MEMBERS VALENTINES.
MI. KelIy's Cigarette Bill Is
Spreading His Fame.


Many members of the house were re-
membered with valentines yesterday.
but Hon. P. II. Kelly was especially
fortunate. His anti-cigarette bill has
won him multitudes of friends, and
they are showering him with letters as
well as valentines. An especially nota-
BILE thing in the way of valentine,
bearing the name of A. H. Bertram, was
in the shape of proposed monument to
the author of the bill.
Another represented convention of
bootblacks. with perpleXed faces, delib-
Grating on the possible effects of the
bill. The Second ward representative
takes the whole thing in his usual phil
osophic, good-natured way. and only
hopes the senate Judiciary committee
will not electrocute his bill without
summoning witnesses. Some of the
letters he received yesterday were from
OHIO, asking for copies Of the bill.

Freaks of Memory.

A smart young cavalry officer was re-
Gently exercising his regiment upon
the drill ground when the familiar
words of commands suddenly slipped
from his mind, and the strenuous effort
made to recall them was utterly futile.
IN order to cover his embarrassment he
was compelled to retire from command,
under the plea of illness. The fugitive
sentence came to him when he reached
his rooms A still more singular case
is that of well-known and esteemed
merchant, whose memory SO treacher-
ously failed him one morning after
leaving home that he was totally un-
able to locate his Offices, and was act
ually compelled to inquire as to their
whereabouts. Another interesting ex-
ample is that of a popular novelist who
had nearly finished an important work
upon which he was engaged when
sudden failure of memory deprived him
of his plot and necessitated the laying
aside of the book for more than week;
then an association of ideas recalled
the missing plot, the novel was brought
to successful issue and enjoyed wide

THAT sIoping roof of shingles, with its messy
coat of gray,
which formed the playground for our fun on

II was built just by the orchard. and the caves
dropped down so low
THAT they almost touched the grass-tops, where
the daisy blossoms blow;
And an apple tree was growing where you came
down with whirl.

WAS the ecstasy of sitting on that barn roof for
a ride!
After crawling slowly upward to the sharply

To hold on-by the edges-while you play at hide

And then-with fun and frolic-ss you loosed
your wary clasp
To feel the siding-glidng- to give a hap

increasing melton bound,
For rapid roll through clover, on the softly

Not What He Exnectad.

He was calling on young lady and
had been talking against time for sew
eral hours, not noticing that she was,
to say the least, slightly wearied.
''Do you know" he said, after COM
pleting a monologue of several thou
sand words and thinking little fat
tery~ould be appreciated, ''while talk
ing tonight have felt as if were in
spired by one of the muses.. And which
one do you think it is?'
He looked searchingly into her beau
tiful face. The modest blush for which
he was watching proved to be wide
yawn. which grew wider as she an
swered:
"f guess the muse that inspires you
tonight must be Euterpa."
He really didn't know anything about
mythology, SO he couldn't tell just what
she meant But when he got home he
took down his Webster's Unabridged
and there in cold type, staring him in
the face, he saw:
"Euterpa-the muse who presided
over wind instruments. ''-Waverley

Deem her not bold, gentle reader. The
summer, she felt, was over; soon the
cold winds would put a stop to

her pa was dealing at the same grocery

How a PHILADELPHIA Man Falls.

One of the best of recent stories at
the expense of the average inhabitant
of the Quaker city is told by Lew Dock
stader.
81 was walking through Twenty
third street the other afternoon" he
says, "when a man toppled from the
roof of six-story building and came
whirling down through the air, strik-
ing the sidewalk just in front of me-
To my amazement he got up and began
to brush off his clothing with the ut
most unconcern.
THAT was pretty bad fall you
had,' said l. Aren't you hurt?'
Mop, said the man.
Il can't understand it, said I. a
fall like that would have killed any
body else

A Narrow Escape.

He had gone to the dentist to have
an erratic tooth pulled, and his wife
went with him. When he had kicked
and screamed to his entire satisfaction
he took laughing gas and began to
talk. After he came to, he asked his
wife anxiously what he had said.
80, you fancied you were a boy at
home again, and raved about raking in
the chips"
He looked dazed, but managed to ask
feebly: Anything else?''
"Yes. You imagined we were going
to be separated and kept saying: Let
us hy together, darling, where they can
not find u.s. Do you feel better now?"

Warning to Gum Chewers.

It is said that the human mouth is
surely but steadily moving toward the
left of the face, owing to the tendency
to chew with the teeth on the right side
1t is to be hoped that in some way gum
chewing may be suppressed, for if it
increases there is danger that race
may be developed whose mouths will
be located in the back of the head. 70
remedy this defect, some centuries of
vigorous chewing would be required
to bring the mouth back to its proper
position.-Boston Courier.

WHERE DRESSES DO NOT FIT.
Weak Points of the Average Blouses and
Eton Jackets.

ECOn OACk6bS.
The point where the average bodice
is not what it should be is just below
the collar at the back of the neck.
There are various other weak spots, as,
for example, where the sleeve is sewn
into the curve at the shoulder, but it is
in stitching on the collar that the un-
skillful dressmaker does her worst.
Even when she has fitted the shoulders
of her client with tolerable accuracy
she is sure to spoil her work by gather
ing the edge trifie as she bastes on
the collar or by leaving behind super
iuity of material which it is her duty
to trim away. OF forty everyday
women in an everyday cable car often
not one rejoices in a good fit just below
the nape of her neck. There are bub-
bles of silk or woolen which should
lie in smooth perfection. There are
collars curving out, collars too big, and
collars too small, and there is, take II
all in all, enough dress goods wasted
in the combined misfts to make an en-
tire new costume for one of the mis-
fitted victims.
The present shape of the ubiquitous
Eton Jacket has boundless opportuni-
ties for fitting badly, and improves up
on them all. 1t lunches up its shape
less, seamless back in a way that would
make the best example of physical
culture look round shouldered, and its
loose fronts, unconfned by the tiny
little belt, which unfortunately has
gone out of fashion, flaps in the breeze
like handkerchiefs upon a clothesline.
Clever girls who have invested in that
kind of Eton jacket are now remodel
ing them into the trig little sort with
folded belt of black satin about tbs
edge, which may be fastened and trim
as belts should be-Chicago Tribune.
