1t Pursues Two EIninently Respectable
 Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
 Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they couldn't get along" and matters went between them from bad to worse till they quit speaking"
 They both got tired, of course, living in the same house with a mortal enemy, and finally both determined to move. Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the same day. Lady No. 1 loaded up her house. hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and car ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and other effects of lady No. 9.
 Lady No. l was just composing her self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when a wagon stopped at the front door and began to unload a collection of articles unmis- takably feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady.
 Her suspicious were true. They had moved into the same house.
 There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in peace and char ity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. 2 never got her trunk inside of the house.

queer Freak Of 8 Drunken Brute In

 A Cleveland family was in court the other day. 4 daughter was one of the witnesses, and she had this cheerful tale to tell of her father: "Pa was sit ting in his saloon, feeling lonely. He went to the barn, and putting a halter on his horse brought him into the house, saying he wanted the animal to eat supper with him. Pa made me set plate for the horse Then he took hold of the horses front legs and lifted them up on the table. We all satdown to supper and the horse began to eat. Pa picked up mug of beer and began to laugh and throw both hands in the air. The mug. hit the horse on the nose. The beast pulled his feet down, dragging the tablecloth and upsetting the table. The horse backed up and sat squarely on a redhot stove. This burned its tail so the animal kicked the stove over and ran out of the door. I screamed and pa threw lamp at me. The house came near catching fire, and police man came III. Pa has been arrested 108 times"

Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
 the Step for Them.
 A social club of deaf mutes exists in Warsaw since 1883, and as there are a large number of persons thus afflict ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the club is doing very well. During the last week of carnival the club arranged a ball, and in order to enable the mem Der to dance to the music in time, a very curious plan was adopted, which proved quite efficient. A large paper doll was rigged up on the piano, and the player, also deaf mute, who fur nished the music, which, of course, could not be heard by the members of the club, used a pedal to make the paper figure move up and down in time with the piece played. \ large sign alongside announced the character of the dance, and thus it became possible for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances as if they were not afflicted with their organic shortcomings. Besides that, they were spared the agony of those who could hear, for some wag had tam pered with the piano, which was fright fully out of tune, even the player never noticing that fact. The deaf mutes danced into the early morning hours and unanimously voted the entertain ment a magnificent success.

That Is How Southern Congressman
 Regards His Lot.


 ''Some people may think that a con- gressman saves a pile of money out of his salary" said well-known southern congressman, who was talking to q Washington Star reporter on the vicis- situdes of running for office, and es- be a small walking bank to accommo date the large number of his friends and supporters who need little money for some urgent matter. In my state we have to make campaigns and appear before the people at meetings. Well, 1 have never attended a meeting but that I did not have some kind of subscrip- tion polled into my face. Somebody wants something for church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out.
 "You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then about the time you think you are through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: How do, gineral? had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and I thunk yer mout giv' me a dollar While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar.
 "When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from $20 to $50. These are just a few instances of what candi- date has to spend money for. After he gets through the campaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead beat from his district who should happen to come to Washington with money. I've ac- tually given them money and railroad tickets to get home and have them go back and work against me-

DEAD, YET ALIVE.

An interesting EnOch Arden Case in an
 English Court.
 A curious Enoch Arden case, in which the lord justice of appeal had to inter- vene in order to bring a man to life again legally, has just been decided in England. Forty-two years ago wom- an married a sailor in the British navy, who deserted, went to the United States and was not heard of again for 36 years. Six years after his disap- pearance she married another man, with whom she lived for IS years, but from whom she at last obtained a judi cial separation and alimony in 1892. The second husband pleaded that his marriage was null, as her first hus- band was alive at the time, but the jury 1n the divorce court found that the man was dead. Last year husband No. 3 discovered husband No. 1, brought suit again and produced him in court, where

he was fully identified, but the judge held that as a jury had declared he was dead, he could not admit that he was alive and dismissed the suit. The appel late judges seem to be of his opinion, for they refused to allow the appeal and annul the marriage on the ground of the mans being alive till the second husband had given security that he would pay the woman an allowance.

Rubbers for Dogs.

Rubbers for dogs are the newest products of civilization. The street car companies strew salt to melt the snow and this makes the feet of dogs sore. But these canine rubbers are high priced and each dog needs two pair. In the Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are used to pull sleds are protected by a sort of leather toe piece fastened with thongs.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- trio car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

Brown University Defeats the carlis lie
School Indians.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Eighteen
Brown University defeat the plucky In
dians Of the Carlisle School at Man
haitian Field this afternoon, the final
score being: Brown "a, Carlisle Indi-
ans II.
Browns victory, which was rather
a surprise, was mainly due to the mag
nificent playing of Gammons and Futtz.
1t was in the second half that the two
half backs made sensational runs and
won the game. Gammons was the first
to score in the last half with a grand
run of eighty yards, in which he
walked clean away from Cayou, the
speedy Indian half back. Futtz ran
sixty yards for the next score, and the
final touchdown was the result of a
beautiful concerted run, in which Colby
interfered for Gammons, enabling the
latter to pass Metoxen and score after
a sixty-five yard sprint
1t was the first time during the sea-
son that the Indians had such fast
scoring backs opposed to them, and the
redskins were completely outclasSed
when 1t came to running.
AS was expected, the Carlisle boys
were able to go through Browns line
for big gains, and If It had not been
for a couple of fumbles at critical mo-
ments and very poor decision on the
part of the timekeeper at the end of the
first half. the game might have been
a tie.
A feature OF the Indians play was the
