angels weep-the little girls i'll thin, fash
ionable toggery, fettered and imprisoned
on account of sex. Helen Campbell tells
of a scene she saw in New York Central
Park-a fashionably dressed child sadly
watching little Italian girl, whose scant
clothing was no hlndrance to her rolling
on the grass and dancing with the flying
leaves. When the heavy. tapping. broad
brimmed hat of little Fashion blew off.
she vented her feelings by kicking it and
jumping ON it screaming, Il hate my
hat / hate my clothes! l hate every
thipg!' A little respite, small bit of
comparative freedom had this poor rich
child when her grandpapa, arriving on
the spot, demanded that her long cloak
should be taken off and her long frock
pinned up. But the end of this short al
lowance of freedom came soon, and the
Unfortunate girl baby went back into
bondage, the slave of fashion.

Her Right to Work

to crop out in unexpected places, says
the Philadelphia Times. In the instance
of the Upper Bern township, Berks
county, tax collector, who seized the per-
sonal property of widow lady who re-
fused to pay her road tax and who
raises the novel claim that the supervisors
did not give her work on the road. The
woman appears to be distinctly right.
The question arises in a section of the
state where the women work in the fields
and do manual labor the same as the
men. The supervisors have from time
immemoral allowed the farmers to work
out their road tax with more or less sue
cess and if. under the circumstances, the
man is allowed to do it, the womans
should be permitted the same privilege.

FABLES FOR WOMEN
Dorothea Lumm,s in Chap Book

There was once u man who devoted
himself to his fellow creatures. Such of
them, that is. as were in need. A lame
dog or deformed child caused him to
shed tears, and tramp was the as apple
of his eye. He never forgot to put ashes
on the sidewalk in winter, or to carry
flowers to the hospitals in summer. He
gave his employees good wages good ad-
vice and many holidays. He paid his
taxes honestly and his dues promptly.
He subscribed to all charities and
visited slums on Saturday nights. And
everywhere he spent freely of his money,
his time and his kind words. And in all
this there was nothing he neglected ex-
cept one--his wife. After few years she

Her remedy was astonishingly simple.

piece of red ribbon about two inches

GORmAN.

Speaking Of presidential possibilities,
of course If the sound money Cleve-
land men do not control the convention
that as Kipllng would say, will be an
other story. The administration peo-
pie are rather afraid of German as q
presidential possibility. This fact
makes another interesting chapter.
Everybody remembers how, at the last
Democratic national convention, the
name Of Senator German was dragged
into the fight. The anti Cleveland
men, looking around for some one upon
whom they could unite, held out the
tempting bait to German. They dis
guised the hook with all sorts of nice
things, but they could not get the
shrewd Maryland senator to bite. "This
is not my time," said your uncle Ar
thur, and he went off to deeper waters
without the hook in his mouth. The
administration men who were at Chi
cago do not tell the story that way.
They say that German did all in his
power to defeat Cleveland's nomination
and they will hold it against him to
their dying day.

with body Of fighting men to Baghirmi,
southeast of Lake Chad, and not only
held his own against the Mahdists, but
conquered the country far and wide.
He then turned against tho sultan OF
Bornu, whose capital is Kuka, on Lake
Chad, where the traders were. Ashem,
the sultan, was defeated, and Klari,
Ashem's nephew, who succeeded as sultan,
gathered fresh forces and attacked Rabah

COLONEL WILSON, TEETOTALER.
Refused tn Drink VITA Two Presidents Of
the United States.

The transfer OF Colonel John M. Wilson
of the engineer corps, United States army,
from Washington, where he has for NUM-
bos of year, had charge OF public grounds
and buildings, To the northeast division,
will removed n familiar figure from the Cap
ital City. Colonel Wilson Is u great friend
of President Cleveland, and his position
has necessitated his appearance mt all the
public White House functions. All the
White House furniture and belongings
have been under his efficient charge.
Colonel Wilson has had an experience
somewhat unusual, certainly TO an army
officer. He has been obliged to refuse to
take drink with two presidents of the
United States. At tho close Of the long
fatiguing day of Cleveland's first inaugu-
ration Colonel Wilson was waiting in the
White House to receive the president.
"Well, colonel, said tho president, "we
have had hard day, and l think we got
through pretty we'll" The colonel assent
ed. "Thcn," said the president, "let's go
and take quiet drink together. Colonel
Wilson followed him into his chamber, and
the president proceeded to get out the in
gradients when the colonel said, 81 am
sorry can't join you In drink OF whisky,
for have never drunk spirits and never
mean to do so"
The president looked rather surprised and
said: "That is queer for an army officer.
Here is Colonel Apollinaris and ice." So
the colonel drank the health OF the presi-
dent in modest quencher.
The colonel's duties in like manner
called upon him to arrange for the inau-
guration of President Harrison. On that
occasion he again waited for the president
to enter the White House. The president
led him into the same chamber and sug-
gested that they should take drink in
honor of the occasion. Colonel Wilson was
then Obliged to tell Of his experience with
Mr.. Cleveland, and as there was no apol-
linaris on tap he drank Mr.. Harrison's
health in glass Of Potomac water.-New

Napoleon and His Pine.

Napoleon was snuff taker in mile
way, smelling of the tobacco rathe,
than shutting it, but mover learned tt
smoke. Once only, according to hi
valet, Constant, he tried pipe. The at
tempt, of which Constant gives a hui
morous account, was on this wise:
An eastern ambassador, Persian o.
Turkish, had presented the emperor
with a handsome oriental pipe, and one
day the fancy took him to use it. Con
slant, at his masters request, got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
It remained, of course. for the emperor
to set the tobacco alight by drawing il
his breath. So his valet told him.
''But, adds Constant, sat the rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be done. He contente6
himself with opening and shutting hii
lips without breathing the least in the
world.''
Finally he put the pipe into the Wallets
hands and commanded him to light it,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe, and instead Of being expelled
through the mouth it came out of the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says at
all events.
The emperor was nearly strangled,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried:
''Take it away. The horrible thing
It makes me sick. !"
It was more than an hour before he
recovered his equanimity; and that was
the end of his career as a smoker. -
