GENERAL MILES THROWN.
dbl Girth Broke and the Warrior
Was ENDORSED.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Iieutenant
General Miles had a slight accident while
attending the centennial parade to-day,
a break in his horses saddle girth giving
the general a fall. The head of the parade
had just passed the Presidents reviewing
stand and General Miles, having saluted
the President. had turned his horse toward
the house wing of the Capitol. The saddle
girth suddenly parted, permitting the sad
die TO turn on the animal and General
Miles was seen TO fall sideways. The horse
did not plunge, and the officer sprang for
ward. Reing a good horseman, General
Miles saved himself from being thrown
with force, and suffered nothing save the
inconvenience and annoyance of the acci-
dent. He soon afterward appeared with
the other distinguished officials in the
House and took part in the exercises.

woman'~ Sense of Humor.
New York Evening Sun.


Isn't one reason that men are so ready to
deny women a sense of humor because the
object of her humor is pretty apt to De
men? If there Is one thing In all creation
that likes TO. be taken seriously IL is the
lord of creation. Any one inclined to treat
him. either I'm general or particular with
levity he naturally dismisses with the most
scathing rebuke In his repertory-"She has
no sense of humor." Now and then, wher
Il woman-as women keen to see the ridic-
ulous OF anything sometimes do-makes
fun OF her own sex, man pricks UP his
ears, as new light comes into his eyes.
and he observes, patronizingly, Here il
an exception to the rule: this woman has
I sense of humor." He might just as well
add, because she makes fun OF something
intrinsically funny-woman.' Only be-
cause woman generally turns her humor-
Gus attention TO that most humorous thing
IN all the universe, man, has he dared to
brand her as unhumorous. Ii Is his oniy
way of revenging himself. The women
who declare their sex to be without humor
ion't so much prove that fact as the
prove that other very self-evident fact
that women are without esprit de corps.
II am tempted TO wonder" says a recent
male writer who takes himself oh. so
seriously-'if a sense of humor Is as in
frequent among women as my own ex-
perience would lead me to suppose?"
