The Drunkard's Dog.

The New York Times reports that
Policeman Logan, of that city, saw a man
lying intoxicated on the pavement, and
went toward him, meaning to wake
him. AS he drew near, however, he
saw brindle bulldog beside the Sleep
er, and as the policeman leaned forward
to shake the man, the dog growled and
showed his teeth. Logan stepped back
for fear Of being bitten. The drunk
ards name was Collins.
"Hey, therev' said Logan. Collins
woke up.
"Tell your dog to let me arrest YOU"
Collins struggled to his feet, and said
to the dog: "Come on, Bully, we're
rested"
The dog ''heeled" obediently, and the
policeman took them to the Thirtieth
Street Station-house. There was no
reason why the pup should be locked
up but it was plain that he intended to
stick to his drunken master as long as
he could, and he was allowed to occupy
the cell in which Collins spent the night.
+ The dog accompanied Collins when
Logan took him down to Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, and was close to him
when Justice Hogan asked:
"Well, sir, what have you to say for
yourself?'

Inns to the pup; and the pup jumped up
on the bridge, where the justice could
see him, sat up, held up his fore paws,
and whined.
Everybody in court was watching
him.
"Are we sorry?' Collins asked him.
The pup whined loudly and more for
lornly than before. He looked as If he
would cry in another minute.

No increased Tax on Beer,

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 17.-Concern-
ing a story published today to the effect
that Secretary Carlisle will recommend
an increase of the tax on beer as

He was about to mention James name,
when Major Larron, whose ill-humor had
increased by the adjutant's evident re-
luctance to share his tent, pulled out his
watch.
1t was nearly twelve o'clock when Col
onel Prinsep entered the mess-room Of
the til Foot
He had dined rather late, having ling
cred over his letter-writter longer than he
had intended, and then had stayed some
time smoking and thinking-not of Jane.
The provocation removed, she haunted
his thoughts no more, and therefore he
was the more surprised when the first
familiar face that met his view was that
of the quartermaster's daughter.
And yet, often as he had pictured it to
himself, it scarcely seemed familiar now.
The face that had dropped and flushed be-
meath his gaze that afternoon when he
saw it last, full of shy warmth and child
like worship, was radiant now, and bright
with saucy triumph. If he had thought
her sweet and pretty then in her blue cot
ton gown, how doubly fair he admitted
her to be now, in her soft draperies of
gauzy white; with straw colored ribbons
futtering here and there, and knot Of
pale tea-roses at her breast. Then there
had been something of pity and conde-
| cension in the admiration with which he
regarded her; now they met as equals.
AT that moment she caught sight of
| him. A glad light leaped into her eyes,
but she did not flush or falter in her
| speech, as she would have done a week
before. She knew her power now, and
| felt natural womanly pleasure that he
| should see her thus, the center of an adj
| miring group, the acknowledged beauty
of the ball.
"You have become quite a woman of
| the world since l saw you last" he said,
his voice unconsciously falling into that
| caressing undertone that SO many wo-
men have found dangerously sweet.
"What long time it seemsv' sighed

Who Was Jennie?

One of the most grewsome attractions
of the metropolis TO the average coun-
try visitor is the morgue.
One could scarcely call it a bridal
attraction, yet it is sometimes visited by
newly wed couples. Last week fresh
ly mated pair entered the gray old hall
that always smells of bichloride of lime
and walked into that large and ghostly
room where the unknown sleepers lie.
The silence, the damp and spectral
gloom and the drip of the quiet water
over the dead had an overpowering ef-
feet on the young woman. She began
to cry Historically.
"Oh, john" she walled, II feel as
though had one foot through the gates
of death"
Her better-half evidently felt the same
way, but he said Nonsense" brayely
and followed the attendant into the room
where, lying in their plain pine boxes,
the dead are piled like bales of dry
goods against the sides of the room.
"Here is one who is to be buried to-
morrow" said the attendant, lifting the
lid Of the box. "You see, we have three
buryings q week; they number any
where from twenty-five to fifty bury
ing. This one was found down"
At that moment the bride gave shrill
scream:
"It's Jennie; oh, it's Jennie!" she
cried. Then she fell insensible in the
arms of husband. There was one cof-
fin missing from the grave list next day.
But who was Jennie?-N. Y. Herald.

