A Direct Appeal.

A story is told of Il New York car
conductor who had once been in the
ministry and who retained some of his
former ways of speech in his new call
ing. He had been at the front of the
car collecting fares, and when he re-
turned to his platform well disposed
person told him that man had board
ed the car at Houston street and had
found place inside. The conductor
stepped inside the doorway and ran his
mild gaze up and down the car, but
could not he sure which Of the tightly
packed passengers was the late arrival.
"Will the gentleman who got on ut
Houston street please rlse?' he asked
calmly.
The gentleman rose involuntarily,
and, with bow and Thank your

Irving's Uphill Fight.

When Irving first appeared in GER

This great Shakespearean actor rose

LOVES WOODEN STATUE.
Cleveland Woman Wants Divorce
because her Husband WOr-
81 ships an Idol.

Falling in love with an image seems
not have been passion peculiar to the
ancient Greeks. In Cleveland, o., Mrs.
August Huletts has brought suit for di-
vorce against her husband because of
jealousy of a statue which Mr.. Huletts
has carved from wood and upon which
he lavishes entirely too much affection.
Mr.. Huletts is master mechanic,
but he has the artistic temperament
and hand and eye that work together.
Some time ago he conceived the idea of
carving female figure from a solid
block of wood. The figure was to be
according to his ideal, and, unwisely,
he did not even ask his wife to pose
for il.
After several months of indefatigab.e
work the figure was finished. The more
unlike Mrs. Huletts it became the less
satisfied was the wife. Now that the
statue is done, Huletts has clothed it in
the finest garments, and his wife
charges that all the affection that once

out into the night they beheld Murray
charging up and down the main street
shooting as he went.
This was not exciting enough, so
Murray did the usual thing in such
cases made and provided. He rode his
horse into the saloon owned and oper-
ated by man named Ager. Murray
wanted more whisky, and when it did
not come fast enough he shot few bot
ties to pieces with his revolver. This
accelerated the movements of the bar
keeper, and Murray added still more to
his overplus of whisky and blood.
During these antics Murray's horse
was charging around the saloon and a
large oil lamp was overturned. In a
moment the room was in blaze, and
Murray rode his horse out into the back
yard. Here he. found himself Enclosed
with a high board fence on three sides.
with no hope of escape, and the burning
saloon on the other. Digging his spurs
into his horse he charged through the
fire and down the road up which he
had come.
The people of Sunol turned out to
fight the fire first. and when they had
succeeded in putting that out they
turned to look for Murray, but Murray
had already gone. and nothing re-
NAMED but the damaged sa,oon and
the recollections of lively night for
Sunol.

MURRAY'S NIGHT OUT.
He Game Forth from the Darkness,
Ha@ ais Fun, and the Place
Knew Him No More.

The San Francisco Call says that with
blood in his eyes, cartridges in his re-
volver and plentiful supply of whis-
ky in his stomach, Charles Murray
rode into Sunol the other night. He
increased the supply of blood in his
eye and whisky in his stomach and de-
creased the number of cartridges in
his revolver while he took possession
of the town for an hour.
Murray came from somewhere out OF
the darkness in the canyon over near
Pleasanton. As Sunol is a very quiet
little town Murray's presence was soon
noticed, for fusillade of shots from a
revolver does not occur there every
night in the week. When the shots at

pie of Sunol and they peered cautiously

was hers has been transferred to the
image. She says that Huletts at times
locks himself into a room with the
wooden woman, remaining there for
hours at time. She has never con-
cealed her jealousy of the wooden inter-
,oper. and Huletts has taken the pre-
caution to keep the figure locked and
bolted in while he is away.
Some of Mrs. Huletts' friends, says
the Chicago Tribune, have tried to
make light of her alleged grievance.
They have recommended that she get a
wooden Indian from some tobacconist
and make love to it with desperate
ardor. But her troubles are too real.
