HOW TROUBLES ARE DIVIDED.
If Not the Same Sort We All Have About
the Same Number.

Troubles are pretty evenly divided,
after all.
A girl may 90 nearly distracted when
she feels that the band of her dress skirt
has come unfastened, but think CT the
misery of the man when the buttonhole
in the neckband of his shirt rips open
and lets his collar and necktie slide up
to his ears.
A girl has to fold her hands and wait
for man to ask her to go to the thea
ter with him, but when she does go she
has the comfort of making the man
spend lot of money. That consoles
her to certain extent.
A girl has to entertain stupid callers
whether she wants to or not. because
society demands it. A man has to dance
with girls who can't even walk grace
fully, because if he did not his hostess
would consider him rude
A girl carries her life in her hands
when she tries to get within rod of a
bargain counter, but she can walk
along the street in peace. Half dozen
bootblacks don't yell, "Shine, sir; shine,
at her.
A girl has heaps of trouble with her
complexion and her front hair, but she
doesn't have to have razor go travel
ing over her face every day.
A girl is very likely to spend weeks
in planning the construction of a new
hat, but when she does get it people
don't sit on it, as they always do on
mems headgear. Perhaps that's be-
cause girl doesn't leave her hat lying
around on sofas and chairs.

Wanted No Discrimination.

The last time Bart Scott was in Wash
ington he told good story about
member of the Wisconsin legislature.
The old man was elected TO the state
senate from one of the lumber counties
and was proud of the honor. When the
legislature met in Madison Senator
Blank was daily in his seat before the
time for calling the senate to order
and spread the Madison Journal before
him to read the news of the day. One
morning after the chaplain's prayer,
while the clerk of the senate was read
ing the journal of the proceedings Of
the previous day, a gentleman arose
and said:
"Mr. President, | move to dispense
with the reading of the journal"
Senator Blank quietly folded his
Madison Journal, arose and said: "Mr.
President, I move also to dispense with
the reading of all the other papers.
There should be no distinction against
the journal. ."--Psiladslphia Times.

The Old Maid.

Maggie Mccarthy was married some
what late in life, when her old friends
had begun to think she never would
take mate. They were consequently
much interested in her housekeeping
and professed themselves greatly

she really loved Jim and was not worn
out with having him "underfoot." Mag

her baby came her happiness was COM

"Ah, ye should see Jim wild the

themselves. Don't he admire it jist!

Smokers Cramp.

Writer'S cramp is sufficiently well
known but it is only in countries in
which the use of the cigarette displaces
all other forms of enjoying the "weed"
that smokers cramp is heard of.
This affection is common enough in
Spain, Notwithstanding that the Span
lard is so expert that he can roll a Gig
arctic with single movement of the
hand. 1t is now finding its way into
France, where the government tobacco
is hot in pipe but tolerable to the taste
when inclosed in rice paper.
1t appears, however, that the COM
plant did not make its advent here un-
til the state assented to the sale of Gig
arettes made by hand.
The persons who are now suffering
from this painful form of cramp are the
workgirls who get their living by roll
ing cigarettes. In this connection ii
may be noted that the Society for the
Prevention of the Abuse of Tobacco
has. parodying the familiar "cherchez
la femme" now adopted for its war-cry
"Cherchez le tabac." basing its attack
upon the allegations that Caserio and
all other assassins were victims to the
cigarette, which they smoked on the
eve of committing great crimes.-Lo's'

They Never Speak Now.

She had admired the men, and though
the years had come and gone and she
was still Miss Brown her admiration
had not abated. On the contrary, it
had increased. She was of the modern
woman school also, or at least wanted
people to think so, and as for herself,
she thought she was intensely interest
ing. To young Mr.. Jones she had been
lately addressing herself, and young
MIR. Jones didn't like it little bit. In
fact, young Mr.. Jones usually fled when
she appeared, but on this occasion she
had taken him unawares and was now
holding him in her thrall, in pretty
alcove in the conservatory. just be-
yond them sat pretty girl to whom
Mr.. Jones was devoted and he longed
to get over to her and oust the vapid
youth who young Mr.. Jones was sure
was making desperate love to her. But
Miss Brown held on like turtle.
"Do you know Mr.. Jones" she was
saying in her most intense fashion,
''that the modern woman is an ideal to
me?"
mo, really, don't know" confessed
Mr.. Jones much against his will
"But it is true" she continued, "and,
OH Mr.. Jones, some of the women we
read of books, see on the stage, and
hear of in daily life appeal so strongly
to me-"
"Yes?" said Mr.. Jones with a rising
infection.
Indeed, yes" she responded. Then
with deep earnestness she turned to
him:
did you know, Mr.. Jones'" she
whispered almost tragically, "that am
a woman with past?"
well" he replied in an absent-mind-
ed sort of way, "the most of women
who have lived forty years weren't
born yesterday, don't you know?"
Later in the evening young Mr..
Jones told the pretty girl how it hap
pened that Miss Brown would forever
thereafter be to him only a stranger.

