The Irresistible Lily.

When Mrs. Langtry was at the sum-
NIT of her beauty and her fame-when
crowds followed her in Bond street
and In the Row-she met at a semi
royal dinner an African king. Mrs.
Langtry, dazzling in her beauty, sat
beside this king. She was in good
spirits. and she did her best to amuse
and please him. And she must have
succeeded. for at the dinners close he
heaved a deep sigh and said to her,
"Ah. madam. il heaven had only made
you black and fat you would be ire
eistibla.'

A Surprise For the Weather Prophet.
A century and half ago people used
to depend upon the weather prognosti-
cations in Partridge's Almanac One
day Partridge himself put up at a
country inn for dinner. The hostler
advised him to stay the night. as 1t
would certainly rain. NONSENSE
said Partridge. and proceeded on his
way. Soon a heavy shower fell. which
so impressed the traveller that he in
stantly rode back to the inn and offer
ed the hostler half crown IL he would
tell him how he knew the rain was i'm
imminent.
We'll" replied the man, with a grin,
pocketing the coin. 1.-The truth is we
have Partridge's Almanac here, and
he's such a liar that whenever he
promises fine day we know it will be
foul. Today is set down as fine"

If street car companies granted
the men the increase they ask, the
average weekly wage of their en-
ployes would still be only $19.05.
.$1e.65 a week is hardly enough
to allow man to keep dog and
himself in comfort, far less wife
and family.
And most of the street car men
are good citizens, with wives and
families, and a desire to bring
their families up decently.
Yet it looks as if the men
would have to go on strike and
undergo all the suffering that
strike means to get that $19.65.
Yet the street Car companies,
even after paying the city S. per
