"Mamma, I want you to get me that maron sat at Wedgwood's," said Nellie, in an excited tone of voice. "Nellie, do you know that papa can't pay the bills this month, and that Mr. Hudgens will not let us have any more cash until the bill is paid! To tell the truth, every merchant in town has our names and we can't get credit anywhere." "Why don't papa go to work and make money, as other men do? If he hasn't sense enough to be a lawyer, who doesn't be a conductor? They have money." Here I've worked and made over everything on the place." Nellie went on," and there is posi- the key with her. She was hardly out of sight before her mother had opened the clock and way wrapping the handmade dress in unwrapped in order to sixty is to an old lady lameness for her skill in coloring. "I shall do my best about the dress, darling." Mrs. Tucker said to her daughter Nellie, "and I want you to go down town and bring me samples of what you would like. Come back at soon as you can." "Hello," was Nellie's greeting to her sister Kemma, who returned home in time for a grand ball to be given by the Smiths. "We'll come and look at my dream," said Nellie, leading the way. "Lan't it lovely? How did you get it?" Emma asked, fascinated since the piano had been unarrived. My look or smuck—I never troubled my self to ask. "I suppose you know you are too brutally naughty for description!" "I don't care about that—I've got the dress, and I'll quenit it to night over those Smith girls." "You little simpleton!" Amelia Smith can entertain anyone with her music; Mary can converge upon any subject and in any language, and there are many who think she is handsome than you. And still more, they're all traveled, and can converse intelligently, while all you think of how to dress to catch a rich hushed, and your conversation shows it, too." "Envious old cat!" Nellie muttered, as her sister left the room; but the shaft had struck home, and Nellie Tucker began to get a faint glimpse of what others saw as painfully. She was the last to arrive at the ball, and the "fadal rags" felt a little of their insignificance. Emma was dressed in plain white without ornament except white roses and his pocket, dashed a little pepper on the wine, handed back the glass, and found his impatience to join the mourn when Nellie said: "Don't let me fall upon the hard anything should happen—I feel mourn. In that case you'd better sit down rather replied, linking her almost to a snail. "I wanted to finish—but no matter how much I looked after Miss Tucker got some wine," he said in the poor turning hastily away. Meeting his mother-in-law he stumbled her to get the wine, and search of his wife. "Come into the library," he wished to tell you that girl intended to poison herself after he had closed the door. He this bottle of poison to put in—I didn't, but she doesn't know it in a note; we will read it together. "My life's love," it ran, "it is in dick. Life has no longer any charm your love and kisses are for amusement you not visit my cold mouthed and poke upon my grave? Do this for a loveli heart that could not support its love was lost. Eternally yours." "Her father must know this at once if you not go with me, darling? I hope of your support." Davidson hocked pleadingly at who almost longed as she appeared, and it is not only great strang. He wrapped his wife in a long celer, and they crossed the row.

HEMUS, CE AGENT, Mamma, I want you to get me that ma room sat at Wedgwood's," said Nellie, in an excited tone of voice. Nellie, do you know that papa can't pay the bills this month, and that Mr. Hudgens will not let us have any more coal until the bill is paid? To tell the truth, every merchant in town has our names and we can't get credit anywhere." Why don't papo go to work and make money, as other men do? If he hasn't sense enough to be a lawyer, who doesn't be a conductor? They have money. Here I've worked and made over everything on the place." Nellie went on, "and there is positively not a decent thing in the house. I just won't wear silks with streaks and stitches, showing the made-overness, and I've covered old silks with lace until I'm sick of the sight of them; but I wouldn't mind it so much if I had something ma room. Guy Davison will be here next week and be just won't look at any other color. The woman who attends to his rooms says his furniture is all maroon silk plush upholstering, with maroon carpets and curtains and bed-curtains, bedroom-smoking tape and slippers, dressing gowns and everything." "And his hair is a light maroon," said Emmia, the oldest daughter. "I don't in the least care whether he has any hair at all," tautly rejoined Nellie. "You know I'm not after the man, but the money I would speak to him and I wouldn't give White as fall of such men." "I'll warn you I would have the decency to keep such sentiments to myself." Keeping it to myself wouldn't alter the fact any, and if I keep it constantly before you you may all try to assist me a little: for I am a dangerous person to be related to." To this there was no reply. The mother and sister were used to such expressions. "I wonder if you two have any idea where I stand? I really wonder if you do! Just let me tell you. Rather than marry a poor man I would commit suicide." For heaven's sake, Nellie! Mrs. Tucker exclaimed, and burst into tears. "You needn't cry about it—I would, and I will if I fail again. Do you suppose that I would live the life I see around me? I would rather be dead than live as I do now. Look at the home of those hideous