
back, and away the horse went.

unstrapped my rife and started in pur-
suit. Five hundred yards from the scene
of the encounter found the horse stand
ing still and the cougar lying dead al
his feet. The horse bore marks of the
cougars claws upon his back. and his
flesh WAS torn in several places. The
cougar head was smashed, presumal ly
by the horses heels. cannot account
for the result of the strange encounter
except by the theory that Il limb Of a
large oak tree. hanging low and directly
over the road. struck the cougar and
swept it of the horses back. and the
horse took advantage Of the opportunity
to trample him TO death. The horse is

The best known breeders and owners OF
horses have entered their favorites, and
when the show opens the stables under the
big garden will probably contain the finest
aggregation of aristocratic horses ever con-
centrated Mt one point. At least 900 equine
beauties will be quartered in and near the
garden. This is 500 less than the number
of entries last year. but quality, not guam
tity, is what the management has been
striving for for years, and every horse of
the 900 exhibited this year will be well
worth the attention of the judges.
The hackney, being very English, will be
in as high favor this year as last, and such
well known breeders as John \. Logan, Jr.,
A. J. Cassett, T. c. Eastman, Prescott
Lawrence, w. Seward Webb, Edward +.

The national horse show was the first
one held in America, but there is now an
annual open air exhibition given at New
York by the United States Horse and Cat

Philadelphia have shows each year. The
amusement has become so popular, how
