1t was a mistake. says the Detroit Free
Press, for the man who had Travelled much

steal friend, who accompanied him, to wear
the uniform that distinguished him at
home as leader of the local brass band.
The old tourist had many times found hos
pitality at the house Of "a grizzled settler,
who seemed TO prosper in spite of the fact
that he did not do much in the ordinary
agricultural lines A rain had been failing,
and when the visitors reached the house
they were wet to the skin.
Cant you give us something to drink?'
asked the old acquaintance.
The host stroked his beard, shook his
head and said:
I'm sorry. folks, but there amt a drop
OF liquor in the place. Amt none no-were's
near here"
1t was the first time in long acquaint-
ance that such a drought had manifested
itself, and the tourist said:
We're all friends here, and nothing
goes any further We'd like a taste of

He left the room and soon drove around
from the barn with his wagon.
I'm goin' now,' he said, as he put his
head into the door.
The trip would take an hour and three
quarters at least. and the visitors settled
themselves to wait. 1t was not more than
twenty minutes, however, till the noun
taineer drove up. His horses looked per-
fectly fresh. He lifted a demijohn from a
corner of the wagon and held II up. The
contents proved to be Of excellent quality,
and he seemed pleased to have It appre-
ciated. Later in the evening his friend took
him aside and said:
What was the reason you couldn't let
us have drink without making US wait
for ft?''
1T couldn't be helped" he asserted,
gravely. 1T jes' couldn't be helped. 1t
seems like it allus happens that way.

house Is more than a hundred years old,

furnishings OF a long bygone time He
saw little company, and LEFT his own place
rarely. He had become, indeed, 70 great

a considerable fortune but actually as /
discovered after his death, was on the
verge Of bankruptcy.
I'm the course Of my necessary exami-
nation Of the house and It's contents, I
reached the room ne had occupied as
bedroom. II was az quaint and old-fash-
Toned as the rest Of the house, but, TO my
surprise, in the closet hung twelve or four
teen handsome suits Of clothes, none very
much worn, and all bearing the mark
Of a drst-class city tailor. Trunks IN the
room disclosed many sets OF expensive
underwear, 80 expensive, indeed. that few
city men think Of buying such, certainly
very few in the prOfusiOn that this man
had purchased them. In the trunks, too,
/ found hosiery proportionately abundant
and costly.
But the greatest surprise was when
I opened the deep drawer Of the Old-fash-
Toned bureau and found a pile Of fOur-in-
hand neckties Of really superb fabric and
exquisite colorings. They were Of satin,
silk, and brocade, and of every tint known;
they had been worn, evidently, but with
such care that they were still fresh and
almost Ike new. BY actual count there
were 10l Of these ties. all bearing the i'm
print Of a famous hlgh-class nfanufac-
turer. Ny surprise was increased when,
among the bills presented to the estate, l
found one from this maker, showing that
these ties were not paid for, that they
cost 81 apiece, and were nearly all in
cluded in one order Of four or five months
before the death of its giver.
Nothing could seem more homogeneous
and unexpected than that this lonely old
man who lived in the simplest fashion in
other respects should have had and graft
fed, far beyond his means, this taste for
expensive clothing"

From the Boston Budget.
We're a very queer lot as we toss on the
ball,
Without knowing the why or the where
fore we're on it,
We do things that are noble and things
that are small,
As we take off a, hat or we put on a
bonnet.
But what a fine place would this hemis-
phere be,
A haven of bliss within every ones
reaching,
If only we could in a minute agree
To stick to good practice as well as good
preaching.
The clergyman then would live up to his
cloth,
The deacons would give full quart to
the sinner,
The boarding house dame would not
weaken. her broth
Nor furnish tough fowl for the tooth
less ones dinner.
The lawyer would e'er to his client be
true,
The socialist sure would refrain from
his screening,
If with flowers of virtue our pathways
we'd streW,
And stick to good practice as well as
good preaching.

An Alligator. and Dog storv

As a deal to the frequent stories of
the hair-breadth escapes from wide-jaw-
ed alligators. says the Chicago Record
comes the following story from a hunter:
remember crossing a stream in the
Eermillon country a number Of years be-
lore the craze for alligator hides had
struck the country. I entered a skiff and
when about halfway over my dog, which
had forgotten came bounding after me
and leaping into the water began to
swim across after the boat Almost i'm
medlately several alligators, lying with
the tips OF their noses above the surface
began to move after the dog and soon
came within few feet of the animal
He realized that he was being chased
and proceeded to turn the tables BY chas-
ing them. He barked and turned to make
way. ~
Well, the dog and the saurians kept up
this performance until the former had
crossed the stream. The alligators seem
cd to be afraid to come within biting dis
lance, although it would have been i'm
possible for the dog to have injured them
Ihey were simply afraid, that's all. ana

1r. Stevenson Has n Grievance.


Mr.. Stevenson. the Vice President. ap-
pears to be burdened with gfievaRos: He
is in Chicago. but his rooms are not crowd
ed by eager and enthusiastic delegations
telling him that he is the idol of the
democracy and predicting that he will
be nominated for President. Nobody
seems particularly anxious to bring him to
the front as a presidential candidate.
There is no doubt, however. that for many
months he nursed the belief that he was
the coming standard bearer of the demo-
cratic party, and that when the national
convention met he would have a presl-
Dental boom Of such proportions that
other candidates would hesitate to enter
the contest for the nomination. How
great, therefore, must be his disappoint-
ment to find. on his arrival in Chicago,
that If he was ever thought of in con-
nection with the presidency he has been
so completely forgotten that few care to
do him honor.
He was in Washington the night be-
fore he started for Chicago, and a spe-
cial from that city describes him as a
broken hearted, disappointed man. He is
reported to have said to a prominent
democrat: Il will not conceal from you
that I am bitterly disappointed, but I feel
more the mean and contemplate manner
in which 1 have been deserted by the men
who for years have called themselves my
friends than do the change in my polit-
ical prospects"
It seems from what Mr.. Stevenson SAID
that he was told by Senators Blackburn.
Vest Harris, Jones and other democratic
siIverite senators to keep his mouth shut.
that everybody who had any influence
knew he was for free silver coinage. and
that he was the dark horse that would
amaze the country by winning the nom
nation He was their candidate for Pres
ident, they told him. and they would see
to it that he was brought forward in good
time.
Mr.. Stevenson followed their advice.
While Bland and Boies and the rest of the
candidates were talking he was chuezling
to himself over their folly and quietly
enjoying the thought Of the sensation that

parties. and otherwise conduct themselves
in the orthodox fashion, came together
after a separation Of probably only a
day or two at greatest They fell into
each others arms and kissed. While they
were stin in the act Of kissing. two other
women. who do semi-professional work
in an Office, met. They had not seen
each other for several months. But there
was no kissing, Notwithstanding they
were old acquaintance and good friends.
Instead. each grasped the others hand,
and there was some vigorous pump-hand-
ling for about half minute. during which
precisely such salutatlons as men use
were exchanged. The first pair of women
kissed, as is customary; why did not the
latter pair follow suit?