red-healed Smiths opposite. Horses and carriages, a grand house, and new dresses when ever they want them. And their mother was a hired girl, their father a milkman, and not one of two has a natural attraction. And so it is up and down the street on both sides. Everybody has something but me—and yet, when I go to a ball among them, they all look like fooled rage with a scrap of brilliant brocade. You must make some kink of an effort about the maroon, mamma." With this Nellie Tucker left the dining-room and shut herself up for the rest of the day. "Shall I mortgage the piano?" Mrs. Tucker asked of her older daughter. If you do we will lose it." Emma replied. I have had nothing in life but that language, and there are many who think she is handsome than you. And still more, they're all traveled, and can converse intelligently, while all you think of is how to dress to catch a rich husband, and your conversation shows it, too. "Enviros old cat!" Nellie muttered, as her sister left the room; but the shaft had struck home, and Nellie Tucker began to get a faint glimpse of what others saw so painfully. She was the last to arrive at the ball, and the "fadel rag" felt a little of their imagination. Emma was dressed in plain white, without ornament except white roses and dark ivy leaves. She saw the maroon-haired gentleman make his way to her sister's side, where he remained all the evening. She was not certain that he did so willingly, and tell sure he tried to listen to the minis while Amelia was playing. Nellie probably noticed it also, for she talked louder and faster than ever, making frequent appeals that compelled answers. Just before Emma left for home she noticed that Nellie had lost her admirer, and as she passed through the library on her way to the dressing-room, she saw him talking quite earnestly to Amelia Smith, who seemed regally indifferent. Emma was sitting by her window in her dressing-gown, when she heard Nellia go to her room. "I could tear you into shreds, you hateful thing!" she heard Nellia exclaim. "Child! don't!" Mrs. Tucker remonstrated. How dare you color a dress for me! Color! Who says it is colored? "It hateful May Lestrange—she said old Mrs. Bacon did it." And it is my dress! My beautiful pink! embled Emma, bursting into the room. "Oh, mother, what will you do next? You're welcome to it. I'll never wear it again." Nellia exclaimed, throwing the dress at her sister piece by piece, as she wrenched it off. "It failed of its mission; certainly. When Mr. Davison finally got out of your clothes he took Amelia into the conservatory and begged a thousand pardons, explaining his inability to escape from you." "I don't believe it!" Nellia, don't you know better than that how to attract men? You will never succeed in anything that way except to disgust anyone? Anybody could see that Mr. Dayidson was dying to get away from you, and the way you behaved while Amelia was singing was just drearful. How your Guy did snow! Leave the room! Every word you have uttered is a tissue of falsehood. "It wouldn't hurt so if it was," said Emma over her shoulder as she went away. In less than a week cards were out for the wedding. Guy Davidson and Amelia Smith were to be married. "You must give me one more costly dress, mamma," Nellie Tucker remarked, as she came into the kitchen looking pale and broken, with the wedding card in her hand. "I promise to never ask you again. You can mortgage the piano." John will help you rename it. A thousand dollars will be enough—I mean a hundred. You will won't you, mamma? I sinfully promise you never to ask again." Yes, yes. Davidian blushed crimson, and didn't know. She calls you a maroon-hairred-says you are nobody apart from you.Doesn't she mother? "That note is not an exposition daughter's feelings." Mrs. Tucker "She certainly has contempt for usually." That is of no importance," replies son, stiffly; "what you want to watch the young lady and prevent bereather." Not the least bit of danger—he fetch Nellia home," said Mr. Tucker. He found his daughter sitting at elderly ladies looking rather frighten came across the room as she awakened to be taken home.Mrs. Tema were awaiting them in tha! Ha! hal suicide! Emma laughs.Nellie hesitated a moment,and ing straight to her room looked lily. "What must we do?" Mrs. Tucker turning helplessly to her husband. "We can't do anything.She herself in,and you know.with her we would hardly dare to open,the breaking lock." That is all unnecessary fame," marked. Nellil will no more than she'd go to work—at least that while satin is fresh and new." You need not be so severe," said reprovingly. But there is no danger of her taking poison that her Tricks.Weddiamon-all she went leave in her peace.She will get mortification and be quite herself few days. Next morning Nellie did not breakfast which was nothing unclever that she was taking office pleased that she was taking office meant so gently.Mrs. Tucker knew Nellia's door several times,but recurrent answer went around to the window took off the screen.She looked in, uttering a piercing scream,fell far the floor. Nellia lay dead upon her bed near her ball dress,hers hands folded a bounn.Her dark gray eyes were and staring. There were two not table one to the man she really loved Hammedan—in which she begged hams,and told him she could be married a poor man.The other reacted to her mother,giving order burial.There were no words of remorse for her waisted important life in her last moments.Ever had hail been on dress alone,and LOS ANGELES.