PLAYING A TRICK WITH A BILL.
A Man Who Planned a Good Joke ON His
Boston Friends.

A man walked into a hotel near a
railway station, says the n Y. Tribune,
early the other morning. having just
left a train. He ordered and ate a
hearty breakfast. and then, instead of
giving his waiter the money to pay the
check and waiting for the change, as
most men do. he tipped" the waiter
and carried the bill to the cashier. In
his hand, along with the bill for his
breakfast, he held $40 note.
you would pin a slip of paper to this
bank bill, so that you can identify it, and
then put it away, please, until call for
it tomorrow"
The cashier looked rather astonished.
Yes" said the other, II only want to
leave it here as security for my break
fast. I'll come back to get it.
"But it's a good bil," said the cash
ier. I'll accept it and give you change" :"
"No," replied the stranger, II don't
want you to do that want merely to
leave this bank bill in pawn. want to
pledge it. Give me the price of my
breakfast on it, and tomorrow I'll re-
deem it.
"Oh, I see," said the cashier with a
smile, "you want to keep this bill be-
cause it has some peculiar value through
association. It's a sort of a souvenir,
eh?"
"Weu. not exactly" was the answer.
"You see. I've been in Boston. I went
nearly broke there. When I was COM
ing away some of my friends insisted on
lending me some money. told them
that should not need it, but they de-
clared could not pull through. One
of them forced $40 on me-"
"'I'll tell you what I'll do said.
You take down the number and date
of this bill. I'm coming to Boston
again next week. Now, to prove to
you that don't need this 80, I'll bet
you that bring the same bill back with
me-In bet a dinner for us all
They took the bet. and that is why
want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty
good joke on them. ehp" he said with a
wink. 81 spend it, and yet keep it.
Take good care of it for me-" and he
went out looking like conqueror.
About five minutes later the cashier
took out the bill, pinned the slip of pa
per to another one of about the same
color and appearance, and slipped them
back into the cash drawer.
Il wonder who'll have the joke on
him now?" be said to himself, and then

MARK TWAIN AND THE INDIANS.
The Humorist Tricked by Snowman and
Misrepresented to the Warriors.

Charley Davis tells good story anent
for once outhumored, says the Pitts
Forepaugh's show, which happened at
that particular date to be playing
in Hartford. The agent thought
to get an interview arranged between
of the circus. He called upon the hu-
morist and laid the matter before him.
Mark said he didn't care for Indians
and was busy and didn't see what the
Indians had to do with him anyhow.
"Why. the fact is" replied the circus
man, with gravity worthy of higher
life, "they have heard of you and want
naturally to see you"
This didn't appear to be strange to
Mr.. Clemens. Still, he was indisposed
to grant the request until Davis swore
that big Sioux chief had declared that
he would never die happy if compelled
to return to the reservation without
having seen and spoken to the man
whose fame was as wide as the world.
GAIL right" said Twain-run 'em in
at and let us make it short"
About that hour the humorist sat on
his porch and saw to his astonishment
an immense cavalcade of mounted war
riors coming down the street. In the
place of half dozen chiefs expected
there were not less than fifty savages,
tearing along like mad, in exhibition of
their horsemanship. They turned in
upon the lawn and broke down the
shrubbery and wore Of the grass, and
devastated the whole place. The spokes-
man of the party was a mighty hunter,
and had been previously informed that
Twain was distinguished for the awful
slaughter of wild beasts, SO he laid HIM
self out for game of brag. The in
terpreter was in the deal, and, instead
of repeating what the chief really said,
made speech of his own speaking of
Twain's literary achievements.
"For heavens sake, choke him off?"
said Twain once or twice.
The interpreter turned to the chief
and said the white hunter wanted to
hear more. And on he went. Every
time the humorist cried for more the
chief was told to give another hunting
story. Finally. the Indian vocabulary
becoming exhausted, the chief quit,
whereupon Twain made brief reply,
which was quadrupled in length by the
interpreter turning it into marvellous
hunting yarn. The chief listened with
stolid indifference, but when they got
away he grunted contemptuously and
said:
"White hunter heap big liar!"

