 "I don't see why we can't go to the opera like other people," pouted Mrs. Lambkin, as she and her spouse were walking home together. I've could, I'm sure, if you didn't look upon Wag- ner as mortal enemy"

 "No doubt. Her husband is so gen. erous to her. Why, she tells me that they were at the opera last evening and expect to go again tomorrow"
 "Indeed. An, by the way, didn't you tell me that you thought Dick Norocks and Miss Fife had quarreled?"
 "Very likely. I notice that Dick is particularly touchy whenever grand opera is in town"
 "Ah, indeed. By the way, how should you like to call at your mothers this evening?'
 "Very much, if anybody was likely to be at home. But of course they will all go to the opera"
 "Um-ah! I've just remembered that this is church evening. Suppose we go. We haven't been to evening church since we were first married"
 Impossible, George. I should be ashamed to have anyone know that I was well enough to be out after night and not at the opera. People would be sure to say that you are stingy and l would rather die than cause such re- marks"
 Fact is, Eudora, Pm as anxious as you are to go to the opera, but money is too tight. had to make payment to-day and I doubt if have dollar in my pocket. Never mind, we can have a nice long evening at home alone, can't we?'
 "Humph! we are sure to be alone, for every living soul we know will be at the opera"
 "All the better, my dear. Just step in here with me a moment, will you? l have no cigars and l don't want to have to go out for anything tonight. You see, don't keep many cigars on hand now that money is so scarce"
 They went into the store and Mir. Lambkin selected his cigars while his wife stood by. He felt anxiously in his pockets for small change and find ing none took a bill out of his note- book and, glancing warily at Mrs. Lamblkin, handed it, all crumpled up, to the clerk. After all that, it did seem the irony of fate which made that individual call out Tn stentorian tones to the cashier: Twenty-Five from twenty, please"
 And Mrs Lambkin was still talking about it when they reached home.- Chicago Times Herald.

BIG ADVANCE IN SHOES.
Prices on All Grades Are Soaring Rapidly
 Harness Will Go Up, Too.


 KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 0.-The peo- pie of the United States will soon look upon boots and shoes as luxuries, for the prices of hides and leather have shot skyward, and with them have gone the prices of footwear, especially of the cheaper grades. The man with the wooden leg will soon be in a position to congratulate himself. The price of harness has gone up with the price of shoes, and its upward whirl will have a tendency to cause people to pause awhile before buying new sets of harness merely be- cause they look better than old ones.
 Prices on leather have gone up 50 tc 75 per cent Shoes that once cost S3 will now cost 8. 7J, and those that cost S4 will be marked at $5, if shoe deal. ers' words are to be taken. It is claimed by many that the United States Leather Co.,, of Boston, with a capital of Sl2o, 900. 900, is responsible for the advance in price. It is claimed by others that the trouble is the scarcity of hides. There is no doubt that the latter has something to do with the case, for in the four cities of Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha and St. Louis the receipts of cattle for the first four months of 1895 were 325, ,OOO less than during the same time in 1894.
