Cleveland i'm skirts.

Some days ago prominent Chi
cago lady in public address advo-
Gated the wearing of skirts by men.
She declared that this apparel
would be more comfortable and
that the men would appear more
graceful. Grover Cleveland would
be a sweet picture in petticoats. In
a sealskin he would be a daisy;
and if hoops should happen again
to become fashionable, the pres
ident's appearance would suggest
a beautiful cross between a rhi-
nocerous and an elephant.

GETTING A LIGHT,
Peep Into n Phase of Human Nature That
Is Known Only to Men Who smoke.

Peep Into n Phase of Human Nature That
Is Known Only to Men Who smoke.
Both We're standing on the corner of
Washington and Illinois streets the
other afternoon waiting for a ear, and
as one asked the other for a light this
naturally started a little squirt of con-
v~ersation between them. They were
total strangers, but this never makes
any difference with men who are habit
ual smokers. Let one man hand an
other a match or a cigar for the other
to grind away at while trying to con-
tract some combustion and there
passes between them some subtitle,
magnetic current of affinity which
makes them draw almost as closely to-
gether as do their cigars when the fire
is being transferred.
OF the two the fat mar appeared
happy and contented, while the thin
man looked ~dyspeptic and thoughtful.
The former was trying to absorb some
fire from the l~atter's cigar and for d
moment they stood m~otionless and in
e upon the struggle for a light.
The fat man jabbed the borrowed
cigar into the end of his cheroot,
twisted 1t around, pushed. mumbled,
pulled and drew with his checks oscil-
lating out and in like a bellows, took
his cigar out of his mouth and looked
at it, stuck it back, surveyed the
jagged and broken end of the thin
mans cigar a moment, to see if he had
put it out, too, and then showed it at
him.
Better smoke up a little"
The thin man put his battered cigar
into his face and began vigorously
drawing to renew the spark of life that
had been all but extinguished. Having
coaxed his weed back to life, he placed
it again in the hand of the corpulent
gentleman.
The twisting, grinding process was
renewed, and as the walls of the thin
mans cigar began to crumble a feeble
puff of smoke burst from the fat mans
mouth.
Guess you've got it, exclaimed the
thin man, excitedly and in tones of tri-
umph.
But the puffs didn't become any
larger and as the thin mans cigar had
now been worn down to a charred,
shaggy stump the fat man was about
to give it up and throw both cigars
away, when suddenly his cigar re-
forth from his mustache.
'.A-a-ah." exclaimed both in tones of
profound relief. and as the thin man
revived the smoldering embers IN the
remains of his own fine cigar, which he
had just lighted before the fat man
came up, the two surveyed each other
complacently. Both were now smok-
ing contentedly.
Nice day" remarked the fat man.
Yes, fine day" responded the thin
man.
Little too cold, though" continued
the fat man. sagely.
IT'S a little cold, assented the thin
man.
SUNS pretty hot, too" added the fat
man, in qualifying tones.
Yes, that's so: l noticed that my
self" echoed the thin man.
Well. there's my car at last" said
the fat man. Il must hurry. Glad l
met YOU"
Nice fellow. that" murmured the
fat man. as he stepped on the car.
Seems to be unusually Intelligent
good talker.'
Nice fellow" thought the thin man,
as he threw away the extinguished
wreck of his cigar and leaned against a
telegraph pole. indianapolis Sentinel

When the bills for the second month

When the bills for the second month
came in her heart failed. She had made
thirty dollars furnish the table nicely.
Now instead of sixty dollars for the
two months. the bill was one hundred
dollars. She was almost discouraged.
Fred had not been promoted at Christ
mas time as she expected. and his re-
port for both months was very low.
Edna had given up practicing, because
she was 50 tired of her old pieces and
had no One to urge her. Mr.. Benton
did not like to have the lessons going
on at night. They had tried hat and
he said:
Il may be selfish. Katie, but I need
your society evenings"
The third month was fast drawing to
a close when the housekeeper an
nounced:
My sister in Michigan is dead. and I
guess I'll have 10 90 look after the fami-
ly. There's six children and the big
gest only twelve. want to 90 to the
funeral"
What was to be done? There was no
time to fill her place. Fred, seeing his
mother distressed look, plunged his
hands into his pockets to aid him in
forming some plan of help. They
touched something. He drew out a
letter.
Mamma" he said, shamefacedly.
there is a letter l got from the post
man Saturday"
This vas Thursday! Mrs. Benton
read it and burst into tears.
Ny girlhOod's dearest friend is COM
ing from California. On her way to
New York she will stop here, and if it
is convenient visit me for a week or
two. She will be here next week
Saturday. What shall l do?'
stay at home and visit with her,
Katie, you need a rest"
Her husband turned her gently
toward the mirror in a folding bed, on
which she had made the last vment
that day. She was startled at the wan
face She saw reflected. Then she told
him the whole story of her cares. be-
ginning with jules letter. After she
had finished they made an inventory to
