Her Age at Monte Carlo.

A curious story comes from Monte
Carlo the heroine of which has lost Il
large sum through excusable female
vanity. She entered the gaming saloon
while former friend of hers was win
ming in sweeping style that seemed
destined to break the bank.
II am SO glad to see you here, prince,
and in such luck, too" she exclaimed.
do tell me i lucky number. 1t is sure
to win, for You are now in the vein.
The prince generously placed d pile
of gold louis before the vivacious lady.
whose beauty had successfully defied
the effects of 36 winters and said:
''Put it all on the number Of your
years and reap golden harvest.
The lady reflected, hesitated and then
placed the pile on 81.
An instant later the, croupier sang
out:
"Thirtys six red wins!'
.'Heavens muttered the lady as
she tainted. 'Thirty-six is exactly my
age!"

The Popping stone.

1.-The popping stone marks the spot
where Sir Walter Scott asked Miss Car
penter to marry him. 1t is situated in
the beautiful valley of the Irthing, at
Gilsland, an inland watering place near
Carlisle The popping stone is visited
by many thousands during the summer
months, and, it is said, many a laggard
lover has had his courage screwed up to
popping point at this romantic spot.
In the immediate neighborhood may
also be seen "Mumps Ha, which Scott

Some Cases Of Kleptomania.


Here are some striking cases Of KEEP
tomania: A series of thefts was COM
mitted in some of the best houses in
New York. The culprit turned ont to
be young woman connected by birth
and marriage with the owners There
after, when from household which she
had visited anything was missed, the
owner would go to her, kiss her and
ask it back. 1t was quite q family mat
ter a
At that time there was journalist
about town who was both social ia
vorite and an able man. He kept a
bachelor establishment in which it was
his amiable habit to entertain those
who had entertained him. There Of an
afternoon or of an evening people would
gather and take back from his drawing
room things which he had taken from
theirs. There was never a word ex-
changed on the subject. Perfect cour-
tesy prevailed.
Then there was a young fellow whose
name figures in the early history of the
United States~ At dinner which he
attended ring handed about for in
spection disappeared. So much was said
that later he returned it with state
ment to the effect that it had caught in
the lining of his sleeve. A few days
afterward we heard Talboys-dead
since, but not forgotten-ordering a
coat of tailor whom we patronized in
common and expressly STIMULATING that
it should not have that kind of sleeve.
In each of these instances the case
belonged not to Jurisprudence, but to
pathology. Kleptomania is disease,
like influenza, only, thank fortune, less
catching. Weekly.

DEWEY KNOWS HIMSELF.
He will not be Candidate fol
President Under Any Con-
1ifjOuS

New York, April 9.-Adrniral
Dewey has given to the Maniix cor
respondent of Lsslie's weekly an inter-
view regarding the suggestion that
the Admiral be made a candidate fnr
the Presidency next year. The Ad.
miral said, AS to his politics:
II am sailor. A sailor has no
politics. The Administration 10 his
party, aad, Republican or Democratic,
it makes no difference. Then, again,
I come from Vermont. and you know
what that means. To be anything
but Republican in Vermont is to b
q man without party. My flag lieu-
tenant comes from Georgia. He tolls
me that to be anything but a Demo
crat in the South is to be = nobody.
If / lived in the South I would pro-
badly be Democrat"
"Have you ever voted ?" tho CORES.
popdent asked.
Eyes, years ago but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditions. I am not q
politician, have never held political
Offices, and am totally ignorant of
party intrics cies and affiliations"
Admiral Dewey said that neither
by vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill tho
the Presidency. He said that he wss
too we'll along in life to consider such
possibility. His health would not
admit it. All his life's work was in
different lin.s of effort, and that while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends we're grateful to him and tho
generous tributes of the American
people were dear to him. he could NOT
and would not be candidate for the
Presidency ofthe United States under
any conditions.
