The Extent of His Superstition.

To little extent l am superstitious,
says Virginian. l moved into a new
house a couple of years ago, and some
how things seemed to grow worse con-
stantly. First it was one thing, and
then it was another. l mentioned the
matter to an old cOlored auntie. who
did our laundry work, and she told me
it was because there was no toad frog
in the cellar. She said it was good luck
for a new house to have toad in the
cellar and that many builders always
left a frog in the cellar when they fin
ished a house. AS it was such a sim
pie matter to set things right l caught
toad and put it in the cellar, and,
strangely enough, things began run
ming all right Immediately Since then
my cellar has never been without a
toad frog, and to that extent l am SUI
perStitiOus.

GIadstone,s Denial.

There was a report not long ago that
Mr.. Gladstone was learning to ride the
bicycle, and its contradiction is the sig
nal for Mr.. James Payn to drop into
poetry:
Mr.. Gladstone denies he has taken to
hiking;
Nor are We surprised it was not to his
liking.
Though from Office and power he be a
receder,
He will ne'er be Wheeler who has been
Leader.

were in profusion about the walls.
The music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Fifth Regiment band and
was very pleasing and the band was
highly complimentei on the perfect time
and unison OF all the selections. The new
waltzes and two-steps played were well
received.
The Light Guard fully sustained it's
reputation az entertainers last evening
and the next social TO be given May

party came to an end at o'clock.