Everybody has something but me—and yet, when I go to a ball among them, they all look like felled rags with a scrap of brilliant brocade. You must make some kink of an effort about the maroon, mamma." With this Nellie Tucker left the dining-room and shut herself up for the rest of the day. "Shall I mortgage the piano?" Mrs. Tucker asked of her older daughter. "IIf you do we will lose it." Emma replied. I have had nothing in life but that, and if that goes I don't see but I must use Nellie's remedy." "It is very unfriendly for you to talk—" "Unfeeling! Do you know what I have suffered for the last eleven years? My every wish has been set aside for her. You began dressing her at 14, and I was 19. Little by little everything has been used up on her, and now I humbly ask for her male-over silks when she has no use for them. And she isn't marrying with your patern." "With her beauty anybody would have thought it would pay to drum her." "Dress is not supreme, even among a shoddy set like Kisworth street. There must be something else, and you and papas have simply ruined Nellie. Why didn't you keep her back as you did me? Why did you dress her at my expense? She was born selfish, and you have fostered that misinformness. If mother would only try to make their daughters worthy women, their natural beauty would then help them. It has been pour Nell's rain." "Why do you use such language about your sister?" "She avows her infatuation of marrying man, loving another." "That is girlish nonconcern. Can't you help me device means to get a maroon drawe for her?" "We might order my pink silk—I would give it for the blonde." Mrs. Tucker pondered. "Don't you want to go out to George's far side? You and Nellie ought to be acquainted for advice—and you need the rest." "And can I take Nellie's blue silk and fix it over for myself?" "Oh Nellie will not marry again! Besides, it would never be here till someone children—the would understand it if wherever your child is ever for myself!" "Some people are proud in her breast and faded in their brains and faces." "It wouldn't hurt so if it was," said Emma over her shoulder as she went away. In less than a week cards were out for the wedding. Guy Davidson and Anselia Smith were to be married. "You must give me one more costly dress, mamma," Nellie Tucker remarked, as she came into the kitchen looking pale and broken, with the wedding card in her hand. "I promise to never ask you again. You can mortgage the piano." John will help you renounce it. A thousand dollars will be enough—I mean a hundred. You will won't you, mamma! I solently promise you to ask again." "Yes, yes," Mrs. Tucker replied hastily, "but don't you think you'd better go on a visit to your grandpa's! I am sure they will treat you more kindly this time." "No, no—don't try to convince me or change my purpose." I have made up my mind—I am determined. Mrs. Tucker obtained the money, and the dress was bought and made. Nellie brought all her skill to bear, and the result was satisfactory, even to herself—lace, orange blossoms and main so arranged as to display her natural charm to the best advantage. "A piece of impudence!" Mrs. Smith mattered to a lady near, "She's did her best to outshine my Amelia, and I believe she's did it. It mayn't have cost so much, but that dream," that youngest Tucker girl is a heap their bookin' than here." "It is not so rich—Amelia's is plain and elegant," was the com-memory reply. "Everybody'll know jen' what she's after anyway." What is that? To obtain the bride—that is what she came for. Nellie was among the first to offer her graduation after the family.. She took her stance near the bridal party, and was soon the master of an admiring circle. Later, when the dancing began, she allowed her card to be filled, reserving two waiters for the bridesgroom. He had not asked them, but she hardly knew his name, and showed it to him, whispering: For the last time—I shall never walk again—you will insignify me this show, will you need! He mounted, though only half at once. During the first she was strangely silent, but when the Daughter struck up who she whispered: "One more dream of heaven!" and swung away to the painful throbbing of the incision on if she were draining the last meal of film." As he have been really tired of them troubled even it still wasn't enough. Will you give me a slim of wood? She almost promised it she would be able to sit down in front of the screen. She looked in at uttering a piercing scream, fell far the floor. Nellie lay dead upon her bed in her ball dress, her hands folded in bacon. Her dark gray eyes were and staring. There were two not tables; one to the man she really loved Hammond—in which she begged him, and told him she could not be married to her mother, giving order burial. There were no words of remorse for her waistport life in her last moments. Ever her hall been on dress alone, and she managed the unhappy woman to be the costume she prized so highly. So perished Nellie Tucker, over-indulgence and footwear from a real life, my dear girl reader? have not told it in vain.

