THE LIGHTNING CHANGE MAN.
He Gives Few of His Friends Point
ers on How to Dress.

erS on low to Dress
The man who thinks he is rapid
| dresser was in cafe at Broadway and
| Twenty-sixth street with half dozen
| friends at p. NJ. De was in afternoon
dress. Being invited to stroll down
street, he answered that he was afraid
that he did not have time. as he had Z
| o'clock dinner engagement, and must go
| home ''in q few minutes to dress"
81 should think" said one Of the party,
'that if you had far TO go you would be
! late to your engagement as it Is"
"Oh, no." answ cred the other. Its
| true that shall have to go to Fifty-ninth
| street to dinner, but l have ample time"
! "Well," said another, ''if l had Z
| O'Clock dinner engagement L certainly
! should not be sitting here at 6. I'd be
| home dressing"
'Tn tell you what Pill d." said the
rapid dresser, II live at Fifth avenue and
| Twenty -seYenth street. Phi bet you that
l can leave here now, go home and dress,
come back here, take a drink with you
| all, walk to the nearest elevated station
| three blocks; go to Fifty-eighth street,
walk two blocks to the house where l
dine-all within ten minutes before
| O'clock"
! "rll not take the bet," was the reply,
''but l don't see how it can be done. Why,
| you will need half an hour at least to
dress. l require nearer an hour"
"Iu make you another proposition,
them" said the lightning change man.
! "1'll bet you that l can walk home from
! here, dress, come back here, and join you
before twenty-five minutes past 8 O'Clock,
and it is now eight minutes past that
hour"
Done" cried the other, and the rapid
| dresser Immediately left the cafe.
Il guess Pye won that bet,'' said the
| taker; CHANGING confidently at the clock.
Il guess you haven't" said another
one OF the group. Jack can dress in ten
minutes on a pinch. 1t will take him not
more than four, possibly only three min
utes to walk to his home and back here.
Give him four for walking and eleven Tor
! dressing, and he still has a leeway OF two
minutes. Wait and see."
At tweuty-three minutes past O'Clock
the fast dresser strolled into the cafe. He
was in full evening dress, his hair care
fully and smoothly plastered, his tie
fastened and set to perfection, and his
! whole appearance that of a man who had
| lots OF time to kill.
! Guess l won that bet," he said, coolly,
| drawing chair to the table and remov-
| ing his gloves.-New York Tribune.

a False Diagnosis.

La grippe is confounded by many per-
sons with a severe attack of catarrh,
which in some respects resem bles the
former. These individuals suffer severely
with pain about the forehead, eyes and
ears, with soreness in throat and stop
page OF the nasal passages, and, in fact,
are incapacitated for work of any kind
for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been
used with the best results in such cases.
The remedy will give instant relief.

a STORY OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN AMONG OLD TIME
SENATOR'S.

The late Judge l.. q. G.. Lamar
possessed a remarkable peculiarity.
Unusual excitement seemed to act
upon his nerves like an opiate and
put him to sleep. This was strongly
exemplified after his remarkable
verbal encounter with the great New
Yorker, Mr.. Conkling. Mr.. Lamar,
after scarifying MIR. Conkling for
life, leaving him with burning yet
deferential resentment, closed as
follows:
II apologize to the Senate for this
seeming unparliamentary language"
advancing to the New Yorker and
throwing his index finger full in his
face,) Language that no good man,
deserves, and no brave man
will wear" Immediately Mr.. La
mar walked to the clOakroom on the
Democratic side, lay down on sofa,
and in three minutes was sleeping as
calmly as babe. There was great
excitement. 1t was believed Mr..
Conkling would not submit to the
language applied to him, and that,
while he probably would not chal,
lenge Lamar, being an athlete, hn
would meet him on the streets and
assault him. The late Senator Zeb
Vance, a Hercules in stature, who
was devoted to Mr.. Lamar, without
the knowledge of that gentleman or
OF any other human being, shad-
owed Mr.. Lamar for some days, ex-
planning afterward that if Conkling
ever struck Lamar he intended to
i'm n
however, did not know what those
intimately acquainted with Mr.. La
mar knew. In all probability MIR.
Lamar could have whipped them
both. He prided himself upon his
muscle and has often said to the
writer, 81 believe am better fitted
for prize fighter than l am for
Senator" 1t was apprehended by
some that Conkling would challenge
Mr.. Lamar. Conkling was known
to be an expert with the short sword.
Mr.. Lamar said afterward to an in
innate friend in discussing the mat
ter, "If Mr.. Conkling had sent me
challenge, l should have chosen
short swords"
Why, Mr.. Lamar" replied his
friend, Conkling Is an expert with
the short sword"
g. know that" replied the Sena-
tor, "but took some lessons with
the short sword myself when l was
in Paris the time that / was sent by
the Confederacy on NJ mission to Rus
sia."
"Why, Senator" the friend re-
piled, "you have not had short
sword in your hand in 20 years."
:" know that" coOlly replied the |
Senator, "but l should have chosen
short swords"

The couple stopped near the cunning

A CHINAMAN, lately returned
from a trip to Europe, treated his
countrymen to the following de-
scription of the piano: "The
Europeans keep large four-legged
beast, which they can make to sing
at will. A man, or more frequently
a woman, or even a feeble girl, sits
down in front of the animal and
steps on its tail, while at the same
time striking its white teeth with
his or her fingers, when the Great.

though much louder than a birds, is
pleasant to listen to. The beast
does not bite nor does il move,
though it is not tied up"
