VITRIFIED BRICK.
This Paving Material Has Sud-
denly Come Into Favor.


denly Come Into Favor.
The council committee on paving met
yesterday afternoon and considered the
question of material for paving Nicollet
avenue. The question is an old one,
but it is only recently that the property
owners along the avenue have come to
the conclusion that cedar block paving
for commercial street is hardly the
proper caper. Cedar block paving was
not mentioned at yesterdays meeting.
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to recommend to the council to
pave the avenue with yitrified brick.
1t will he stipulated that the brick be
laid on base of concrete, and that the
contractors be obliged to furnish
guarantee that the brick will endure
ten years.
Aid. Woodward favored asphalt, and
Aid. Jennings granite. Aid. Schwartz
was the only real vitrified brick man
present, but he managed to convince
Aid. LOye and Flanders that the kind
OF paving he favored was the hes t.
Then the other two fell in line.

A Meringue Glace without Ants. "

A man went into the cafe of Broad
way hotel the other day and sat down
on stool in front of the lunch counter
He had been in many of the eating
houses or "beaneries, " in the BoWery
and Park row and thought he was famil-
lar with the various terms which wait
ers employ when repeating a custom
er's order but he had surprise in store
for him. When he had finished his
luncheon he told the waiter he would
like meringue glace by the way of
dessert. The proud and naughty per-
son behind the counter stiffened his
spinal column and in loud and COM
manding tones said:
John, meringue glace!"
One of the menials outside the coun-
ter sped on the errand with lightning
like rapidity and after apparently max
ing the delicacy returned with it. On
close examination by the customer it
was found that numerous small red ants
were racing over it. He mentioned the
fact TO the waiter
"What!" he exclaimed, in Mortified
tone, "ants? Dear! dear!" Then he
called again: John, John, come here;
look here at this! Get meringue glace
without ants!"
"WhatP" said John, in a dazed way,
while every man in the room turned his
head and snickered.
"Get meringue glace without ants, -
repeated the proud and naughty one,
with emphasis, land hurry up about it,
too"
So John removed the small conven-
ton of insects and soon returned with a
meringue glace without ants. IN Y

HE SHOWED HE COULD RUN.
The Little Fellow Was Satisfied, Though
He Didn't Win the Prize.

First in is the winner always, sure
enough. That the best man in pluck
or brains doesn't always get first place
in the competitions of the world is gem

the front rank cannot be disputed, says

One little boy forgot this distintion
the other day and remained blissfully
happy in consequence. 1t was at a
travelling circus at Patchogue, L. l.,
one of those one-night stands where
they fill out the show by an act or two
made up of local effort, running, bowl
ing or sparring for some prize by MEM
bers of the audience, and where, before
the sets have time to be cleared after
the performance, they began to hand
the poles from under the tents.
A race for small boys for 25-cent
prize was to be run, and chubby, we'll

father and mother to allow him to run.
The other boys were bigger and shah
bier boys and the father only consented
after long pleading and hesitation.

sides spurred him on to excited effort.
He threw his little curly head up and
stuffed his fists into his trousers pocket
Just to show that he felt twas all as
easy as fun and if he won the % cents it
wouldn't be after any tremendous exer-
ton. But few years and short legs, as
was natural, fell behind and when a
raw-boned lad of about 8 gripped the
] post and claimed the quarter the little

/ He wasn't thrown down about it.
His head kept up and his eyes cleaned
and he stepped back to his seat, his fists
still thrust independently in his pockets
and with an air of actual conquest.

Among the Bargains.