portunity yet to congratulate you on

That's just what Jack says. He
won't make me conspicuous by his at

another girl, though"
"And Ethel does not firt at all,
though she is so beautiful"
YES. o, I'm having great fun!
Don't look. but there is a couple par
TALLY screened by that palm; l can only
see the back of her head and one of his
shoulders; what a Irritation they are
having!"
"H0w absurd; it is such bad form to
t1lrt in public, too"
lawfully. Do tell me what Miss
Marigold is wearing tonight She has
such exquisite taste in dress"
1-why. really don't know-some
kind of "a light evening dress, you
know. The sleeves are large, l know,
for she told me to be careful not to
crush 'em."
Really, Ned, you will rival Worth
one of these days!"
"Yes, and she's wearing La France
roses. I never thought of sending ng
them, you know, but she happened to
say, never thinking, of course, that she
hoped I wouldn't send her red ones, as
her gown needed pink ones. Lucky,
wasn't it?"
VERY. Don't look-a man can never
see anything without looking directly
at it-but the man behind the palm is
kissing her hand, and o, what a blaze
of Jewels it is!'
%What joke! They think they are
unobserved. Ethels only fault is her
fondness for diamond rings. 1t costs a
fellow lot of money"
81 suppose SO. Now Jack says my
hand is too well shaped to be loaded
with Jewels. Loverlike; isn't it?"
very. There is your Aunt Jennie;
she seems to be looking for some one. u
"For me- She has been for half an
hour; she brought me tonight; sup
pose she is sleepy. I've had such fun
watching that pair that I've hidden
from her. Their heads are very close
now"
"What pair of idiots. Just engaged,
no doubt"
Every likely. But Jack and would
not make such an exhibition for worlds
"Nor Ethel and I; she would be hor.
riied."
"Why, Aunt Jennie, is that you? ]
was just coming to the card-room to
look for you"
81 thought you would want to GO
home, my poor child, So
20, was in no hurry, Aunt Jennie
I've had great fun watching"
I'm glad TO hear it. 1t shows your
good sense! Many girl in your place
would be wild with jealousy after the
way Jack has been flirting all evening
behind that palm with that horrid Ethe
Marigold! If you are quite ready now
we will go and get our wraps"

COURAGEOUS. THOUGH A DUDE.
But His Valor Only Came After Its Oh
ject Had Vanished.

He was magnificent specimen of a
Drexel boulevard dudelet and was suf-
fering from the effect of too many
lemonades. With companion of the
same species he boarded a Cottage
Grove car just as the theater crowd
filled it. A large, good humored
mother, with an interesting daughter
and small, dyspeptic son, entered also.
The ladies got seat on one side of the
car and the male portion of the family
rested his personality in a grudging
wav on a few inches of seat right op-
posite.
The dudelets aforementioned took up
a position opposite the matron and her
daughter, the hero of the lemonade de-
bauch hanging himself up to strap as
limp as washrag and about as intel
lectual-looking. He swayed to and fro
as the car dragged its slow way along
until at last he almost fell on the lady.
Then he Strengthened up and began to
exchange ''cracks" in questionable taste
with his comrade. The little man, see
ing his mother surrounded by profanity
and in imminent danger of being
crushed by the dissipated youth hang
ing perpendicularly TO the strap grew
red and redder. Finally the limp
youth fell over on the lady, and then
the little mans wrath bubbled over.
Jumping up he grabbed the offender
around his waist, and throwing him
viciously in a heap into the seat he had
just vacated, blurted out angrily:
"Sit there, you drunken brute"
The Young man who had been thus
roughly handled fell in heap where he
had been thrown and lapsed into, or
seemed to lapse into, a sudden slumber.
A few blocks further on the matron, the
daughter, and the heroic son left the
car. Hardly had they vanished before
the limp young man shook himself to-
gether, glanced swiftly around the car,
and then shouted fiercely:
"Say, where's the gezer what threw
me down? can lick him. wouldn't
stand such treatment from any man.
What! has he gomez" Then, turning to
his chum, said, "Say, Billy, honest did
he throw me down or did l fall"
"He threw you," retorted Billy con-
temptuously.
"Has he gone certainP" asked the
other.
"Yes, he's gone, replied Billy with
curling lip.

turned the other retlectively. Il could
have licked him easy and l will when l
catch him alone, but what could fellow
do when he had his mother and sister
along. Three to one don't go, but ]
can lick that gezer, and then the con-
ductor came along and said, Say,
young feller, if yer don't stop yer shout
ing I'll put yer off, and the ill-starred
youth said not another word, from that
time on Chicago Times.

would commit himself. just about as
it was time for him to go, a great hub

and, under cover of it, he said: 'Ah,

"Just then her fathers voice rose loud
and clear: i tell you now," he was
saying. this thing has got to stop!
Alma's extravaganza is enough to ruin
any man! No wonder she is twenty
four and can't Her mother stopped
him there, but it was too late. Alma
asked Victor what he was going to say,
and he stammered out: 'Could-could

"Poor Alma! And I know that by
the time she got back from Kansas he
was engaged to that little school teacher,
who makes over her dresses twice and
puts her money in the bank"
"Yes. Oh, my goodness! They are
all going, and we haven't heard word
they said. They were going to discuss
the most vital question of the day, and"
"For my part, the question we have
been discussing is vital enough for me,
