DIDN'T GET WHAT SHE WANTED.

ROut of Young Woman Who Undertook
to Squelch a Grocery Clerk.
Two pretty young women entered a
large up town grocery one evening last
week. From their conversation it was
evident that they belonged to some
boarding school in the neighborhood
and had stolen out for few moments to
buy dainties which they meant to SNUG
gle to their rooms.
"Thero's one thing don't like about
ha clerks in this store, said one Of
tnem, while they waited for the sales
man, "and that's the way they insist on
telling you that you don't want what
you do want and that you do want what
you don't want. Every time come III
here I have the same experience, and
I'm just tired of it. The next time it
happens I'm going to tell the clerk just
what think of him.
At that moment clerk approached
and asked the young women what they
wanted. The one who had SO much to
complain about pointed at one OF row
of cracker tins and said;
81 want pound of those.
sob, no, you DONE, " said the clerk
suavely; "you want some of these, or
these here; they all very nice. -
The young woman threw a glance
which said, "What did tell you?" at
her companion, and turning to the clerk
said fiercely:
'No, don't, anything of the kind. I
want these and no others,
81 beg your pardon, he began, 81
thought
Never mind what you thought, "
said the young woman. "Iguess know
what I want. Now just let me have a
pound of those, please. !" And she turned
to her companion with look of triumph
on her face which plainly meant,
"Didn t squelch him?'
Every we'll, madam" said the clerk
humbly, "but may ask whether they
are for yourself?'
"Well, of all the impertinent ques
tions'- began the young woman, wher
her companion interrupted, and, turning
to the clerk, said:
"Why do you ask?''
"Oh, because they're dog biscuit,
replied the clerk indifferently. Still,
of course, if you want them, you can
have them.
"Never mind" faltered the young
woman who had insisted on having what
she wanted "I guess don't want any
thing at ALL, and she strutted out OF
the store looking very much ashamed
and followed by her companion. who
was struggling to hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything, but
there was a satisfied smile on his face as
he banged the cover down on the can OF
dog biscuit and walked away to wait on
another customer. New York Sun.

Some gentlemen Of family who are
clever at story, jest and repartee are fol-
lowing a strange business in London.
There is a man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment for all
kinds of social gatherings, having men
of family ON his staff, who in the gulse
of guests manage to insure an enjoyable
evening for the invited guests, and thus
set the anxiety of the hostess, fearing
dull time for her guests, at rest. A cou-
pie of guineas will engage the services
of a person of "good social attalnments,
who will so exercise his art of enter
tanning others as to put everybody at

guineas will command the services OF

large outlay of $50 will secure those of

A LIVELY OLD ROW AHEAD.
Black and White Delegates Must Be
Lodged in the Same Room.

Black and White Delegates Must Be
Lodged in the Same Room.
1t is said that the subcommittee of
the national republican committee hav-
ing in charge the arrangements for the
entertaining of delegates to the national
convention in st. Louis will insist that
the hotel:keepers make noIdiscrimination
between white and black guests during
the convention; that is to say, the black
delegates and the white delegates must
be lodged in the same buildings and
probably in the same rooms, and fed in
the same dining rooms. If that pro-
gramme is adhered to it goes without
saying that there will be lively old row
in ST. Louis along color lines during the
time. The white republicans are no
more in favor of social equality than are
the white democrats.

Directed Her Letter to Heaven,

At a recent wedding, says the Wash
ingtOn Star, the bride had retired to her
dressing room to don her travelling gown.
Her mother had been dead year or
more, and she had had the constant
care and companionship of her little
sister ever since their affection. The
seVen-year-old entered the room and
went to her sisters chair very thought
fully. Drawing a letter from her little
pocket, she said:
Alice, here is letter to mama. L
have just written telling her all about
the wedding. viii you send 1T to her?"
The elder sister, little choked, re-
piled as gently as possible that she could
not send letter to mother.
Then the little one, looking quite
bright, said promptly:
ooh, yes, you can, because now you
are married you will be getting little
girl, and when you send for her just
give the doctor this letter and he can
take it to mama when he goes for the
baby"
And there on the envelope was the
address, printed as best she could:
"To Mama,
In Heaven.
Kindness of the Doctor"
She took the letter aud Rugged the
little one to hide the tear which was
rubbed off on the curly, brown head.

Another correspondent writes:
Years ago | heard young girl in her
teens express it as her opinion that ev>
erv woman should have that preroga-
tive of queen-the privilege of choos-
inc of her own husband. This young
girl had been reading the story Of Queen
Victoria, and it's beautiful difference to
queen appealed to her awakening wo-
manhood as the natural and righteous
law in the making of the sexes. Filled
with the beauty of discovery which she
found reflected as truth in her womans
institution she appealed to the members
of her family for confirmation, and was
met by the male portion with volley
of ridicule which completely annihilated
her discovery and set her back into the
shadows of approved conventionality,
wondering why that which seemed so
fitting in queen should be such an un-
pardonable offense in a woman. In due
time that young girl married, not the
husband of her own choosing, but one
whom conventional ideas of propriety
thrust upon her, and the sequel is an
everyday story,
When Queen Victoria chose for herself
a husband she did so that the law of ma
ture might be satisfied in congenial COM
panionship and royal family be perpet-
uated for the throne in Eneland-in
other words, to fulfill the functions
which, in her high estate, she shares in
common with every woman. The best
sentiment in man crowns woman queen
in her own right. Is it not fitting when
she comes face to face with the demands
of nature and recognizes the promptings
of the still small voice, that he accord
60 her the queens prerogative?

reproducing the following from

Every county in the Fifth

faith repudiated the action of

ing for bi-metallism, for good
government, and against traf-
ficing in offices for personal
elevation. Two years ago every
county in the district was anti
Democratic, and most Of them
were republican. This year,
republicanism has been de-
defeated. Tom Settle has been
shown that the people will not
tolerate a gcld~bug in congress,
and the district will be repre-
scented by patriotic democrats
and populists. 1t is the only
district in the state where those
advocating silver put it above
