FUNNY SCENE IN PARIS.
A Lady Furnishes an Innocent Man for
FamiIiarities by "a Lobster.

Rather risky substitute for a battle
field is the top of an omnibus, but there
have been not a few homeric struggles on
! ''imperiales," as they are termed here.
The latest adventure of the sort owed its
origin to a very comical mistake At a
particular Partisan office there assembled
10 the summit of one of these vehicles an
individual of very comfortable dimensions
who was speedily immersed in the study
of his newspaper, a pretty and we'll
dressed woman, many years his junior,
and an elderly man, who looked like a
retired officer. The omnibus had hardly
started when the old beau began to cast
gIanceS expressive of intense admiration
at his fair neighbOr. and although he re-
ccived no encouragement he continued his
attempt 10 get up a Irritation with her
quite unabashed suddenly the lady rose
TO her feet, at the imminent risk of top

me, You are putting your arm round my
waist Most of the people on the top
of the vehicle INDUCED in a merry laugh,
but the individual who had been reading
his paper so attenti1ely was in no testing
mood. Crushing it up. he sprang in front
of the lady, and, shouting to her admirer,
What do YOU mean by insulting my
wife, dealt him a couple OF sound boxes
on the ear.
The luckless old beau had hitherto fam
cied that the woman was unaccompanied
by an~escort. and had therefore. veluss
teered for that pleasant task. He denied
that he had attempted to encircle her
waist. but his explanation was vain, and
a pitched battle ensued, which only ter
minated after the conductor. assisted by
other passengers, had succeeded in sepa-
rating the combatants, both of whom
were decidedly the worse for wear
Then shril voice was heard to ex-
claim. Why. its all my Holsters fault"

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

teresting Stnrr

Ehingham, H., April 22.-(Speciall-
Lriah ). Andrick is now 67 years Of
age. Mr. Andrick served through The
whole of the Civil War. He was
wounded, three times by ball and twice
by bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861 he was hale and hearty,
and weighed 1913 pounds. Since the
close of the war, however, Mr.. Andrick
has had very bad health.
For fifteen years he never Law down
in bed for over an hour at time He
had acute Kidney Trouble. which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also
troubled him very much.
On Oct. IS, 1900, he was weighed
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self. He com
menced using Dodds Kidney Pills on
the 26th of last December, and on Feb
20 was again weighed, and weighed
14G pounds He says:

For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what DOdd's Kidney
Pills We're doing for me she commenced
to use them. She now feels like another
woman. her pains have all disappeared
and her general health is better than
ii has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd'S Kid
rey Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr.. COrnwells
drug store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make q
mistake and get something else"
