cry was this: 1t happened one day
that she wished to write a letter to
"him." 1t was a chilly day and a
blustery-she says-and to protect her
carmine lips from the salute of the
winds she reached for a little box Of
salve upon her dressing table and there
with literally anointed her lips. And
in that salve there was considerable
percentage of rouge.
The letter having been finished, it
was adorned at the foot with the con-
ventional brace of inky crosses. Now,
she had not seen him for a long time,
and the last letter he wrote was really
a nice one, so that it was understand
able that the crosses having been
made-and blotted-she should press
her lips just once to the letter.
The rouge in the salve did the rest.
1t was little greasy, but the uninten-
tional result was perfect picture of a
pair of pursed lips. The inventress
was so pleased that she tried it again,
and the second picture was better than
the first.

A Fable In Stocks,

Once upon time an operator in
stocks was sold short, and ruin stared
him in the face unless the market
should break. In his desperation he
remembered having heard that honesty
is the best policy. He tried to dis
miss the foolish thought, but in vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catch
ing at the straw, he resolved to try be-
ing honest. The very next day he put
his design into execution, and he
hadn't been honest more than 15 min.
utes when II of the leading bulls fell
dead, they were so surprised at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke,
and the operator could get all the stocks
he wanted at his own figure. 1t Is
claimed that some, if not all, of these
bulls had taken radishes and ham toI
breakfast, but that, it is submitted,
does not destroy the moral of this fable

Custer's Joke on Osborn.

The late Charles Osborn, the New
York broker, and Gen. Custer were in
innate friends, and Osborn annually
visited the general at his camp on the
plains. During one of the Indian cam
paigns he invited Osborn and a party
OF friends out to Kansas, and after
giving them a buffalo hunt, arranged
novel experience in the way of an
Indian scare. AS Osborn was lying in
his tent one night firing was heard at
the outposts and the rapid riding of the
pickets. Boots and saddles" was the
order In the disturbed atmosnhere Of
the night, and Custer appeared to Os-
born loaded with rifle, two revolvers, a
sabre and scalping knife.

The broker fell on his knees. "Mv

of this I'll carry 100000 shares of
Western Union for you into the firm to
get me home. Only save me-"
But Custer was gone, and the camp
by shrewd arrangement burst into n
blaze, and shots, oaths and war-whoops
were intermiXed, until suddenly n

sight, and something was flung into his
face-a human soap. He dropped to

backward look.
He reported his success and went to
to his tent. His look of stolid wretch
edness was unchanged. Morley began
to be nervous. He went to the tent
himself and found the lieutenant writ
ing a letter by lantern-light. 1t was not
normal oppor unity to take for that,
so the captain, being filled with misgiv-
ings, trumped up an errand and sent
him off on it. Then he looked at the
letter. 1t was to Mackworth's mother.
Morley did not read it, but he guessed
the whole thing in flash. He took up
Mackworth's carbine and slid it under
the tent flags into the outer darkness.
Also he broke the Colts, which had
been thrown down upon the bedding,
and put the cartridges in his pocket.
Then he replaced it in the holster, and
going out picked up the carbine and hid
it in the brush.
After the camp was all asleep and
Morley snoring loudly across the tent,
Mackworth groped under his pillow
and brought out the revolver. He

and pulled the trigger once-and then
again and again.

Good Reasons Why an Insurance Pol

Underlying a decision of the Supreme
Court rendered yesterday is the implied
advice, DO not try TO deceive an insur-
ance company" Mrs. Gertrude K. Bayley
sued the Employers Liability Assurance
Corporation to recover the amount Of a
policy on the life of her husband, who
was killed by accident. In the lower court
she was successful in her suit.
The contention of the company was
that. first, the insured had represented
that he had never been proposed and de-
cIined by any other company, and, second,
that he had never previously received
compensation from any other company on
a policy for accidents sustained. 1t was
concIusfvely shown that both statements
were untrue. The contention of the widow
was that at the time the statement was
made that Bayley had not received COM
pensation for accident injuries the agent
Of the defendant knew well that it was
false And further, that knowing this and
accepting the money and issuing the pre-
