AROUND THE CITY

A languid-looking woman was buying
things at a store. The clerk who waited on
her was attentive and so dapper that he had
an air of having been sandpapered and
waxed. The woman was loquacious:
$50 the doctor said I would just have to
take a sea voyage at once. l don't know
what on earth's the matter with me! I'm
not what you could call sick, exactly, but
I'm always tired-can't get up interest in
things
"Onwee?' suggested the clerk.
II reckon that's what you call it-any-
how. I've got to buy pile of things in a
rush so we can sail Wednesday,"
The clerk went back to have her pur-
chases wrapped, and the proprietor of the
store, who had been standing near and who
was apparently social terms with the
woman, joined her to say, with twinkle In
his humorous gray eyes:
You see, We've got the real thing in
Parisians."
II thought he must be French He looks
so foreign and $3.50 really distinguished
you know"
Born in South Washington, like his pa
rents before him'-and the humorous twin
kle broadened and widened into a jolly
smile-"whfch goes to show what heredity
will do for man. 'Frenchy,, that's our
nickname for him, had a great-grandfather
who was a fine old soldier In Napoleons
army, and who. for some reason, came to
this country in his old age and married.
Every other member of Frenchy's' family
is South Washington to the backbone but
he has harked back three generations and
stands behind that counter as real a polly
yooer as If he had been born and bred in
what he calls Pah-ree. He can read the
language like a native, but, of course hav-
ing no one to talk 1t to, couldn't swear to
his accent, being plain U. S. myself"
Seems like good clerk put in the
woman.
None better; though he ought. by rights,
to be a soldier; handles his yard stick like
sword. Would have enlisted long ago ex-
cept that he's the only support of his
mother-best son that ever lived
The clerk returned with the bundle and
some change, and as he handed them to the
woman he said, with bow:
Bone yowarge, madame.
And the woman made mental dive Into
her Ollend0rf and fshed up enough French
to reply:
"Adieu. monsieur.
Two women were looking at the pictures
III the lecture room of the museum the
other afternoon. Plainly one was d native
who overflowed with knowledge, while the
other was a visitor from some place where
bustles are still In vogue.
AS they reached the life-size painting of
dignitary in blue and gold uniform. the
native stepped over to the door and asked
an attache whose portrait 1t was. He told
her 1t was that of Gen. Paez. He would
doubtless have told her more. but the wo-
man had heard enough--and enough is al
ways as good as feast.

n the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Speaking of the peculiar incidents that oc-
casionally occur on the stage wea-known
actor said that one of the most laughable
happened some time since in the theater OF
thriving town up the state. The scene at
that particular moment was the deck OF a
ship, around which rolled and heaved a vast
theatrical sea. The hero was soliloQuizing
on the pitching deck and the audience was
intently listening to his spellbinding words
when ruddy head protruded through a
hole in the ocean in full view of all. The
hero, however, was equal TO the occasion
CHANGING at the apparently floating head
he Justify yelled:
Man overboardi Man overboardr'
Hardly had he spoken before the head OF
the sea manipulation was withdrawn, and
with a sad sigh that could be heard all over
the house, the actor piteously cried.
''Teo late. too 1atel Another poor fellow
has gone TO his last account

remains were disinterred by the relatives
and buried in Baltimore cemetery one sun
day before large crowd of people. Short
ly afterward at the suggestion of Edwin
Booth and his sister, Mrs. John Sleeper
Clark, who had fears that the grave might
be desecrated, the body was again disin-
tered and laid in the Booth lot in the
Greenmont cemetery, Baltimore, alongside
the body of his father
