I meant to change the cover, and after taking the soiled one off forgot to replace it. This la the result. My twenty-five dollar berry dish, and a wedding present at that, is shattered, and all owing to my own folly. I will kuow better next time, but experience is a sail teacher ” »»»» That old familiar saying, “Curiosity kills cats,” is frequently heard, and a pronounced old bachelor says that “the old adage would apply to women in general, only that their curiosity never kills, but it leads them into all sorts of trouble.” I would like to call the atten tion of this woman-hater to the fact that the Kern Canyon Oil Company would lie twenty-five hundred dollars lietter off if It had not been for the curiosity of two Eastern stockholders in the company, who were visiting the oil wells. They wanted to see some crude oil burn and they saw it, and also the destruction of a twelve-bundred- liarrel oil tank and eight hundred bar rels of oil tielonging to the company. It made a lieautiful pyrotechnic dis play, which spread consternation a nong the siiectators. Their curiosity was more than gratified and they are wiser, even if they are a good many dollars poorer. The small blaze that was started for their benefit was al lowed to assume large proport ions, aud a wind coming up it got beyoud their control and enveloped the works. Polly showed this Item of news to the “old bachelor” and he remarked, “Well, those men must have beeu sissies.” STANTON'S IRISH STEW. TWO OBLIGING MEN. Bach Was «Bo Vletiss Faae Traasa««*»»- C*' It was In a Boston street car. When the car stopped at a crossing, a lady got up aud went to the door. As she rose there was the chink of a coin on the floor, but before it occurred to any oue to stop ber she was out of the car aud acroaa the street Two ladles who had sat next to her looked with anx ious lndiffereuce ou the floor. One of them leaued slightly forward, but said uothing. Just as the conductor was reaching for the bell rope a young man spied the coin aud dashed out of the ear. He caught the lady who had left the car, handed her the coin, ran back, cuught the step of the car as the mo tors Pegau to sing iu crescendo and sat down breathless. One of the two ladies opposite him leaned forward and said coldly, “Young man. what did you do with the nickpl I dropped?" The pas sengers tittered. An old man at the other end of the car turned to bls ueighbor. "That reminds me,” he said, "of something that happened to my wife years ago. "It was before the days of conduct ors, wheu we used to drop our nickels Into a slot, and they ran down a groove to the box behind the driver. "My wife had started out with a lit tle change and oue of those trouble some five dollar goldpieces which used to be more commonly in circulation than they are now. Her eyes were not good, and so she was nervous about her goldplece and bad it on her mind all the way downtown. "When she took a car for home, she met a friend and grew Interested in conversation with her. She put ber coin In the slot absentmindedly. The driver turned as It struck the box. You remember the coin fell Into a glass compartment first, and then the driver pushed a lever which sent It into the strong box below. “As my wife heard the click of the lever she thought of her five dollar goldplece. She looked In her purse. Sure enough, It was gone. She went forward and spoke to the driver. He said he hadn’t looked very carefu.”y, but he thought there were only three nickels in the glass receptacle when he pushed the lever. “My wife Insisted. The driver said If she would ride to the end of the line the cashier at the station would open the box. This meant a journey of two miles beyoud our street, aud my wife was In a hurry. "Au old gentleman who sat by the door said he was going to the end of the line und offered to give her >4.95 cents and get the goldplece at the sta tion. My wife thanked him aud took the money. Wheu she got home, she found the five dollar goldplece iu the lining of ber purse. "Next day I went to the station. The cashier said au old gentlemau had made him open the box. There was uo gold- piece. The old gentlemau had left In a rage, refusing to give his name. He said he had been swindled aud did not want to be known for a fool. “We advertised In the papers, but we never beard from him.”