The greater the crowd the greater the rush, nud the greater the rush the less time we have to inquire into the condition of our fellow man. We tire more like ly to take him as he appears to be. If a man bo well dressed and clean i and bears upon his exterior the man-y-nerH of a gentleman well, we call J him a gentleman, and let him go at I that If he looks like a loafer or acts like a loafer, weset him down as a loafer. In either case wo may bo mistaken, but it goes. We haven't time to investigate closely. If we had, life is ho awfully short we would probably devote the time to something more congenial. Knowing this, I always feel an un usual interest in the little knot of my fellow creatures in front of the William street surgeons' supplies window. There is always about the same number of people there men and boys - very seldom persons of the opposite sex. Business men, clerks, messenger boys, vagrants all en gaged in the noblest study of man kind - man. It is barely possible the loct didn't have this particular les sou in his mind when he wrote.

Arranged iu a New York show window with an artistic hand these relics of one who was lioru, lived, had a career and died appeal to the eye of the living by way of instruc tion, curiosity and entertainment. No fashionable garments from the skilled hand of tho London tailor proclaim this a gentleman. No foul smelling rags call upon us to despise him. He neither patronizes nor commands, is neither a beggar nor a borrower. He claims our passing attention by neither dirt nor dia monds. He neither articulates nor is articulated. Yet there is a certian fascination in his very disorder. You find it dif ficult to pass without counting up his various particles, just to see if they are all there, although you know it could maki! no possible dif ference to either you or him. With the same want of reason you feel as if you must object to the arrange ment of his ribs-one being in the wrong place but you are restrained by conventionality. And when you join the great pushing throng still on earth you wonder, mechanically, whether the bones of any of those who are now jostlin you and against whom you jostle will ever serve so useful a turn, and if so, would the present William street Myle of wearing the hat affect the futuresituation.'-Xew York Herald Tha Hint Was Suttclcat.

The dislike of being outdone by another Is probably no stronger in childhood than in tnaturer age, but the conventionalities which restrain a man from giving utter ance to his thoughts place no check upon the child's tongue.

A conductor on one of the roads entering Indianapolis, in giving his varied experi ence, said: "I remember one day that a large, line looking country girl got on my train at Bona, Ills., ticketed to Toledo. 1 noticed at once that she won unfamiliar with travel, and as our train arrived then In the old depot, which wan a very lonely place at that hour of night, and she would have to w ait until 7 o'clock for the train eat. I thought I would caution her before reaching Indian apolis to be careful about making new ac quaintances. "When we reached the city suburbs, In passing through the car taking up tickets I leaned over, and in as gentle and as cour teous a manner as I knew how I said to hen 'Lady, your train docs not leave for Toledo until 7 o'clock. It Is now H o'clock. When the train stops In the depot, go to the ladies' waiting room Bnd remain th there. You will be perfectly safe there until your train is ready to leave. Don't listen to what any hack driver or hotel runner may say to you.'

At M the other night there wag a temperance lecture In the chapel of one of the churches.

