Story of u Salad.

From the Buffalo Enquirer
A certain Buffalo young woman who just
ly prides herself on her knack at making
salads and other dainty Dishes recently
decided to invite few friends for an even
ing at cards. She concluded that lobster
salad would be the best thing for light
luncheon, and accordingly. with her usual
care. picked over the lobster, mixed the
mayonnaise dressing and put the dish
away. When the hour for serving the re-
freshments came around, the guests sat in
pleasant anticipation as the salad appeared
AS it was brought in the hostess thought
she detected a peculiar odor, but ascribed
it to some new perfume the servant had
used. One guest took a taste of the salad,
gave a start, and put down his fork. A
young woman who took a good mouthful
coughed and made a wry face. The hostess
then confidently partook of her own product,
Gracious goodness she exclaimed, has,
tily, putting her napkin to her lips, don't
eat any more of that salad. Walt min

The City Mans Life.

From the Chicago Record.
Country people have strange ideas OF
city life," said the head bookkeeper, lean
ing back in his chair and addressing the
ledger clerk.
I've just received a letter from a
friend" he said, who lives in a little
town in Indiana. He has been to Chicago
a few times but never to stay more than
day or two
81 see by the papers, he says, that you
have had strike in Chicago and that
there is talk of calling out the troops.
What strike-ridden city Chicago is, any
wayI 1 should think you'd all begin to
dread what the next day might bring
forth.
Now, I can't tell what strike he refers
to. 1 haven't seen the least evidence of
one nor heard of 1t. The fact is my friend
has the idea that I must be perfectly ia
milar with every murder, every suicide
and every bank robbery that happens in
the city. and that attend all the horrible
street-car accidents. On the same prin-
c.ple that nothing happens in the town
where he lives even down to the lootng
of chicken roost that every one doesn't
know all about.
Now, as a matter of fact, he gets the
Chicago papers at his home every morn
ing earlier than I do, and he actually
knows what is going on in Chicago before
1 do. Besides, he reads the papers much
more thoroughly than a city man ordin-
arily does, especially the details of casu-
alities occurring in Chicago.
"A countryman hasn't the slightest idea
how narrow the average city mans life is.
My friend often says: I envy you your
opportunities for seeing new things. You
are in the midst of the drama of life where
things are always happening You can go
to theaters, lectures, parks, museums and
hundred other places of amusement that
country man cannot enjoy
"Of course. / have opportuDtttas Of
doing all those things, but how often do 1
improve them? You know 1 live down in
5Oth street. Each morning as soon as I
have breaktasted 1 walk a block to the
Cottage Grove avenue cars and ride down
town. Like every one else I read my pa
per nearly all the way and don't see any
thing else. When l get to Madison street
l jump off and walk four blocks to the
office. There isn't much excitement in that
Is there? l sit here a my desk until noon
and then go down and spend fifteen min
utes in the restaurant and come back up
the elevator without once having been out
of doors. At O'Clock / go back along
Madison street to the cable cars read the
paper all the way home and then play
with the baby in the evening
And that is the days program most of
the year. OF course could go to theaters
and lectures, and my wife and 1 are al
ways talking about 1t, but in reality we
go very rarely. We may be in the midst
of the drama of life,' but we don't see
much of it. 1t is pretty thing to think
about. though, especially for the man who
doesn't live in the dirt and dust. foul odors
and jangling noises Of the city,"

reply. What with his wife dying and a

The Watering Troughs.
, the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening sur:
A complaint appeared in the paper about
a week ago regarding the muddy. dirty
condition of the watering troughs. and
ended by saying that compelling horses to
drink out of these was cruelty to ami
mails with a vengeance"
AS this Is a reflection on the Humane
Society the public should be Informed that
the Humane Society gives these watering
troughs but as the city puts them in place
it is supposed to keep them in order. With
out this work of the Humane Society there
would probably not be place for thirsty
horse to get a drink, for it has furnished
I, the city nearly every watering trough
to be SEEM and II by chance one was found
not to be as clean as 1t should be IL is the
fault of the city government, whose duty
II is to keep them in order. and not that OF
the Humane Society. S. p. c. A

man who sits idly in his tent while cor
