perience of au intimate friend of mino
will prove:
lie was the art critic, and he had
just sent out an unusually brilliant ac
count of a recent exhibition of paint
ings to the desk editor, who. not hav
ing made much of a study of art, was
naturally unfamiliar with the language
of the studio, but was preparing to
wrestle with his difficult task, lie waa
new at the work, and it was beset with
pitfalls. Heading the list was this
enigmatical seuteuce: ''A Landscape
in Sepia."
"Landscape in Sepia!" shouted the
scribe, addressing the sporting editor,
who was busily engaged in describing
a spirited set-to between two favorite
lightweights. 'Where the deuce is
Sepia?"
Don't know. " answered the pport-
ing editor, thoughtfully.
'Never
heard of the place. Sepia can't be in
the United States, or I must have heard
of it, surely. It must be in Syria some
where." "I dou't believe the place exists at
all," snapped the puzzled genius of the
desk. think"
A heavy fall in the adjoining room
broke off the conversation here, and a
hurried investigation revealed tha art
critic in strong convulsions on th
floor. He had beard the entire con
versation, and was conveyed to his

A certain well-known railroad man.
who has lots of children of assorted
sizes, made a very curious mistake in
identity the other evening, says a N.
Y. Recorder writer. He was sitting in.
his library trying to read, but was very
much disturbed by the noise overhead
iu the nursery. The nurse was put
ting the two youngest children to bed.
a proceeding to which they objected
vociferously. Finally he called up the
stairs that he would come up and
punish them if Ihey didn't keep still.
There was Bilence for a moment, and
then the shrill little voice of Ruth, bis
youngest born, piped out:
bhut up;
Fairly staggered bv this irreverent
outburst, he stood a moment in silence,
scarcely believing his own ears, when
down the staircase floated again:
"Shut up. you!"
This was too much. He bounded
up the staircase, determined to chas
tise saucy Miss Rath. Rushing in the
darkened nursery, he seized the of
fender from her bed, and. laying ber
across his knee, applied his palm in a
scientific manner. The victim kicked
and struggled considerably. and finally
shrieked out:
"Papa, papa! You're whipping the

A resident of this city, a business
man, went to the depot to meet bis
wife, who had been absent on a long
visit to eastern relatives.
She arrived, accompanied by a male
cousin and her husband's greyhound, a
dog that had not seen his master for
several months.
The moment the business man afore
said caught sight of his dog he whistled
to the animal. and when it reached him
he submitted to its extravagant ex
pressions of joy. the dog's nose touch
ng his face several times.
Only after that did the husband no
tice his wife. He expressed bis delight,
then, at seeing her. and, embracing'
ber. kissed her fervently.
