The Shorn "Colonel" and the Wrecked
"Captain" Dine Together.
Two men who had been chums in q
western town before financial hurri-
cane hit it met for the first time in
years In a Sixth avenue eating house
the other day. In the days of their pros
perity one Of them was political lever
and was called colonel. He had been on
the governors staff. The other in some
way had acquired the title Of captain.
Both had front seats in every event Of
the town in which they had lived. The
governors ornament is now plain
bookkeeper in Broad street. The other
man is a dry goods clerk.
After greetings, explanations and a
few mournful references to persisted de.
lights, they had mbination meal, and
if you don't know what that is you have
never had any trouble, and any one who
casts shadow is worse than heather.
When the meal was over, the two old
friends walked out and stood for few
minutes under the splutter Of an arc
light. As they were parting the man
who used to ride tho big bay horse In
the governors parade, and who had
commanded the populaoe of his town to
stand back, said In low, mournerlike
tone:
eff you come to see me, don t call
me colonel. Nobody knows me as colo

salary"
The arc light spluttered again as the
little man replied in a squeaky, hall
bedroom voice:

me, Say, you'll That's what everybody
calls me in the store"
"Well, goodby, captain"

A Mexican Custom on Good FRIDAY.

Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson contributes to
The Century an article Oh "Maximil-
ian's Empire" one Of a series devoted
to the French intervention in Mexico.
In describing the scenes that followed
the siege of Puebla Mrs Stevenson says:
IL was a Mexican custom on Good
Friday to burn Judas in effigy on the
Plaza Mayor. Judas was manikin
made in the shape of the person who
happened to be most unpopular at the
time. 1t was quite admissible to burn
Judas under different shapes, and some
times these summary autos dafe were
multiplied to suit the occasion and the
temper of the people. AT the same time
rattles were sold on the streets and uni.
versally bought alike by children and
adults, by rich and poor, to grind tho
bones of Judas and the Objectionable
noise-seoond in hideousness only to
that of our own sending off Of tirecraclS.
ers on tho Fourth Of July--was reli-
giously kept up all day. In tho year Of
our Lord 1868 Judas was burned in
Mexico OH the Plaza Mayor under the
shapes of General Forey, Napoleon III,
and last, but not least, M. Dubois de
Saligny, who especially was roasted
with will amid the wild excavations
Of the populace.
