II may be- added that II Is almost impossible TO

The atmosphere OF Chica 20 on Dear
born from Madisol to Monroe was
redolent Of perfume the other even
ing. The pleasant odors came from a
basket which a peddler had placed on
the sidewa K near the middle of the
block The basket when it was first
placed there was filed with bottles Of
various designs and sizes. It did not
need the husky shout of the peddler
to proclaim his wares, for the atmos-
phere bore testimony to theis charac-
ter. He nevertheless lost no oppor-
tunity in telling that he had the finest
perfumes on ear h.
"Ere's yer best brand o. c'longe.

cents apiece. They're reel genwine

these ERE bottles to perfume six dozen
o handkichers, and the perfume IL
never leave them till the handkichers
are worn out in washing"
The crowds around tie basket were
buying up the bottles almost as fast
as he could hand them ont to them.
One of the purcha+ers was a cute
young man who thought he could
make his wife nice present and not
have it cost him very much. He
handed over fifteen cents to the fal1ir
and selected the incest looking bottle
in the basket The purchaser then
stepped into a hallway to have one
smell of the contents He drew off
the cap, pulled out the cork, and
placed the bottle to his nose. There
was not a particle of odor in the pint
of liquid 1t was water and nothing
else, except little coloring stuff He
brought it back to the fakir and de-
manded his money back.
you had better take it bac'<," said
the young man, as he placed his foot
against the basket.
The peddler took the hint, gave
back the fifteen cents, and took him
self off to another quarter of the
town. The sweet O1ors which perme-
ated the air came from straw in the
bottom of the basket, over which the
tal1ir from time to time sprayed lit
tie perfume from a bottle with noz-
zle attachment

Janitor Eastman of the new school
house in Perryville, Maine. says that
while the pu9ils were at PLAY in the
yard the other day he looked out Of
the window and saw number of them
gathered around little girl Their
actions indicated alarm, and he went
out to see what the trouble was. He
found the child to be sound asleep,
while yet standing upon her feet
Janitor Eastman took the girl in his
arms and carried her into enc of the
teachers private rooms and fixed up a
bed and pillow for her out Of sha wis
and various kinds of wraps. Here she
remained for over an hour, sleeping as
soundly and as peacefully as though
in her more com Portable bsd at home
After her nap she appeared refreshed
and was eager for p ay again.

Got Even with tho Judge.

1t is told of Henry w. Paine, the
Boston lawyer, who recently died in
that city, aud who more than once
refused seat on the Massachusetts
supreme court bench, that while he
was arguing a case one day before
Chief Justice Gray the latter inter
rupted the course of the argument
with the inpatient remark: "Mr.
Paine, you know that is not law"
The nature and manner of the inter
ruption ware of kind to throw even
the most sclf-possessed advocate of
his balance. Mr.. Paine, however,
without any outward man Hesitation OF
annoyance or embarrassment, replied
with simple dignity, 1T was law until
your honor spoke" and proceeded
with his argument.
