Carte Blanche For Dinner.

He is statesman who has not yet won
national recognition, but he will be found
at the south end of the capitol this time
next year doing all he can to make start
that way. He is man of large means
and believes that wealth producing brains
are the only kind worth mentioning. In
asmuch as he began business with nothing
and had 81, 100000 by the time he was 40,
it is fair to suppose he had barrel of
brains.
Two nights ago he wanted to dine few
friends of his in regal splendor, and, sus-
pecting that a Washington hotel dinner,
unless it is prepared for the occasion, is
not of the regal splendor variety, he called
on the hotel clerk to confer with him. He
told him what kind Of dinner he want
ed, and then he proceeded to enumerate
all the Details just as people Of that kind
always do, mostly on the suppositon that
they know more than anybody else does
The clerk listened for some time to all the
little details, and then he broke in.
Ny dear SIR" he said in the insinuat-
ing manner Of the hotel clerk, "may I
have carte blanche?''
The statesman staggered moment.
"Of course, Of course" he assented Wig
orously, "you can have anything you
please If it's fit to eat, but I'm kind of
'fraid Of some Of these Frenchifled tixin's.
What want is good dinner"
And he got Washington Star.

Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1897-03-26

Mr.. Bowser wasn't quite dead, but a
glance at him would have satisfied any
enc that he was on his last legs.
"That's about ali for this evening"" said
Mrs. Bowser as she roseup, "but we may
resume tomorrow night. / shall be quite
busy for the next two hours, Mr.. Bowser,
and if anyone calls you can say I'm out.
In case you so desire, my lawyer will see
your lawyer in the morning. Good night,

And when she had gone, Mr.. Bowser
opened and shut his eyes, opened and
shut his fingers, crossed and uncrossed
his legs, stood up and sat down. 1t was
no use, however. He couldn't make it
out. He mad either fallen off the roof of
house or tumbled down deep we'll and
had been half killed or half drowned. By
and by he crept up stairs and tumbled
into bed, and two hours later, when Mrs.
Bowser looked in on him, there was a
scared look arond his mouth and a curl
to his back hair, although he was sound
asleep. Mr.. Bowser had simply been

THE JURY DISAGREED.

Eleven of the Good Men and True Lacked
Legal Evidence.
I had been down in the mountainous
regions of Tennessee for my health and
made great many pleasant acquaintance
among the strange people of that section.
Nothing of an exciting nature occurred
until the earlier part of October, when one
of the men of whom / had seen good
deal was arrested on the charge of selling
BOTTLES Of moonshine whisky at fair.
There seemed no chance of clearing him,
but bright young lawyer undertook his
defense and handled 1T like veteran. The
case on the part Of the government was
made. A bottle of whisky that the &C.
cused had sold was offered in evidence, and
a dozen witnesses swore that they had
seen him disposing of like bottles.
The prisoner was not placed upon the
stand, and no one was called to testify in
his behalf, grew indignant at this ap-
parent betrayal of his cause and ventured
to whisper to the young attorney that he
should at least make showing. But he
knew his business. Solemnly addressing
the court, he said:
"Your honor, there has not been one
word of proof offered, aside from unsub-
stantiated statements, that the flask here
in evidence contains whisky, or that there
was whisky in any of the bottles my client
is said to have disposed of. !"
''The jury can take it with them and
determine for themselves" curtly inter
rupted the judge.
"That is entirely satisfactory, your
honor"
Though sent in time and again, the
jury found it impossible to agree and was
finally dismissed.
"What was the matter?'' ventured to
ask Of the foreman after it was all over.
"Waal, stranger, you noticed that pint
bottle we took in?'
Eyes. You were to find out what it
contained.

he had ter stop ter take breath, there

Wo,nan,s Crowning Glory.

You may sing in praise Of woman, from her
head unto her feet;
You may say she is vision that is more than
passing sweet;
You may speak Of her attractions, her allure
ments and her whims
ever dims,
But you fondly must acknowledge while your
soul in triumph crows
That a woman's crowning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
Just observe her in the morning, when the pa
per up she takes
When she sugars all the fshballs and puts
mustard on the cakes,
T through the mad preoccupation of her read
ing all aglow
OF the sacrihcial shirt waist and bonnet, don't
you KNOW
And it's certain by the glances she upon the
sheet bestows
That woman $ crowning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
There's gleam of exultation in her wild di-
lated orbs
When she conjures up the beauties of the ads
that she absorbs
She's delrious with rapture to her inner soul,
and that's
kaleidoscope of stockings and holocaust of
hats,
And with symphonies Of ribbons all her spirit
overfiows,
For a woman 3 crowning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
You may rave about her presence and her car
riage SO superb;
You may say that, like butterfly, she drifts
from curb to curb;
You may carol of her counsel and her influence
so swee,
And the light and airy music of the patter Of
her feet
But you'll have to still acknowledge, though
r in action or repose,
That woman s crowning glory is her bargain
counter nose

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman's main object Is to do things
differently
If the pews had softer cushions, men
would go to church more.
If girl has any little meannesses, they
will always crop out in game of cards.
Some women 8 idea of novelty Is to move
the furniture in the parlor all around every
week Or two.
Girls who part their hair on the side
ought to be made to marry men who part
their hair down the back of the head.
A girl can make more kinds Of fool Of
herself than young poll parrot.
The velvet on the peach may be pretty to
look at, but 1t sets your teeth on edge to
touch it.
No matter how sweet woman can ap-
pear at o'clock tea, her husband could
generally make you guess again.
Before girl gets married she never
thinks man has such thing as stom-
ach. After she's been married awhile she
wonders if he's got anything else. New

OF Duty.

1t is essential to the we'll being of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be eternally active, that
they should never go "off duty" If they
do, the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the i'm
purities that should be thrown off by the
bladder, and both organs suffer in or.
ganic health from their inaction, and
incur dangerous maladies. Among these
are Bright's disease OF the kidneys,
diabetes, retention of the urine, gravel,
dropsy, etc. These are no trif1es, but
obstinate diseases, developing rapidly
and terminating too often fatally. To
prevent or check them, the safest and
most effectnal means is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which gives healthful
impetus to, but never excites the renal
organs, like the fiery, unmedicated stimu-
lants of commerce. Malaria, dyspepsia,
constipation, liver trouble, nervousness
and debility are remedied by the genial
medicine, useful in convalescence and old
age. wineglassful three times day.

En- VOYAGE
In the shadows coldly fitting,
Solemn as the tomb,
Charon in his boat was sitting
Wrapped in ashen gloom.
Through the gray shades softly cropping,
Round the shore he steered,
For pilgrim fondly hoping
In the mist he peered.
Soon youth both tall and stately
Did the oarsman greet;
Said he was at Harvard lately
As he took seat.
Charon saw him sigh and shivor
On those murky shores,
While he pushed out in the river
And resumed his oars.
In tho silence all unbroken,
Desolate, supreme,
Not syllable was spoken
All was like dream.
Through the leagues Of gray unending
Still the pilgrim lone
At the oars watched Charon bending
For the great unknown.
Charon, swaying backward, forward,
Onward urged his bark,
And was moving surely shoreward
O'er the current dark.
Then the pilgrim, wan and weary,
Broke the mystic spell,
When his accents, faint and dreary,
On the waters fell.
And today tits not known whether
Charon made reply
When the student said, "You feather
Just q bit too highi"
