A Nice Regiment.

Soldiers belonging to line regiments
are never tired of telling stories at the
expense of the militia. Here is one:
While a certain militia regiment was
encamped on well known common a
woman with her children came out
there for an outing. During the time
she was playing with the children a
militiaman. passing, stole a loaf and
ran off. The woman, observing him,
commenced calling:
'Stop. thief!"
The colonel WIS close at hand, and,
bearing the cry, rode up, asking the
reason.
THAT thief has stolen my loaf"
Never mind," said the colonel, Civ
ing her half crown. ''This will get
another for you. But for goodness sake
don't call Stop, thief' or shan't have
q man left in the regiment. London

1t is great piece Of nonsense to
attempt to bring about prosperity
by enacting a monopoly tariff. Our
country does not suffer from a flood
OF foreign ,,oods, nor from competi.
tion wit foreign manufacturers.
Our ruin and bankruptcy are owing
to the impov erishment Of the agri-
culturists. brought about by discard
ing silver as money and putting gold
att premium, and thus piling boun.
ties on our competitors abroad and
benefising the gold oligarchy at
home. Our own people have been
impoverished and sacrificed, and
made unable t. buy. Hence our
manufacturers lost our home market,
and lost prosperity. We must re.
store silver, abolish monopols
tighten. not increase, burdens, and
so relieve the people and bring back
prosperity.

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
70 Was Provided by st. Louis Man For
His Wife,s Feminine Friends.

- Was Provided by . st. Loais Man For
His Wife,s Feminine Friends.
A wealthy st. Louisan living in the
vicinity OF Lafayette park provided Q
novel form Of entertainment for his
wife's guests one evening. says the st.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edi.
fication Of score Of guests whom sho
intended to call together for an informal
evening. Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device Of converting the elegant
parlors into a gambling house pro tenn.
A faro bank. roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro.
curable, as the conferees we'll knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled. The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the introduction of a
pair of bulldogs, guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat in three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambi-
tious host, but his friend is a ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence lie always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be q failure
without those bulldogs.
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed to it
in an astonishingly short time and shar-
ed in the games with becoming vim. It
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror of the fair gres.s proved genuine.
The beasts yelped and growled and
showed other peculiarly canine symp-
toms Of "spoiling for fight" There
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi-
ano and card tables and chairs, con-
Quoting their retreat as from a mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to q novelty in entertain
ment unleashed the dogs. It was an ex-
citing climax to an original evening.
The dogs feasted for five minutes on
choice bits of each others anatomy.
The ladies screamed and the friend who
was consulted exulted in the success of
his novelty. When he was quite con.
vinced-and it took considerable time
to convince him-that the ladies' desire
for gore bad been fully gratified, he
doused the dogs into q convenient tub
OF water and separated them.
