Test of SObriety.

An English carman who was brought
before a magistrate for being drunk
while in charge of a horse and cart
complained of the indignities to which
he had been subjected by the police.
He had walked a chalk line marked
down the middle of a long passage;
had said clearly and distinctly truly
rural and chrysanthemums;" had
picked his hat up from the floor with
his right foot, raised it from his foot
and put It on his head while standing
on his left foot; had been asked to
stick a pin in a small dot made by a
pencil on a wall and had told them that
if brick weighed eight pounds and
a half brick and half would weigh
sixteen pounds. And yet the divisional
surgeon said he was intoxicated. The
police explained that the accused had
not walked the chalk line properly
that his enunciation Of truly rural
and 'chrysanthemums" was very
throaty and vague, that he had three
times fallen on the floor in his efforts
to pick up his hat with his foot, test
he volunteered, and in sticking the pin
in the wall ne had selected a spot that
was not visible to any one but him
self. The brick problem had merely
been put before him by way of joke,
and his solution was wrong.

SOueIching the LandIady.

The landlady was disturbed over one
of her boarders. The young woman
was pretty and consequently had many
male admirers. The landlady was prim
and pedantic and believed that pretty
girl must necessarily be wicked. Any
way, she thought it sinful for man
caller to stay later than $50 o'clock.
The pretty girl had different ideas, and
when one of her callers finally became
cher steady" she paid little attention
to time or the landlady. The good wo-
man, however decided to break up the
late hours; so one evening she raped
gently on the parlor door. There was
a slight scurry and then ''Come in,"
said cordial voice.
Excuse me, Miss Travers," said the
landlady, ''but when the gentleman
goes will you please turn out the gas?"
Miss Travers gaZed speechless at her
landlady and then blushed scarlet. AS
soon as she could get her breath she
said Jelly:
''NO, | will not. But to save your gas
bills and further anxiety | will turn il
out before he goes" And she promptly
turned out both burners, leaving the
landlady to tumble her way out of the
room as best she could.-New York

Mrs. Hastings dropped into the big
easy chair, with a sigh. The fire in the
library burned cheerfully. Besides it's
cracking the only sound in the quiet
room was that of the professors pen as
it made it's 1nethodical way over the
paper. 1t was very restful, and she
was so tired. She decided that this
giving of faculty dinners was nui-
sance.
Presently she glanced at her hus-
band. Long experience had taught him
that it was wiser to allow his wife to
begin a conversation on the day of a
faculty dinner party. So at this crit
ical moment he deliberately capped his
fountain pen, put it in his pocket and
came over TO the fire, stretching his tall
figure to its greatest length. AS he
threw himself on the divan she began:
"Well!"

"And you didn't tell me! Oh, wo-

IN THE ROCKIES
1t Is One Continuous, Dazzling, Awe
Inspiring Performance.

L
Inspiring Performance.
If the reader of this has never been
in a mountain thunderstorm at an ele-
walton of 1000 feet or more he has
missed an experience that will doubt
less should he ever pass through it add
several gray hairs to his head. To me
a thunderstorm back east held no spe-
cial terrors, and frequently | have been
out in such a demonstration without
feeling any especial nervousness. Up
here on the Rocky mountains things
are different, and | confess now to live
in awful abiect terror of thunder
storm, especially at night, in my tent.
I suffer this terror Notwithstanding
the fact that SO far the storms have in
every instance except one gone around
or beneath us without even raining
enough to wet the ground. But it is the
"going around and beneath" that gets
on to my nerves. In the first place i'm
agine what it is to be one and one-half
miles nearer a rip roaring thunder
storm than one is at Pittsburg. There
YOU have occasional flashes of lightning;
here it is one continuous, dazzling,
awe inspiring performance. The light
ming Strikes too, for it is no uncommon
thing during storm to hear the rocks
splintering and cracking where one es-
pecially vigorous bolt has landed.
Add to this nerve racking exhibit the
most awful detonations of thunder that
you can imagine and straight blow
ing'' wind that sometimes makes the
flaps Of your tent play ragtime mel
ody, and you have some idea Of
mountain thunderstorm. The thunder
is worse than the sound Of a mighty
battle. It bangs up against the noun
tain side and reverberates and rolls off
into one ear splitting concussion after
another until you, lying quaking in
your tent, fully believe that the next
'boom" will split the mountain and
valley in twain and land you in China
or some other seaport town.
I lay one night and with chattering
teeth counted five distinct thunder
storms come up to the edge of the pla-
teau on which my tent stands and
each time go through with an electrical
performance that would give a stone
man a dumb ague, and through it all
not cupful of water fell on my tent.
Later on in the night, when l had
about regained something like my
usual majestic calm of mind, it began
to rain steadily, and the thunder and
lightning didn't even whisper. They
had doubtless gone off down the can
you, soaring some other poor tenderfoot
half out of his wits. These electrical
displays are not seemingly much dread
ed by the people who live in high alti-
tUdes. They comfortingly declare that
a tornado or cyclone is unknown in the
mountains But sometimes these noun
tain storms go off through a canyon to
the foothills and the plains. Then
there is something doing.-Pittsburg

