THE A TALKER.
An 1n%to1ernble Nuisance Quickly ana
Quietly Suppressed by .
Little wit.

They had been reading . Rolfe ammo
tated edition of the play, and there was
nothing in Julius Caesar" that they
were not perfectly familiar with. Before
the performance was half through there
was nothing that they knew which every
body within half a dozen rows did not
hear about; for among the three OF them
"a man and two women-there were
| such capacities for superduous converse
ton as are met with nowhere except in
a theater, says the New York Mail and
Express. :,
In tones that alternately Kissed and
| prayed and rasped till spinal columns all
| around them ached they told one another
that Antony was much better done than
Brutus, that Portia would come on in \
minute in the garden scene; that Casca
was supposed to be a gruff old Roman;
that Caesar actually did have fts-think
Of it! that it was a pity (this in a whis-
per that shivered far down the aisle and
splintered at least a score of vertebrae)
Roman ladies didn't wear ~corsets. So on,
ad nauseam.
At last the ghost and the dist-aught
Brutus met and there was n thrilled 81
dence in all the crowded house save in
row @, where a strident voice complained:
81 can't hear a word the ghost says.
Why doesn't he speak louder?"
A man behind the Nnerulous disturber,
quite beside himself with rage, leaned for
ward and said in tones as courteously
sweet as the sting of a honey bee:
perhaps the ghost is a gentleman, and
does not like to annoy people"
Which. of course, was very rude. though

True Generosity.

A charming story of the late queen
of England vouched for by Mr.. il. F.
Story, is told in the "Childhood of
Queen Victoria" 1t is so consistent
with the queens known kindness Of
heart that it speaks for it's own
truth.
The Princess Victoria had set her
heart on buying a doll she had seer
in a shop window; but her mother,
the duchess of Kent, would not let
her buy it until her next allowance
OF pocket-money was due.
AT last the day came, and the prin-
cess hurried to the shop, paid over
the six bright shilings, and got the
long-coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with
her treasure in her arms, the prin-
cess encountered a wretchedly mis-
cradle tramp, who plucked up cour-
age enough to ask for help. The
princess hesitated a moment; then,
realizing that she no longer had any
money left for the man, she returned
to the shopkeeper and gave him back
the doll. He gave her the six shill-
ings, promising also to keep the doll
for her for a few days.
Then the little lady hurried out Of
the shop and thrust the whole of the
money into the hands of the beggar.

Panne cloth is enjoying an UNI
pr~ecedented amount OF 1ashionaoie
favor.
Wool lace dyed to match is extern
siyely used for trimming WOOL
gowns.
For children the fashionable furs
are white fox, ermine and ~chlnchliia.
Another of gray zi5elne IS
strapped with panne and fastened
with pendants and tassels OF black
silk braid.
A less expensive type of automo-
bile coat is of russell brown ana
black leather, box shape n hned
with fur.
Any sum may be expended for long
fur coats for wear on automople
trips. One of mink with sable collar
and cuffs costs $4,000.
In white taffeta is a beautiful pet
ticoat with coffee-tinted lace inser-
ton and Van Dyke points OF the
same lace over chiffon frills.
A new set of furs in baby lamb
consists of a long fat stole with big
Frenchy muf lined with ermine and
trimmed with mink tails.
Black pearls and Renaissance scroll
work figure in all the beautiful en-
broideries which are an essential
part Of the dress of to-day.
Incrustations of Irish guipure and
bands of mink fur lend an effective
touch to a costume of white panne
just completed for a debutante.
One of the prettiest of the new
white wash waists is fashioned of
heavy canvas cheviot, with embroi-
derry in conventional patterns in
pastel shades.
A lovely coat for a little girl is

yoke and collar appliqued with velvet
and chenille in pastel shades. The
buttons are of pearl and gold.

tions of ecru lace and finished with
deep collar of white liberty silk.
A feece-lined mercerized cotton

is a charming blending of green and
blue IS trimmed with big green but
tons of enamel and silver deposit.

