QUICK CHANGES.

New York Tribune: Quick changes Of
fortune and occupation l had always I'M
derstood to be a feature Of American
life said a young Englishman yesterday,
''but I was astonished last week in Texas,
as we'll as amused, by a revelation con-
corning the life of a chance acquaintance
l made there. He was a Well-dressed,
and seemingly well-educated Bostonian,
travelling for a manufacturer of agrlcul-
tural machinery, and put on a good many
airs. ] met him in the town of Bowie,
Montague county, and thought him rather
a superior man for a drummer. We were
drinking at the bar when in came a rough
rancher, and, seeing the Boston man,
slapped him heartily on the shoulder and
asked him to drink. The hardware trav-
eler declined %haughtily, saying: Excuse
me, sir, l never drink with strangers
"'Oh, we're not exactly strangers, pard-
ner,' retorted the cheerful Texan. I re-
member when you We're through here last
summer
81 never was here before in my life,
SIR answered the drummer, with Offend
ed dignity.
Just then two more Texans came in,
and the first one turned to them for cor
roboration.
"'Haven't we all seen this gentleman
before?' he asked.
Looking the man carefully over, the
other two said:
"tSure, Bill. He was through here last
summer leading a dancing bear.
And in spite of my Boston friends de-
malls / found out that the Texans We're
right"

Mary or with Daisy was also a regular
visitor at Miss Malcolm's on Fridays.
What is the matter with Scott?' be-
came a general question on all sides.
Scott heard of all this. 1t CALLED him
and alarmed him. He was afraid it
would get to the ears of Kate Mariner.
Still he had faith in Rates brother, and
he was conscientious. So he perseVered
in his Investigations.
Have you heard about Scott?" Mar,
ner quietly asked his sister one day, when
her ill-received lover had not appeared
before her for five weeks.

is there to hear about Scott?'
Everybody is talking about him and

And when Scott had finished his dinner
and withdrawn with a pipe and Mariner

Scott did not seem either abashed or
afraid. In fact he jumped jubilantly and

"Who sent you to kick me? Did she?

You do. Ell? Well, she doesn't. ] wish
you would give me some explanation of
your neglect to take to her-of this sud-
den and unmerited GOODNESS. What does
it mean, sir?'
I'll tell you what, old man." said Scott,
You go and make explanations toto,
say Daisy Maury. I think she'll do for
you to explain to. You might drop in on
Mary Winkworth, and then you could &C

at have one strong objection to all you

long legs in the direction of the fire ana
carefully posing the heel of his LEFT foot
on the toe of his right. MY one strong
objection to you as a class is, that you are
brutally selfish"

very much younger. and whose race was
almost entirely lacking in the matter OF

rather a large accusation, coming from
from an obstinate old bachelor?"
"Ha!-There it is, you see. You first
assume that old bachelors are selfish, as
a class. which lis absurd, and then you as
sumo thai l belong to that class from
choice. 1 tell you. Scott, Loves blindness
means a lot more than people think. One
thing it means is, that people who are IN
love don't see anything that doesn't con-
tribute to their own self-esteem-mutua
self-esteeln-and dissatisfaction. Who
told you that I could cease to be an old
bachelor if l chose?'
Nobody told me so, Mariner. But
surely there isn't any financial obstacle
to your marrying"
"Ha! There you are again. Is there

"NOne whatever. Haven't l Just asSur'

railroad man, who has the reputation as
a practical joker, came along, his thin,
wrinkled face indicating that he was
deeply absorbed in the serious problems
of his business, but as he caught sight of
the upturned hat his eyes twinkled and
he quickly tossed some coins into it.

young man, almost gasplng with indlg-

railroad man, without b%etraying the
slightest amusement, except in the
twinkling of his eyes, and he passed on.
Some children scrambled for the coins
as the young man emptied them from his
hat and hurried on to escape the laughter
of the crowd.

He was to find a young oma to whom
Mariner should pay his addresses, and
Mariner was, in turn, to help IN his suit
with Kate. The bargain was struck, and
Scott in all conscientiousnesS set about
doing his part.
Blu the consequences were unfortunate
first.
Scott was too conscientious. That was
where the trouble came in. Instead Of
looking about for here and there a nice
girl, of whom there Were many in that
neighborhood. he made close and careful
: scrutiny Of one young woman after an
other. concerning her ways, her tastes,
her habits of life.
Now a man cannot know much Of a
girl whom he does not see tete-a-tete. If
you want to thoroughly make a girls ac-
uuaintance. you must call on her at her
own nome.
This was the beginning of the trouble.
and the first symptom of 1t was when
young Spooner-whose name was no
fault of his-began looking askanse al
{ poor Scott. Spooner was not engaged
to Jessie Malcolm exactly, but he wanted
to be. Nothing could ave been more as
siduous han Spooner's attentions to
Jessie, and she, on her part, was compla-
cent enough. Things were at that pass
| when the young man had no formal right
to object because another young man
called once a week on Miss Malcolm, and
yet hife himself aggrieved. Knowing
that he had no right to demonstrate

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.
NO FORMAL CONFERENCE ON ALASKAN
BOUNDARY QUESTION.
ATTENTION GIVEN TO YELLOW FEVER


CAsEs-MRs. MKINLEY IMPROVING.
Hotel Champlain. ~ Y, July 31-The story
IN n New-York morning paper to-day to the
effect that there is a possibility OF meeting
between President Mckinley and Sir Wifrid
Laurier Premier Of Canada, at point near
the Canada line to confer on the Alaskan
boundary dispute. IL hardly worth denying
The only possible excuse for the publication OF
such story Is the fact that Sir Wilfrid Laurier
is expected to visit the Hotel Champaign Tor a
stay Of couple Of weeks. after the Canadian
Parliament edjourns, which will probably be IN
about one week II he should come here ~ is
barely possible he and the President may talk
over the Alaskan boundary question IN an IN
formal way, but that any formal conference
will be held on that subject at some point near
the Canada line" is not true.
The discovery that there are several cases OF
yellow fever at Hampton. Va. has been brought
TO the attention of the President here. He has
been kept fully advised as to the situation. and
has directed that every possible precaution be
taken to prevent the spread Of the disease.
The President had busy day This morning
after dlsposing of the huge pile Of mail matter
that had accumulated, he went for a walk with
Dr. Rixey The air was keen and clear, and they
had to walk at brisk pace to keep warm. After
luncheon he went for drive with Colonel
lie Grand 3. Cannon, who brought handsome
pair of bay horses over on the steamer from his
summer home in Burlington, VT The President
himself held the reins, and he surprised the
other guests Of the hotel by the skill he dis
played in handling them. Toward evening he
took another short walk with DR.. Rixey.
The President is much gratifed at the rapidity
with which Mrs. Mckinley is improving In
health, and shows 1t in his smiling face and
cheerful manner. Vice-President Hobart Will ar
rive here on Saturday from Long Branch for an
indefinite stay He will travel In the private car
of President Olyphant, of the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad. Tomorrow there are TO be a
golf tournament and a baseball game on the
hotel grounds, and the President will probably
attend them both.
