 At last the great event came. All Aunt Sally's friends, dressed in their best, were present, and the evening vas most enjoyable, the only draw. back being the mysterious absence ot the hostess.

FIRST TO CROSS ATLANTIC
steamer Sirius Barely Beat the Great
 Western in 1888.

western Tn 1858.
 The metal of the first steamer that ever crossed the Atlantic from the United Kingdom is to-day performing equally responsible duties in the form of new steam fittings, says the Lon don Express
 The steamship was the Sirins, built of wood and propelled by paddles. She started from Queenstown on April 3. 1S3S. Her story is one of the many ronances of commerce
 After eighteen days she reached New York in a pitiable state. Hey owners had underestimated the fuel she would require and the crew had been compelled to burn every hing combustible on board to keep the boil CTS going.
 On the day that she made the Amer ican harbor there steamed in also lhe Great Western. the first boat specially built for the Atlantic service. She had padded across from Bristol III fourteen and one-half days, starting on April 8. so that the Sirius had a narrow escape from losing the distinc- ton.
 The Sirius does not seem to have made any more Atlantic passages. Probably her owners found that she was unfitted for the lengthy voyage, and she became a coaster along the British Isles.
 The end came when she was Ten years old. for on June 16. 1S47, she was lost off the south coast of Ire land. For fifty years the tides swirled and the fishes played in and around the sunken vessel
 Though lost, she was not forgotten and several attempts were made tp raise her. for the brass. gun-metal and copper In the engines and fittings anu the sheathing of her hull were worth about eco a ton, and there were per haps fifty tons altogether.
 But it was not until May 6 Of this year that she was saved: and at the subsequent sale most of the metal went to Birmingham and has now been worked up by Samuel Mason X Sons, Limited, of Daleend. into steam fittings and taps.
 In the yards of the works at Dale end there Is twisted bar, perhaps eight feet long and three inches in diameter. It Is the crank shaft of the pump of the Sirius, made of the finest brass. and the firm proposes 10 saw il into small sections. engrave them suit ably and present them to various insti- tutions as souvenirs of the little vessel that helped to make history

Sacred to the Memory of MARY ELIZABETH MIX, Wife of Captain Charles Mix, Died May 26, 1S44, Aged 51 Years,

Captain Mix was one of the earliest commanders at the old frontier mill tary post of Fort Gibson. I. T., when this whole vast region. now under the influence of civilization, was a wilder ness, occupied only by wild beasts and rowing bands of wild Indians.
 Captain Mix had plenty of work to do in affording protection to the scat tered whites and in resisting the wild tribes of the plains, with whom he was in almost constant turmoil. The cap tain had come from the East, and was accompanied by his wife. She was a fine horseback rider and enjoyed out door life. often riding out with her husband on the prairies around Fort Gibson. engaging In the hunt. and sometimes on expeditions against the Indians, thus making life to her an and adventure.
 In one of the military expeditions against the fierce Sioux in which sev- eral companies of United States troops were engaged, Captain Mix was am pushed and killed with number of his command The sad news seemed to have changed the whole tenor of the life of Mrs. Mix. who was inconsola <. 8 for the loss of her husband and com panion. She brooded over the matter, and came to the conclusion to avenge the tragic death of her husband She assumed male garb and never missed an opportunity to join an expedition against the Sioux to fight them, being daring and reckless almost to mad ness, distinguishing herself In many a hard and bloody fight
 Mrs. Mix. in her male disguise as a scout continued her warfare of re- yenge for about eight years, under going many hardships and dangers and becoming noted for reckless bray cry and good fortune, so that she at tracted attention of head officers of the army and others and thereby be- came noted.
 Tn one of the expeditions against the enemy the whites were ambushed some killed and others captured among the latter being Mrs. Mix. She managed to escape from her captors, and after long journey through the wilderness in winter weather reached the fort in a famished and almost dy- ing condition. when her sex became known. Although possessing a strong constitution, she never recovered from her journey through the wilderness, becoming a physical wreck. and died at the fort about a year later.-Fort Gibson q. T.) Post.

Judge Is Wise and Polite.

While Charles Wagner. the distin- guished author of The Simple Life" " was in Philadelphia he talked to a young girl about wisdom.
 "Will you give me. sir she said, "a definition of wisdom?'
 I'll give you an illustration of it, :" the philosopher answered-''an illus tration of wisdom, politeness and tact, all in one.
 Tn our French courts there was q wonderful judge. Before him an un- married woman came to bear witness in an important case.
 This womans lips were no longer red. Her eyes were no longer bright. In figure she was no longer slim and supple
 Madam, how old are you?" the judge said.

 You must he answered kindly. You must. It is the law
 She thought moment. She bit her lip. Nervously she put back from her forehead the thin hair touched with gray.
 'Twenty-ni she said I am 29 years old
 The wise, polite and tactful judge inclined his head and smiled.
 And now that you have given us your age he said. do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth""

IT WAS NOT HIS DOG,
Amusing Incident That Happened in
 a Paris Omnibus.


 Placid but stern, brindled bulldog sat in bus. In the seat by his side was an elderly gentleman, says the Paris correspondence of the London Telegraph. The conductor came ur aghast. Do you mean to tell me, he said to the passenger, that you are unacquainted with the police regula. tions forbidding the presence of dogs in 'buses-especially bulldogs?" he added. eyeing the animal. What of that:" answered the elderly gentleman The conductor, naturally choleric. like all his colleagues, grew purple with rage. Remove that dog instantly" he shouted to the passenger, who, per fectly undisturbed, said: Certainly not" Then get out and take the dog with you" By no means" T shall throw the dog out, myself" Do so.' But the conductor did not, having caught the eye of the bulldog, who was beginning to show interest in the proceedings. Il shall call the police, '' the conductor went on." If you like"
 The policeman came. Monsieur Is surely aware" he began, amiably. that dogs ore not allowed in omni- buses?' Il dare say they are not" the placid elderly gentleman replied. "I request you to remove that dog" Most certainly not" ''I shall then take out a summons against you. Kind ly give me your name and address. - With pleasure. if you wish it. But on what ground will you summon me, may I askT' This is too much. You are defying the law. You will be sum- moned for bringing a bulldog into an omnibus" "I fancy not. Why did you not explain before? That is not my bulldog. and I have not the least idea~why it sits beside me- said the elderly gentleman sweetly. At this the fury of conductor and policeman grew almost inarticulate. While they were struggling to express their feelings. another man in the omnibus got up suddenly. whistled. Jumped out and the bulldog followed him. The rest of the passengers, delayed half an hour, hardly appreciated the joke.
