“Young men are scarce at the water-
Ing place's tins summer," remarked the
drummer to the hotel clerk.
“Why don’t you go and subtract one
from the scarcity?” suggested the clerk.
“That’s what every girl is trying to
do,” laughed the drummer. “But 1 have
been,” he went on. “1 just got back. I
was at a place down by the sea, and to
about 40 girls there were not over six
men, not counting old men and hus-
bands. There was a lark, though, there
from Detroit, who was equal to a dozen
ordinary chaps, anil a more vigorous
and persistent flirt I never saw. He was
a daisy, and all the girls were stuck on
him, but he had to get up and hustle be-
tween two days."
“What was the matter?" interrupted
theclerk. “Did lie try lobeat the hotel?”
“Not much—lie wasn’t that kind.
What hs did was a joke. I said he was
a flirt, and ever}’ day lie had one or two
new girls on the string, and ho handled
them so skillfully that each thought she
was a favorite. On the last day a new
girl was listening to his vows, and when
they parted she had a little bow of green
ribbon which she was to wear on her
right shoulder at the mask ball they wen
giving that night, so he would know her
and devote himself to her. She woo
greatly flattered and kept the secret
close, and that evening when the hall
opened she was therein all her glory, look-
ing for him in the suit lie had promised
her he would wear. But she didn’t look
long for him, because right next to Lei
was a girl with the identical green bow
on her shoulder she wore, and a little
beyond was another and still another.
By this time the others began to take
notice, and in about in minutes there
were 2? green bows piled up-in the mid-
dle of the floor, and 27 maidens wen
looking for a mask in the shape of Bun-
thorne, but they couldn't find him, and
they in \a r did find him, for before the
ball was over lie had paid his bill and
skipped on t ho lirst train.”
“It wasn’t you, was it?” ventured the
clerk, and the drummer swi no it wasn’t.

“There is a young country boy stay-
ing at our boarding house,” writes a cor-
respondent, “who is a perfect little gen
tleman in his way. The other day lit
brought hit} sister in to dinner and gavt
her a general introduction somewhat as
follows, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is
my sister.’ Then he electrified the gath-
ering by continuing, ‘Mv sister, thest
aro ladies and gentlemen.’ Whereat
the ladies and gentlemen present wort
highly delighted at such indorsement.”

Loneliness of the I'aelflr.
In the Hummer of 1850 1 left San Fran-
ciHco on a Rail vessel (formerly from Bui-
timorejfor Panama, distance 4,000 miles,
uml on the entire route, which lasted 411
days, we never saw it sail. Loneliness i-i
no word for il. especially when we lay
becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel
floating as lie’ lessly about us a chip on
a mill pond, t >> ground swell keeping up
the monotonous roll of the vessel from
side to side ,1.1 day and night and day
after day, each roll being accompanied
by a flap of the sails and a creaking of
the rigging that might have passed for
the flap of the wings and the wail of lost
spirits.
Win'll we read about Noah and his ark,
we are apt to think that ho must have
had rather a lonely time, hut then he
was out only 40 days, and besides, with
all the animals, etc., on hoard, lie had
plenty to occupy his time and attention,
and if lie wanted amusement to while
away the time he had only to start a
sparring match between his monkeys
and parrots. True, there is no report of
any such proceeding on his part, hut
that is doubtless because tin re was no
mo^ni new.-paper reporter on board. I
tell you a man cannot realize what lone-
liness or discomfort is until lie has made
some such trip, and if he wants to com-
plete his education in that line h'-slmuld

One day came an offer from a man
who had loved me ever since I was a lit-
tle girl and who i., the only lover 1 • v< r

apart. Can’t \ve go the rest of the way
together?” Anil wlcii I said “no” and

A Kema rkabli* Hnnqtict Farty.
One of the most notorious Hungarian
duelists fought his thirty-fifth duel in
1880 and celebrated the event-by a ban-
quet, to which only those who could
prove that they had participated in at
least six duels were invited. There was
a room full of such warriors, some with
faces seamed with scars, others minus
au ear. an eye or with two or three fin-
gers missing. The most marked of all
was a Frenchman, who had lost his’fioso
in an encounter with Count Andrassy,
the statesman. There was only one re-
laxation of the rule, and that was made
in favor of a lady who had killed her
man.—London Tit-Bits.
An Anecdote of Justin McCarfliy.
The Cork Examiner tells a good story
of a visit which Mr. Justin McCarthy
Ijaid to a secondhand hook store not
long since. After offering him in vain
several works of indifferent fiction, the
bookseller finally produced a copy of one
of Mr. McCarthy's own novels, but still
the customer was not satisfied. At last
the bookseller in desperation exclaimed,
“Well, sir, if I was a mail so hard to
please as you, I’d take to writing books
myself!”
Doctoring I'.li Masse.
Today in England, at Harrow, tho
boys are doctored en masse. Each one
is served with two grams of quinine at
morningand night as a safeguard against
the influenza. The drug is administered
after prayers, ami the ceremony has thus
a double solemnity. .-J.~ the boys go out
in single file they mv met by the matron,
who gives each one his choice ot powdci
or pill. The .rhoiee made, the drug is
swallowc1 i.ud so the line is gradually

\ I'rotty Ornament.
A pretty addition to a dressing table
or bureau is 11 strip of wide ribbon let-
tered with some appropriate inscription.
In a guest 00m. across tile top of the
white maple bureau, was such a band of
pale yellow, embroidered in old English
text in black. “The ornament of a
house is the friends who frequent it."
The band began in a large rosette and
ended at the other side in a loose bow,
with long ends, which fell nearly to the
slab, and was most dressily effective.—

loithwNt Silver Convention.
Albuqbcbque, N. M., July 27. 1893—
By iMolutions adopted by the seaslon
ot the boathwest Silver convention,
held July 4 and 5, 1893, at Silver City,
New Mexico, the undersigned waa des-
ignated as chairman of the executive
committee, and direoted to oall a ses
sion of the Southwest Silver conven-
tion at Albuquerque, New Mexico, dur
lug the territorial fair.
In aocordanoe with such resolution
ail the miners and all the people of the
great southwest, particularly of Colo-
rado, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico,
are requested to assemble at Albuquer
que, New Mexico, on the 19th anil 20th
days of September, 1893. A full attend-
ance is very desirable. Ir congress
shall then have taken action favorable
to silver, a jollification will be In
order. If congress shall then be still
deliberating, the voice of the
people, demanding protection from
the avarice of the monied
classes, should be emphatically
heard. If silver should be defeated in
this congress, then the light will only
be begun—arid It is our duty and
privilege to assemble and make the
power and determination of the south
west felt. If, as the Bill of Rights de-
clares, “all political power is vested in
and belongs to the people,” and if we
are worthy citizens of a country whose
whole structure Is built upon that
sentence as the foundation stone, then
the people must be vigilant and active,
and no self-sacrificing should be so
great as to deter them.
Moreover, these gatherings are
educational. We must meet and ex-
change ideas, and study and learn in
order to know the impregnable nature
of our position to the end that, in the
probable coming “harile of the stand-
ards” we may tight “freely, as men
tight for the right,.”
A failure to attend will betaken as
an evidence of ignorance, or indiffer-
ence, or both, and will injure our
cause.
