Among the Hlghbrows.

A famous baseball man is a prolific
story teller, and oftentimes his yarns
are the source OF amusement to his
friends. Here is one OF his new
ones:
"A friend of mine, a metropolitan
merchant, who had amassed quite q
fortune by close application to his
business, was being entertained one
evening at a friends house, where
he encountered a number OF young
woman graduates, whose conversation
suddenly turned to a discussion OF the
development OF the English novel.
THE merchant speedily experienced
a feeling within which told him that
he was out of it. After a few min
utes OF animated colloquy, during q
brief respite, one of the young women
turned to him sweetly and asked:
What do you think Of Fielding.
Mr.. Ellis?'
"'Oh. fielding Is important. OF
