He Chung TO the Conveniences OF an Un-
frammeled Existence.
A well-dressed, middle-agcd man sat
at table in Grant avenue rotisserie
last evening industriouslv picking tho
bones OF a small bird. lie held a leg
In his fingers, and after he had stripped
the bone carelessly tossed 1t Off the
table on the floor. The other diners
sitting near were properly shocked,
and a surprised waiter picked up the
bone and carried IL out
The man seemed distracted and did
not observe that he had created n sen.
sation as he picked mp the other leg.
He nibbled at it, surveyed IL critically
and nibbled again till It was bare and
then tossed IL over his shoulder. IL
landed on the plate Of an elderly gem
tleman who was dining at the next
table.
"What in thunder" he ronred, and
two walters hurried TO remove the Of
Tending bone.
"Who did that?v he demanded i'm
dignantly.
This gentleman here. sir" whis-
pered the waiter, shaking his napkin
toward the man, who was calmly pick
ing another bone.
Look here. sir; do"
The elderly gentleman lodged the
breast bone as IL came flying over the
other mans shoulder
"IIerel Confound youl" shouted the
old man as he grabbed the other by the
shoulder DO you think I'm a dog?
What do You mean, sir2"
"Wha-wha-wha Is the matter?" he
stammered.

throwing your old bones over here on

Very strange TO me Il seems:
Not whisper passed between us
or the burden OF our dreams:
Not as lovers were our meetings.
Nor as lovers our good-bys.
Only boy and maiden were we.
Handsome In each others eyes.
Many years have come and vanished,
And our locks are thin and gray:
Still she plucks for me the wild flowers,
Fragrant with the breath OF May
More than maiden behold her,
With the sunset on. her brow
For as one OF Gods good angels
She is walking with me now.

The First Lesson Was Instructive. hut
Also Very Expensive.
The man who always has cure for
every III and remedy for every evil
showed one Of his strokes of genius the
other day. His wife's cat had acquired
n fondness for one of the bathtubs in
the house. OF course. this tub was in
the room next to the dressing room Of
the master of the house. OF course,
the master OF the house doesn't like
cats. Says the New York Tribune:
Fannie" he said, - found that cat
snoozing In my bathtub again to-day"
"Iin sorry, dear" she said. . have
tried to break her of that habit, but
don't seem TO succeed"
"Well. we must have the cat
drowned, he said, hercely.
His wife protested. mildly.
That Is the only annoying trick she
has" she said. 1T would be pity TO
kill her"
"Then, said the man of the house,
"lll take this thing into my own hands.
Now, III just explain TO you how III
do IL. You know how she gets into the
tub. She takes a run, leaps 20 the edge
and goes in, without stop. I'm going
to run about three inches of water into
tub, let IL stand there, and let her get
a sousing. You know how cat likes
water?" he added, significantly.
He put his plan in operation at once.
That afternoon pussie did her little
hurdle-race, as usual, over the side of
the bathtub. The plan worked to
perfection. There was a loud cry, a
streak of cat through the dressing-room,
and wet fash into the sewing-room.
Near the door of this room stood a
perch on which rested a dignihed par
rot.
The cat tried this hurdle. but missed
It, and the parrot, knocked to the floor,
added to tho force of the cyclone which
went raging around the house. A table
was knocked over, and n statue of the
Venus de Milo, already short of arms,
was made legless.
The adorcd baby of the house was
frightened into spasms, the parrot
scolded and screamed herself into a
fit, and aftcrward the dripping cat,
having made lightning tour OF the
house, was found, trembling and sub
dued, ON her mistress jacket, price
sixty-fve dollars.
II hope" said the lord Of the manor,
when he had surveyed the scene Of the
wreclxagc, "that this viii teach your
cat lesson"
II hope So" said his wife, soothing
the baby and looking at her jacket with
mournful eyes.
There is only one way to go about
such things" said the husband, with
satisfaction. II pride myself on being
able to handle animals" And his wife
discreetly said nothing.

AN EXCITING EPISODE.
MIR. Charles Du Bots and a Lady Have
| NnrrOw Escape From Death.

Mr. Charles Du Bots and Lady Have
Narrow Escape From Death.
An accident. which just missed having a
fatal termination, occurred at a late hour
Saturday evening on the railway bridge
over Rock creek, sixty feet above the sur
face of the stream. The accident was the
result of a collision between two car
riages, in each of which there were ladies,
but fortunately they all escaped without
serious injuries.
Mr.. Chas. F. Du Bots. a young man who
lives at 202S 10th street, was crossing the
bridge in light buggy. He was accom-
panied by a young lady who lives in
Mount Pleasant They we're driving west
and were on the right hand side of the
bridge, when their buggy was run into by
heavy trap. which was driven by lady.
Both vehicles were going in the same di-
rection, but the driver of the heavier one
did not make enough allowance, and q
collision resulted. The buggy was thrown
over and the two occupants We're dashed
TO the ground. The horse Mr.. Du Bots was
driving was young one and naturally
ran away. The young man chung to the
reins and was dragged the length of the
bridge in his efforts TO stop the madGeped
animal Seeing that his efforts were rse-
less he let go and returned to find that his
companion, although badly bruised aad
shaken up, was not seriously injured. Two
blcycllsts VINO were near the scene of the
accident stopped the runaway horse which
was badly cut and bruised. It would seem
almost miracle that the accident had no
worse results, for the occupants of the
buggy had very narrow escape from be-
ing thrown over the railing of the bridge
into the ravine below.

to write risks on horses. Kramer is a
