"Bridget has been so cross and hate ful and impudent that there's been no living with her today, " said Mrs. Juni per when her husband came, home the other evening. "Impudent, Mrs. Juniper?" he re plied. "You don't mean to tell me that you allow that servant girl to be impu dent to you?" "Allow her, Mr..Juniper? That girl kWould be impudent to an angel if she happened to be on her high horse." "Well, I'm not an augel by a long shot, but I'd like to see her be impudent to-tiie, and if she's been saucy to you she'll have to apologize for it." "Don't you go aear hervhile she's in her present mood. You'd better keep out of the kitchen." "Well, I think I see myself keeping out of my own kitchen if I want to go into it. I will go into the kitchen, and I'll yank Miss Bridget O'Calligan down .from her high horse. " Heedless of his wife's protests, Juni per went boldly out into. the kitchen and said: "See here, girl, I hear that you've been impudent to your mistres.a" "Impedent to me mistress, is it?

There is a Mrs. Malaprop living up town whose queer blunders in her ev eryday talk would fill a good sized vol -umie, and most of them are funny enough to deserve publication.

It Was Pleasaut Enough For the Young Dancers, but thxe Chapwron Withered Away Among 3toldering Mothers- Entto tions of the Young and the Not Young. Mr. W. D. Howells' novelett "An Open Eyed Conspiracy," in The Cen tury, contains the following description of that important social function. a Saratoga hop: 6he and the evening were equally lit ted for the event to which they semi equally dedicated. The dancing was io be out of doors on a vast. planking. er platform, set up in the heart of that bosky court which the hotel inclsews. Around this platform drooped the sli.i, tall Saratogan trees, and over iz hung the Saratogan sky, of a nocturnal bla very rare in our latitude, with the str faint in its depths, and by and by a white moon that permitted itself a modest competition with the eletrie lights effulgent everywhere. There wal a great crowd of people in the lertico, the vestibule and the inner piazi..s andi on the lawn around the platform. where "the trodden weed" sent up the swect scent of bruised grass in the cool night air. My foolish old heart bounded with a pulse of youth at the thought of all the gay and tender possibilities of such a scene. But the young people under my care seemed in no haste to mingle in it. We oldsters are always fancying youth im patient, but there is no time of life which has so much patience. It behaves as if it had eternity before it-n ctr nity of youth-instead of . fiw day and years and then the frosty p(w. \Ve who are young no longer think we would do so and so if we were young, as women think they would do so and so if they were men, but if we were really young again we should !ot do at all what we think. Wo should not hurry to experience our emotions; we should not prss for ward to discharge our duties or repair oxit mistakes; we should niot sei.ze the occasion to make a friend or reconcile an enemy; we should let wceks and months go by in the realization of a passion and trust all sorts of contingen cies and accidents to help us out with its confession. The thoughts of youth are very long, and its conclusiens are deliberate and delayed and often with held altogether. It is age which is trem ulously eager in these matters and Can not wait with the fine patience of na ture in her growing moods. As soon even as I was in the hotel I was impatient to press through to the place where the dancing was. an where I already heard the band play ing. I knew very well that when wo got there I should have to sit d'.y;Vn somewhere on the edge oi the platform with the other frumps and fogits and begin taking cold in my dress coat and want to doze off without being able to, while' my young people wore waltzing together or else promenading up and down, ignoring me or recognizing m - by the offer of a fan and the question whether I was not simply mehing. I have seen how the poor chaIron fates at such times. But they, secure of their fun, were by no means desirous to have it over or even to have it begin. They dawdled through the thronged hotel office, where ether irresponsible pairs were coming and going under the ad miring eyes of the hotel loungers, and they wandered u~p and dowun the wamr parlors and sat on tete-a-tetes just to try them apparently, and Miss (age verified in the mirrors the beauty which was reflected in all eyes. . hey anmsed themselves with the estent of the richly carpeted and upholstered desolatiuon around them, where only a few lon~Ely and aging wornen lurked about en sofas. and ottomans, and they fell to playing with their compassien for the plebelaL spectators at the long veranda windows trying to penetrate with their forbidden eyes to the hop going on in the ceurt far beyon'd the intermediary desert of the parlors. When they signified at last that they were ready for me to lead them en to the dance, I would so mueh rather have gone to bed that there are no words fcr the comparison. Then, when we got to the place, which I should never haIve been able to reach in the world if it nad not been for the young energy and in spiration of Kendricks, and they had put me in a certain scat with Miss Gage's wraps beside mec where they could find me, they went off and danced for hours and hours. For hours and hours? For ages and ages, while I1 with ered away amid moldering mothers and saw my charges through the dreadful half dreams of such a state whirling in the- waltz, hopping in the polka, sliding in the galop and then indlessly walk ing up and down between the dances and eating and drinking the chill re freshments that it made myv teeth cbat ter to think of. I suppose they decently came to me from time to time, though they seemed to be always dancing, for I could after ward remember Miss Gage taking a wrap from me now and then, and quiick ly coming back to shed it upon my lap again. I got so chilled that if tihey had not been unmistakabl womn'rfs v rays I should have bundled themx all about my shoulders, which I could aluost hear creak with rheumnatism. I must have fallen into a sort of drowse at iast*, fo' I was having a dispute with some sort of authority, which turnedi oat to be Mrs. March, and upbraiding her with the' fact that there were no wanen's wraps which would also do for a man, when the young people stood arm in arm before me, and Miss Gage said th'at she was tired to death now, and tiny were going.

