SENATOR DUBOIS AFRAID or THE MyUE1


Senator Dubois is frghtfuy ANNOYED by n story
which has gained currency In the press through
OUT the country that he would be one OF the society
men who will shortly dance the mnuet at a fash
lonnbe charity entertainment In this city. II all
originated in little pleasantly but It Will probably
raise havoc among the Senator's mining constitu-
ency in Idaho The way the Senator explains 1t is
as follows: lie was at dinner n short time ago
and was sitting next to Mrs Carlisle.
"Of course you have heard OF the charity enter
tanment which we are getting up. said Mrs; Car
Isle II was just thinking you would cut a charm
ing figure in the mnuet ,
Or course, the rudlmentary Instincts OF CALAMITY
md Mr. dubois is a gallant northumberland
a ready assent TO the proposition
"Why. | should be charmed said the Senator,
with one OF his most wltchng smiles.
The matter passed with that, and the Senator
thought more OF It until number OF ladies' one
day him and began to felicitate themselves upon
the prospect OF seeing him tread the stately mnuet:
The Senator tried 10 laugh off. but. as fate would
have IT, a designing newspaper man was within ear
shot and he told dozen OF his colleagues that
Dubois would dance In the minuet. From that day
on the Senator has had daily instalment OF the
story thrust under his nose In every newspaper he
has taken In his hands.
III that story gets out TO Idaho" exclaimed the
Senator In comcal despair the other day. Il shall
be ruined"
At last accounts he had left the city to weather
out the storm at the home Of Senator Proctor in

APPLE BLOSSOMS.

BY Roscoe c. f. Brown.
Apple blossoms. did che say.
Lining ali the country way;
In the fields where waving grasses
Nod 10 every breeze that passes;
on the hillsldes rough and steep.
Sloping down where ripples creep.
LaZily and half asleep,
O'er the pond?
Apple blossoms grow Ger all.
Peep from every garden wall
And fulfil for her each day
Budded promises OF May.
Apple blossoms. did she say?
Apple blossoms. did she say?
All, but that Is far away
From the human tide on-driving.
Ever rushing, pushing. striving.
Surging through the narrow street
Where the streams Of traffic meet;
From the tramp OF weary feet
In the town.
Stone walls rise on every side.
Skies themselves seem petrihed
With their stony leaden gray.
Yet. saw flower to-day
Could apple blossom stray?

ances followed and the run of the ballet was stopped. but the tune to which the ballet girl danced her passo solo pass cd into the streets of Milan and was heard everywhere. The words. partly Italian and partly Milanese. were hy- brid meiange of love and war. with the refrain. "Daghela avand un passo. '' meaning Move q step forward" And this was received by the public as an exhortation to patriotic action. while by the Austrians both tune and words were deemed an insolent challenge. and were not forgotten few months later when war was declared between Aus tria and the kingdom of Piedmont. "Daghela avantr" was then played in derlsion by the Austrian military bands as they advanced Into Piedmont. but Austria was soon obliged to evacuate this district, and her retreating armies heard the same strains sung by the advancing soldiers of Italy. Province after province was annexed to Pied mont, and with each successive annex ation the popularity of this strange song increased until 1t was heard all over Italy.-Lippincott's.

W.4S PROYIDEgCES

The Drummer Thought so, But tho Unbe- lisvors sooffed at it-Yet 1t all Happened in n Providential Way.
 You know" began the drummer as soft and tender smile played over his face. T was in St. Louis about two years ago and wanted to get check cashed. Like any other fool went to the bank alone, though knowing would have to be identified. The teller threw the check back at me, and l handed him my card, a lot of old let ters. the strawberry mark on my left arm, and all that, but 1t was no go. l must go and get some one to identify me. though didn't know a soul in that town. Do any of you believe in Provi- dence?"
 One impulsive individual did, but the others maintained discreet silence.
 Well. went out on the street and wandered up and down. wondering what should do. In the midst of the rush caught sight of familiar face, and soon had the man by the arm.
 Say! you remember me, don't you?" I asked.
 "'No, sir
 "'Never saw me before?'
 "'Never.'
 But you are in error. Didn't you used to live in Elmira, N. Y.?
 "I did, sir
 "'Lived on Cherry street"
 "'Yes, sir
 Had daughter named Maude?
 Sir, who are you?'
 Had a daughter named Maude. Don't you remember that on certain occasion you came home and found a young man sitting up with her and booted him out doors?'
 t" 'Ah!, I do remember
 Well, am the booted young man of the dim past. Cofne down to the bank and identify me as 4Dobbs.'
 "'With the greatest of pleasure.' Gentleman" continued the drum- n1er, as he heaved sigh, Tt is need less to add that got my money and that the old man: had cocktail with me-" ...'.T T' 7 <,'
 But it was funny you should admit that he booted you out of his house" " protested one of the audience.
 How funny?,, I was there and I was booted. Why conceal the fact. He was the girls father. He had a right to boot me. Gentleman, don't belong to any church, but do seek to be a good man, and I ask you if the hand of Providence was not in it? I spark girl: Her father comes home and boots me. Years elapse and just when l want $25O on a check to get out of St. Louis run across the pooter and he helps me out. If not Providence what is it?'

didn't get on very we'll. and he went to Charlie Foster. then governor Of Ohio. and asked if something in the way Of an office couldn't be found for him. Impossible" said the governor. You are Democrat and am a Re- publican. II would cause no end of talk if were to give you A place. with so many Republicans wanting offices" But Brice was in straits. and he begged so earnestly for some help by which he might extricate himself that Foster finally placed sum of money in his hands and told him to come to New York and look after certain financial transaction. His last injunction to the young man was 10 follow instructions. When he got there Brice made in- quiries first and then acted directly contrary 10 what he had been told. telegraphing forthwith what he had done. Foster wired indignantly for the reason. The reply was: Because l could make siO.OoO for you" There was no questioning beyond that.and thence forth Foster and Brice worked in har- mony In various railroad operations. the latter giving up his idea of legal career for the more lucrative one of railroad builder and promoter.

SAY lOTK SAY.

Republicans of New Haven, go to the ward caucuses and say your say. There is the place to effectively speak and act against things that do not suit you in the management of the party, and there is the place to speak and act effectively for or against candidates. Do not be squelched by little or big managers, and do not be gulled by fine talk about harmony. Plotters in all parties have a very ingenious way of connecting their selfish schemes with harmony, and the idea they seek to impress on those whom they want to work is that if their schemes are in terfered with harmony will be destroy ed, and without harmony nothing can be done. The way to treat this idea Is to realize that there are better things than harmony in a selfish cause. and that the harmony of bossism isn't a good thing for any party. Free ex- pression of opinion and free action in voting are the things to be harmonious in. If they disturb and balk the plot ters so much the better for the party.

 Thus at one stroke have these mag nificent women fixed some things that needed fixing. By making their limit in dress goods twenty-five cents a yard they have made 1t reasonably certain that they can have some new dresses without running their husbands,a by intending to add to the stock of home comforts they have made 1t reasonably certain that their husbands will give them all the new dresses at twenty five cents yard that they have money to buy.It is fine scheme for all concern ed. and We hope 1t will spread rapidly. New dresses at twenty-five cents a yard and more home comforts Is a splendid platform to stand on.