They had completed the drumming of the horn when Nellie said: "Don't let me fall upon the hand floor if anything should happen—I feel very uneasy." In that case you'd better sit down," Dedham replied, holding her almost formally in a seat. "I wanted to finish—but no matter, take it," and she put into his hands an enclosed "Please look after Miss Tucker—I will at some wine," he said to the people near, grinning happily away. Meeting his mother-in-law he commenced her to get the wine, and went in march of his wife. "Come into the library," he whispered, have something to tell you. I believe that girl intended to poison herself," he said, but he had closed the door. "The gave this bottle of poison to put in her wine didn't, but she doesn't know it, and here a note; we will read it together." "My life's love," it ran, "it is for you I. Life has no longer any charms when our love and kisses are for another. Will not visit my old mound and pat flowers on my grave? Do this for a loving faithful heart that could not support life when I love was lost. Eternally yours." "NELLIK." "Her father must know this at once. Will you not go with me, darling?" I have used your support. Davidson kicked pleadingly at his wife, who almost longed as she replied: "That girl was getting up a scene; that prussia色 she gave you, even if it was small of almonds." "How do you know it amells of almonds?" "I smell it—you have some of it on your milkkeller!" "You are mistaken about this not beingusion: I am well acquainted with the preparation, and it is not only genuine, but real." He wrapped his wife in a long dark circular, and they crossed the road to theacker residence, where Emma had only at arrival. "We wish to see your parents at once— impet as furnishing them with my laurels or merely convenience, 200,000,000 and more have nothing that can be called a home. Fully three times of the roe, therefore, lie below the line which the civilization of the Anglo-Saxon would fix as the lowest limit at which derivation and discomfort can be endured. Of course the above is a division by sex, and (take no account of the great need else) in the entire civilized countries. Boy's and Girls' Launch: A gentleman of Islam stopped recently near one of the coffee and pie stalls that abound down town in the neighborhood of large employing establishments with the purpose of acordaining what the boys and girls ate and drank at their noonday lunch. So soon as the whistle blew for 13 o'clock he found the stands awarded and more coming. Many of the boys and girls came kettle in hand, which was filled with either "coffee" or milk, and after a light purchase of pie or cake the lunch was carried to the shop for consumption. The milk is necessarily good, as it wouldn't pay the proprietor of the stand to have it otherwise, and have an inspector with his lactometer to discover it. The "coffee" is not subject to official inspection, and therefore is generally worthy of doubt. The pie, he fancied, must be good, as they are supplied by great manufacturers who turn them out by the thousands and can afford to put palatable "works" of varied ingredients into them, as by buying fruits and berries and angus; in big quantities they get them very cheap. As to the crust, it isn't any too rich. The cakes were dry, and what nourishment the girls that eat them obtain from the peculiar food is a puzzle. One accomplished young lady, who boasted of a thick bang, when questioned on the subject, replied: "Oh, we soaks 'em." A boy called for a piece of rhubarb pie, and washed it down with a glass of lemonade. He took his lunch after the style of other gentlemen—those who patronize down town Delmonico's, Neah & Crook's and the Astor house. He ate from the counter and called for his check. Possibly he tipped the waiter, too—New York Times. Professor Truly's Talentograph. Among THE ARMS: A Mids for Life and in Videry Against a House of Extermination While setting as newspaper correspondent in Algernon, says Robert Dunn, I had one experience at least that has always emerged in me worth telling. I had been down to the town, in the town of Algernon, after eight months' campaigning at the front against the Arabian, and was to join the North Bengal League of Chennai of Africa, under Colonial Lennan, as a town in the interior called Fortune, as on the 11th of September. But he has a good deal of