HIS IMITATION TOO GOOD.


just Retribution Visited Upon a Froiic-
some Fennsylvanian.
A well-known resident of Manayunk
has the reputation of being the best
imitator of the calls of birds or beasts
in the city. His imitation of the cater
wauling OF q Thomas cat, says the
Philadelphia Record, is simply irresist-
ible, and when he gets out into the
back yard for practice all the felines
for squares are soon gathered In close
proximity. A few nights ago he came
to grief in an effort to have some fun
with grabbed ncighbor. About II
o'clock he stationed himself outside of
board fence surrounding the mans
residence and began mcowing in low
tone, gradually rising, until high c
note was perfected. In few minutes
the window was raised and sundry
articles wsre thrown In the direction
of the supposed night howler. Tho
howls then increased in volume, finally
reaching the ear-cracking quality.
The aroused neighbor could stand the
racket no longer, and, stepping down
stairs, opened tho door quietly, slipped
out, seized a clothcs-prop and made for
the vicinity Of Mr., Thomas, who ut
that time poked his head above the
fence and received stunning blow.
which knocked him insensible. He
was carried home and revived with

STRANGE DISCOVERY IN AFRICA
Balzac's Dressing Gown in the Wardrobe
of tho King OF Dshomey


of tho King OF Dahomey.
Unlooled-for things have been found
in unlikely places, says the Illustrated
London News, but there has probably
been no discovery more rcmarkabl
than that of Balzac's dressing gown in
the possession of the king of Dahomcy.
Monarchs are rarely literary, and his
dusliy majesty, one would think. was
the very last of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic of nov.
elist, however distinguished. Never
theless, the French found it in the
royal apartment ut Abomcy. There
were some ingenious theories founded
upon this circumstance. One of the
amazons, it was thought, might have
been novel reader, and had sent to
Paris to secure the interesting memen-
to, and, on the affair coming to the
knowledge of her sovereign, had
fastened to say she had purchased it
for his own shoulders. For, indeed, ho
always wore itupon state occasions. 1t
was not dressing gown, such as
literary persons In this country are
wont to wear (of sccond-class flannel
worn at the edgesj, but of purple vel.
vet embroidered with gold. AS mat
ter of fact, it had been given to Balzao
by some Of his admirers and after his
death had been bought by dealer in
curiosities, who had placed it, with
other Snowy articles, on tho West
African market. 1t is sad to think how
u plain tale will put down"-that is,

THE LITTLE TERROR,
How baby Amused Itself and others OF
the Stree, Car.

AAo" A'huy !huiuSeu user anu others on
the Stree, Car.
1t was a very cunning little child,
just beginning to talk, says the New
York Herald, and its mother manipu-
lated it so as to show its sweetness to
the best advantage for the rest of tine
passengers. The lady who sat beside
the mother on the cross seat of the ear
smiled at it, tho woman opposite
chirped at it, the man across the aisle
let it play with his cane. Amid all
these attentions the little one crowed
and laughed and squrmed around in
the very ecstasy Of pleasure.
Every now and then, however, the
child turned toward the lady next to it
and regarded her with fixed admra-
ton, Finally it put ont its chubby
hand and cautiously felt her nose
through her veil. Then everybody
looked at the nose and saw that it was
very red. Conscious of this obscrva-
ton the woman with the nose got red
checks and IA red neck. The nose in
the meantime lighted up like beacon,
greatly to the delight of the baby, who
grabbed at it under the impression,
evidently, that the nose had been col
ored up for its especial enjoyment.
"Pitty! cried the child, trying at
the same time to take hold of the
nose.
The unteeling man with whose cane
the baby had been playing grinned as
he picked up the discarded stick and
the mother tried to choke the baby off
with kisses. The other women smiled
swcetly-all but the woman with the
red nose. She was mad enough to bite
the child's head Off. But the little in
noccnt began to pinch It's mothers
nose, and make mental comparison
between that organ and the nose shin
ing through the veil. This was cer-
tainly odious. But the closer the in
fant studied the two noses the more
satisfied it appeared to be that the red
nose was the prctticst and most de-
sirablc. So it playfully grabbed the
red nose once more, to the equal dis
comfiture of the owner of the nose and
the owner of the baby. At that point
the woman with the nose arose and
made for the door, the baby began to
yell with disappointment, and the
spectators laughed merrily.

A PENURlOUS RICH MAN,

! Dispatch man, "who is worth nearly

and suggested that we double up and
both sleep in one berth, for he said,
it will be cheaper for both | laughed
at the idea, and informed him that |

Portable for the sake of few dollars.
Well, he resigned himself to his fate,

In Chicago but day said Where's
your bag? Surely you didn't bring a

closer to me, and, crossing his legs,
began in most earnest manner:

camp, lost my way and took refuge
for the night in small cave accir

The next morning was awakened by
something pulling ut the coat, and,
opening my eyes, saw that 1t was a
cub bear. A few feet distant was a
large bear, sitting on its launches, and
another cub playing around her. had
no weapon of any kind, and was com.
pletely ut the mercy Of the animal; but
she was not in the humor TO dispose OF
me just then. She was watching the
cub as 1t pulled at my coat, and was
careful to make no motions that might
be considered hostile. For two hours

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.

bier, sharpers and others for the pur.

there was one device for stopping the
passage OF a marble ut certain point
which could be changed at the will
and discretion Of the operator in

small isecreted electromagnetic, the
