A slippery Customer.

n slippery tuhtOlutEs tW58
He that walketh abroad eating bananas
and throweth the skins thereof upon the
sidewalk to catch the feet OF the unwary
is either an abandoned knave or hope
less idiot and should be made to slip quiet
ly into prison or charitable institution
for imbeciles.
There is nothing quite so treacherous as
banana skin and even the wicked, who
are supposed to be able to stand In slip
perry places, can not feign successfully to
be upright while travelling over fiendish
piece of peeling that has taken on an ex-
terror dressing of dirt. The fine view OF
the whole solar system with which the
victim is favored after striking the back
OF his head smartly on the concrete, hard
ly compensates In his opinion for his loss
OF position, and he usually rises filed
with an unutterable longing to wiring the
banana-eater neck until it should re-
semble corkscrew.
The most amiable OF individuals is sud-
denly transformed into bloodthirsty
monster when through this same invid-
ious agent his Trilby-like appendages are
made to rise up and stare him in the face
while he lies ON his back for minute
struggling with the notion that he has for
some unknown reason been trying to
kick himself in the head.
Banana skins are said to be excellent for
cleaning the uppers Of russell shoes but,
like many other things diverted from
their true use, they are dangerous to the
sole.
Let the lover OF this fruit then carefully
treasure up the skins to polish his travel
worn russets that q grateful public may
cry with fervor and with truth, "How
beautiful are the feet Of him who eateth
his banana and saveth the skiLI"

Musicale.
The third musicale OF the season was
given Friday evening in the Cong'l
church, which was comfortably filled
with an attentive audience.
The special feature OF the occasion
was the pipe organ solos by Mr.. James
Burton Atwood, organist OF Christ
church, Hyde Park, Mass, who has been
spending short vacation with his sister,
In Jaw, Mrs. Lyman Atwood. He evoked
the sweetest strains from the organ much
to the delight OF the appreciative listen
ers, who requested the repetition OF one
selection in particular.
The violin playing Of Miss Eunice Dem
ison and 'sthe brea' hing flutes soft notes"
produced by Mr.. Willis T. Sparhawk, also
received deserved applause from the low
ers of good music who were present in
force. The flute solo and the second trio,
with flute, violin and piano, both OF
which were down on the program, were
necessarily omitted, much to the general
regret, on account OF the low pitch OF the
piano. The Kalophon quartette, consist
ing OF Miss Blanche Sparhawk, Mrs. T.
j. Adams, Miss Inez Abbott and Miss
Harriet Smith, sang several selections
very finely and contributed much to the
success OF the entertainment. The piano
duets by Misses Marion Mcintyre and lisa
Lamson and Misses Bessie and Alice
Woodward were skillfully executed.
Miss Mary Carr Tewksbuly gave two
readings and succeeded in pleasing her
hearers, while the veteran male quartette
sang love song in a reminiscent manner
which showed that they had once been
young.
The receipts from the musicale amount
ed to about SIS.

ns Ensiiah NoveIist,s Queer Antics In .
Massachusetts Town.
Dr.. Doyle, the story runs, was engag.
Cd to lecture in Morristown under the
auspices Of st. Bartholomew school.
and the 25 boys of tho school were in q
culver OF excitement at the prospect Of
seeing and meeting the creator Of Sher.
lock Holmes. The head master, tho
Rev. F. e. Edwards, with the most
h~ospitable intentions, invited DR.. Doyle
to dinner before the lecture, inviting
also at the same time Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Stockton, great friends Of the
clergyman. DR.. Doyle declined the in
vitation, to the great regret indeed Of
the host, the two guests and four or five
boys that had been specially favored by
being asked to meet the big author. At
the dinner hour. however, to the sur.
prise Of Mr.. Edwards, he received q
telephone message from DR.. Doyle at
the station, announcing: 'I'm here
What shall I dol"
why, we didn't expect you, but do
come right Over. We just sat down to
dinner"
Swinging along, the Englishman soon
appeared, but despite diplomatic coax.
ing could not be prevailed upon to enter
the dining room. He wouldn't, he said,
meet any one. No!
Although assured that only Mr.. and
Mrs. Stockton and four boys were pres.
ent, that the dinner was very informal.
he still remained obdurate.
Cant I eat my dinner alone?' he
asked bluntly. .
So he ate his dinner alone, devouring
several plates Of roast beef and frequent
relays Of vegetables with lightning ra-
pidity. Unknown to any one in the
house, the brawny Enelishman soon fed
and was next seen in the lecture hall Of
the school. A large audience was pres.
ent, and every courtesy was extended to
him.
After the lecture, with insulting
haste, DR.. Doyle pocketed the $500 fee
and fastened to the train. The only
person, in fact, that met the distinguish
ed British author was Mr.. Stockton,
and as the author of ''Rudder Grange"
introduced the lecturer the latter
couldn't very we'll avoid meeting him.
But the IS boys were sadly disappointed
at not shaking hands with the hero Of
their imaginings. The whole proceed.
ing of the talented author was, in fact,
90 foreign to what has been reported Of
him by men and papers that Morris.
towns Four Hundred are wondering
whether DR.. Doyle could possibly have
thought the town a jay place, and that
he therefore dreaded meeting buoolic
enthusiasts. Boston Beacon.

Deadwood Times, Is: Pref. Frank
Smith, professor Of geology and mineral
ogy lof the state school of mines, is
spending a few days in this city, the
guest of Jud Grant. Prof. Smith started
out on May 9th to make a thorough geo.
logical survey Of the Black Hills. He
was accompanied at the start by Prof.
Todd, the state geologist, :who was out
but a week and returned to the eastern
part OF the state. Prof. Smith has been
accompanied by several Of the school OF
mines students. They have collected
some very rare and valuable specimens
OF mineral, and also have made quite a
collection Of fossils. Prof. Smith may
continue his work until about the mid
die OF July, when he will have covered
b ground thoroughly. This is the only
geological survey that has ever been
made OF the Black Hills since the one
Prof. Jenney made in the early days, and
1t will be invaluable to the public, and
chiefly to the p%rospectors and miners.
