A Difference In Definition.

From the New York Times.
 A little lady of most demure appearance had occasion to go far out of her usual envrons It was the rush hour when she was trying to push her way into a crowded car little above the bridge. She was almost crushed in the jam. Right against her, pushing most roughly, was a husky young fellow of the Bowery type. The little gentle woman to protect herself from being utterly crushed tapped the big fellow with the tip of her parasol. saying:
 "Stop! Stop. you are mashing me-"
 Madam" declared the young man of the Bowery, looking down on the demure little lady, you are mistaken. l am not admlring you at all"

ICE CREAM DID IT.
Shattered Loves Young Dream In a
 Hurry.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 Come early tomorrow evening and we will sit in the park" she had coyly said as Walter bade her a loving good night and went down the steps.
 He had replied with a smile and a nod He was young and guileless man, and this was his first love. He had never been buncoed.
 The next day semed never ending to him, but finally the sun went to bed and Walter found girl hanging on his arm and headed for a park Under the budding trees they sat down to hear the last songs of the robins before roosting high. He sat with her hand In his, and for ten minutes neither spoke. Then Helen softly breathed into his ear:
 That must be an ice cream parlor across the street"
 q think it's beer saloon," he re- piled, as chill went up his back.
 But ladies are going in there."
 Yes, but 1t is fashionable now for ladies to go into Der saloons"
 She sought to pull her hand away, and there was silence for a moment. Then she said:
 T can almost taste chocolate ice cream"
 Tt Is onions you smell" he replied "Someone is cooking them for supper"
 She moved a few inches away from him. and under the electric light he saw her eyebrows come together and her nose point straight into the air.
 "It seems to me that if l had dish of ice cream" she softly began, but as she paused he broke in:
 You might have bilious collie before morning.
 MT. D'Puy will you have the kindness to escort me homeg
 Certainly, my dear, but why this hurry? Perhaps the band "Now-at once, siri But Helen" Miss Taylor, if you please" But l thought we came out "so we did. sir, and we have come in, sir. and good night, sir. l shall not be at home tomorrow evening"

Our National Apple.

From the Atlantic.
 Emerson calls the apple our ma tional fruit and it has good title to the name both as a willing and as a tanned and chosen companion of man. From north to south and from east to west 1t spreads it's roots and rears it's trunk. The pioneer, when he selects his newly chosen home, plants seeds from the old home orchard around the newly reared walls of his cabin the great landowner beautifies his acres and enhances their value with rare and rich selections of trees, and each tree has family receipt for flavor which 1t implicitly follows; each species keep ing inviolate the virtue of mixture. We can imagine a gossipy Seek-no-further trying to extract from youthful Spitz- enberg the secret of it's spicy acid, but it would remain forever untold. Each one gathers it's own store of flavors and mixes them with unvarying skill and always with the same result.

Governor Hughes.

From the New York Sun.
 Governor Hughes has shown that chief executive so green to the game of ''prac- tical' politics that he cannot boast of ever having bought a vote or solicited bribe or backed a strike bill can overcome the opposition of a carefully selected and splenddly organized company of lex perenced" statesmen.
 Governor Hughes has shown that man of good mental equipment, of industry, of firm purpose and reasonably decent polit- ieal principles is at no disadvantage in a contest with the statesmen of the slime, no matter how able and expert they may be. This is not the least valuable of his services to date.
