error and advocating no policy not
calculated to bring men more closely
into brotherhood and to promote equal

They We're Whisnerins.

A conspicuous corner in the business
district of Chicago is a favorite resort
of deaf-mutes, on Sunday afternoons.
Here they meet for a social hour, often
to the great amusement of the pas
sers-by. One interesting incident Of
these weekly reunions is reported by
the Chicago Tribune: Two men were
ut some distance from the others. They
were standing three feet apart ana
talking energetically in the sign Ian
guage. One Of them leaned over to
the other, grasped his coat lapels and
drew him toward him. When thew
were close to each other the second
man caught hold Of the others coat.
and they stood face to face. From
where the other deaf-mutes stood II
was impossible to see the movements Of
their hands. Intensely interested in
the performance, n of the spectators
who was not a deaf-mute, took out a
pencil and a piece Of paper and wrote
this question. which he handed to the
mute: Why are you two standing
away from the rest and talking with
your fingers hidden behind vour
coats?" The mute read the question
and scrubbed the answer: II am tell

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

H nOPP0uOu ~
Frenchy Flavor.
A few days ago a person OF
able aspect, wearing a white beard,
alighted at a hotel In the nelghbornood
of the Saint Lazare railway station. He
introduced himself to the landlord as
a wealthy merchant from Bordeaux,
and was welcomed. Having passed on
the staircase a pretty lady who'seeme
to have taken his fancy, the old man
experienced little difficulty in finding
out some interesting particulars about
her. The smart looking person, as
one Of the walters explained, was on
very friendly terms with a married
man, to whom she paid a visit every
afternoon. On the following after
noon, when the fair charmer had hung
the key Of her room up in the bureau
and had sailed forth on her career
Of conquest, the elderly gentleman
with the white beard stole softly IN
when nobody was about and, putting
the key in his pocket, made his way
to the chamber which had just been
vacated. Shutting the door without
exciting any notice, he went to the big
trunk which was lying on the floor,
and, breaking open the lock, rummag-
ed in it until he had found bank notes
to the amount of 5000 francs slowed
away in a corner. He had just packed
the notes carefully in his pocketbook
when a servant, hearing a faint noise
in the room, walked in, and catching
sight of the old man, seized him by
the collar with the cry, why. you
r a thief" The ~bewilderment OF
the worthy garcon when the long
white beard came off in his hand may
well be imagined, and as he stood
gaping in s%peechless amazement the
erstwhile venerable elder uttered a
mild protest. II am not a thief" he
exclaimed. IT am the husband Of the
woman who has taken this room, and,
as her abode is legally mine as we'll. I
am quite within my right in acting as
l have DONE"
At that moment the lady, made in
her turn her entry into the chamber.
Heavens! my husband" she cried
in horror. Eyes. it is l." replied the
man, as he dealt her q couple of ring
ing boxes on the ear. Then he went
down stairs, paid his bill, and started
OF by the next train for his native vii
lage in Normandy. He had got what
he wanted-the 5000 francs. which his
wife had taken off with her when she
eloped. The rest of the business will
be as effectively settled by a divorce
suit.-Paris Correspondence London
