Dlan,t Gee ono OF ono way.

Reminiscently, the Chicago Post
tells Of the push cart full Of drugs that
met John Baughman in the manufac-
turers' building Of the Worlds Fair
one day in 1893. John was a tall and
briad citizen from Indiana, and while
his clothes were good he took up much
room, as large man may, and led peO-
pie TO think he was clumsy. He was
looking at the Worlds Fair early one
pleasant morning when the push cart
of a drug firm came laundering down
the aisle. and the fOur-dOllar-a-week
man behind it was crying, get out Of
the way, there! Get out Of the wayw
IL was a common thing at the fair.
| The only hireling who did not order
people to get out Of the way was the
/ one with the sprinlling barrel. He
regarded 1t as the height of humor to
/ drench the dresses Of women and spoil
the fine polish on the shoes of men.
And this push cart young fellow was
proceeding down through a lane Of peO-
pie who had paid their money to be
treated to cheap contumely from every
thiN thing on the grounds.
John Baughman did not get out OF
the way. He saw the chariot coming
and heard the commands of the man
who pushed it. But he walked straight
toward it, and it stopped almost-but
not quite-against his shins.
Get out Of the way, you lummickv'
yelled the pusher.
So John Baughman picked up the
cart and hurled it with all its contents
against the great iron gates that came
from Germany. II was a sight. There
were acids and salts and alkalis and
essence and extracts until the whole
building was alive with the smell Of
them.
Il told you to get out OF the way"
cried the pusher.
"Yes, hut l don't have to-" replied
John. you have to get out of my
way. I'm paying for this show. You're
\ Just working for me. Now, gather up
your chips and 90 orr

NOT FISH STOKES.
Tut Tales of Hardened Mountain

Fish stories are all very well in their

Mountain is an ant hill. He went up

went up again to see the sun set (most
neople start at in the morning and
come home at in the evening when
they climb Blue Mountain).

TITAN BRONZE.
New Popular Shade Of Hair Is a Very
Expensive Luxury.

Titan bronze, the new shade OF
hair, is still too much of a novelty to
lie common, but who has seen IL and
not longed for tresses of that wonder
ful hue? It is too expensive an opera
ton to ever become the popular shade.
and no amateur at hair dyeing can ac-
complish the desired result so the for
tunate few who possess locks of
Titan bronze need have little fear of
many duplicates.
The art of hair dyeing has made
tremendous strides within the last
few years. and there are many artists
in that line whose work de4les oriti.
cism, another word for detection, but
Americans, as a class. have not taken
kindly to that sort of thing and the
remark that "she dyes her hair" is
still considered by many as a term of
reproach.

eovery Of The Real Donor.
At the Hoffman House they are talk
ing OF a scandal in Richard Croker's
Democratic club. II appears that
shortly after the elevation Of one OF
the jurists OF Tammany Hall TO a
seat in one OF the minor Courts this
gentleman thought it would be a kind
and delicate thing to do to supply
Richard Croker a sufficient number OF
cigars for his daily consumption.
Therefore, whenever opportunity Of
fered, he slipped a handful of perfec-
tos into the pocket of the Democratic
leader and said nothing about II. Mr..
Croker, OF course, was very much sur
lprised when he put his hand in his
ipocket to find a lot Of cigars, but the
story runs that he was never able to
catch the man who put them there.
When Mr. Croker became a daily
visitor at the Democratic Club, and II
WAS his custom 70 take OF his over.
coat and hang il on a certain peg
every night, he found q pocket OF the
coat fun of cigars when he put II on.
According to the story, an eminent
state Senator discovered this strange
custom. So one evening, while await
/ ing the arrival OF his chiaftain, he no
riced on which hool. the coat was
hung. He took 1t or. hung it on an
other hook. and substituted his own
coat. with the result that the jurist
was fooled and the Senator got the
cigars. But that would not have been
so bad had It not happened on this
particular night The Democratic
chieftain was anxious to discover who
e was who kept him supplied with so
fine brand of cigars. For the pur-
pose of ascertaining. some OF his
friends made note OF the absentees
each night. OF course. II a man was
not there he could not have put the
cigars In the coat.
/ BY this process Of elimination on
this particular night but two mem.
hers were left under suspicion. One
of these was the eminent jurist, and
lon that evening the Democratic leader
found no cigars in his pocket, thus re-
llieving the jurist OF suspicion. The
L. her member under suspicion was
mot there at all. so it was decided that
he must be it.-New York Correspond
