There is charming blond young woman well known to Philadelphia as well as Baltimore and New York who laughs when you call her "seno-a. woman friend gave the story away. says the Philadelphia Press, and as she takes it good naturedly there is nc use keeping the joke away from the public. You see, young as she is, she elected to marry a man who was q grandfather. or. rather. he became one soon after his marriage tS her. She has that deceptive. innocent type of beauty that gives the owner the ap- pearance of being about 'k;hteen. She was looking at the Cuban curios and souvenirs for sale at a bazaar with a woman friend. and the old woman be- hind the wares called her ''senorita. :" No. no" said the friend. ''she is senO- la" The old woman shook her head and declined to believe. No. senori- ta." she said. "She is a girl" she con tinued in broken English. ''She too young and pretty" Yes. she is a senora," said Mrs. C.. wishing to tease the young woman. and, remem- sering the birth of the grandchild. she added, She's not only married. but she is grandmother "Dios, but these Americans are so progressiver' said the old Cuban.

A BOneless Big Fish.

York fisherman relates an expert. ence he had the other day in capturing a curious specimen of the fnny tribe which is puzzling everybody to deter mine exactly what sort of a sea mon ster 1t is. He was about two miles from Boon island when he felt a tug on his six pound line. He commenced to pull in, but found that he had tackled a hard job. He finally got the monster into the boat and brought it in. The fish is of a muddy color over six feet long and with a head that is fully three-quarters of yard wide at the widest part. It has a mouth resembling that of shark and small teeth. The teeth are not hard. as would naturally be expected in a fish of this size. Its eyes are about as big as an old fashioned copper cent The fish weighs POO pounds. One of the strangest things about the fish is the apparent absence of bones.-Ken- nebec Journal

Why General Butler Hated Pepper.

Why General Butler Hated Pepper.
 Did you ever hear the story of Gen. eral B. F. Bytler's hatred of pepper? No? Well. here it is." So spoke a well known lawyer.
 Years ago. when the general was at the height of his career. he was couD- sel in big ease that involved thou sands of dollars worth of hides. These hides were from South America and were in an awful evil smelling state. In order to keep them together It had been necessary to cover them with black pepper. vast quantities of which had been used.
 When the general told me this. he used to say that he had a suspicion that this pepper was afterward gath cred together and sold. and so great was his horror that he might run against some of the article that noth- ing could induce him to use pepper."- Philadelphia Telegraph

Think It over.

"One of the wisest men we ever knew" says Congressman Scott, "said once that the surest way to get the good will of man was to get him to do you favor. and the surest way to get the i'll will of a man was to let him do you an injury. Take note of that saying and see how many times 1t comes true. How many of your enc mics are so not because you have done them wrong. but because they have done you one? And incidentally if you feel unfriendly to a man. you might inquire whether it is because he has wronged you or you have wronged him. Human nature is a curious thing."-Kansas City Star.
