You know the How ards may only be In New York a week, and I may go on with them to Pitts burg. They have bet n beeping nie to for weeks, hut if Mabel's we.ldini; should come off by the SMh. I'll want to no to that. I slionld.i't be a bit stir prised though if the postponed It igiiin, but--" "Konnd trip, miss?" asked the ticket agent again, while the waiting line of men at.d women ttood on the other ftot. "O, Clare, what would you do? I am wild to go to 1'lttsbuig with the Howards " "And we are wild to have you go," suddenly yelled a man at the ex'ivme nd of the line, whose train left in 20 minutes. "Try Pittsburg," yelled atu titer voice. "You have to change every thing there evi ry hour or so. and you can include your mind without any ex tra inciiiivenielice." "Oh. no," shrieked another frantic Individual, "go to Mabfl's wtdding. I am tlying to have you go. What, Ma bid?" "Clare, did you ever see such dread ful people. 1 shall report you at the main office," and she glared at tlie ticket a;:ent. "Yes, miss," returned that individual In an express-ionless voice. "Hound trii?" "No, single," haughtily. "What time? The next call Is be tween 11 and 12." "Oh, niy trunk Isn't packed yet. I could never get It ready in that time." "Next call between 3 and 4." "Very well, have the man call for my trunk at 3, thm I can take the 2 o'clock train." "You would not have your check, miss?" "Why not? 1 can get the check when the man comes for my trunk." "Hut you won't be there If you go on the 2 o'clock train and he doesn't come until 3." "Oh." A long pause. "Clare. I won't be there. What Khali 1 do? Do you think I could get my trunk ready by 12? You know they never come when they say they will." "I think you could, dear. I'll pHck one tray for you and we'll phone for Helen to come and help us, and " "Say, look here," shouted au excited person In the rear, whose hair was standing wildly on end and whose eyes appeared to be endeavoring to sever their connecting links with his face. "I've got Just 20 minutes to make my train In, and it's a matter ot 40,000 to me if I lose It. Now if 'Clara' and her friend will retire for a few moments and decide these mo mentous questions the rest of us can get our licketB before she has tltm? to change her mind again." "Clare, I'll not stay here another moment and be insulted. I shall not get my ticket at this othee, and 1 shall certainly report you, sir, at headipiar lers. I will never go on this road again and I shall tell all my friends how I have been treated, and see that ihey take their custom elsewhere." and then she and Clare swept haught ily from the otllce, while the crowd cheered. As the two disappeared the ticket agent winked at the crowd, and then began throwing out tickets and mak ing change, as each man yelled his destination, tossed him his money and snatching his ticket sprinted out of he door with his cout tails standing -nit straight and his suit case cutting long streaks out of the atmosphere. 1'uck.

Puck. Paper and Canvas. Ill a book entitled "Stories of the Knglish Artists." H. Da vies and C. Hunt tell au interesting anecdote of Turner, the gnat landscape painter. He disliked to part with his pictures, I it nil whin he sold one, Invariably wore I a look of dejection ami oppression. If u friend asked him what was the mut ' ter, he would scornfully explain: "I've I lost one of my children this week," Once a rich Hirmlnghani inanurac I Mirer, Gillott by name, Introduced hiiu 1 self to the painter, and stated that he , had come to buy. 1 "Don't want to sell," or some such laconic rebuff, with the answer. The manufacturer then drew from Ids pocket a bundle of bank-notes, about Xfi.OOO worth. "Mete paper," observed Turner, with grim humor, a little softened, however, and evidently enjoying his joke. "To be bartered for mere canvas," replied Gillott, waving his hand at the "Itulldlng of Carthage" and its com panions. This tone of cool depreciation seemed to have a happy effect, and finally Gillott departed with some 5,000 worth of Turner's pictures. Cleanliness of Amsterdam. Amsterdam enjoys an enviable repu tation for its cleanness. Owen Felt ham, who visited Holland In the sev enteenth century, was particularly im pressed by the spotlessness of its streets and houses. "Whatsoever their j estates be," he wriU'S, "their houses .mist he fair. Therefore from Amsler I .lain they have banlsht seacole, lest it ! soyle their buildings.. Kverv door .eeuis studded with diamonds. The nails and hinges hold a constant blight nesse, as If rust there was not i tpinllty Incident to Iron. Their houses they keep cleaner than their bodies; their bodies than their souls. !oe to one, you shall find the and '.'.ins shut up in network.