correspondence, both private and of business nature, to getuff it was; he meeting of the 5th when my husband Fathimo Fathimo myself rode into Morrifano, only so find for once that a brigade of French troops had started on the data set and, as I learned from some friendly Annie who came in, were encouraged at the Serven James Pool, a spot sixty-four miles from the town. These friendly Annie also informed me that the brigade of Oh Lancashire was proudly thoroughly cut off from the main body by rowing parties of health; all however acting on one plaid and under the direction of one leader. Here was the dukes to pay—a prospect of action, of seeing terrors and gathering news that no other London paper would get, was too good news to throw away; so Fabriano and myself held a conversation, and much against his advice and inclination we decided to risk it. Fabriano was a little dark-shinned, slight Franco-Arab, of oft-tried courage, great coolness and devotion to me. I knew that I could trust him in any event, and telling him to make the horrors ready proceeded to overhaul my revolvers and reload them carefully, for there was every probability of my needing them before the night ride was over. At 5 p.m. Fabriano reported everything Davidson kicked pleadingly at his wife, who almost longed as she replied: "That girl was getting up a scene; that prussio acid she gave you, even if it was smell of almonds." "How do you know it amells of almonds?" "I am all it—you have some of it on your backchief." "You are mistaken about this not being reason; I am well acquainted with the preparation, and it is not only genuine, but wrong." He wrapped his wife in a long, dark circular garter, and they crossed the road to the tucker residence, where Emma had only sat arrived. "We wish to see your parents at once—we have something important to communicate," said Davidson, hurriedly. "Mrs. Tucker, I hope you will not be needlessly armed, but your daughter has acted very ransely this evening. You'd better bring our home." "What has she done?" Mrs. Tucker asked, with raging anger. "She gave me this bottle of poison to put wine for her—a said it was something for malache—and she gave me this when she ought it was taking effect." Emma anched the note, read it, and then start out laughing. "You are not still enough to suppose she was yours!" she asked. Davidson blushed crimson, and said he also knew. "She calls you a maroon-haired illist, and you are nobody apart from your money. Don't she mother?" "The note is not an exponent of my daughter's feelings." Mrs. Tucker replied. She certainly contempt for you personally. "It is of no importance," replied Davidson, stiffly; "what you want to do is to watch the young lady and prevent suicide thereafter." "Not the least bit of danger—but I will touch Nellie home," said Mr. Tucker. He found his daughter sitting among the elderly ladies looking rather frightened; she came across the room as she saw him and asked to be taken home. Mrs. Tucker and Emma were awaiting them in the parlor. "Hal hal suicide!" Emma laughed. Nellie besitated a moment, and then going straight to her room locked herself in. "What must we do?" Mrs. Tucker asked, arms helplessly to her husband. "We can't do anything. She has locked herself in, and you know, with her temper, we would hardly dare to open the door by breaking the lock." "That is all unnecessary. Fun," Emma remarked. "Nell will no more kill herself than she'd work—at least, not while white satin is fresh and new." "You need not be so cover," her father said, reprovingly. "But there is not a bit of anger of her taking poison—that was one of her tricks. We'd better go to bed and have her in peace. She will get over the notification and be quite herself again in a few days." Next morning Nellie did not appear at breakfast, which was nothing unusual. Mr. Tucker went down to his office, rather than that she was taking her disappointment so gently. Mrs. Tucker knocked at Nellie's door several times, but receiving no answer went around to the window and took off the screen. She looked in, and then entering a piercing scream, fell fainting to the floor. Nellie lay sleet upon her bed dressed in her ball dress, her hands folded across her arm. Her dark gray eyes were wide open and staring. There were two notes on the table: one to the man she really loved—William—in which she begged his