A man had occasion to go to the Union
depot yesterday afternoon to meet his
wife When he had got to the station
he found his train was half an hour late,
| and he bought a paper and sat down.
Not long after he had seated himself
a rather pretty girl, who wore a pink
waist and had nice. red cheeks and clear
blue eyes. who had looked to be not over
! seventeen. came and sat down next TO
/ him. The man who was waiting for MS
wife took a casual look at the girl and
| went back to his paper.
| Pretty soon another pretty young girl.
/ who also wore a pink waist and had blue
! eyes and fresh complexion and all that
I sort of thing. came along and stopped in
i front of the first girl. The second pretty
/ girl looked as if she wanted TO cry. She
4 said. with tremulous voice: why, Net
/ tie, what do you think? The fares a
/ dollar"
"A what?" gasped Nettie.
"A dollar; and she told us it was only
/ 90 cents; and I haven't got enough TO get
/ the tickets; and, oh. dear! 1 don't know
what We will do
/ She sank down beside Nettie and the
/ two looked at the tiled floor with very
! solemn faces Presently Nettie looked
up and said: "Ill take walk around
the room. Perhaps there is somebody
J here l know" She made the tour of the
room and came back with her face
gloOmier than before. Nobody here 1
{ ever before" she said. brokenly.
( The other girl sprang to her feet. I'm
/ going to tell the ticket man just how it
I is she said. Perhaps he will take
what we've got and let us send him the
rest" She came back with tears in her
| eyes. He won't" she said sadly
| The man who was waiting for mis- wife
/ heard all Of this. His heart was touched.
/ So he leaned over and said: Il beg par

/ trouble?"
The pretty young ladies started and
| looked at the man with frightened airs
/ The man FASTENED to reassure them that
! his intentions were honorable. and, after
! many protests, and arranging for repay
ment and exchange OF names and all
that. he gave the pretty girls $l.15, and

1t so happened that the mans wife did
not come on that train. and ne went

| While he was sitting on a bench waiting
for the train he got to thinking Of his
| afternoon experience. and concluded he
had done a right worthy act. As he

pretty girl in a pink waist sat down be-

why, Nettie what shall We do? The

'sMr. Gresham is the most popular
member Of the cabinet" said a we'll
known democrat yesterday Il have
been in Washington now for some
months and no man is so we'll known or
| so popular. Lamont sticks very closely
to the war department and is not nearly
| as familiar as he used to be when private
| secretary. HOke Smith is usually visible
! at Wizards and the Arlington at GER
tain hours. but nobody pays much atten-
| ton to him. Somehow he is not built on
! the lines which convey the impression
| that his acquaintance is a distinction
All the stories about Oiney's retirement
! are absurd. Carlisle is, positively, the
man who seems to command less atten-
| ton than any other member of the cabi-
! net. Nothing is more singular than that
some men who thrive at one end of
| Pennsylvania-ave. are withered in the
air of the other end. There is no doubt
| in my mind that Gresham is in training
for the next democratic national cOnven-
| ton. The democratic congressman AL

ness on purely personal grounds, al

Cleveland's choice may initiate against
him. All this, you understand, is Cos
sip, my boy, but it's pretty close to the
facts Of the case after all."-Detroit Free

II think there is no doubt that the bulk
of the democrats in Kansas will join with
the popullsts in the coming elections"
said Mr.. A. w. Harrison of the Sunflower
State, at the Riggs. '"They will do it, as
they did before, to beat the common enc
my-the republicans-and my belief is
the combination is going to win. There
Is nothing for the democrats to do but to
| fuse with the populists. for certainly they
| cannot go over 20 a party which is at
| variance with all their political prin-
| ciples. OF course, there is a small fac
| ton of democrats. corporation employees,
and extreme gold men. who will not con-

Every one of the populist representa-
| tives in the present congress has been re-
| nominated. and 1 do not think a single
one will fail of reelection. The chances,
too. are greatly in favor of Governor

ceased to make war upon him, and there

camp. His opponent, ex-COngressman
| Morrell, is a very good man, probably
the strongest candidate the republicans
! could put up but he is known to be a
| lukewarm friend of silver. if not an
| avowed enemy, and that fact will cost
him thousands Of votes. "-Washingto

Have you seen the lady in the moon?
says the observant citizen in the Boston
Post. If you have not you should take
advantage of some of these clear nights
when the golden orb is clearly visible
| against the dark background of the sky
and when every one Of the mystical
| lines and shadows that traverse its sur
| face stand out in full relief. The lady
is said by those who claim to have seen
her visage to dwell in the upper right
| hand corner and she is also said to be a
very prepossessing young woman. Her
admirers discountenance the claim that
the "old man in the moon" never had
| existence. If you gaze at the luminary
through a pair of spy-glasses and have
| the assistance of an imaginative and
romantic disposition you Will find TIE
| lady in question much the sooner. At
the first peep you can seldom see her.
but prolonged and persevering scrutiny
! and a determination to make her out is
| usually rewarded by a glimpse of the
coquette beauty. Do not, however, if
gazing in company with your best girl,
| grow too warm in her praises.