New Argument Against Nude in Art

Iowa is considerably torn up over the
question whether figure which is to
surmount public monument shall be
nude or draped. Opinions on the SUBJ
ject are various and discussion wakes
warm. The matter is talked of from
the standpoints of art, propriety, NOR
ais, and the weather.
The last named element is dragged
into the argument by newspaper
which evidently wants to dodge the
points made by objectors to the nude in
art. This paper, which is published in
Keokuk, urges that while naked
statue may be all right in warm south
ern cline, it is quite inappropriate to a
high, chilly latitude like that of north
ern Iowa. Hence the statue should be
draped, because its exposure to inclem-
ent weather would be out of harmony
with all ideas of comfort and might
give the shivers 70 sympathetic behold

WASN'T THE CONDUCTOR THIS TIME.
One Indignant Lady Who Thought She
Had n Grievance but Hadn't.

She was wearing lovely new gown
and she greeted friend who entered the
car with the air of a woman who feels
that she has done her duty to society.
The conductor entered the car, col
lected the nickel of the newcomer,
and said briefly to the daintly-gowned
one:
Fare, please"
81 gave it to you when l first got in;
you should be more careful" she said
sternly. Then turning to her compan-
ion: Does the man fancy that would
defraud him of his five cents? Why, l
wouldn't do such a thing for the world"
"He must think that you are like
Eva"
"He must indeed. believe she would
perish at the stake rather than pay her
own car fare. Why, the other day we
were coming downtown together and
she hunted five pennies out of her pocket
and said, won't you give me nickel
for these? The conductor hates so to
take them"
"Of course you paid her fare"
@Of course. And she was so pleased
that she insisted upon taking me out to
lunch, and as we were late getting home
she would bring me up in cab. And
do believe she thinks she is five cents
ahead.

look for it, though she knew it wasn't
there"
"What did you do?"
20. after l had let her tumble about
ten minutes fished 10 cents out of my
cape pocket. 1t was great fun"
At this juncture the conductor en-
tered the car once more. BEG pardon,
lady," he said, "but you really amt
paid any fare"
She drew herself up haughtily: Il
paid it when first got in; am always
| most particular about it. I remember
it perfectly because 1 noticed that it was
the only nickel in my purse when got
it out"
"But, madam, you"
"Oblige me with your number" she
said majestically; "the company shall
hear of this. If cannot ride on this
line without being insulted I shall pat
ronize another. You may stop the
carr
The two ladies got off in great indig-
nation while the remaining passengers
looked sIispiciously at the conductor.
II shall have my husband attend to
this" she said, "the man simply wanted
to pocket the extra fare. But shan't
get angry over it, it is SO unbecoming,
besides Tom will be angry enough for
both. o. must tell you story that 1
know about Mrs. Skinner"

"She-wait a moment; my glove
hurts me. the fastening must be too

took it out of my purse and, as the con-
ductor didn't come right away. I must
have slipped it in my glove"
"And you never paid any fare after

NO, and l almost accused the man
of being thief with the money in my
own glove" And she stood looking
rather ruefully after the vanishing car

AEIcA VI lmpOBCOr In6C Haa
More Profitable Than Selling Papers.
A frail little fellow, not more than 12
years old, crouehed in the shadow of a
tall building near the Park place ele-
vated station few nights ago, present.
ing very forlorn picture of misery
pale, pinched features revealed life OF
struggling inthe streets, with none to
befriend him, but his rough companions
and little empty sleeve of his torn
and dirty coat. hanging by his side, told
the story of his misfortune. With his
remaining arm he extended a ragged
cap and few pedestrians turned deaf
ear to his humble appeal. "Only a few
pennies, sir" AS my hand sought my
pocket asked him how he lost his arm.
81 was workin' in a sawmill an it
wus cut off" was the reply.
1t seemed strange that buzz saw
could have taken the arm off so close to
the shoulder and it needed but touch
to discover that the arm was still at
tached to the body, hand and all, and
was not only under the coat but con-
cealed under the shirt and bound close
to the side. The lad did not move a
muscle.
did it hurt you when it was cut off?"
I asked.
"Say, you've got me right" he said,
"but there's more money in this for me
than there is sellin' papers and it's
easier"
Don't you know you can be ar
rested?"
"Oh, guess not. 1 don't let the
cops get on to me. One of 'em just
gave me nickel, anyway"
what do you do with the money!"
Take it home for me folks"
"Where do you live?"
"Say, boss" he said, warily, "you
want to know too much. How do
know you amt fly cop at that? This
amt no police court"
"Who told you to play this trick?" !
asked in severe tone.
Nobody but meself," he replied.
Then he told me he made about 81
every day by working his scheme for a
few hours and his mother and father
thought be got the money by selling
papers. AS turned from him an eld-
erly man approached the lad and, drop
ping coin in the hat, asked: "How
did you lose your arm, sonnyP"
II wus workin' in sawmill an it was
cut off," said the diminutive fakir, in a
pitiful tone.
