Tho Black Maria.

In Boston's early days a negress
named Maria Lee kept a sailors
boarding house near the water
front. She was a woman of gigan-
tic size and prodigious strength and
was Of. great assistance to the au-
thorities in keeping the peace.
When an unusually troublesome fell
low was on the way to the lookup
Black Maria, as Maria Lee was call
ed, would come to the assistance OF
the policeman, and her services
we're in such requisition for this
purpose that her name was associat-
ed with almost every arrest made.
Black Maria often carried a pris-
oner to the lookup on her shoulder,
and when the prison van was insti-
tuted for the purpose of carrying
prisoners it naturally enough was
styled the Black Maria.

HE GOT COFFEE.
The Major. Asked For Tea, but That
Made No Difference.


Made No Difference.
Back in the seventies of the last
century, when the Kansas division
of the Union Pacific was called the
Kansas Pacific, Major E. D. Red
dington, who had served with dis
tinction in the civil war, was pay
master. At that time the paymas-
ter was the biggest man connected
with the road in the estimation of
the employees and the people living
in the towns along the line, and his
arrival in the pay car was usually
the occasion for a great outpouring
of the people.
One night Major Reddington's
car pulled into the town of Wallace.
The major and his clerks were CIV
en- a grand welcome by the people.
They were escorted to a railroad
boarding house and treated as royal
guests. 1t was conducted by bux-
ON Irishwoman, who boasted that
she set the best table Of any town
along the road.
At supper that night every regu-
lar boardcr tnrncd up at the table
looking his best. The Irish "land-
lady," as the called her. appeared
in a neat b;ne calico dress, all
primped up ard smiling.
"Tay r coTce?" she asked, with
pretty courtesy, as she passed
from one guest to another.
TIE regular boarders understood
it all, and they answered, Coffee,
please. num-" Major Reddington,
however, was a down east Yankee
and not much of q coffee drinker,
so when the question was put to
him he replied with his usual po-
liteness:
81 will have cup OF tea, II you
please"
1t almost took her breath away.
The look Of disgust on her face
caused the regular boarders to tit
ter. Then she flared up.
Say coffee, ye 'omadahn, f'r we
have no tay," she said as she poured
the majors cup full of steaming
colfee.-Kansas City Star.

Sentiment In the Wedding.

Very few persons have the cour-
age to be married quietly, without
fuss or expense. Men have some
times gone through the ceremony
and left their wives at the church
door. But in such cases the mar
riage was one of compulsion or
state necessity and in nowise af-
fected the general custom. The old
fashion of the posy ring, given on
the wedding day, was pretty, and
these rings, with their quaint con-
ceits and affectionate notices, are
now eagerly sought after as curiosi-
ties. In these prosaic times lovers
no longer share broken coins or
the halves of a locket or give min
iatures to wear around the neck, as
even George w., that heartless and
selfish monarch, did, being buried
with the picture of Mrs. Fitz-Her-
bert hanging on his breast. Little
items of sentiment are gradually
disappearing, but not the fine
clothes, the parade, the extraya-
gance, the crowds and the cham
pagne.-London Queen.

Curran, when master of the rolls
in Ireland, was going one day to a
levee at the castle. There was a
great press of carriages, when all at
once he was startled by the pole of
the carriage which followed him
crashing through the back of his.
He hastily put his head out of tho
window, crying to his coachman:
"Stop, stop! The pole of the car
riage behind is driven into U.s."
"Arrah, then, it's all right again,