forgiveness, and told him he could never have carried a poor man. The other was directed to her mother, giving orders for her trial. There were no words of love or sorrow for her wasted opportunities and in her last moments. Ever her thoughts been on dress alone, and she combed her hair on all occasions. About two weeks ago a Dakota farmer was approached by a stranger, who said: Professor Ellis Gray, of telephone fame, is perfecting an invention with wonderful possibilities, and one which promises great results. It has already reached that stage which insures its practical success, the experiments thus far proving eminently satisfactory. The "talentograph" is the name by which the instrument will be known, which, by the way, conveys a very fair idea of what the instrument really is. Once in operation it will be possible for the Chicago speculator to deliver to the New York broker a telescopic order to buy or sell 1,000 or 10,000 shores of railroad stock, an exact facsimile of the order being reproduced in that city at the same instant it is written here. If the Chicago man happens to be in New York and wants to send his wife a check for money he simply writes it out in that city, and the moment he is through it in his wife's hands here. The electric current, of course, is an important factor in the invention, but the chief feature is the plate or instrument on which the writing is done. No particular kind of pen or pencil has to be used; in fact, a sharp point instrument of any kind, or even a piece of wood, will answer the purpose. The paper on which the writing is done and the autograph contained does not have to be prepared, for in the first instance it is the pressure on the plate which gives the impulse to the machine, while the reproduction is brought about by a tracing point, which may be a properlyinked pen or even an ordinary lead pencil attached to a movable arm in the receiving machine at the other end of the line.—Chicago Tribune. We didn't sell his drunk so cheap. Standing in the lobby of a hotel in Hamburg not long ago I got into conversation with a gentleman who was representing a medical apparatus with a long Greek name. It is not my intention to give the arrangement for vapor batha a puff, but I do want to describe a rather funny incident that followed our conversation. My companion had just been describing me how his process would sober off in half an hour on the verge of delirium tremens, and how many men never thought of going home to their families without having recourse to his machine. While we were talking a man, evidently very much under the influence of too potent libations, came in, and leaning over the counter, began a rather thick conversation with the clerk. We snuttered over, and soon were on the best of terms with the devotees of Bacchus. After a while the man said he wished he could taper off and go home. Here was an opportunity and the machine above referred to was explained to him. Five minutes later he had staggered up stairs, and stood ready to be cured. His coat was already off, when a drinken Idea seized him. Shay, what er th' cost of a bath? He asked: "Two dollars," was the reply: "Well, his, this drunk's cost twenty dollars, and no feller's gain' to get it for two dollars. I'll keep it first." And he did—Lewiston Journal.

We had agreed to push straight through, stopping for no hast and paying attention to no Arabs; be they friendly or hostile. Fabrino assured me that our horses could do the sixty miles by morning, and though I rather doubted it, it was our only chance, and I was determined to work that only chance for all it was worth. Mile after mile passed in silence; save the muffled sound of our horses' feet in the sand. It was a starlight night; but there was no moon; and there could not have been a better night for an expedition of this kind. Once in passing som tamariscan there was a hall in Arabic, but we only bent lower on tpe necks of our horns and sped on. Time flow on; and we had gone half distance or thereabouts; we halted at a water-hole; reconnoitering carefully before finally riding up to it for fear of finding ourselves in the midst of an Arab vidette—I had had an uneasy feeling for the last few miles; and now that the hoof beats were stilled I could hear the sound of horsemen at some distance behind us. Fabrino heard it; and told me he had heard it for some time.

