LOVERS HELD UP BY GIRLS.
Dressed I'm Their Brothers Cloth,
rEhRx Wer.. DIsoufsod


They Were Disguised.
From the New York Recorder.
Two young women Of Hampstead, LII,
put their sweethearts to a grim test on
Monday night. William Cornelius and Ed
ward Nanderwater. sons of village officers
and their best girls are the central figures
in the case.
The young men We're on their way to see
the girls about o'clock The streets were
very dark, as the lights were out When
Cornelius and Nanderwater reached Front
street. near Bell, they saw the figures Of
what they believed Were two men crouching
behind a tree. While debating the ad-
visibility of chs sing the men away two re-
Viewers were suddenly pointed at them, and
they were commanded to throw their hands
up, which they imme diately did. The own
erS CT the r1SolverS then jumped from be-
hind the trees and stood face to face with
their frightened SWANS. The figures We're
those of Miss Sarah Dugan and Miss jose
prime Beekman, who had donned their
brothe. s. clothes.
When the cry Of "Haltr' and Hands
up!" was given, Cornelius fell on his knees
and. a once produced his watch and money,
at the same time begging for mercy. After
relieving them OF their Ta!uables the fair
hghv aymen told their victims to move
eastward. Both were frightened nearly 10
death, and ran as fast as their legs could
carry them When they reached home they
were nearly exhausted.
After a consultation it was decided to
keep the matter quiet. While the young
men We're discussing the adventure the
young women, in their proper garments,
n ct them and upbraided them for not max
ing their promised call. Cornelius and VAN
dcrwater made all sorts of excuses for not
keeping the appointment. The girls pre-
tended to be very much offended.
Finally Miss Beekman asked Cornelius
what time it was. He said his watch was
Icing repaired. After various excuses for
the absence of his timepiece, Miss Beck
man handed the astonished young man mis-
vauGhles and told him that he had better
play the part of a man the next time he
was held up.
The girls said last evening that it was all
n joke, and that they had donned male at
tire and held the young men up to test
their courage. Cornelius and Vanderwaler
had frequently boosted of what they would
do If anybody attempted to hold them up.
Their boasts of bravery will not be heard
again. Both girls are very pretty and pop
ular among their associates.

Engraving md Printing.

In another chapter in regard to the work
of the bureau Of engraving and printing
the Secretary says:
THE most pressing need of this bureau al
present is an outbuiding which will ac-
commodate certain branches of it's work
now performed in temporary wooden sheds
well certain processes now carried
on in the main building, which could be
transferred thereto, without lessening the
guarantee of security in the preparation OF
the notes. etc. Estimates of the cost of such
a building have been submitted from time
to time to Congress, and will be again sub.
mitted at the present session. 1 earnestly
urge upon Congress the appropriation of the
necessary money for this work"

A great Mexican physician says that the
tendency of the climate is to make men
poets and schemers, which comes to the
same thing. He attributes the recent out
break of poetry here to the exceptionally
warm and agreeable weather, and predicts
a harvest OF lyrics, sonnets and even epic
poems before spring.

THE PARROT SHOUTED "HuRRAH."
But Got Disguised at Last and Plainly
Showed 1t.

There is one member of congress
whose wife owns IN intelligent parrot,
which she brought from Mexico and
whose talking talents she has developed
with great a%ssiduity and no little sue
cess. says the Washington Post. Of
course Jones-that's not his name and
the nom de guerre stands merely for
convenience sake us the true name of
the congressman referred to-Jones
was a candidate for reelection in No
vember, and. foreseeing his triumphant
vindication at the polls, the affectionate
Mrs. Jones specially trained her parrot
to shout "Hurrah!" till the windows rat
tied whenever Jones' name was mem
toned in his presence.
On the evening Of the election she
arranged to have the bird hung in the
| reception room, where her husband
was going to receive his friends and
also the returns. With fond expectancy
she looked for the news to come that
her husband had been elected by q
stunning majority and the parrot shout
ing in the wild frenzy of hls 6oundless
glee: "Hurrah for Jones!'
Alas. that the best laid plans of men
anu lHiCC gang aLt aSieC!
When the fateful moment came a dis
tressed messenger, with flushed face
and disheveled hair, burst into the sit
ting room with the announcement:
"You're beaten, Jones!"
1t was the parrots cue and he hadn't
forgotten his careful training.
"Hurrah for Jones!" shouted the green
imp on his perch and everybody in the
room stood aghast at tho auducity OF
the biped.
Mrs. Jones was the first to show q
sign of animation and it manifested it
self in a volcanic eruption of temper
directed against that cute and innocent
Mexican parrot, which effectually put
a quietus on his cxh;laratfon. The poor
bird covered in the corne III half an
hour the tide had changed.
You're elected, Jones!" shouted the
last messenger.
shout. Polly, shout!" cried Mrs
Jones, in a transport of delight.
The bird looked at her sideways, witt
a look of disgust.
ooh, - Jones!" he muttered, turn
ing his back to her.

A PRAYER in rhcssaly

a lover prayed to Eros in this wise:
Since my love loves me not, Eros, l
pray
THAT thou wilt take this torturlng love
away.
But since she is SO fair. still let mine
Unloving, joy in her, her beauty prize:
soil let her voice ring out as pure and
TO my calm heart as mating birds in
May"
These words went up the blue Thessalian
But e'er they reached the high gods
golden seat,
The lover to retract his prayer was fain.
NAY let me keep the bitter with the
sweet;
Better than placid bliss is loves dear
pain.
My love I'll hold and cherish, though it
prove
More blighting thar the frown!ng brows
of Joye,"

Carefully following his instructions. he
consulted the third volume of Gibbons
great History, and found, between the
seventy-cighth aud seventy-pinth pages,
