the Inauguration.

The lobby was crowded to suffocation.
The murmur Of voices was stilled. The
shufling OF feet over the marble floor
ceased An avenue was made through
the solid mass Of humanity. Some men
barred their heads.

from the floor near the entrance to the

Of death Every bone in that limp
clay had been broken. His young life
had been crushed out of him, vet SO sud

him.

Didn't Care for Looks.

An optimistic age would have pro-
nounced her hair golden, but there was
a mole on her neck which carried three
hairs, and as she stood in careless grace
before her mirror, with see green dress
half revealing the idiosyncrasies of her
figure, the most charitable judgment
would no, call her pretty.
Il don't care for looks"
An expression Of deep content perme-
ated her countenance as she reached for
the pigment and with def stroke sup
piled a rich red color for her lips and
cheeks
Looks are superficial"
With touch of the pencil she darken-
ed the lids of her eyes, and over all
spread snowy powder which lent to
her face the deIicacy of texture of satin
fabric.

Through the agency of a fine pair Of

Before she finished dressing she drank
a lot of arsenic for her complexion and
caused her maid to pound her for two
hours to induce plumpness.

AN HONEST FIsHMONGER.
His Trouble in Discovering Who Had
OVerpaid Him.

There lives in this city an eX-JCdge VIII o
is noted for his witty after-dinner speech
es, for his brilliant oratorical powers on
the political stump, bis ambition tc shine
in the Congress of the nation and his mis-
fortune in living in district that does not
give him enough votes to send him to the
halls in which he is SO anxious to make his
mark. He is married man and his wife
is as pretty as she Is amiable.
A few days since the eX-Judge's wife
had occasion TO 20 to the Center Market to
make purchase of fish from dealer vino
has a stall in the middle of that place.
She was pressed for time and as soon as
the parcel intended for her was placed in
her hand she passed over 70 the dealer as
she supposed the amount her purchase
came TO.
Several days later sister of this lady,
who looks enough like her to be twin,
called upon the same dealer and left her
order, stating that she would return in a
short time. When she did return she was
astonished to hear the dealer tell her that
on the occasion of her call al his place the
day before she had made mistake in pay
ing him.
The lady colored and intimated that the
mistake was not hers, as she had not been
at his place for more than a week and that
she was sure she had not made any mis-
take in regard to change.
The fishmonger appeared nonplqsed
that gave me the gold piece for quarter
then l don't know striped bass from a
Sardine."
That afternoon the lady who had been
TO market called on her sister, and while
talking of all that had taken place since
she had last met her, told of the incident
at the market.
THAT" said the ex-Judge's wife, sac
counts for the disappearance of my $40
piece"
The following day the ex-Judge's wife
presented herself at the fsh-dealer's stall
and stated tha she had come down to in
aure about the mistake in change, when
the dealer smilngly said. 81 thought you
did not care to ackno wledge yesterday
that you had made mistake, but that
after nights rest you would think better
Of it,"
You certainly are mistaken" retorted
the ex-Judge' wife, ''for l was not here
yesterday, but | was here few days since
and am of the opinion that l overpaid
you for what bought"
well, If you were net here yesterday,
madam. don't know striped bass from a
sardine."
"Oh, l think you do" said the lady who
appreciated the dealers embarrassment,
"but | have TO explain. 1t was my sister
who called here Yesterday and she told me
of the mistake you had made as to her,"
"Well, bless YOU, madam, / hope you'll
excuse me, but I'm sure Of one thing and
that is that either you or your sister gave
SO piece for quarter and l am anxious
to restore the money. Ii you say that you
are the lady | wouldn't doubt your word,
so here's the money" and with that be
handed over the shining bright eagle.
The dealer had some trouble and some
surprises, but he feels happy in the knowl-
edge that he was honest and that ne did
not retain that which might never have
been inquired after.
