MIR GREEN LOST HIS BET.


 That crowd on the boardwalk at White City was refusing bets last week on the bloodless young chap that plays doll in front of the wax works" said the wag. MT. Green from Metropolis posted Q glass of fizz that bub was a piece of waxworks. There was about sixty persons in the crowd, and only two hands went up for the prize. May be we ain't a sporty bunch, but it looks more like the paraffin lad had the call on the crowd. \-,- s
 "The figure, you know, is slightly out of the ordinary. It wears a dress suit, with the customary silk hat and white gloves, and in addition has long stream CTS of colored ribbon attached to its cuffs. The arms move up and down in a jerky, mechanical sort of way that suggest & squeak and rattle, while the head twists from side to side with the smooth, oily motion of a sewing ma chine agents talker. It was an easy guess that g. live one in a dress suit looks as dolly as the figure but when the winkless eyes of him point out the crowd commences to get out it's two pICetS uI1SS'
 While MT. Green from Metropolis was trying to bet bigger crowd col lected just in time to see the powdered and suited figure fall rigidIy against one of the braces of the platform. It, or what you call him, was placed upon its feet again; and MT. Green offered to double his bets. & -5
 Suddenly cane was placed in dol- lys hands. He clasped it in a warm American fashion, The figure walked to the front of the stage. Ladies and gentlemen it spouted, and MT. Green, of Metropolis, fell in a fit.
 That is the kind of stunt taht looks easyy but is the result of five years patient practice: The paraffin gent told me so himself. Fontanelle, as he calls himself, is an artist with a big A, who carries his art so far as to drop dope in his eyes to deaden the ex- precision and keep from winking. In private life, when he is no longer Fon- tanelle, but plain Mr. Jones, or Skinny Ryan, or something of the kind, his features are just as susceptible to the merry merry as yours or mine.

LONG WATT OF PATIENT LOVERS

LONG WATT OF PATIENT LOVERS.
 A romantic wedding, which for many years had been delayed, owing to a woman's promise, took place at Sower- by near Thirsk in the North Riding of Yorkshire, yesterday.
 For nearly a quarter of century the bride had acted as confidante and housekeeper to a maiden lady who pos- sessed considerable means. Many years ago the housekeeper met a gardener, and was wooed by him with success.
 But the housekeeper had promised her mistress to stay with her until she died, and so the love story became ono of patient waiting.
 Three or four weeks ago the mistress died in her nine teenth year, leaving to her faithful housekeeper her house. plate and furniture, as well as one thousand pounds in money.
 Many messages of congratulation reached the bride and bridegroom yes- terday from friends who knew the Sto- ry of their courtship.-London Daily Express.

 The evidence against the man was exceedingly strong and his defense was Imaginable To the charge of burglary the defendant asserted that he had used no force in entering the house, but on being questioned admitted that he had used force in his exit. Rey- holds by his demeanor in telling his story thought he was playing hide and seek with justice, but on being in- formed that force either on entering in the night season, the dwelling house of another, oar on leaving, constituted burglary, the person was non-plussed.

 As soon as we see a new design in wall paper or draperies, we begin to think of all the things that would look well with it.
