AN uP-To-DATE YOUNG LADY.

A big and kindly policeman had a
little tot by the hand, and he was fol-
lowed by a crowd which pestered him
with suggestions until he more than
once showed signs of losing his natur-
ally good temper.
Some one had told him that the tiny
little girl who toddled by his side was
lost, and dozen or more knew that
her home lay in as many different d.
rections.
To all his questions the little one
would only reply
Mes hungry; me want something
to eat"
The bluecoat urged the baby girl to
tell him where she lived, and then
she only dragged at his big rough
hand, drawing him to the corner of the
street, where there was cake shop.
When they reached this the kind
hearted fellow took her in and bought
her plenty to eat out of his own pocket.
Then he again asked her where she
lived, but she still cried:-
Me . tullStyi me WdHlS u ulHh.
Back again the whole length of the
street went the pair, followed by the
crowd, until at another corner they
reached soda water fountain, and
there the little lost child was re-
galed with cooling drink.
Then as the policeman, failing to
find any one who could tell him whero
the child lived, was about to march her
to the police station, the little tot
smiled up into his eyes and said:-
Mes seepy now. Doodby. Me doin'
home"
She slipped into a doorway which
they had passed a dozen times, shout
Ing: Mamma! mammal Mes been
for a nice walk wiz a real live great
big cop!"
And the crowd CRIED "Does your
mother know yer out?" to the police
man.

Words of Sir Walter Besant.

Sir Walter Besant, writing in the
London Queen, says:
"a Spanish lady has written to the
editor Of the paper concerning certain
remarks of mine about the sympathies
of the English race. l am very sorry
that any words of mine should have
given offense to any Spaniard. His
tory, however, cannot be set aside out
of pollteness. The Spanish nation
has always shown many great and
noble qualities; never ut any time
have they failed to command the re-
spect of their enemies; but we cannot
help remembering that they were oul
enemies from the middle of the Six.

A Chance Meeting.

A plump and ruddy gentleman on a
bicycle rolled contentedly down Fif-
teenth Street the other afternoon. At
New York Avenue he met young
woman on a wheel, and turned sharply
aside to avoid collision. She tackled
In the same direction, saw her error,
and turned the other way just as the
plump gentleman acted on a similar
impulse. They wabbled, and then, just
in the nick of time, both dismounted.
The ruddy gentleman was purple with
rage.
Madam" he snorted, what on
earth do you mean? Did you want to
kill me?"
The young woman was in bit of a
rage herself. She remounted.
"Oh, dear, no." she said icily, as she
rolled away, Pm not the fool killer"

Ancient Marble Ouarries.

The ancient marble quarries in Syn
dada are again being worked. The
quarries are situate some 20 kiloms
from Karahissar, and the marbles,
called fhrygian, Mygdonians or Do
,imia, were in ancient Rome regarded
as emblems Of luxury and wealth.
Many sorts are found, namely, white
statuary marble of a remarkably fine
grain; a transparent marble similar to
onyx and also yellow, blue and gray
marbles, all very fine.

Sheep OF n Dead Shepherd.

A herdcr in charge Of flock Of
1000 sheep, which were grazing near
the base of the San Francisco Noun
tains, in Arizona, was killed by light
ming during terrific storm. which
visited that section about the LIST Of
August. As the hcrdcr was not cX-
pected TO come in with his sheep un-
til the lst of October, his absence dur
ing august and September attracted
no attention. When the middle Of
October came aud he did not show up.
messengers were sent out to find him.
After search Of somo days IN the
vicinity of where he was last seen the
remains Of camp were found under !,
tree, which had been riycn by light
ming.
\ further search revealed the bones
of u human being scattered about over
the ground. a rrospcctor who had
passed that way had camped fer :.
night with the man about the 1st of
August, and said the herd was then
moving northward This tree, around
which these articles were found. was
just about far enough north to have
been the next camping place, and
| when it was remembered that there
was a severe storm of thunder and
lightning in that section one night
about the time referred to. it was clear
that the man had made his camp un-
der this tree, and had been killed by
lightning and his body dcvourcd by
wolves. The sheep had never been
heard Of anil no trace Of them could
be found anywhere in that part Of the
country.
But now comes the strange part Of
the story. About two weeks ago a
herd of about 1000 sheep was found
on the plain in San Miguel County, in
this Territory. with 10 one in charge
of them. The parties in Arizona
heard of this fact, and wrote to an
officer in this Territory, giving their
marks and explaining how the sheep
could be identified. 1t was found be-
yond any doubt that this was the
herd that had disappeared from the
range in Arizona about the 1st of Au-
gust. The animals had been shifting
for themselves for more than three
months, and turned up at point
fully 800 miles from the place where
the herdcr was killed. They had
crossed the Rio Grand On the way

The Charming Woman lives in a
beautiful home She has three dcvo-
ted, unmarried brothers she has
plenty OF money. and She insists that
she is not ready to marry. The De-
voted Lover still waits. The reward
for his faithfuncss is Il dream Of the
future.
The lover lives sixteen miles from
the aristocratic little town where the
Charming Woman makes her home.
Twice every week he drives Owe: Tie

He has done this for sixteen years.
When this story was told 10 \ math

man he Il. once drew out his note book

figures. This is the result Of his cal
! collation.

Her Small Brother Told tho Secret.

For the last year or more two we'll
known members of the Marquette
Club, men in high feather everywhere
among the local Four Hundred. have
been calling on the same girl. They
paid her assiduous attention, took her
to the theatre, one as often as the
other, and Kept her acquaintances
guessing as to which one she would
choose for her matrimonial partner.
Two months ago the engagement was
announced to one of the two, and the
wedding will be one of the fashionable
functicas Of the early Spring. The
young man who came out oe the little
end of the horn has no hard feelings,
for he says it was an open race for the
prize, and each stood chance to win
it. 1t was only week or two before
the announcement of the engagement
that Beau No. 2 was noticed to have
withdrawn from the contest for the
fair ones hand. Being q good ma
tured fellow he is not averse to telling
the story Of how he found out that his
suit was hopeless.
The young woman in question has a
bright. entertaining little brother, Of
whom both the beaux were exceed .g-
ly fond, and who was very much de-
voted to both of them. One evening
the object Of their affection was up
stairs dressing, while the cast-off man
was down in the parlor having friend
ly chat with the youngster.
