“ ‘A word to the wise is sufficient,’
Polly, and if I had only heeded that old
adage, I would have beeu spared this”
—said a friend, holding up the frag
ments of a beautiful cut-glass dish. “A
jeweler told me just the other day that
I must never set a piece of cut-glass or
any other flue glassware ou a piece of
marble without having a mat or some
kind of acoveruuderit, uulesa I wanted
to have it broken. 1 valued this dish
so much ’’.at I would not entrust it to
my girl to wash, but attended to it my
self, and deliberately placed it on my
uiarbie-top sideboard, when there were
plenty of mats handy. 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

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”

A Story of tho tir<at War Boerotary

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

his blankets ou the sofa and went to

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.

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.
