SMALL SlPPERS.

They Were Charming s"cfnl Affairs
hut Somehow Things Got Mixed.
From the Chicago News
Over on the north side there dwell two
Young married people. whose fiat Is great
resort for hosts of those who knew them In
their days of single blessedness and now
eIyy and admire their joint career.
Small suppers, participated In by three OF
four of their cronies, are specially of this
couple and they have ready for immediate
use at all times a set Of 1.-The cutest lit.le
dishes" as their girl friends declare, and
various pitchers, cans. &C., for use in the
TRANSFORMATION of refreshments from the
neighboring restaurant. About the most
useful things in the cupboard are three
large jug handled cans, which used to hold
oysters and are now of utmost service
whenever the coterie gathers around the
festal board. A night or so ago the young
couple expected a few callers and made
large cans, the husband sailed out and
shortly returned. carrying can of chicken
soup, a can of beer and can of hot coffee
While waiting for the guests the wife,
who was arranging the table, thought 1t
would not be bad idea to sample the re-
freshments contained in the cans. She
took three large glasses and poured out
soup, coffee and beer IN swift succession.
~ that moment the door Well rang. She
decided that it would be best to return
the samples just poured ont to the cans,
and started to do so. And she didn't do a
thing but get her dates mixed and pour
the glassful of soup into the coffee can.

BY the above table 1t will be seen that
April makes the best showing of any
month Out of ten wheels reported stolen
nine were recovered June comes with the
next best showing. all but four stolen
machines being recovered. October has a
splendid showing. over two-thirds of the
stolen wheels being recovered. which is
very good considering the large number re-
ported January makes the worst showing
with cnly one wheel out of eight being re-
covered. Taking the police estimate of 16s
wheels recovered. and seventy-one as not
recovered. it will be found that the per
centage of recoveries is fraction over 90
per cent. or nearly seven-tenths of all the
wheels stolen. The percentage of wheels
stolen and not recovered is fraction over
.a' per cent. This is a remarkably good
showing. Allowing wheeling popua ton
OF io.HS. just 10000 less than the estimate
of Major Moore, ii is found that the per-
Centage of wheels stolen is a fraction over
one-half per cent of the entire number.

A Hint to Railroad Managers,

From the Providence Journal.
The copper sheathing recently put on a
Shore Line passenger car is considered SUI
perior to paint and varnish, looking as well
as polished lumber and wearing as long as
the coach is in service aluminium is about
as cheap as copper and would make a very
conspicuous sheathing. IA train plated with
alumni um would get more advertising than
the ghost train of the New England. which
color. few years ago the Old Colony OH
tained a great deal of excellent advertising
by offering prizes for the best name for a
new suburban station. A premium for the
most appropriate name for an aluminium
train running between Boston and New
York would attract more attention to the
Shore Line than the millions expended on
grade crossing and terminal work.
