"There used to be cigar store round
the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood
street." said an old timer, where they
had a wooden Indian which stood on a
platform during the day, but was al
ways taken in at night to save it from
mutilation by the boys about the neigh
borhood. Shorty Long was one of the
well known characters of the town, an
all round good fellow, who was always
out for fun. On one occasion he started
a hurrah on Fifth avenue near Smith
field street and was pursued by the po-
lice, who gave him hot chase down
the avenue and were in a fair way to
overhaul him when he rounded the cor
ner and sprang on the box where the
Indian was to be found during the day.
There he took a position as much like
that Of the wooden chief as possible,
and as he posed with outstretched arm
the bluecoated guardian Of the peace
galloped past and disappeared down
Diamond alley, while the cause of ali
the trouble left his pedestal and started
out for some fresh amusement

A French Deputy's Pay.

A French deputy receives a salary Of
5000 francs &1.SOO). He also receives
free railway transportation and free
luncheons at the bar Of the Palais
Bourbon, where many a lawmaker
spends more time than ne does in the
Sale DIES Seances. Some are accused
Of taking all their meals at the free
lunch counter A deputy even gets, at
reduced rates, special brand of cigars
which is called "cigare de deputies" "
With these cigars he treats his infuen-
tial constituents In spite Of all these
privileges, there have been many COM
plants that, unless he has a large per-
sonal income, a deputy cannot live de-
Gently. Therefore many members of
parliament when they are not we'll to
do have to make up for the insufficient
cy of their pay by contributing to news
papers or pleading in the courts.-Cen~

The Hedgehog.

The hedgehog runs the roads in Eng
land freely. He is a quaint little fell
low, our hedgehog, having far more
intelligence than people give him credit
for. 1t is curious, as you stand per-
fectly still in the middle Of the road, to
see him come running along, then stop
ping to sniff and whine and examine
the high, strange object that hardly
brea thes lest he startle the little crea-
ture Then, with a gentle grunt, he
will pass you by. A very low yet de-
cided grunt he gives, and he whines as
Magazine.

The Way of Whistler.


His manservant entered the studio.
"Well?" said Whistler. Lady Some
body, sir" said the servant (she was
one Of the great ladies of the British
peerage). where is she?" I'm her
carriage at the door, sir" Whistler
took no further notice of his servitor,
but resumed the reading of his proof
sheets to me, and the puzzled footman,
who was standing behind his masters
back and facing me, shook his head
slowly up and down and, like Longfel-
lows Arabs, SILENTLY stole away"
Thus the reading went on for quite ten
minutes longer, and the readers sole
auditor fidgeted more and more till, re-
alizing how deadly cold it was on that
March day, l called out to him, Il beg
your pardon, Mr.. Whistler, but l think
I overheard your servant telling you
that a lady was waiting to see YOU"
"Oh," said he, ''let her wait; let her
wait! I'm mobbed with these peOple!'
Then he went on reading for fully fif-
teen minutes more, and after that (his
voice was getting tired, dare say he
condesceDded to go downstairs and re-
ceive her shivering ladyship.-F. Keep

The creeping plant we call myrtle is
not a myrtle at all, but should be called
by it's proper name, periwinkle. Botan-
ically it is Vinca minor. Long ago it
used to be called ''the ivy of the
ground" Chaucer mentions it as 'fresh
pervincke, rich of hew." The large
blue flowers are very pretty. In Tus-
cany it is known as ''the death flower
on account of its being so often planted
upon graves, a custom which is begin
ming to prevail in this country. There
is pretty variegated leaHed variety
and also a sport with white flowers not
so pretty as the blue.

Look High Ter

Never cultivate second or third rate
folk except for artistic purposes. Meet
them, if you must; leave them when
you can. You need expect nothing from
them that they can conscientiously
withhold, for they are after your goods
while keeping a strict and jealous
watch upon their own. All you can get
from them is material, never any spir-
itual, intellectual, wise, sane or moral
or helpful messages.

Shaking Hands at French Funerals.

A most painful custom at French
funerals is the posting at the exit door
of the church wherein the ceremonies
take place Of the male head Of the de-
ceased persons family, the widower
or the eldest son or brother, whose
duty it is to shake hands with every
person who has been present at the OBJ
sequies when once they are over and
people are going away. 1t is not eti-
quette for the gentleman to speak to
anybody, but if he is moved to tears
his weeping is considered a most APP
propriate action.

AS YOU LIKE IT
A Pleasing Performance of Shake-
 speare's Famous Comedy.

The Hardwick theater contained a very fair sized audience last night, which witnessed an unusually pleasing performance of "As You Like It." pre- sented by that talented little woman, Florence Gale, who was supported by a most excellent company.
 Though Phoenix seems to get her full share of bad shows of the melodramatic order, the Shakespearian productions do not often come this way, and it is a pleasure to say that when they have come they have been for the most part entirely creditable and a delight to the atergoers. Last night was the first of Shakespeare's plays to be presented this year, and that the manner of its presentation was entirely satisfactory was testified to by frequent applause. Miss Gale is undoubtedly the greatest Rosalind since the stage days of Mary Anderson, and well deserves the nice things that are being said about her wherever she goes. She not only has a fine conception of the piece, but is also young and handsome, which counts for much in the particular role she plays. George Sylvester as Orlando, appeared with becoming grace and is well suited to the part. Margaret Bower, ss Celia, and Gertrude Fowler, as Phoebe, also claimed a fair measure of attention, and are very attractive young women.
 The supporting characters with few exceptions, were all that could be de- manded. The scenery, specially adapt ed to this play was sufficiently decep- tive to satisfy the most critical, and the forest of Arden particularly trans ported the mind to the proper envir- onment for the enjoyment of the wood land dialogues.

THAT COLORADO ELECTION
Each Day Brings Forth New Features
 of the Contest.

Denver, Dec. 2S.-Attorneys Charles $. Thomas and Samuel w. Belford filed a petition in the supreme court today on behalf of Ava Adams, gover- elect, asking that either the court or a commission appointed by the court shall open all ballot boxes used in Denver in the late election and make a thorough examination of their contents. After hearing arguments on the petition the court announced that it would render a decision tomorrow at p. m.
 The court today also announced it's decision not to grant the application
 of Micheal Beshoar, the democratic
 candidate for state senator in Las Ami
 mas county, for leave to file appIica-
 tion for a writ of mandamus to com
 pei the state board of canvassers to
 canvass returns showing his election
 and issue a certificate to him. This
 decision applies likewise to a contest
 from Boulder county, where Senator
 Charles B. Ward, democrat, was re-
 elected on the face of the returns and republican attorneys asked the board
 to issue a certificate to the republican
 candidate. The court decided that it
 had no jurisdiction over the board. Immediately after the decision was given the board proceeded with the can vass behind closed doors. The pre- caution of locking the doors was taken in order to prevent service of a writ
 of injunction issued by District Judge Samuel L. Carpenter restraining the board from issuing certificates of cleo tion to the republican contestants, Cas- 1 imero Barela and H. B. Willard. A deputy sheriff bearing the injuction read it through the key hole. The board nevertheless granted certificates , to Barela and Willard. When the doors were opened the writs were served on members
