A young Baltimore beau on a recent
visit to Chicago was riding in a
crowded car in the city when two bust

"There's no chance OF getting a seat
here" The Baltimorean dotted his
hat and invited one to take his place
to her utter surprise. The car became
still more crowded and madame's

he pulled his coat tails. "Don't in

A proposed charity ball for the poor
at Knoxville, Tenn, was preached
against by the ministers, when those in
charge of the ball said if the ministers
would put up 81 900 the ball would be
abandoned. The ministers got to work,
raised the money and put It'll in the bank.
The club added the same amount and
$1,000 were raised for the poor without
the ball, but considerable ~ill-feeling

VIGILANCE AGAINST THE PEST
What Happened to Kate Field In Fifth
Avenue Omnibus in New York.

If Kate Field, of Washington, were
not a woman whose word cannot be
questioned. this story of an occurrence
in Fifth avenue omnibus would not
be believed. A friend and herself had
entered the vehicle, says the New
York Press, and another woman and a
man followed at intervals of a block
or two apart. Presently a gentleman
got i'll who was recognized as one of the
most eminent physicians in New York
He made his way up to the front of the
omnibus and sat quiet for minute or
two. then turned and looked earnestly
upand down the two sides on which his
fellow passengers were seated. 4 no
nent later he pulled the strap and
stepped to the door.
"LadieS." said he. "one Of yuu has
smallpox. shall have to trouble Won
all to lift your wells" The narrator and
her companion responded at once. but
the other woman held back. The man
arose and beat hasty retreat. the doc
tor holding open the door. but saving
as he did so: You would be wiser. sir
to come with us and be vaccinated."
The man came back and took his seat
quietly in the omnibus, and the doctor
ordered the driver to drive at once to
the stable, which he did From the
stable the doctor telephoned for an
ambulance, in which the woman who
had refused to lift her veil was taken
away to the hospital. she having be-
come thoroughly frightened by that
time and offering no resistance The
doctor procured some fresh vaccine
from neighboring druggist and vac
cinated the two ladies and their male
fellow passenger.
He explained that he had detected
the odOr of the disease on entering the
omnibus, and that it was only by such
prompt action as his that it would be
possible to stamp out the epidemic in
the great city.

The Hermits Who Live in the Big Down
Town Office Buildings.
The hotel hermitS are more widely
known than the hermits of the big
office buildings. but the latter come in
for a good deal of comment in dCSul-
tory way. and are apparently proud of
their SecluSiOn. There are men in the
big hotels says the New York sun. who
boast of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the
building in years. Other hotel hermits
go to their Offices every morning. re-
turn at a certain time in the after
noon. and then remain steadfaStly in
doors until the following day. They
are intimately acquainted with all
the gOings on in the big hOStelry
which serves them as a home. and
have an active interest in its various
departments. The hermitS of the of
fee buildings sometimes sleep in them,
but as a rule they have lodgings some
where in the lower part of the town,
where they put in eight or ten hours
out of the twenty-four But at all
other hours they are to be found in the
big building which serves them as an
office. and practically as home.
A great number of men go to the
Equitable building at half-past seven
o'clock in the morning, attend to their
office duties. eat breakfast, luncheon
and dinner at the restaurant, get
shaved and have their boots polished
in the building, and remain there I'M
til ten or eleven o'clock every night
After time the place gets to be sort
of home to them, and what would
seem to be hardship to other men
really becomes. through habit, second
nature to these inmates. Any PROPOSE
ton to leave the building TO fulfill an
an appointment outside, at any hour of
the day. is frowned down promptly.

When Renaud first came as senator

a months rent-one hundred and fifty
francs-in advance. The proprietor
asked him if he would have a receipt.
1T is not necessary, replied Remand.
God has witnessed the payment
do you believe in God?' sneered the
host.
Most assuredly," replied Remand,
don't you?"

An old Quaker friend, a bachelor,
visited Mr.. Whittier. When the hour
for retiring came he was shown to his

"Thee'd better go to bed" replied
the poet: the female garments will
