Vengeance of Dorothy.

The harvest moon climbed slowly
up the cloudless sky, shining white
and clear on the sleeping town at
Tunbridge Wells. The silence of
night was on the sleeping town. Two
women, closely cloaked, crept stealth
lily along, the elder demonstrating.
It's a great risk you run, mistress"
she whispered.
IF you fear to come with me, Betty,
l go alone"
Nay, madam, my fears are not for
myself. I know my place better than
to leave my mistress alone to meet
wild Sir Harry Fortescue."
Meanwhile, pacing slowly back
wards and forwards in the shadow cast
by high banks half hidden by bram-
bles, a man waited their approach. As
the women came into sight he ad-
vanced to meet them.
1T is but five minutes by the clock
since I came, madam, yet I dare swear
that the moments have been leaden-
footed as so many hours. The post
chaise waits for US in yonder hollow,
and we have many miles to go before
dawn"
The chaise can wait" she said. 81
seek a word with you first, sir"
"A thousand, as you will, sweet
heart. But can you not say them as
we driver"
The moonlight fell on the group as
the woman stopped and threw back
her hood, and it shone on her pale,
set face. Seeing it, Sir Harry fall
tered and tapped uneasily on the lid
OF his snufbox. 1t did not seem much
like the look to be expected on the
face of a romantic girl who had so
easily fallen in with his suggestion
Of a runaway match.
Now she said. q will tell you
why let you think that I would
marry You in secret, and also why the
chaise will not be needed tonight
You have known me as Dorothy
| March, sir: know me now as Dorothy
| IngIedew-sitser to the man you
ruined, and whose patrimony you stole
and to the woman whose heart you
broke"
He scanned the eager face with some
curiosity now. So this explained the
haunting idea that there was some
thing forgotten which the sight o.
| Dorothy stirred within him. He could
see now the resemblance between

BONAPARTE'S FAMOUS PUN.

The most successful pun ever per-
petrated at a commencement is attrib-
uted to Charles Jerome Bonaparte, the
brilliant American member of that
famous family, who is trustee OF
Harvard, and who practices law in
Baltimore It was at the Johns Hop
kins university, and there was a
crowded and distinguished audience.
Mr.. Bonaparte presided. The address
was to have been delivered by mem
Der Of the faculty who was remarkably
absent-minded. When introduced he
stood up and confessed to the large
audience that he had forgotten entirely
that he was to make an address; he
recalled that something was on his
mind and he intended the night before
to write out a speech, but instead OF
that it slipped his memory and he went
to the opera. With that ne sat down.
Mr.. Bonaparte arose and spoke these
three words.
Opera non yerba.'
There was a slight pause, and then
a roar Of laughter filed the hall

nelius to Miss Grace Wilson. In this
particular row there are innumerable
supporters on both sides. One of the
Wilson girls is married to a Goelet,
and naturally the GOelets take the
Wilson side. Orme Wilson married
Carrie Astor, so the Astors are brought
into the fuss.
Then the Vanderbilts and the Bel
mOnts might worship at the shrine Of
the proposed goddess with satisfactory
results to society at large. The Van-
derbilts have never had anything to do
with Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Bel
mont since she obtained her divorce
from her first husband, Mr. w. K. Van
derbilt, and as result the whole clan
OF Belmont is now arrayed against the
Vanderbilt host.
And the Rives, with their numerous
connections, have nothing whatever to
do with the Belmonts, for the reason
that Mrs. George L. Rives was the first
wife Of O. H. P. Belmont She had
one daughter by him, and her hatred
for the name Of Belmont was so in
tense that she had the childs name
legally changed to RiVes.
Some society folks with more cour-
age than others would not consent to
receive Mrs. Coleman Drayton when
her mother, Mrs. AStor, endeavored to
re-establish her in society, and these
became targets for the Astor wrath.
! James J. Van Allen, a son-in-law of
Mrs. Astor, took up the cudgels in be-
half of Mrs. DraytOn, and as a result
many people have little to do with Mr..
Van Allen.
These are merely a few sample cases
| of the differences existing in the swell
set. Others which originated a score
| of years age are still alive and flaming,
| but they are ancient history But
/ from these few cited it can be seen that
there is a lot of trouble in store fol-
| the hostess who innocently brings to-
! gether the clashing Vanderbilts, AS
tors, Belmonts, Goelets and Wilson's
Yet what is left of society with these
names and their respective relations
and followers deducted?

days there were innumerable inferno
cine rows, yet society moved along
smoothly. The duello had much to do
with this. Three-fourths of the rows
were settled on the field of honor, and
by the unwritten law, the seconds and
the principals were forced to be out
Wardiy friendly after satisfaction had
been declared. So well was this rule
established that a hostess could with
perfect peace of mind invite the prin-
cipals in duel to a dinner or dance,
without the slightest thing happening
to mar the pleasure Of the other
guests. The great trouble is, however,
that dueling could never be introduced
here with safety. When an American
is mad enough to fight with dangerous
weapons he is mad enough to kill, and
that would never do, you know. The
Romans rarely kill one another, al
though they are hot headed and more
susceptible to offense than We"
If an up-to-date goddess of peace
were established by the smart set

THE DOWAGER'S FAMILY.

