An Old Truth Proved Once More.

A pneumatic tired safety bicycle that
rested against the curb in Eighth avenue
opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri
day night had crowd about it for an
hour. 1t bore huge placard with the
inscription, For Sale, Price &l2."
The placard had been placed there by
the owner, who had made a wager that
he would display the bicycle for two
hours. and that no one would venture TO
buy it.
There was a lot of lively talk among
the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but
nobody went into the cigar store where
the man who had bet that purchaser
would appear was anxiously waiting for
some one with $12 to materialiZe.
A stout Englishman neatly dressed
came along ana studied the placard with
frown.
81 hate these practical jokes, he cried.
II ride bicycle myself, and only wish
had $12 in cash, and Id get that wheel.
That reminds me of the story Of the man
who stood on London bridge and offered
to sell genuine gold sovereigns for apen-
nv apiece and stood there an hour with
out selling any,"
The bicycle owner won his bet finally,
to the chagrin of the man who felt sure
that a bargain would be snapped up.
The fun of it was that the owner would
have been forced TO part with it under
the terms Of the er.-New York Sun.

Give YOU cents echoed the young
man in surprise. for his applicant was Il
pretty. refined looking little girl Of about
10 summers, whose clothing looked as
though she were a child of fortune, not
of want.
Yes, sir. | want it to pay my car

gave me-" OF course the young man
gladly gave the girl the desired ; cents,
and she fairly b,dmcd upon hin. The
incident happened at Broad and Chest
nut street Not long after the young
man was waiting for car on Walnut
street, and 1t so happened that he was
thinking Of the pretty face Of the child.
well" unused he to himself, Pm
glad | happened to be there in time.
Some parents are awfully careless Of
their children, though. Think Of the
little thing having to ask for money. It's
a shamc!
There came a slight pull at his coat
sleeve. Then a sweet, weak voice that
seemed familiar said, PLEASE, sir, will
you give me > cents
The young man turned asif stung. lie
could hardly believe his OWE eyes. You
see, sir"-bcgan the sweet voice again.
Yes, l know all about it. You lost
the money your mother gave You for car
fare"
1t never phascd the little one. She
smiled divinely and answered, Yes, how
did you guess it, But the young man
had caught passing car, and the look
on his face set several Of the passengers
wondering. -Pmladclphia Press.

have never met with a more passion
ate, fiery actress than Ristori, with one
possessed to the same degree by the
demon of tragedy. Yet when she came
to Paris for the first time she was nurs-
ing her last child. Well, on the days
she was acting she brought her baby
with her to the theater, put it to sleep
and went to give it the breast during
the intervals of "Myrrha," which is sim
ply the most monstrously passionate of
all dramatic works. Did the part Of
nurse detract from the part of the tragic
actress? By no means. Did the part Of
the tragic actress detract from the part
of the nurse? No more than in the 9th
er case. am, no doubt, quoting an ex-
ceptional fact, which may be solely ac-
counted for by the strength of organiza
