JOhnStOn'S Adventures (

I KNOW this story is true, for John
ston told il to me himself, and he
has not imagination enough to invent
an untruth.
He told me that if you should attempt
TO enter into conversation with a fell
low passenger in a Chicago train he
probably would present you with the
card in question as "A delicate hint that
he wanted to be left in peace.
~ am going down to Warwickshire
tomorrow | said"-continued John
ston-" TO spend few days with SEQ
BILE, and I'll take this card with me. If
some one insists on talking to me when
I'm reading my paper I'll try what
handing him the card will do
IL took the train at Euston, travel
ing second-class.
My fellow passenger was a tine-look-
ing woman of about 30. The heat of
the day and the excitement Of catch
ing the train had given her a ford co..
or, and ! could see that the desire of
condemning the weather and exposing
the wickedness of cabman was strong
within her.
"Presently the woman caught my
eye and said: 4 beg your pardon, but
will you tell me the exact time? My
cabman--'
But here | hand-d the woman the
Chicago card | had received the day
before.
"She read it and then said: %, in
deed. 80 sorry. Pray excuse me, ana
then iapsed in silence, while | resumed
my newspaper and congratulated my
self on the efficacy OF the American
plan of dealing with railway bores.
ut is true that my conscience did
give me an occasional twinge, for the
distinction between telling a lie and
handing n person n ready-made lie
printed on n card was not very per-
ceptiblc. | asked myself whether i'm
giving the woman card with the
words: L am deaf and dumb ! had
not been guilty of lying as certainly
as | should have been If | had told her
the same thing in SO many words.
AT Willesden Junction another pas
senger got in. This time it was a young
lady who was evidently expected by the
elder lady.
by and by my attention was aroused
in spite Of myself by hearing the elder
lady mention my name. You See she

An Indian. Romantic story.

a chief of the Omaha Indians died re-
Gently in whose career was wound up a
romantic and wonderful story. He
traced his lineage on his fathers side
10 the naughty Bourbons who once
ruled over France. His grandfather
was Francois, Marquis de Fontenelle,
who, when Napoleon was rising into
power, left France and settled in New
Orleans. His father ran away from
New Orleans, became a trapper, and
eventually was adopted into the Omaha
tribe of Indians and married the daugh-
ter of the great chief of the nation.
Stranger still, this half-breed Indian
was a good classical scholar. AS n
trader with other Indian tribes he
amassed fortune.-Chicago Chronicle.

Scoble came TO the window where /

of those nervous and hurried searches
for her purse which women when trav-

his hands or his eyes away from his

man has my purse, I am perfectly sure

THE BOY AND THE TOY.

One day before a window
There stood a little boy,
Who gazed with earnest longing
Upon a pretty toy
Who thought with its possession
Would come esrth's greatest JOY.
Day after day he saw it
He sighed day after day
And trembled lest some other
Might carry IL away;
Day after day new splendors
Were centered where IL lay.

And when the days were done
His sleep was full OF visions
OF treasures TO be won.
There came a day OF triumph.

And, 10! at once its splendor
Died out before his eyes!-
The little boy was foolish;
But, then, are men so wise?
