POINTS ABOUT PILGRIMS.

Messrs. J. Herndon Hyde and'EonuAd
WetmOrc, New York lawyers, are now reg
istered at the Arlington. Last night, as
they sat smoking fragrant Havanas in the
lobby, they began TO tell stories and soon
everybody in the neighborhood joined in
the crowd surrounding these genial legal
lights. Here is one told by SIr Hyde,
which his brother lawyer made applicable
TO the present political outlook
TWO frogs from Boston and Chicago, re-
speetiveIy, had the misfortune to fall
into TWO pals of milk. The frog who
hailed from the classic shades OF Boston
no sooner drew into his digestive organs
a liberal supply Of fresh country fluid
than he cToaked in piteous tones;
"Oh, dear, l greatly fear that / shall
perish"
Whereupon the Chicago animal, with
a mighty cry, yelled; Hustle, hustle,
hUstle!'
Again in feeble tones from the Boston
frogs hahitation arose, "Oh, dear, I
greatly fear that l shall perish whle
his Chicago brother still cried TO him TO
hustle.
Iuthe morning the dairy man drew pear.
In one pail little drowned Boston frogs

fully churued cake of butter was in the
Mr.. WitmoTe observed that the Boston
frog was to represent the Democratic
party while the Republican party would be
found sitting on a rich roll OF butter aftes
the next election.
did you ever hear Of a man worth
half million losing a cool thousand because
he couldn't raise a niekle?''
John B. Kelley was talking at the Shore
ham.
1T happened this way. Ny friend, who
is Wall Street broker, was holding quite
a quantity OF certain roads stock and
he received a quiet UP that IL would take
a permanent tumble pretty soon. He i'm
mediately left his country home and made
for the exchange.
He put down a nickel for a ticket at the
elevated roads ticket office, and 10 his
Gismay he found it to be all OF the money
he had in his pocket.
while going through his pockets, a
fellow who was in a hurry seized the coin
my friend had laid down with his own
change and darted away and boarded
car just moving off. The unfortunate
broker tried to follow, but the gate-keeper
wouldn't let him go through without q
ticket. He swore an dthreatened, but TO
no avail, and finally was put out by a pO-
lice officer. He walked down and arrived
tired and worn out at the eNchan ge To find
that the stock in the last half hour had
gone down sO far that the road had prac-
tically busted, and he was several thousand
dollars out by not having the price Of Q
street car fare in his pocket"
The most remarkable coincidence in my
life began DR.. L. A Baker at the ROyale,
last evening, was in connection with q
trip to Europe. When / graduated at cob
lege, among my classmates was young
fellow with whom l was particularly in
innate. He agreed that we should take
tramp through the continent after we
had been praCticing a few years, and that
he would let me know when he had made
money enough. Five years passed and We
lost track of each other.
Last SummerI decided to 90 withOuthim.
I took the steamer for Southampton, and
from there went TO Paris, where / stayed
two weeks before going on an extensive
tour over the country. One day while
passing through that strangely interesting
section OF the gay capital, the Latin quarter,
l came face To face with my college friend.
I've exchanged experiences. He had left
New York on the same day as I had, but
by different line. We stopped at hotels
directly opposite each other In London
Both left for Paris on the same day, and he
was residing around the corner from me
in Paris. We took in the town and the con-
tinent together. Well, two years ago / was
lay at the point of death, and / afterwards
learned that at the same time my Irlend
had met his death in a railway accident.
We seemed to be linked together by some
fatality which was broken by his DEATH"
Thomas 5. Staples, Of Minneapolis, now
at Wizards Hotel, tells the following
story of a gentleman who was completely
cured Of his prediction to drink by q
remarkable occurrence.
After a prolonged Jag he awOke one
morning with a head as big as a barrel.
on awakening his eyes met a SPIDERS nest
in which was a many colored fly in the
grasp of huge insect. Some what startled
he turued aud saw hanging from the chan
deier a snake, from whose red mouth pro-
truded a poisonous fang.
1T may be ina giued that they had some
effect on a man in weak, nervous con-
dition, aud his distorted imagina tioA
multiplied them aud rendered them thou
sand times more hideous aud repulSive.
In horror he screamed out, started up, and
ran for the window. He shrdnS back,

He fell in a fit and for severa! weeks lay
in a deliriOus condition.
From his rawlings his wife gathered what
had fri ghtened him. She quietly re-
moved the snake aud spider decorations,
which she had put up in the room The
monkey affair was explained by the neigh
bors, who told her of an organ grinders
