balls are now given by such organiza-
lions as the Old Guard, who have been
giving balls eighty years, the Emerald
association, and the like. These balls
attract a few representatives Of what
is loosely known as high society but
for the main their own special Glen
tele. Then there are such affairs as
the annual ball of the Ihpetongas in
Brooklyn, where a fine and intellec-
tual society may be observed in it's re-
taxation.
The balls that make the widest an
peal are not society events at all, but
the annual free-and-easy affairs, of
which the Arion ball is the finest. This
is attended by many prosperous Ger
man-Americans and their families and
their artistic talent makes it a delight
full spectacle, with fancy features not
carried beyond the bounds of good
taste. The famous French ball is a
money making scheme pure and sim
ple-not so very pure or simple either,
come to think. about it. Much of it's
gayety is hired for the night, and is
not even permitted to be gay and earn
it's wages, at that. No more may the
festive coryphee kick off the police
mans helmet OF pour wine at 81 a
quart down the back of the elderly
rounder. Most of the gayety nowadays
consists TN soddenly and suddenly get
ting drunk and being oblivious to the
remainder of the proceedings.

AND THEN HE SKINNED OUT
Bought the Tiger Skin, But It Was
Still on the Advancing
Animal.

When it became known that the best
shot in the regiment was going into
the jungle to compass the death of a.
terrible tiger, the surgeon major of the
regiment, an enthusiastic curio collec-
tor, at once buttonholed him, relates
the New York Telegraph.
Remember, Atkins" said he, Il be-
speak the skin at your own price,"
"All right, SIR" said Atkins.
The surgeon majGE was netting but
terfies on the outskirts of the Jungle
that evening, when he saw Atkins run
ming toward him.
<"Shot him." shouted the surgeon
major,
eyes, sir!" breathlessly replied tho
flying Nimrod.
How much for the skim"
give dollars, sir!"'
The doctor gave Atkins the money.
where's the skin?' he cried.
Behind you, sir!!" came the receding
answer.
The doctor looked, and saw the skin.
with the tiger in it, coming open
mouthed and bleeding from a scratch
where Atkins had "shot" it. The doc
tor didn't get the tigers skin, but the
tiger nearly got the Doctors.

LCSS.
Meehan was until Dolan's death the
nephew" in the firm of P. Dolan &
Nephew. He is a tall, intellectual look
ing man of slender build who looks
we'll in a dress suit-and owns one. For
though he spends ten hours a day
dealing out beef and" from behind
his own counter with his own hands he
is a rich man.
Dolan invented the business. He
framed up a short list of easily pre-
pared and simple articles Of food 40
years ago and hung it on the wall. It
has never been changed. You can get
boiled eggs at Meehan's and dry toast
but you can't get poached egg on
toast or fried eggs. They're too mus
sy" for the shade of the departed Do
Ian, which rules not the roast but the
beef and" Everything on the short
list is good of it's kind, the "sinkers"
man being an artist in his line. "Sink-
ers" are deadly but Johnny's are only
slow death.
Greeley used to eat at Dolan's. Jay
Gould walked up from Wall street to
take luncheon there. President Roose-
welt often ate there when he was po-
lice commissioner, and he remembers
the place. No one forgets Dolan's be-
cause it has Individuality. It has
made two fortunes.

The boss laughed fit to choke, and SEE:
"Oh, no, Addie. That's me under

Then he phones me with his face to

and Traders bank of Portsmouth, N.
H., used to tell this story: The bank
had as one of it's depositors an eccen-
trio old Greenland farmer. This man,
although he was wealthy, at one time
overdrew his account to the extent of
5000. Notice was, of course, sent to him
Immediately. The next day came this
characteristic reply: "You tell I have
overdrawn my account. 1 knew it.. so
what is the use of you wasting postage
to tell me so. When l trust you with
my money I don't come to your bank
and holler, You've got 5000 Of mine
Why, then, don't you trust me as I do
ou?"-Boston Herald.