The saleswoman had just sold a
feather boa to young lady with blonde
hair, who seemed very much pleased
with her bargain.
"I'm SO glad she didn't ask me if it
was real ostrich" said the saleswoman,
as she looked over her book of sales.
"Was it?" asked the young man at
the remnant counter.
Not at that price, thank YOU"
Just then the young woman returned
in state of still alarm. She hurried
up to the girl who had just sold her the
ostrich feather boa and said excitedly:
"See here, please"
yes" drawled the girl, who was
determined to die game.
will you please tell me whether the
feathers were plucked from living
ostrich or dead one?"
"Oh," said the girl. much relieved,
'yes, certainly, living bird, of course.
"Thank you. l have made a vow
never to wear anything that is taken
from the dead"
She went away satisfied and the
saleswoman gasped several times before
she could speak. Then she said:

Mr.. RuNkLEs. couRTsHIp.
He Won by the Exercise of Good Judg-
ment and a Powerful Arm.

NO can't say as 1 was married to
my husband, Mr.. Runkles, through just
what you folks now days would
call love. 1t came mostly about this
way: When was a girl about 16 Mr..
Runkles took a strong hankerin' after
me, and he did considerable escortin'
with me, goin' to several places; and,
bein' seen there with him, it got out
that we was keepin' company; and Mr..
Runkles was mighty strong man. and
no one could come up to him in fist
fightin', and the other fellers were feard
of him owin' TO his brags if another fell
Ter started goin' with me he'd pull him
limb from limb. Now, there was lot
of nice, slick fellers that took ham
KERN after me, but they were feared of
Mr.. Runkles, and you could not get
one of them to go near me, much less
start keepin' company.
"All this went mighty hard on me,
for was girl of no mean appearance;
and, when it came to dancin' and smart
back-talk, not a girl could come near
up to me. can't say as Mr.. Runkles
was the kind of man that could take
strong hankering' after. He was too
big and what you might call raw boned
In them days. He was not given to
talk at all, and had just to keep quiet
when he was keepin company, If that
could be called keepin' company.
Things went on in this way, and didn't
see any things tellin' of change; knew
Mr.. Runkles was determined-like, and
nothin' would happen unless some OF
the fellers that had hankerin' after
me would stand up tightly, and not be
feared of Mr.. Runkles.
Thar was one feller shall never for
get, and he was a nice feller. the incest
one of them all; he was feller named
Dave Harris, and I did like Dave, and
Dave did like me; but Dave had not the
spirit of fightin' in him, and he would
have nothin' to do with me, owin' to
Mr.. Runkles' intentions in that line. At
last / speaks up to him, and says, Mr..
Harris. why don't you come and see
me no more" and he says back to me,
I'D like to awfully, Miss Briggs, but
don't you know kinder hate to face the
wrath of Mr.. Runkles' And then /
tells him not to mind Mr.. Runkles, but
he would not look at the case in that
way. You know l amt no good at
tist-tightin',' he said, but you know
think the world and all of you,' / says
to him, BE man, Dave Harris. and
make stand for your rights and my
own as American citizens to do our free
will; but Dave would say TO every
thing said, You know amt no good
at fist-fghtin'.'
Then got very proud-like, and had
nothin' to say to him. | was gittin'
well up in the twenties, and things did
look serious to me-my looks was fadin',
and Mr.. Runkles showed no signs of
yieldin' I was so tired of trying to
hold out saw no feller would come
near me, owin' to their bein' feared of
Mr.. Runkles. / came to terms, and
we was marrit, and that is the reason
that I am rather sharp on Mr.. Runkles

He Discovered a Resemblance.

Twas immensely amused the other
day in a cal to watch the puzzled ex-
preston which came over the face of a
very swell-looking man, dressed in the
latest style, who got into the car few
blocks after very martly dressed girl
had entered. He sat down beside her
and rode for some time without discover
ing that her costume was, with the ex-
ception of the trousers, the exact counter
part of his own. His eyes travelled over
her covert coat, made just like the covert
coat which he was wearing; her shirt
front, high collar and perfectly tied era
vat; her Hamburg hat, her boutonniere
and her gloves with heavy stitching. 1t
was more like dog looking at his re-
Election in the mirror than anything
have ever seen, and when he got up,
shook himself, and with one parting
glance left the car fully expected to
hear him bark. The girl paid no atten-
ton. To her he was but one of many,
and if she noticed him at all it was quite
unnoticeabe to any one else.
