Struck the Wrong man.

A certain Washington young man
who went down to one. Of the Chesa-
peake beaches on Sunday last has
been wearing a pepsive, theyve-got-
me-guessing expression ever since his
return, which is explained by a cou-
pie of friends who accompanied him
on the trip as follows:
The young Washingtonian, who is
very near-sigLted and a very slow
dresser and undresser, emerged from
the bathing pavilion with his bathing
toys on about fifteen minutes after
his friends had already had dip in
the water. They met him at the
bathing pavilion entrance as he
emerged in his bathing suit, and they
pointed to recumbent figure, lying
face downward and almost entirely
covered with sand, down on the
beach.
There's Jack lying down there in
the sand, pretending that he's
asleep" they said to him, mentioning
the name of a mutual friend. "We've
covered him over with sand but he
kept right on with the bluff that he
was sleeping. Go on down and wake
him up"
The near-sighted Washingtonian
strolled down to where the recumbent
figure was stretched out, face down

Urgency call arrives as many men who

He was crossing high road in
South Carolina not long ago near his
old home and stopped at negro cab
in at night for drink of milk. AS
he was about to continue his walk
the days were hot and he did his
tramping by moonlight-he suddenly
came upon q tall bearded man with a
staff in his hand. The encounter was
SO sudden that both men backed away
from each other. The Rev. Mr.. Dix
on instinctively put up his fists as the
other raised his staff.
Matters looked or4fous for a mo-
ment but as the r4oon came out from
beyond a b~uk Of clouds, both men
recognized each other. The bearded
one. was Bishop Coleman Of North
Carolina, who is over seventy, and
whose long walks sometimes last for
weeks.

RATHER A NEAT COMPLIMENT.
Cowboys Pretty Speech to Young
Lady He Admired

Lady He Admired.
At party given last winter out
West, says an exchange, was a bash
full cowboy who had not been in civil
lied society for several years. He
was a good-looking fellow, and one of
the young ladies present kindly took
an interest in him and tried to make
him feel at ease. He fell desperately
in love at once, and the hostess, no.
ticing this, encouraged him all she
could. On leaving the house the
young lady who had taken a friendly
interest in the cowboy forgot her over
shoes, and the hostess told the young
Lochinvar from the plains that he
might return them to the girl if he
wished. The herder leaped at the
chance; and presented himself in due
time at the young lady's house. She
was surprised to see him, but greeted
him cordially.
"You forgot your overshoes last
hight" awkwardly handing her the
package.
She thr.1niked him and opened it..
WY, there's only one oversf.oc
kae!' she exclaimed.

cowboy earnestly. l only wish, my
dear miss, that you were cent?

Editor Gave Advice That Was Pretty
Hard to Follow.
Frank A. Vanderlip, now one of the
vice presidents of the National City
bank of New York, the great Rookie
Teller stronghold, was financial editor
of the Chicago Tribune in 1892 and
1881 hard working newspaper man,
dependent on his salary.
Those were panic times. Banks
were failing every day. Joseph Medill,
the editor of the Tribune, was in
southern California He was much
exercised over the situation and was
in close touch with the office, con-
stantly advising conservatism and OPP
timism in the newspaper reports.
Vanderlip, by close economy and
some minor investments, had saved
$500. 1t was all he had. One day
the bank failed in which he had de-
posted his little nest egg. He went
daspondently to his desk. The world
looked BLACK to him, It vas a hard

A messenger boy came in with d
telegram. Vanderlip signed for it

velope. The telegram was from. NJ:

The statement made recently that
instead Of "all having been gained"
by women, they are still STRUGGLING
for foothold has just received a
practical illustration in WASHINGTON
city. During the last two years for
the first time a woman has been per-
mltted to enter the law department
OF Columbian university in that city
and prepare for it's degrees.
A paragraph has been going the
rounds setting forth the small num-
Der of women who voted in the re-
cent municipal" elections in Massa-
chusetts and asserting that the num-
Der is constantly growing smaller
In Boston, it is said, only 1880
women cast their ballots.
The fact is that women have nc
@'municipal'' suffrage in Massachu
sets. In 1879, in a burst of gener
osity, law which never has been re-
pealed was passed by the legislature
providing that a woman 81 years OF
age who could stand the educational
test and who should give notice in
writing that she wished to be as
sessed poll tax ($2), and who should
give, under oath, statement of he1
taxable property and be thereupon
assessed, and who should go at an
appointed time and register, and re-
peat this performance every year
should be allowed to vote for school
trustees. She could not attend the
primaries and help select the candi
dates; she could not vote for super
visors or any other officials, nor fol
appropriations for new schoolhouses
nor in the selection Of teachers, mol
on any question connected with the
public schools, bat simply could make
choice Of trustees from ballot pre-
pared without her sanction.
Under these conditions men pretend
to be shocked and grieved that the
women of Massachusetts do not rush