A Fashionable Woman,s Confession

Nobody finds it more difficult to spare
time for reading than the very idle, yet
every woman in society religiously or
ders every new book from her library,
even though she sends most of them
back without having even cut the
leaves. If it is book every one is
talking about she skins through the
opening chapters, dismissing the vol
ume with a single observation at din
ner party and forgetting everything
about it a month after she has returned
it. Most of us remember the books of
our youth, but if any one were to ask
me the titles of the novels l read a
couple of years ago no definite impress
sion would be aroused.-"A Countess
in London Telegraph.

going too far: 81 hope it will succeed.
Allen deserves a nice wife, and she
would make one"
Three hours later the carriage bear
ing Miss Elizabeth Parker rolled noise
lessly along College street. She felt
distinctly nervous. Professor Allen
would very certainly be there. And
at the last faculty dinner, just before
commencement, she had given him the
rose from her hair and he had said
AS she stepped into the Hastings
hall Mrs. Hastings called from the
top of the stairs:
"Come up, dear How perfectly
sweet of you to come! l was afraid
you wouldn't get the message in time.
Jean will be delighted. Do go right
in. [ have to see that Johns tie is
straight" And she disappeared through
a half open door.
Elizabeth on opening the nursery
door was joyfully welcomed by the
tiny Jean, VINO sprang into her arms
with a cry of delight and Rugged her
close Then she curled up contentedly
in Elizabeth's lap, murmuring, with a
sigh of satisfaction. "Sing 'Pick-a-nin-
n.y."
The songs went on uninterruptedly
for half an hour. Then the carriages
began to arrive. Elizabeth could hear
the ponderous annual joke of the pro-
lessor of mathematics and the Obedi-.
ent laugh of his assistant as they pass
od int hn q rH
the rustic of skirts as the women flut-
tered down the stairs.
'They must all be here" she
thought, ''but I won't go down till /
have to-"
She glanced at Jean, whose eyes
were heavy with sleep, and sang again
the favorite song. And this was the
scene upon which Professor Allen
gazed minute later as he stood at the
nursery door. In her shimmering satin
gown. her crimson cape falling back,
revealing her beautiful neck and arms,
her sweet face slightly turned from
him as she looked down at the drowsy
child graded in her arms, she seemed
to the unhappy professor almost d.
vine
AS he stood listening to the lullaby
Jean, suddenly raising her head, saw
him.
ooh, Mr.. Allen, turn in, tum in" she
cried.
There was no escape. He came in.
Elizabeth's heart beat SO loudly she
felt sure he must hear it, but she did
not speak.
''Jean, came in to say good night"

"Does you lub me?'
eyes, Jean"
"Docs you lub Lizbuff too?"
He gave one appealing look, but the
dear face was turned away. He re-
solved to risk all in one desperate
stroke
"God knows l do, Jean"
"Vell, tiss us bofe dood night, and
III go asleep"
He kissed her. But the baby insisted.
''Now Lizbuff."
''May l, dear?" very tenderly, bend
ing over them both.
"Tiss her, Allen" urged Jean.
"Elizabeth!" pleadingly.
Ever so little she turned her face to
him.
Jean sank back satisfied.
Downstairs all wonder at the delay
of dinner was changed into delight
when Professor Allen and Elizabeth
came into the drawing room together.
And dinner was served.
