Mrs. CLEVELAND'S TOILET.-A
dispatch from Washington says Mrs.
Cleveland has very dainty taste in
the selection of her underwear, and
invariably selects all such garments
of the finest materials and an elabo-
rate amount of lace trimmings. She
has fancy for Fedora skirts, because
of the fact that they can be length
ened or shortened at fancy to suit
the emergency of the moment by
means of the strips of insertion
through which the ribbon is run at
the sides.
Silk undergarments find scant fa-
vor in Mrs. Cleveland's eyes, her
preference being for fine sheer linen,
linen lawns and muslins of the most
cobWebby description.
In the dressing of her children,
Mrs. Cleveland's taste is most sim Pile
Their little frocks are always of
white muslin or similar material
without any display of trimmings
Generally their outside wraps are
also of white. On the occasion OF
the Leiter-CurZon wedding, when
Mrs. Cleveland was accompanied to
the ceremony at the church by heI
little daughter, the latter wore big
hat and coat, with deep cape of pink
marseilles trimmed with white en-.
! broidery.

"A PRoBLEM.-Among the many

BY JAMES WIIITCOMB RILEY.
Oh, in the depths of midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain,
When even the sigh of the sleeper
Sounds like sob Of pain.
"A sense of awe and of wonder
L may never well define,
For the thoughts that come i'm the
shadows
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down IN the parlOr,
Like q sleepless mourncr grievcs,
And the seconds drip in the silence
AS the rair dripS from the caves.
And | think Of the hands that signal
The hours there in the gloom,
And wonder what angel watchers
Wait in the darkencd room.
And | think Of the smiling faces
That used to watch and wait
I'LL the click of the clock was an

A STORY is told of a grocer en-
gagged in business in a London suburb,
to the effect that he once declined to
attend very popular concert even
though free ticket was offered him.

the consequent disturbance.

GIRL WANTED" .".-Then enew song,
Girl Wanted," caused trouble in a
music store the other day. Early in
the morning young lady came in
asked for position. She was fol-
lowed by another and another, until
by noon fifteen girls had applied for
places. The proprietor was amazed
at the run of girls, for there was no
vacancy in his force of clerks. The
afternoon brought a fresh relay of
girls. There were big girls and little
girls, short girls and tall girls, fat
girls and thin girls, and girls with
home-m made compilations and /" blon-
dined" hair. Finally the proprietor
thought he was the victim of prac-
tical joke and he fairly thundered at
the last maiden, who said in timid
tones:
I" called to see about the position
you wish filed"
BY thunder, miss =" he roared
there hasn't been vacancy in this
store for six months. No one has
died, got married nor run away.

The maiden opened wide her china
blue eyes.
Well if you don't want a girl,
and am sure no decent girl would
want to work for such crank" she
sputtered, "y0u'd better remove the
! sign from the window"
And she tlounced out muttering
something about there being an asy-
lum for lunatics.
The proprietor went out in front
and looked at his window. There
in large letters was the title-page OF
the new song "Girl Wanted" He
! had it removed from the window.

OFF AND ON.-A lawyer noted for
his success on cross-examination
found his match i'm a recent trial,
when he asked long-suffering wit
ness how long he had worked at his
business of tin-roOfing. The answer
was; "l have worked at it off and
on, but have worked at it steady for
the past twelve years"
How long off and on have you
worked at it?u
Sixty-five years."
How old are you ?"
SiXty-five."
"Then you have been a tin-roofer
from birth :"
"No, sir, of course haven't"
"Then why do you say that YOU
have worked at your trade sixty-five
years."
Because you asked how long off
and on | had worked at it. | have
worked at it off and on for sixty-tive
years-twenty years on and forty
five OFF,
Hero there was roar i'm the court
room, but not at the expense of the
witness, and his inquisitOr hurriedly
finished his examination in great
confusion.
WOULDN'T EAT THEM RAw.-A
story comes from the dispensary of
one of the Chicago hospitals. The
physician in attendance after listen
ing to woman's tale regarding her
husbands ailment prescribed some
medicine and also told her to apply
some leeches on the sick man. When
the woman returned next day the
doctor asked her if her husband was
better.
NO" she said; .'he's rather
worse, if anything"
Did you follow out my instruc-
tions with regard to the leeches ?"
Well no-nOt exactly. John
wouldn't eat them raw, so fried 'em
for him."

lie had on new brown kid gloves.
and carried an elegant silk umbrella
with silver handle on which was
engraved his monogram.
The little one was very short and
very crooked, with q hump on one
shoulder and limp in his gait. His
clothes were threadbear and his can
was ragged; his shoes had holes in
them his little hands were bare and
red with cold. He held clumsy
newspaper bundle in his arms.
The two stood side by side upon
the curbstOne of crowded street
waiting for chance to cross. The
little one looked up at the large one
with admiration. What a fine GEN
tleman :" he thought.
Suddenly a poorly clad old woman
carrying great basket of clothes
came down from the opposite direc-
ton. As she ncared the sidewalk,
she lodged suddenly to avoid cart
that was passing, and stumbled
against the tall gentleman, her bas-
ket of clothes knocking out Of his
grasp the umbrella with the mono
gram on the silver handle. With an
angry glance and muttered oath he
gave her a rough shove to one side
while he stopped to recover the
umbrella.
The little one had seen it all. He
threw down his newspaper bundle,
while with one hand he caught the
old woman and with the other kept
her basket from being overturned in
the gutter.
You're a gentleman-that you
are J" she said, fervently, putting
her hands with tenderness on the
threadbare coat which covered the
poor misshapen back.
But the tall one did not hear her.
He had crossed the street. And the
little one was surprised.-O Outlook.