Caitaro, the Austrian sea gate of Montenegro, which was recently be leved to be threatened by Prince N'ich- jlas' guns, was held by Montenegro i .nice for a time. Montenegro ac- ! jnlied it In 1 S 1 3 with the aid of a llrlt- ! ish squadron. Any Inhabitant of Cat- laro who was contemporary with the i rise and fall of Napoleon must often i nave had to pause and think what i country he belonged to. For, having been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro ! became Austrian by the treaty of ' Cainpo Fin tiilo, and Italian in 10." by Ihe peace of I'resshutg. It was ah- ' sorbed In the French empire in IS 10. ' and wrested from It In 1S13, and finally, In 1M4, Russia compelled Mon- ' tenegro to give it up to Austriu. Stung!

FORTRESS A MARVEL C13RALTAR IS RIChTLY CCSI! ERED IMPREGNABLE. Hard to Ims, ne Hew Ary AitJc'iing Fleet CiL'd Live in the A.ilsnche cf Shot Thit Could Ee Pcured cn It. "All elie:;.y's fleet c: u!d be sent to the bottom in tell minutes before gel ling within five nubs if Gibraltar;' not even a tin p. , lo boat could succeed i In entering the bay unobserved on the! blackest night!" That sums up the! opinions ot the mint eminent naval! experts as to the impregnability of' (he worrld's greatest fortress. Hut disappointment awaits the sightseeing isltor. The rock, though barren, is enured with luxuriant veg etation; not u fort prominent; not a gull to he seen even with the most powerful glasses; no discernible am munition magazines; no strongholds; only a peaceful, prosperous harbor and a sleepy, straggling town. It Is night and the n,'aneiivers are 3ti. Swift -play lug searchlights trans form the bay Into a sheet of shimmer ing silver, upon which are seen ma jestic Ilrltlsb warships ami elongated Hying shadow h the torpedoes. Guns answer guns out of every conceivable crevice and corner, blending In one deafening uproar, while scores of shells plow the water for miles around. Sentries are everi where; Infantry parties crunch In the shadows; hun dreds of gunners stand ready behind hundreds of guns lit these mysterious labyrinths hewn out of the solid rock "the galleries;" the vicious barking of tlie Mavlm guns gives contrast to tlie deeptoned baying of these mam moth pieces of ordnance, the mere report of which cracks stone roofs and bursts doors and whole windows. Could any fleet live through the mur derous hail of gigantic shells? Gibraltar never sleeps. l!y day nml night two perfectly equipped signal stations, proudly flaunting llritain's Has of ownership, unceasingly sweep the seas around to a distance of fif teen miles on a clear day, instantly reporting the coming ami going of each vessel. Sentries guard all the prominent forts, magazines ami gate ways; gunners sleep beside their gttlis; engineers are ever ready beside the powerful searchlights. Modern "needle" guns, the finest In Kurope, are installed on all the most prominent points. They are unreach able from the sea. even as they nr iindiscernibb', owing to tlie skill with which they are painted and draped to match the surrounding vegetation, while huge screens drop automatically before them as each shell is fired. They have a range of fifteen miles and could drop shells on Ceuta, In Africa, opposite, tpilte comfortably! Une gun weighs 110 tons and Is capa ble oflhrowlng a shell weighing three quarters of a ton! In that marvel of engineering under great difficulties, the galleries, are concealed guns for every day In the year! These galleries nre divided Into three sections, entry to which Is guarded, while one Is closed even to high officers, containing preserved stores, munitions of war, rain water (for Gibraltar lias no springs! and a complete condensing plant all calcu lated to outlast a siege of seven years. The firing Is the most mathemat ically perfect imaginable. The sur rounding waters are mapped out Into squares, upon which certain guns are kept ready trained, so that it Is al most Impossible to miss, during prac tice targets are towed across the bay, the object being to hit the water a few yards In advance of them. Making Change in New York. A thin little man with a long beard and a big bundle boarded a Second avenue car nt Fifth street the other day. and when Ihe conductor came around handed up a $1 bill and asked for a transfer to the Fourteenth street line. The conductor handed tlie passen ger a half dollar, a quarter and three dltnes. The thin little man saw the three dimes and quickly thrust his change In bis picket. Me didn't wait until the car got to Fourteenth street, but alighted at Klghth street. When he had gone a passenger said to tlie conductor: "You gave that man three dimes In stead of two." The conductor did not smile, but said : "Ulil I? Well, he'll have a devil of a time getting rid of tlie half dollar." New York Sun.