—Youth’s Com panion. A Story of tho tir<at War Boerotary as To 14 by Ills Bo4ysaar4. An attempt by Secretary of War Stanton to cook an Irish stew while bolding the war department office against the removal order of President Andrew Johnson Is one of many anec dotes related by Louis Koerth. at the period mentioned the great war secre tary's bodyguard. Feb. 21, 1SGS, President Johnson ap pointed General Lorenzo Thomas sec retary of war ad Interim, but the pow er of removal having beeu takeu by the tenure of office act from the presi dent. Mr. Stanton refused to resign or to vacate the office of secretary. He camped In the office, determined to bold it until the result of the im peachment proceedings against tbs president, which were then pending In the senate, ahould be determined. For sixty days Mr. Sunton held “the fort,” and during that period bls faithful bodyguard, sx-Sergeant Louis Koerth, then In the United States general serv ice, assigned to the war department, kept him company. On the day in which Mr. Stanton re ceived the official notification of bls removal by the president be made Im mediate preparations for a siege. He dispatched Sergeant Koerth to Mrs. Stanton for blankets and pillows, but that lady refused to send them, insist ing that the secretary should come home and give up the office. Mr. Stanton smiled on receiving ber message and simply said: “Koerth, go to your own house and bring blankets, pillows and such cook ing utensils as we may need.” The Irish stew wsb the first effort of the secretary and his bodyguard. Koerth, being a German, needed In structions in the mysteries of prepar ing the savory stew, and the secretary named the various Ingredients, which he ordered the servant to purchase. Both men had spent a busy and la boriously exciting day, and both were tired out wheu the pot was put ou the fire to cook the stew. The consequence was that the great war secretary and bls bodyguard fell asleep. The secretary was the first to be awakened by the smell of the burn ing stew. “Koerth, Koerth! Wake up, man!” Bbouted Mr. SUuton. "The stew Is burning!” Koerth sprang to his feet, but, alas, too late to save Mr. Stanton’s Irish stew. It was burned and smoking, while the pot was a glowing red. Rue fully the secretary rolled himself up In his blankets ou the sofa and went to sleep for the night supperless.— Wash ington Post HUMOR OF THE HOUR CHOICE MISCELLANY Mo* Baek a Foal.

When the way» of some women are considered, it la leas remarkable that such numbers of women dwelling in the large cities dress extravagantly than before their methods of securing rich costumes for ail occasions have been scrutinized. There are women, and many of them very wealthy, who make a regular practice of having elegant garments sent to their ltomes on approval, wear ing them once and then returning them to stores or costumers. Some women will wear a dress or a cloak to the opera and send It back next morning. Or they will get a hat or wrap and go driving or visiting in it. The average person would be astonished to know all the thlugs, from handsome umbrellas and fans of great beauty to jewelry and clothes, that some women bor row from the shops. Of course all of these women are not well off, but they all dress well and go out a great deal, and although the shopkeepers often discover the manner in which they are being deceived, they do not always like to make a fuss for fear of losing a good customer. Besides they know that if they Incur the enmi ty of such impostors the women are quite capable of abusing their goods and robbing them of other and more honest customers. Strange as it may seem, these women generally mingle in pretty good society, or the fringes of it. aiid have some influence in the matter of dress, since they have won the repu tation of always dressing elegantly and in the newest things. This sort of imposition bad been car ried on so often by a customer of a cer tain large firm that its members deter mined to put a stop to her flaunting about in boiTowed plumage, at least when the plumage belonged to them. One Saturday this woman had a splen did wrap sent home on approval, and on Sunday one of the head clerks of the tirm who knew Mrs. Blank as the offender stationed himself near her pew in the fushiouable church which she attended. When she sailed down the aisle after service, resplendent in the borrowed cloak, this man stepped up to her and said: “How do you do, Mrs. Blank? I am delighted to see that you like our cloak well enough to keep It.” Of course after that she could not re turn the cloak. Still, with all the efforts put forward by shops and costumers to break up the pernicious habit of forcible borrow ing on the part of sundry feminine cus tomers, the practice goes merrily on. and many a fair dame with an envi able reputation for exquisite dressing appears but once in garments and hats that when next seen are bedecking an other woman or hanging in the show room of some smart shop.—Washington Star.
