A NARROW ESCAPE.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Caught Smelling Peas, lie Pretends to
BE the Gardener.
A well-to-do gentleman of middle age
said 10 a writer in the Louisville Post
several days ago: DO you know that
had rather shell green peas than do
almost anything else? My wife says
that il demoralizes the servants to have
me do it, but I'm not living for the ser
wants.
The other day l sat down on our
back porch with pan of my favorite
vegetables in my lap, and was enjoying
myself in great shape, far from the
madding crowd, for my wife had some
swell callers.
All OF a sudden heard woman's
voice say:
"'Oh, | must see your cute back
yard; I've heard so much of it
Then the window flew open and out
popped two pretty bonneted heads.
Il turned mine away, and my wife
was equal TO the occasion.
Patrick, she said, you must re-
member to NOW that grass before Mr..
--- comes home.
"'Yesc na'sm,' l replied in my best
brogue, and all was well.

JOHN OLIVER HOBBIES.
Brilliant New England Woman Who
Has Created a Literary Sensaf ION.

AAoS ShChtcu u A<ItcThTy SeInsattOn,
New York, Nov. 3O.-A slim, darkhaired
woman, muffled in furs WIN came down
the long gangway uf the Campania the
other day in New York, has created a
pleasing ripple OF eager curiosity among
the bouk-writing and book-reading public.
Some of the Campania's passengers pointed
her out as John Oliver Hobbies, others as
Mrs Craigie, and a few of them knew
enough Ia explain that the author OF the
crisp, satirical little novels, read and
admired widely, both in England and
