PIE IN BOSTON.
The Experience OF Man From the West
Who Broke Into Society.


A well known man In his line of bust
ness has his Office in Park row. He for
merly lived i'm Boston, and before that he
had tried the vexations and uncertainties
| of one of the border cities when II was on
tho stop crest of the advancing wave. !"
He made the transfer directly from the
western decadence to the center of Guilt
waited gravity.
Il had never lived in the east, +" he said,
NOR lad my family. We concluded among
ourselves, in quiet way, that we would
follow the customs of the elect as far as
our means and opportunities would allow.
AS we used to say in Kansas City, il was
hard Shedding for some time. We made no
Roadway. My wife is n pretty good enter
tainer and does the social business for the
family. Whenever she concocted an after
noon tea or n dinner, she consulted with
me about the table, and always gave her
my idea, and then she did as she pleased.
But somehow we didn't seem to get i'm the
swim--or the family didn't OF course l
made acquaintance in business, but that
does not branch into society / was in
complaining mood one day when / was
with Boston man who had come TO DC
quite chummy with me in commercial
matters, and unburdencd myself TO him
about the exclusivencss of those whom we
had hoped to cultivate. l spoke of the
dimes we had given and Of the poor results
He asked me infinitely what we had had on
such occasions and called off every article
A" What kind of pic did you give 'emY
he asked.
'Piel' / exclaimed. you didn't sup
pose we would offer Boston people pie?
"Then he explained to me that that was
a mistake many western people who came
OF Boston made-that they thought pie
was too far west and vulgar But he as
sured me that Boston society had pie three
times day, and that though man and
his wife had every other requirement of
New England, and had not pie, they could
not win. / knew pic was a western staple.
In some sections out there pie comes first
and last, and is handed out between meals.
And we were warned that it was consid
cred plebeian in the east So we studiously
cut ii out of our social functions and came
very near being ostracized. AS soon as we
discovered the cause my wife got up din
ner that included every sort of pie she
knew anything about. l think she had u
cut of pie on her invitation, and a SOU
venir pie was given after the dinner to
each guest. From that on our social status
was established. OF course, pie is vulgar
in New York, but it is not bar within
itself. New York Sun.

DIDN'T GET HIS FURLOUGH.
Yet He Wanted 1t Worse Than He Ever
Wanted ANYTHING.

Judge North belonged to Wisconsin
regiment during the war, and served to
the end, barring such time as he was laid
up with wounds. He tells some pretty
good war stories, all of which lack the
heroic tinge so often met with. During
the war he only asked for a furlough on
one occasion, and then it was denied him.
1t seems he was warm personal friend
of the colonel commanding his regiment,
and the latter had repeatedly informed
him after he had served long time that
he would grant him ten days furlough
at any time requested. Shortly before
Sherman commenced his march to the sea
a sharp battle took place between the
division to which Judge North belonged
and heavy Confederate force.
Prior TO the battle every soldier knew
that the fight would be a desperate one
and that many would lose their lives In
following orders Judge North's regiment
formed the front line of the advance. The
situation these mon were placed in was
extremely perilous and every soldier could
see the danger for himself and few enter
tanned hopes of escaping alive While the
regiment was momentarily expecting or
ders to advance on the Confederate strong
hold, the colonel passed along the line
As no approached Judge North, the latter
saluted him and called out 20 those near
could hear him:
Colonel, have you not repeatedly told
me that could procure ten days fur
Tough at any time applied to you for the
same?"
The colonel, who was as pale az a ghost
himself, and probably as badly scared as
Judge North, replied rather besitatingly
that such was fact.
Then" said Judge North, "I want a
ten days furlough right now, and want
IL worse than ever wanted anything I'm
my life. - a--1t
The righteousness of such a request nm.

/. The "solid south.v

Owing to certain economic and political
conditions that are too familiar to be de-
tailed the states from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande for long period opposed a
united front to the advance of modern CIV
ilization, waged a protracted war for the
preservation of their own institutions and
the establishment of their autonomy, and
when defeated and restored to the Union
on a new basis gave their adherence so
entirely to one political party and to one
set of political principles as to earn for
themselves the sobriquet of the "solid
south" Now, "solid south" would seem
to presuppose a homogeneous southern
people coextensive with the geographical
or rather political area thus designated,
but to draw this inference would be to
make a mistake almost equal to that made
by the European who thinks Chicago q
three or four hours ride from New York
and confounds our eastern and western
populations. If political opinions and pref
udices be not taken into account, the typ
pical Charlestonian will be found to differ
as much from the average inhabitaDt of
Nashville as the typical New Yorker does
from his rival of Chicago. The Virginian
and the Georgian have points of contact,
TO be sure, but they differ radically in
many important respects just as radically
as citizen Of New Jersey does from a
citizen of Wisconsin.-W. =. Trent in At
lantic