Rev. W. A. P. Martin, the we'll
known missionary in China, who has
lived in the country for nearly so
years. and is president of the Imperial
college in Picking, denies the fire.
Quently repeated story that the dow
ager empress of China is of humble
birth.
The story" he says, is a pure fic-
ton. The Dowager Empress Tsehi
comes of a noble Manchu family. The
late Duke Chao was her brother, and
the Manchu Prime Minister Yung LII
is her nephew. After she had become
the secondary wife of the Emperor
Hen Fung, her sister became the first
wife of one of the emperOr's brothers.
The present emperor is the child of
that sister, and was on that account
adopted by the dowager after the
death of her own son. Her mother
was living some Is years ago, and Dr..
and Mrs. Pritchard Of the London mis-
sion, being invited to the house of
Duke ChaO, had the honor of receiving
a cup of tea from her hand. They de-
scribed her as a handsome old lady,
nearly so years old, combining grace
and dignity in her manners. I may add
that some years ago the dowager en-
press gave a reception to her kindred OF
all ranks and conditions at a temple
in the city-a thing impossible
were she not bone Of their bone and
flesh of their flesh. New York Trib-

THE NEW MILkMAN.

Miss Stanton was sitting beside her
chaperone, waiting for her next partner
to come and claim her for the dance,
when Ned Harmonson approached with
new man in town.
Mrs Gordon, allow me to present
my friend, Guy Thurston," said he.
Miss Stanton Mr.. ThurstOn.'
After the usual exchange of polite
speeches, Ned vanished, and Guy begg-
ed Miss Stanton for the honor of the
waltz. The music began, couples were
whirling on the floor, and the man
whose initials were on Miss Stanton's
card had not appeared.
Some one is neglecting me-" she
said, exhibiting a full card But I
cannot make out VINO it is. Can your"
Not l." answered Mr.. Thurston.
The writing is iIIegible. Do give me
the dance"
Thus besought, Miss Stanton yielded,
and she and Mr.. Thurston had a
charming waltz together. 1t was the
only one of the evening, though, for
Miss Stanton was engaged extras and
all, and no other man neglected or for
got her. Even young Kenneth Ryder,
the culprit, whose dance had fallen to
Guy, would scarcely have been so
remiss had he not been in a corner Of
| the conservatory on his knees before
| the girl whom he hoped to marry.

mere fact that the idea occurred to one
who is part of the fashionable world
shows that its many strifes are having
a demoralizing effect.
The last season at Newport was not
a successful one by any manner of
means, and the prospects for the pres
ent one are not glaringly brilliant.
The one reason assigned for this con-
dition of affairs is the strained rela-
lions which exist, for one cause or
another, between the leading families,
the people who are relied upon each
year to do the bulk Of the entertaining.
The trouble is that the antagonsms
are not confined alone to those imme-
diately concerned. Each of the lead
ing families has it's distinct coterie Of
followers, and as a matter of interest
and loyalty these have been forced to
take sides in the petty wars and shun
the followers of the opposing leading
family. Thus each disagreement has
many qualifications spreading out to
all corners and sides of the smart set,
crisScrossing other ramifications pro-
duced by the rows of other leading
families and dividing the gilded circle
into numberless little squares and df-
agonals, to such an extent that every
one is at sea.
In view Of this it can be seen that
the difficulties of entertaining on a
large scale, where the leading factors
of each row must be invited, as we'll
as their respective followers, are not
few. In the natural course of things
these people run across one another,
whether it be at a banquet, reception,
cotlllon or wedding. These unfortu-
nate meetings cast a gloom upon the
rest OF the guests, and all gayety is
shocked into nervousness. Besides,
the host and hostess are roundIy
blamed by both sides for displaying so
little tact in bringing them together.
These conditions have made enter
tanning such a delicate problem that
many people will not attempt to solve
it, and will either spend most of the
season in their country homes, &C
to Europe, or entertain only on
most limited scale, inviting the few
people whom they are absolutely sure
of.
1t is small wonder, then, that the
idea of peace congress should occur
TO some Of the few people who DOM
care a rap about the rows, but who dc
care when the gayety of the outins
season is placed in jeopardy. One mar

1 Eve. Angling By Electricity.


Angling is said to be a mental rather
| than a physical recreation were it not
| for the fact that fishing grounds are
| usually some distance from ones home.
and that the true angler Who gets up

Slcal recreation as we'll The trout
season in New England and eastern
waters has opened; brook trout are bit

Angling is sport to be encouraged,
and 1t is one that appeals to a boys
heart. what, for instance, could be

inspires love Of nature and leaves the
rudy glow of health on the cheeks.
Angling has been called a lazy mans
sport probably because of the quiet and
patience displayed by the angler when
the fish do not bite or because some
people make it an excuse for the habit
OF lying asleep on the banks of a little
stream where fish are as scarce as hens
teeth. But it is not a lazy sport at
good trout streams or lakes alive with
bass and muskellunge.
While the true angler may be
soothed and delighted by the music of
birds and insects, the rustic of the
leaves, the whisper of the reeds and
the thousand and one harmonious
sounds that make up Natures grand
chorus, there is no sWeeter single sOund

that the angular can more quickly ac-
commOdate himself to the movements
of the fish than by the old methods. -
