story that the Duke Of Marlborough

Still in the Dark.

Here is a story of the handwriting
of Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the
Sierras," who has the reputation of
being the worst penman in America
since the days of Horace Greeley.
He was invited by the secretary of
a well-known club to take part in
some festive celebration.
His answer covered four pages, but
no one could decipher it.
There was nothing for it but to
write again to Mr.. Miller regretting
that it could not be determined
whether his communication was an
acceptance or a refusal, and adding,
eff you will be present on the date
mentioned, will you kindly make a
cross on the bottom Of this letter?
If it will be impossible for lou to ap-
pear, will you kindly draw a circle?"
BY return Of post the letter came
back with a sign appended according
to request.
But it was absolutely impossible
for any one to say whether it was
meant to be a cross or a circle.-Tit.

the head of the movement to establish
a new trade union among the working
women of America. The object OF
this movement is to get rid of the

effect the present Woman's Trade

said: IT propose to start a campaign

are not doing what they ought to stem
