A Long One.

A man we'll known in State street
circles found himself in front of what
he supposed was his Back Bay residence
late one evening recently. He had a
great many dollars worth of wine I'M
der his waistcoat and could not gain
entrance through the medium of his
latchkey. Becoming enraged, in 81
drunken fashion, he kicked the door,
broke the glass and used language that
is unfit for publication. Finally the
door was opened, and the owner Of the
house, who is athletic and irascible,
proceeded to kick the State street finan-
cier into the middle of the street
''Wazzer you-hic-mean-h in
quired the assaulted party Indignantly
as he sat upon the curbstone and held
his throbbing brow with both hands.
'And what do you mean by trying to
break into my house?" inquired the
other man.
"Your-hic-housep' exclaimed the
State street man in bewilderment
"How--hic-long--hash you lived
hic-here?"
For four years." was the answer.
"Holy smoke--hicw exclaimed the
fnancier. "Have I-hic-been drunk

Making the Home Attractive.

William Martin Johnson, author
OF sinside OF II Hundred Homes, -
contributes the first article OF his
new series on 1.-The House Practical
20 the January Ladies Home Jour
nal. In these articles Mr.. Johnson
will explain how the various rooms,
Railways, etc, OF a house may be ar
tistically furnished and decorated ut
comparatively small cost. The ex-
PLANTATION is SO clearly detailed that,
with the aid of the accompanying
drawings, almost any one with taste
may follow the instructions given.
The articles will show how the inter-
Tor of house may be transformed
from the common place into a thing
oi artistic abeauty and coziness.
There is no subject OF such vital in
terest to Americans az the improve
ment OF the home, and Mr.. Johnson's

Victoria a.nd John Brown.

"Pol Manear" is favorite cast near
Balmoral castle and was always held
as the special preserve of the late John
Brown, her majesty's personal attend
ant. John was an enthusiastic and in
veterate fisher, and often the royal
larder was indebted to his prowess for
its supplies of spring salmon when the
rods c. inc other fishermen failed to
bring them TO the bank. 1t is anthem
tically reported among anglers on Dec
side that when the queen wanted John
he was Immediately at her CALL except
when angling, and at such times she
studied not to disturb him. The tacit
understanding between them is said to
have arisen in the following fashion,:
Her majesty one day sent an imperative
message to tho river side, desiring John
to Immediately wait upon her.
SEQ Tell her majesty, replied John, in
his usual Dor:c, 'that I am rinnin q
salmon and | Gamma come"
The messenger came back to him in
hot haste saying that the queen desired
to see him this very minute
well, tell her majesty this time
that aln RIM salmon and Wilma
come, and that settled it.-Pearson s