Camtron was just 1!), a bride of six months and a lovely bael eyed brunette, She had everything that heart could de-..re and consequently wasn't exactly pleased with anything. "Like him w,dl enough," related Anna Clarke, who, having just graduated from school, thought that a young wife who hud wedded the man she loved ought to be ex tremely happy. "Oh, Mina. how coldly you sieak!" "Well, I can' help It," said Mrs. Cam eron, letting her head fall languidly back on the rose satin puffings of the easy chair on w hich she sat "One gcU tired of cake and champagne til the time. Sometimes I think 1 should lie happier if Clarence didu't worship me quite so devotedly." "Oh, Mina!" "It's a bore, you know," said the young wife confidentially. "It would lie a relief if he would find fault occasionally. He's too good. Now, Sophia Markham is actu ally afraid of her huslmnd a great, hand some ll-footer of a fellow, with a lovely black silk heard like an Italian brigand. Oh, it must be charming to be a littleafraid of one's husband! When vou are about to get married, doii't marry a man that is 'sugar and spice and all that's nice.' It's much too insipid!" As it happened, Mrs. Cameron's elegant parlors were separated from her boudoir by port ieres. Mr. Cameron, reading his paper, sat on tho other side of the draperies and heard this conversation an eavesdropper in spite of himself. "I'll see that the fault Is corrected," he said to himself, with a grim smile. And he went oil to business without the "goodby kiss" lu which he generally In dulged. Mrs. Cameron went out shopping In the afternoon and waa detained a little, but It did not worry her In the least. "I'm a little lale, I'm afraid," she said as she entered the dining room, where Mr. C. was pacing up and down like the proverbial "caged lion" of romance. "Late, madam? I should say you were!' retorted her husband in a tone which fairly made Mrs. Cameron start, "it's half past 6 if it's a second. But I suppoe you think my time Is of no value!" "Clarence!" "I've borne this long enough," went on the indignant husband. "And I give yon fair notice that I shall bear it no longer.

"Yen, sir," said Jane, and Hhedisnpiicarcd grinning, Into the kitchen. Mrs. Cameron sat down, crimson to the very roots of her hair. "Clarence," she said, with difficulty con trolling her voice, "is It tieesary to thus Insult me before the servants?" "Y'es, madam, it is. If a wife doesn't comprehend her duty, It is high time she should be made to do so. I'll trouble you for a cup of coffee." Mrs. Cameron was mortified, stunned, dazed. She was entirely unused to this style of domestic reproof. Almost before tho dessert with which Mr. C. found plenty of fault, Intimating that it would lie better if his wife remained at home to attend to household matters a little more instead of gadding abroad the whole time the door bell sounded. "It's dear mamma and Aunt Llz.lecnmu to spend the evening," said Mina, jumping up. "Confound 'em all!" roared Mr. Cameron, smiting the table with his fist, "can't 1 have a quiet evening once In awhile?" "I I told them you would take us all to the th''at:-r to:;ight!" hesitated Mina, het color coming :uid goin ; chr.ugefully on In i face. "Indeed! May I ask, madam, who au thorized you to make that statement?" crisply queried her husband. "Am I s mere puppet it your hands, and am I gutt posed to have no will or desire of my own?" "But you will go, won't you, Clarence?" faltered poor Mina. "No, madam, I will not," said Mr. Cam eron, rising and looking Around for his hat. "I propose to spend the evening quietly nl the club." And he bolted out of the room, nearly falling over Ids mother-in-law in the pas sage, and muttering to himself: "By Jove, If I'd stiud another mlnutt those tears would have conquered me. Pool little Mina!" It was past 13 before he returned. Nevn In all the experience of their married lift bad he been so late before. "Sitting up. eh?" said he savagely. "Now Mrs. Cameron, I mean to put an end ouce for all to this sort of thing." "I was so anxious about you, Clarence,'' pleaded poor Mina. "Anxious!" sneeringly repented he. "D you suppose J. Markham allows his wifcti: sit up for him?'' "Oh, Clarence, I wouldn't have you like J. Markham for the world!" exclaimed Mina, bursting into tears. . "Wouldn't you?" said he. the faintest suspicion of a smile glimmering under the endsof his miihlache. "Now, I thought it would be charming to lie a little afraid o( one's husband, and you know 'sugar and spice and all that's nice grow Insipid.' " Mrs. Cameron sprang to her feet. "Did you hear w hat I said this morning?" "I did, Mrs. Cameron, and I thought 1 would shape my conduct to suit your taste." "Don't do it any more, Clary," she said, with a quivering lip, and htr bright eyes lifted wistfully to Ids face. "I don't like It. It isn't nice to be afraid of one's bus band." "Just as you please," said her husband, laiiuhing. "I only wanted to adapt myself to your wishes, Mina." Tit-Bits. Georgia's Inland.
