The wife of a congressman at Washing
ton told a friend how she came near miss
ing a social event owing to her own kind
ness. A number of years ago. she says.
and was very anxious that her silk waist.
which she was to wear on the occasion.
should be finished and delivered to her in
time. As II happened. that afternoon. il
began raining heavily. The dressmaker be-
came anxious, as she had promised to have
the waist at the place in time and did not
know at first what to do about it. Her
father. who had been in the ~canvassing
business. took the waist in his canvassing
so that 1t would not get wet. He arrived at
the house. rang the doorbell; a window in
the second story went up and a head was
stuck out. The person to whom the head
belonged stated that a number of peddlers
had visited the house during the day. and
she had been greatly bothered by them. >,
I'VE don't want to buy anything said
the woman at the window, so you had
better go away. There have been too many
people here already to-day who wanted to
sell things, and we are sick OF them" An
other woman who appeared at the window
echoed the same sentiments.
AS the rain was dripping down on him,
the olo gentleman felt his dander rise at
this, md, bracing up. said:
well, madam. / have the silk waist
which my daughter has just finished in this
yalise. / am no canvaSser. She sent 1t.
fearing the rain would continue, as she did
not wish to disappoint YOU
with that he marched down the steps,
not waiting for the admonition from above
straight back to the dressmaker's with il.
The owner of the waist was compelled to
send for it afterward or miss the recep-
ton.

Mr.. 10 ENJOYS HIMSELF.
Alley "L' Passengers Startled by tn
Antics of an Indian Filled
With 'Fire Water"

Win III "ateEs
From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t was on the night the associated tribes
from Carlisle smote the Illinois to the earth
and scalped them at the Coliseum. 1t was
a few hours before that fact, but the rep
resentative of the visiting Indians was so
confident of victory that he celebrated In
advance. His brothers might grovel in the
dust before the paleface On the gridiron.
He was out all alone for a good time and
he had it. Incidentally he was about the
only person among those present who did
have a good time.
1t was just at the time when downtown
Chicago starts for home after the work of
the day. The alley l. trains were crowd
ed by the time they got as far as State and
for this. He occupied the platform OF one
of the cars and was the direct means Of
reducing the number of passengers who
shouldered and wide faced. He had all the
earmarks of the wild. untamed Apache.
He certainly was Of the hill tribes. He was
also filled with joy and fire water"
AS the train rounded the curve to make
the Randolph and Fifth avenue station the
air was filled with a peculiar piercing trem-
it be the yell of the college of heralds Of
old Geronimo or Chihuahua. 1t rose like a
wall and ended in q, sharp. barking yelp.
on the platform As the train slowed up at
the station Mr.. Lo leaned far over the gate.
waved a VIDE SlOucn nat ana once more
yelled his yell. That was enough. Most OF
the passengers seeking the train fell back
respectfully and permitted that savage
looking Indian to hold the fort.
Seeing that he had scared the paleface
right in his own home. the Indian laughed
loudly, yelled some more and then danced
a few steps of the Omaha dance, chanting
the while in n peculiar droning manner.
Then he would sing a few words of some
topical song of the day; make a speech in
