ONLY A QUARTERBACK.
He Looked Like /. Dude. mt 1vh..
He Lifted sometAias
Cane Loose.

The old saying that "appearancesare are
deceptive" was very tritely exempli-
fed one night recently, says the fhila-
delphia Times. Owing to the DELAY
caused by the snowfall, the cars of the
Seventeenth street line that run down.
Chestnut were blocked for some time
in the northern part Of the city. When
the trst OF line OF ten appeared atthe
junction, they again found progress
1mpeded. This time it was the switch-
Ing rail which was frozen tight, and
the united efforts Of the motormen
could not move it. There were not
many people in the cars, butthose who
were each in turn applied his strength
to the switching iron. Even burly
negro of Brobdignangian proportions
failed ignominiously. There remained
only one of the crowd who had not
made the attempt, and he was, in the
parlance of the street, "a bloomin'
dude" he had spent his time in the
car attentively chewing the end Of his
stick and reading the advertisements
with self-conscious air. He was like
unto the flowers, gorgeously apparsled
A long brown paddock coat surmount.
ed an unimpeachable dress suit and
. large bunch Of violets dangled from
his buttqnhole. He got off and gazed
dreamily At the proceedings. When
the negro failed, divesting himself Of
the long coat, he threw it to q motor
man, and, grabbing the iron with ap-
parent ease, he forced back the rail
and held it calmly in place while the
seven cars passed overit. Then for the
first time the people noticed an un.
looked-for breadth OF shoulders and
depth of chest. "say. mister, amt you
sandow" queried little gamin. "Not
quite" laughed the dude. ST only
played quarter for Yale couple Of
years." which again goes to prove that
appearances are not only deceitful, but
Entruthful

Hit In The hack.

In his "Corean Sketches" Mr.. Gale
tells this story of Chinese battle:
"Most of those who after the battle
came to the dispensary in Mukden for
treatment were wounded in the back.
How is it that sons Of the gods are
wounded in tho afterparts only 2 osked
the foreigner. 1t looks as II they had
run from tho barbariaps.' We ad-
yanced all right said the Chinaman,
according to military methods. Then
we put on fierce faces, like Che-kal-
Yang, the god of war, certain that
the Wo-Jen would run, as they would
have done II they had not been hope
less savages, unacquainted with Chi
nese characters. We rushed on them,
breathing forth Are. but they moved
not. Then our general shouted Vie
tory!' for we had paralyzed them with
our boldness. But suddenly long
row of guns was raised like one arm,
and, immortal gods! such dastadly
way to fight I never saw! Iknow not
why we were wounded in the back"

A STOLEN oRcHIn
Why Representative John Alien MD
Not Radse His Hat to
Q LadY.

Watching Representative John Allen
OF Tupelo, when he made a speech in
the house recently, was reminded Of
tho time when he burglarized flower
from the botanical gardens, says thu
Washington Post. He was escorting
young woman from the west, and she
went fairly daft over the orchids. j
don't believe she had ever seen any he.
fore, and, oht she did want ono "a
much.
OF course, there are rules like unto
tho lews Of the Aledes end the Persians
against picking Uncle sam's postes, but
girls. even from the west, usually get
what they want II they want 1t badly
enough. Mr.. Allen gave an orchid stem
n deft touch. 1t broke. The blossoms
fell. Quick as thought he picked it
up before the guards eye caught sight
OF 1t and popped 1t into his hat. Then
the three visitors strolled out, and at
every door they ran into some young
woman from the south. Mr.. Aliens
hand flew to his hat brim, but he re.
men,bered in time. For the first and
only time in his life John Aiken ac-
knowledged n lady's bow with covered
head. His face was study IN crimson,
but he dared not raise his hat.
dare say he has forgotten all about
IT long before this, but the girl from
the west has that orchid somewhere
among her souvenirs to this day.
