There may be meaner individuals than
those who purposely exchanges worn out
overshoes for the newest pair they can
find in the collection at church sociable or
public assemblage. During legislative
session, where protective footwear is
mingled in COMMISSIONS in the coat rooms
many embarrassing exchanges occur
wholly without intention, but occasionally
one occurs with malice afore thought. To
the credit of the members it should be
said that it is some outsider who comes
there for the purpose of sneaking away with
a better pair than he wore when he came.
One of this class of sneak thieves got into
trouble at Belfast few evenings since and
it may afford pleasure to those who have
suffered at such hands to learn how he re-
ceived his just desserts. He had left an old
pair, worn clean through in places, for a
new pair The next day the owner of that
new pair appeared to the thief on the street
and told him to take of those galoshes or
fight He accepted the latter alternative
It seems that he had left a part of an old
envelope bearing his name in his dis
carded oyershOes.

Hall Caine said in Philadelphia that 1t

spoon had to suffice for several guests.
The late Gustav Freytag, in his will,
provides that all letters in his possession
be returned to the writer's. In life he used
to declaim the practice of publishing

he had not authorized the publication.
Ex-Governor Shepherd. who is visiting
Washington after a long absence in Eu-
rope, says that so per cent. of the persons
he saw at work in the fields of the con-
tinental countries last summer were wo-
men. The absence of men, he adds, was
due to their. compulsory service in the
armies.
1t Is not generally known, but II is a
fact, that nearly a half century ago John
Wanamaker, the Philadelphia millionaire
merchant was a resident of Fulton coun-
ty, Indiana, living on a farm near Akron,

Lillian Russells last husband, Signor

tinuous performance" This engagement,
following the appearance of w. T. Carl
ton, Richard Golden, Lily Post, the
Black Patti, Marion Manoia and other
persons of distinction in the music halls
in New York, is significant of the impor-
tance that vaudeville is assuming as an
amusement factor.
A prominent member of the firm of
Rothschild, upon entering one of his Lon

member whose name he had for the mo-
ment forgotten. After a time the two
proceeded to the billiard room to have a
game together. and, in order to give some
interest to 1t, they agreed to play for a
shilling. For over half an hour the two
played carefully, the advantage never be-
ing considerably in favor of either. How
ever. IL s1.000 had depended upon the re-
suit neither of them could have been more
absorbed in the game than they were.
After II was over and the other player
had left the room the member of the
firm of Rothschild inquired the name of
his antagonist. He had been playing with
William X. Vanderbilt.

Any piano player will be able to man

Missoula, Dec 15.-Jule Hartley
walks lame these days and there IL q
good story connected with his limp. 1t
was the result of a dream. For years
Fat Hartley has climbed mountains
and waded streams in pursuit of game
and has never been injured. but that
dream fixed him. The way the dream
wrought his ruin was this:
Preceding the performance of 'Tril-
by" the bill boards, blank walls and
fences of this city were covered with
the shows paper. and wherever a man
went, the awful face Of Svengali stared
at him with it's fiendish eyes. julie is
an observing fellow, and the 2lctare
made a deep impression upon him. So
strong was this impression that one
night he dreamed of the hideous fasci-
nator of Trilby. In his dream he saw
the old villain leading the beautiful
girl to her ruin. He didn't know the
girl, but he made up his mind to have
one swipe at Svengali just for luck.
So-all this in his dream-he crept eau
tiously after the pair. He finally got
within range and kicked at the old
reprobate with all his strength. He
doesn't know whether he hit him or not
for the awful force with which his toe
struck the footboard disturbed his
dream and rudely aroused him. One of
his toes was nearly broken.
That is why he walks with limp.
He said to-day, in telling a reporter his
troubles, that he wouldn't mind the
lameness IL he "only knew that he hit
the old son of a gun" But to have a
game foot and be left in such uncer-
tainty is too much. 80.

A NUISANCE OF THE SEASON

The garden rubbish and the leaves that
litter up the place
Must be disposed of somehow, for they're
really a disgrace.
And so. when autumn's well along. and
grass and plants are dead,
Our neighbor goes to cleaning up. and
that is what we dread.
We have our rubbish carted OFF, really
don't know where
But Neighbor Brown allows he has no
dollar-bill to spare;
He and his man go at the stun with
shovels. brooms and rakes.
And then he has a bonfire. and a dread
full smudge II makes.
He builds IL in his yard, behind our barn,
and then, of course,
The smoke and blaze are sure to frighten
Billy-that's our horse.
The wind blows steadily our way. and all
the sparks that fly
Head for our roof. which worries us-our
shingles are so dry.
OF course. our Willie likes the fire; he
helps to feed IL. too;
And when he comes to supper. both his
shoes are quite burned through;
His eyes are smarting, and his face ap-
pears in sooty streaks
Where he has rubbed the tears he shed
across his blackened cheeks.
The cat contrives to get its share of all
the smudge and smoke,
Then. when the baby plays with 1t. 1t
makes him cough and choke;
In every room. from garret down, the
horrid smudge we smell:
We taste II in the mullins. and we drink
IL from the well.
I'd like TO be the weather clerk the day
Brown has his fire:
ia order up a shifty wind, of which I
think he'd tire:
He'd get IL started toward our house;
but once twas buring. sayl
You bet the smudge and smoke and
sparks'fo once would go his way.
Frank Roe Batchelder.