get what I say to you now. Love mas
tides like the e a You mistook the
| first ebb for the total receding of the
waters, and now the flow is rushing
over your heart. You'll never make
that mistake again"
"My wisdom ONE too late
Perhaps not
"You mean-?" and he seized Miss
Terry by her plump shoulders.
There's just one chance. Was it
I, only the ebb of love with Hope?
| Well see,' and she scrubbed the fol-
lowing:
Max is i'll. I'm making him stay In my
rooms. You might regret 1t later If you
did not see him, as an evidence of hui
mainly.
"If you could only manage a tenn
perature," she said to Max, but when
she touched his burning hand she
gave a frightened cry, rushed for a
clinical thermometer, which she
forced into his mouth, then added to
the note:
Come at once. 1 am sending for doctor
Z nurse. He is burning with fever.
During the next week Max really
passed to within greeting distance
of pneumonia, but Hopes face bend
ing over him with the old look in the
eyes did more to turn the scales in
his favor than even the doctors skill.
One day in the beginning of con
valescence Miss Terry, entering the
studio unheard, was brought to a
standstill by these low words from
the other room:
"Put your arm a little further un-
der my head. dearest"
"Are you quite, quite happy now?"
"Ah, Hope! Listen, dear. Do you
remember the erse I said to you on
the train the day we were married?
That tells all:
Thou art my own, my darling, and my
wife,
And when We pass into another life
Still thou art mine All this which nov
we see
Is but the childhood of Eternity:
And h and I. through trials and
through tears.
The joys and sorroWs of our earthly
years,
Are growing up into a single soul,
Gods workmanship-a clear, completed
whole
Made out of twain. Our love is but be.
gun
Forever and forever we are one"
II forgot to get that tube of rose

retreated unheard to the hall, where
she stood with her hand on the knob
%radiantly smiling.-Town Topics.

LESSON FOR TRAVELLERS.
Notable Instance of the Inexorable
Enforcement of Uncle Sans
Customs Laws.

Smuggling iss crime much Sc.
rious in the eyes of the government Of
fcials than in those of many persons
that cross the Atlantic every summer
or SO. How serious it is was illus
trated in New York, when a United
States district court judge ordered the
jury to find a verdict for the govern
ment against wealthy Mrs. Dulles,
charged with bringing a pearl necklace
into this port surreptitiously, writes
a correspondent of the Pittsburg Ca
zette. The result of the judges order
is that Mrs. Dulles lost her necklace,
which cost $4,000 francs in Paris, and
is valued in this country ut $4,000.
The defendant wore the necklace
ashore from the steamer under a shirt
waist, and did not declare it until she
was asked about it by a customs Off
Ger. Then she brought it forth and de-
MED that she intended to smuggle.
Her husband, who, obviously, is a rich
man, was indignant that there should
be any doubt thrown upon his wife's
or his W integrity, and fought the
S ~ SouAt LIE Judge
believed it was a clear case, however.
and did not ever leave it to the dis
cretionof the jury, but ordered them to
decide against the defendant, which
means that the United States takes
the necklace as punishment of the
attempt to evade the payment of duty.
On jewelry the duty is very high-eo
per cent. ad valorem. The temptation
to bring it into the country without
paying the import charges to the rev
enue department is very great, there
fore, and unless passengers con-
sciences are exceedingly tender, the
customs authorities believe they have
strong reason to be suspicious Of near
" everybody. It is probable that this
Dulles decision will be appealed to an
other court, but if the Ease is as clear
as the judge to-day considered it was.
there is little if any hope Of any re-
lief for the day. The loss of a $4,000
article is something to make would-be
%smngglers hesitate, and there is :
strong hope in the custom house that
this case will have a deterrent effect
on other Atlantic voyagers who might
try to save money at the expense Of
Uncle Sam.

"THg OLD ORDER cHAnGeTH.'

A stone-Age man came back to life
To view the world again.
He thought he saw a oentipede
And found it was a train.
lie found a mighty monster which
Was snorting in a dell;
Its driver gently swore at it
And pumped it up as we'll;
He took 1t for a m%astodon,
. Toe fat to travel far;
Instead of that 1t was a toy
They called a motor car.
He found a bloody battlefield
Between two hunting packs;
They said it was a football match
He offered them his ak.
He saw some doctors in a ward
Conducting a P. NJ;
He fancied it might be a feast
mi wished to join with them.
He went into a lecture room
And looked upon a shelf;
He thought he saw a skeleton
And found it was himself.
While in a still suburban street
He heard a German band;
He said that they were dangerous
And killed them out of hand.
He went into a smart ''at home"
Where danes in conclave sit;
But that was more than he could stand
He persisted in a fit.
