Described.

A very charming and witty widow lady
residing In Washington gave her little
daughter NEUROLOGICAL primer several
years ago, and the child Immediately be-
came intensely interested in the romantic
stories of the gods and goddesses, Long
after she had exhausted the primer she
was ceaseless in her demands to have her
appetite for incidents, which happened In
the Elysium fields and thereabouts, salts
fed. One day her mother thought 1t
would be good idea to take her hearts
delight over to the Corcoran gallery and
show her the statuary and casts and other
works which have the heroes Of mytholo-
gy for their subjects.
While pursuing this pleasant purpose
the pair came upon the Torso, reclining
legless and armless upon It's massive ped
estal. The mother was stumped to explain
to her daughter what the SCARED and
broken mass Of plaster signifled other than
being the dismeinbered remains of grand
human figure The little one, however
quickly helped her parent out of her pre-
dicament. There was large placard or
the base Of the pedestal bearing the for
bidding words Hands off," The little
miss looked at what she deemed was thC
title Of the work with an expression Of
scorn, and the same sentiment was indi
Gated in her infection when she spoke
Hands of, ;" she remarked, with sniff o.
superior wisdom. Hands off. should

He Made His Host Feel Pretty Cheap
When He Wrote His Name.


During the summer of 1868, being In
the service Of the United States, was
stationed at Fort Wallace, Kan. In those
days The arrival of tho overland mail coach
was np event of some importance, and
those Ut us who were off duty used to be on
hand ut the post trading store to welcome
it and incidentally to note the number Of
bullet holes made in 1t since the last trip
Ono morning there got off the coach
from the west tall, middle aged man
wearing a broad SLOUGH hat, long linen
buster and a pair Of cavalry boots, into
which his trousers were carelessly stuck.
Seeing my comrade and me in close prox-
unity, he approached, and we, recognizing
him, gave military salute, which he
gracefully returned
He inquired who was In command Of the
garrison l answered, Captain B. is
temporarily in command In the absence Of
Colonel -" He desired to DO directed
to Colonel is quarters. We pointed
out the house Then I returned to the
Office, where was on duty as clerk.
Captain B was pompous martinez
who had never smelled powder in his life
and was detested by both officers and men.
In due time he arrived, and having no
ticed the tall man he called to his orderly,
front Of Colonel IS quarters whether
he is an officer.
The orderly returned with an answer in
the affirmative.
Said Captain B, "Give my compli-
ments to that officer and say that desire
his presence at headquarters.
The orderly did SO.
Shortly after entered the tall man. Cap
tain B., looking quite stern, asked,
"Sir, are you an officer in the army"

'Well, have been travelling q little
lately through the west"
"Are you on leave of absenceT
mot exactly"
"Well, sir, did 1t not strike you that 1t
was your duty to report at these headquar-
ters Immediately on your arrival in the
garrison"
The tall man admitted that it had not
struck HMM fact, he was tired and
hungry and thought more of breakfast
and little rest than anything else.
Said Captain B.: "Well, sir, that is
no excuse for breach of military ETH
quette. We keep here book in which we
require all officers entering the garrison to
register. Orderly, hand the register to the
officer. You will be good enough to write
your name, rank and regiment with such
remarks as will be necessary"
The gentleman leisurely took the pen
and quietly wrote, william T. Sher-

Misfortune.

The humor of turning every misfortune
into Judgment proceeds from wrong no
tions of religion, which, In its own ma
ture, produces good will toward men and
puts the mildest construction upon every
accident that befalls them. In this case,
therefore, it is not religion that sours q
mans temper, but 1t is his temper that
Iours his REORGANIZATION.
