WOMEN ARE QUEER CREATURES

WOMEN ARE QUEER CREATURES.
They had evidently began the CONVEX
sation before they came into the restau-
rant and they continued it after the
waiter had taken their order.
'Yes," said the prettiest one, women
are queer creatures, though l would per-
ish at the stake before I'd acknowledge
II. to my husband. Really. though, I
do think Marie is the Queerest of the
lot. For instance, she and Louise have
not spoken, much less visited each other.
for year-well, one day last week I
called on Marie and found her drawing
room all torn up, as if she was house
cleaning, in spite Of the fact that it was
her day at home, though, to be sure, not
apail or a broom was to be seen. Now,
what do you think Marie told me when
she came DOWN."
"Give it up" said the girl, who was
solacing herself with the bread, butter
and pickles, while she waited, "but, as
It was Marie, am sure it was something
purely original"
"She said that she had never been
able to fully enjoy her lovely Persian
rugs and bric-a-brac because she could
MT display them to Louise-well, she
discovered that Louise was spending the
day across the street, SO she just tore
up everything, as if she were house.
cleaning, hung the rugs out Of the win
dows, piled the bric-a-brac on the tables
In full view, and sat down to enjoy the
hrst real peaceful day for year"
."And Louise?"
ooh, as I went out I saw that one Of
the drawing room shades across the way
was pulled all the way down, and one
didn't need to be a clairvoyant to know
that Louise with her lorgnette was be-
hind IT.
"Of course Speaking of queer things,
Effle is engaged to be married and l
made her tell how she managed 1t; l
know that man hadn't sense enough to
do it of his own accord. She just wrote
Mollie letter telling her all about Stan
ley and how much she loved him, but
that she knew he did not care for her,
so she was resolved to die an old maid.
Then she wrote Stanley a note, asking
about book-that's how she did it."
s9tI suppose I'm very stupid, but do
not understand"
"Why, she just made mistake, and
enclosed Mollie's letter to Stanley, and
his note to her. OF course, Mollie thought
It a simple accident, and he-oh, he just
fell right into the trap-that's all"
Zone for Effie, at any rate; now sup
pose we shall all be obliged to ruin our
selves buying her presents, since, as he
is so wealthy, they must be handsome
ones,' grumbled the girl who had seem
ed absorbed in the bill Of fare. But
can tell you something funny, too; see
| those two girls just going out? Well
heard the tall one whisper to the girl
| at the table just ahead Of her: L made
| Nanette come to lunch with me today
because wanted to study her new hat
I've mastered those lovely bows and
saved dollar by it. "A dollar, how?
asked the girl. oh, her lunch cost me
| 50 cents, she's dieting for her complex
ion, you know, and any milliner would
have charged, me 81 so to trim nay hat
like hers What do lou think Of that
II think she mean, stingy
thing!" cried the o<h4rs in a breath, and
they all began to look suspiciously al
| each other.

PREFERRED TO KISS THE GIRL

PREFERRED TO KISS THE GIRL.
A Chicago mining engineer grew con-
fidential as he was talking with a
party Of friends in his club one day last
week. He estimates the expense Of his
chattering at several hundred dollars
already, and the account is growing.
II was down in Ration, N. NJ. about 10
years ago." he said, :" and the first
thing did after had secured my room
in the excellent hotel at the station was
to go down and see an old acquaintance
of mine who had come UP from the mines
and opened combination liquor saloon
gambling house and dance hall. We
talked over old times until it was about
time for DINNER, and started back for
the hotel.
II had gotten in plain view OF the
crowd sitting out on the broad veranda
waiting for the dinner bell to ring when
I became conscious of the approach Of
a little blonde, weazenfaced cowboy es-
corting a stout. bleary-looking woman.

his joys and sorrows. 'Smy wife. Pretty,

Without any more conversation he
changed the subject with startling alb

Such Il Life.

Yesterday lady in a Broadway cable
car addressed me, and everybody listened
and was amused. She was young and
pretty and well dressed. As we rolled
down Union square a cab passed the car.
My neighbor craned her neck, and point
ing her finger at the cab remarked 10
me, That's Judge Hilton in that cab. -"
Every n in the car looked at the occu-
pant Of the cab. Then she took me into
her confidence and retailed such facts
about the judge as have been printed
from time to time in the papers.
AS the car tore around the Broadway
curve her attention was diverted, and
she hadn't done scolding about the speed
and the curves when we passed a Broad
way shop window on which was an
nounced in white enamel letters, "Col-
lars and Cuffs Laundried." IF they
don't correct that misspelled word
soon, she exclaimed, Il shall scream -
Everybody turned and looked at the
freak in photography. Then a man who
was watching the woman from the rear
platform came in and tapped her ON the
shoulder, and she arose and followed
him. As she passed out the men opposite
smiled, and one said to his companion,
Crazy as a LOOM" But how could they
tell? All she said was true. New Yorl

After the state officers had told their
official dealings and relations with ex
State Treasurer Taylor previous to his
looting the treasury, in the hearing now
going on at Pierre against the bondsmen,
the defendants moved to strike out ex-
hibit A, Taylor's bond, and all evidence
in relation thereto, as it was not proper
evidence. Defendants signed it upon a
condition on the part Of the college,
which was never fulfilled, and the state
was at fault under section 1883, requir-
ing an officer entering upon a second
term to make an accounting which was
never done. Court denied the motion.
Defense then moved that the court
direct a verdict for defense on the
ground that no evidence has been pre-
sented showing that w. w. Taylor had
ever received or disbursed any moneys
for the state, and further that the ev!-
dence shows that the. defalcation &C.
CURED during the first term. Denied.
Adjourned to Friday morning. The
state case has been to show the amount
on hand at the beginning of each OF Tay-
lor's terms of office. The defense will
attempt to prove that the defalcation
was during the first term and that the
cash had been dishursed on illegal fund
iog warrants.
