THE best dinner yarn I ever heard. )"
observed a woman at a Boston dining par
~ recently was the story Of a young man
who was much in love with a certain
young lady, but hadn't the courage TO
tell her So one evening they were dining
out together. and it so happened that
hated rival took the girl in TO dinner.
Something I'm the rivals manner made the
b4shful lover suspect that the rival in
tended 70 propose 10 the girl that very
evening.
As thu dinner progressed the lover be-
came absolutely sure of this. and, spurred
on by necessity. he resolved to put his own
fortune 10 test. and at once. Tearing a
leaf from his note book ne accordingly
scrubbed a line or two. folded il and gave
it 10 the nearest servant with "a hand
that to the lady I'm blue. Crhere was for
tunately but one such at the table, or
matters might have been complicated)
The girl received the note. opened it, and
read: VIII YOU be my wife, followed by
his name. lie had forgotten TO send the
pencil. however. But the girl was as ready
as tho man was lacking, and she turned
TO the servant and said. calmly: Just tell

A car THAT WEARS sPECTACLEs.

A CAT THAT WEARS SPECTACLES.
A correspondent sends 10 the Phiadei-
phia Times an account of a handsome
cat which wears spectacles-not very
surprising thing i'm this day, when dogs
wear rubber boots and carry umbrellas.
The cat, whose name is Max. belongs TO
lady. as may be supposed She has had
him for many years and lately began to
notice that his sight was failing. She
took him at once 10 an ocuiist. That
worthy practitioner declined at first TO
have anything TO 90 with such q patient.
For one thing. as ne said, he did not know
how 90 go 20 work.
SO this point the lady came to the doc
tors relief An imitation of a mouse
was concocted. and 10y holding this before
the cats eyes at varying distances. the
doctor finally secured a pretty good dag
uosis
AS result the cat was by and by fitted
with pair of gold-bowed spectacles. and
now not only looks as wise as an owl, but
can see almost or quite as well as ever. .

20 deal with Turkey When the turbulant
and malignant and unspeakable parsonage
who has been making half Europe's trou-

due liberties with the tiny playhouse
kingdom. Greece neither addressed long
and solemn communications 10 St. Peters
burg and Berlin and Paris. nor sent sol

gage i'm formal and interminab.e discus
sfous out Of which nothing could possibly
come. Greece buckled on her armor-

and proceeded forthwith TO swat the UNI
speakable one and pull his hair, while
Europe went on so,emnly calling him bad
names.

The January number of Serb
ner's Magazine marks the begin
ming of it's second decade with an
entirely new dress Of type. From
the very first issue Scribner 8
has been an accepted leader in
modern magazine literature and
arr. The plans for 1897, as already
announced, are the most extensive
and attractive ever prepared for
this magazine. While always
choosing the best, independent Of
nationality, it is to be noted that,
for the coming year, the leading
features Ct Scribner's will be
American. Both of the serial
stories are by American authors
Richard Harding Davis and W. D..
Howells. Charles Dana Gibson,
the distinguished American artist
in black and white, willcontribute
series of six ARTICLES on London
contributing both the text and
illustrations. There will be
notable series of articles also on
The Conduct Of Great Business in
America, and on Undergraduate
Life in American Colleges. The

NO PARTHENON THIS SEASON.

St. Paul Dispatch: The gentle
winds blowing from the vernal
sun that beamed upon St. Paul
this morning, finally determined
the Abandonment of the ice palace
for this winter. The directors,
with their treasury OVERLOOKING
with the money contributed for
the purpose, have daily consulted
the thermometer. barometer and
the weather bureau generally, and
have cast longing eyes toward that
quarter from whence usually pro-
ceeds the temperature absolutely
necessary to the carnival success.
The open aspect of the Mississippi
this morning, however inviting it
may be, is not in every respect
conducive to the erection of a
Parthenon; on the contrary, it is
more suggestive of rowing and
yachting, while the softly moving
breezes are positively balmy in
their temperature. Four weeks of
stiff, crisp ozone are necessary to
the construction of the proposed
Parthenon, and those four weeks
seem doomed never to come. So
the directors have abandoned the
ice palace, and will reluctantly re-
fund the money so literally con-
tributed. They will fold away
their uniforms of flannel and pre-.
pare. to don linen, the only garb
apparently suited to this salubrlous
section of the banana belt. Gone
are our old.tlme winters Of four
months duration. There is no
Northwestern winter now. True,
we have a few days in which the
vlolets do not spring up in Summit
avenue terraces, but they are so
sandwiched in with sunny weeks
that the ice germ is killed IN born.
ing. Ice palaces belong to winter,
but winter does not belong to the
Northwest.

The second day of the battle every

taken after enormous sacrifice of life,
but Colonel Post of the Fourth corps
offered to make the attempt with his
brigade if we'll supported. Steedman's
oolored troops were placed in position
to storm the hill on the flank of Posts
column. Posts line was quickly re.
pulsed, but the colored men had started
on the run and We're too excited to give
up the fight before closing with tho
enemy. Their brigade leader, Colonel
Thompson, knew that he was expected
alone; but, seeing that his men were ul-
der Roadway, he gave the signal to
charge the intrenchments. In passing
over an open field the ranks were tro-

repulse of Post left tne enemy free to
concentrate their fire upon the colored
soldiers. Before they could be with

in the three regiments. The difficult
retreat under fire was made without
panic CT confusion. A little later in the
day the same battalion charged with re-