WhiIt l he .as looking at the little spotted beauty it lav down be sidi a l eg, and the hunter resolved to get the little animal alive. l knew that if he could get hold of eV or hoth of the fawn's hlind legs he would succeed. Luckily the cows of the farm appear ed at that moment on the way to the creek for a driijk, and the fawn, evi d n-ly a frequenter of the pasture, seem "td to be uneoncerned after a quick glance at the cows. Seizing the oppor- I tunity. the hunter, while the cows were coIing ,id cracking branches and sticks, stole up to the log. A monient later tia fawn passed directly in front of him, and tlo liter made a quick thrust of his arms to catch the (leer by the hind legs. He partly succeeded, but inl the stug that followed, with the staring cows and yearlings as specta tors, the delicate limbs of the fawn be gan to slip out of the vise of the human hands, and somehow or other in despera ticin tile man grabbed the fawn's tail. The little animal began to run, and the hunter, who is a very strong man, held de'sperat'ly to the tail. Down an old logging road they went a little way, and then the fawn-turned in. It could not run very fast with a man attached to its tai1, but the first quarter of amile was done ill good time nevertheless.

"I have read several Lincoln anni v.rsary speeches, " said Mr. Charles Frederick. "and have been struck witi: the statement contained in some ol thim to the effect that Mr. Lincoln sel don got mad, and that when he did gel m11ad he (lid not allow himself to ge1 verv mad. If these speakers spoke fron their personal experience, it is all right, but my personal experience with hin one night satisfied me he could get up terribly good sized case of mad at times. "I was a boy at the time and was L messenger for the old American Tele. graph company, which in after year was absorbed by the present Westeri Union telegraph. For several days then had been a number of telegrams for th( president from army officers, and amon them I remember two or three fron General McClellan. I don't remembei now why they did not come over th( military telegraph lines. Well, on( night I started over to the White Hous( wit i a telegram that I knew came fron General McClellan. It was for the pres ident. "In those days there was always i guard of soldiers stationed at the tw< avenue gates, as also at the other gates, but messenger boys were generally wel known, and they were adinitted day ci night without any question, at least t( the front door, whee another soldie: guard was also stationed. There wa: always an officer about the door, wh< receipted for telegrams. This night however, I saw Mr. Lincoln cominig to ward the outer gate, and I thought would personally hand him the tele gram, which I did. He smiled pleasant ly enough as he opened it, but a changt suddenly came over him. " 'Have you the other telegrams' h< demanded of me. I replied that I hmw but the one, though I informed bin that I knew that there had been one o: two others that day from General Me Clellan. " 'That is what he says,' added th president, 'and what amcys me is tha I have not received them.' "Then, turuing to the sentry, ht said: 'Send up to the door for the ofti cer in charge and tell him that whel telegrams come here addiessed to in they should and nmust be delivered t< me. Tell him also,' and by this timt the president was very mad, 'that if < sends aL more of my telegrams over t< Mr. Stanton's house I'll drive him awa from here. Mr. Stanton has enough tel egrams of his own and should not hav mine.' "Though I was but a boy," said Ar. Frederick, "I could see that Mr. Lin coin was mad all the way through, an that, for the moment at least, lie wa! displeased with his war minister, Secre tary Stanton, and that he intended ex actly what he said. The president, thei directing himself to .me, continued 'Buy, tell your folks that I must hav< my telegrams, and that if these soldier about the door interfere any more I'l drive every one of them away. I don' want them and never did want then about the place.' "-Washington Star. New York Boys. "Mister, won't yer give us er lift?" The speaker was a boy of 10, with an expression of weariness on his face. Tle one spoken to was a youth of about 22, with a shade of a mustache. The object referred to was a bag about three feet high, which seemed to be filled with some heavy material. '"Certainly, my boy,'' replied the youth, "'I'll help you on with it.'' True to his word, he grabbed the bag around the center and proceeded to lift it on to the boy's shoulder. Suddenl: unearthly yells and shrieks came from within, and the object, whatever it was, began to kick with such force that the youth dropped the bag and proceeded tc hold his hands to his stomach as if in great pain. The boy and several bystanders were shaking with laughter. A monient later the top of the bag opened, and a lad of 8 scampered away as fast as lie could run. "Fooled!" yelled all the boys at th( youth as they scampered after the yougster. That is what they call the "bag game." It is something new, and it originated on the east side, but who in vented it no one knows. The idea sim ply is to get a ferocious youngster to en ter thme bag and then have sonic unsus picious person lift it. The yells and shrieks antd kicks will not fail to upset his mtental and~ perhaps physical equilib rium, and the youngsters will have a great laugh as a r sult. -New York~ Herald. An Engtish Rtoad. Take the road that leads from Strat ford to Coventry, and vou will have taken the loveliest road in all England. So say the travelers, and here is a story that looks as if there might be a grain: of truth in the statemient. An Ameri can woman who crossed~ the Atlantic aninouncedt her intention of driviing rather than "railroading'' thirough Great Britain. '"Well,'' obse~rved a neigh boring English womab, 'you won't find a lovelier drive throughout the land's length and breadth lhan that from ---." "Yes, she will, too, " in terrupted another Englishman. "0f course I don't know the road you're thinking of, but whatever it is it can't compare with the one I have iin mind. The argument upon the subject at leng th waxedl so warmn between the two that the American suggested that each write his "drive" upon a slip of paper, the slips to be handed to lher and not open ed until she had set foot on British soil. This was agreed upon. And whwn the American woman opened the slips she reat upon the first, "Fromn Stratford tc Coventry,"' and upon the second, "From Coventr'y to Stratford. "-Newt York Sun.
