An Inviting Gun.

The Hon. William Wortham, lona
state treasurer Of Texas, was in a New
York Jewelry store one day when he
noticed a showcase filled with splen
did jeweled revolvers with silver and
gold grips and chased barrels, having
precious stones set into the butts.
"Lemme see one Of those guns" be
said to the clerk.
"Which one, sir"
"The gold one with the big ruby In
the handle"
The clerk took it from the case. 4
was marked $685. and it looked worth
even more. The Texan took it tender.
~ In both hands and held it admiring-
ly up to the light. Then drawing him
self up to his full height, which was
6h feet, he rested the revolver barrel
upon his left elbow, crooked for the
purpose, and looked over the sights
down the long store. Those persons
who saw him involuntarily lodged.
"Say," said Mr.. Wortham, with
quiet but intense enthusiasm, as he re-
turned the weapon, "if was to wear
that gun down In my state the people
would be falling down on their knees
begging to be killed with It,"

approaching carriages Of the guests.
"Hark!' she says. II hear the
wheels Of their carriages"
We obtained the effects of approach.

stamping Of the horses feet upon the
gravel before Clarisse's door we could
not manage. At last brilliant idea
struck me, which the stage manager
promptly indorsed.
1t was that we should have in a
donkey from Covent Garden to trot I'D
and down behind the scenes on the
gravel especially laid for him. We
were decidedly nervous on the first
appearance of our four footed friend,
whose role was to counterfeit the high
stepping horses Of the brilliant French
court

only an ominous silence. | repeated
the word in a louder voice, when such

not help joining in their mirth until
the tears rolled down my cheeks.