The human family now living on the earth consists of 1,450,000,000 individuals; not less than that number, and probably more. They are so distributed over the earth's surface that there are now no parts in any size still inhabited. In Asia, there is little doubt the human race has existed, there are now approximately about 800,000,000, an average for the entire continent of 120 to the square mile. The averages and thirsty population steppes of Africa reduce the average population for this continent, which in some parts is the most closely packed quarter of the globe, throughout Himalayan an average of 12 persons to the square mile, and in China proper such square mile represents a population of 226. The population of Europe is about 330,000,000, averaging 101 square miles not to crowded as in India, but every where dense, and overpopulated at points. Africa has an estimated population of some 210,000,000 or about eight to the square mile. But this is a more approximation only, as so much the continent is still unexplored. America has a population estimated at about 195 million, mainly thinly contoured, and merging altogether more than seven to the square mile. On all the islands the maximum time is probably 1,750,000 inhabitants. The white people of the mainland are estimated at about 325,000,000, the black at some 225,000,000, the blue at some 225,000,000. Of the nations inhabited by these peoples all will be studied that they may be pierced screen, fell fainting to the floor. Nellie lay dead upon her bel dressed in her ball dress, her hands folded across her arm. Her dark gray eyes were wide open and staring. There were two notes on the table: one to the man she really loved—William—in which she begged his forgiveness, and told him she could never have married a poor man. The other was directed to her mother, giving orders for her marital life. There were no words of love or sorrow for her wasted opportunities and lies in her last moments. Ever her thoughts been on dress alone, and she commended the unhappy woman to bury her in the costume she prized so highly. So perished Nellie Tucker, a victim to her indulgence and fostered vanity. Is there a lesson to be learned from this story real life, my dear girl reader? If so I have not told it in vain. The Circus Wild West. About two weeks ago a Dakota farmer was approached by a stranger who said: "What will you take for that little short horn yearling out there in the yard?" "Bont $15." "Is he gentle?" "Yes." "Never kicked!" "No." "No danger of butting a fellow over with his head!" "Not a bit; my children play with him whenever they take a notion." "Well, I guess I'll take him. I'm agent for Hollerwell & Showpoor's Anti-European Circus, and we need another buffalo for our 'Wild West' department. By the time we put a hump on his shoulders and paint his horns black you wouldn't know your calf. I hope he'll stay gentle, though; the last one we had hooked three of our cowboys off their horses, disabled two Buffalo Bills and drove Texas Jack, the western terror, up the center pole. He acted so we had to tie him up with the elephants, give him a coat of red paint and call him the terrible man cutting jonglewock, captured in Central Africa at great expense and loss of life. Do you suppose the calf will drink milkz—the secret cow gives a little more than the zebras will take."—Dakota Bell. A Real New York Aristocrat. In a man who made a brisk canvass as a politician, served well as minister to Italy, models admirably in clay, has written a good book. In new writing a play, manages an estate of $250,000,000 stillfully, and in the virtual head of what undoubtedly ranks as the first family in America. He is clever, brilliant, well born, and has every advantage that boundless wealth could buy. He can bear like a professional has bound shortlimbs and apparently never thinks of his wife. His father hits him "Bill." On every inch that day there were points tilted and apartments and condensed young men sitting and staring with affected indifference in their faces that flee him into them. He finally hatch himself into his own home. The only man among them is boundless and his house was never destroyed. One of the white barnsomes that indicated their wheresome disappeared, the other wavered a moment or two and then pulled down to wait for his quarrels. Drawing long breaths of relief he turned forward again only to find the starlit plain ahead of us full of moving figures. I know I gave a gap, and I heard Fabriano matter "acute bleed!" with a vigor that only a Frenchman can attain. Then without words we bow away to the right where the horsemen not being an close together, he seemed a better chance of escape. We could see them swinging their lances and the snimmar blades flashed in the starlight as Loving our hearts to the utmost we thundered down on the enemy. Revolver in hand, we reserved our fire until certain of our aim. I discharged my first parcel as a dark sommelier circled over my head, and fired two or three times more striving to make every bullet count. Suddenly I felt a searing sensation on my left shoulder, and then naming my spurs for this first time, and sending them home, now with a will. I sprang clear of the conflict. The pain of my wound turned me sick and faint for a time. When I came to I was alone on the desert. Fabriano nor the Arabe were anywhere to be seen. A few hours after break I rode into our out posts having ridden fifty-night miles on the one horse since awaking down the night before. The outpart party were surprised to see me, and placing me on a letter carried me to the headquarters where the surgeon is standing up my wounds, which he presumed painful but not dangerous, and Colonel Lancelot gave me a hearty welcome, and what I was badly in need of something to eat and drink. Fabriano I never heard of more, but have no doubt that seeing me strands with a lace he desperately cloaked with our enemies and sacrificed himself thus I might escape. Fabriano had been my awful black-grenade in his life, but what man do we want good or bad, then lay down his life for his fellow men? Communication Succinct. To run Koren—Please inform your readers that I have a positive summary for the above annual diary.
