Tlio advance ngcnt met the leading man of another show tlic other night , nml , n.8 they linil not seen ench other In j Bcven years , there wns a warmiicBU , about their greeting that was rulrcfih- luff. luff."Denr "Denr old Tom ! " nald the Iciullnft man. " 1 was thinking of yon not live minutes ago. Sit down , yon dear old fellow 1 1 passed a bakery not live min utes ago , and 1 thought of you. AVhy , here's Willis ! I was Junt Baying toTem Tom that 1 never nee a baker's that I don't think of him. Tom iuul 1 wcro poor once ! Mighty poor too. I re member that we had been turned out of different homes on the same cold night and met each other for the IIrat time by chance. We shared the com forts of n butcher's wagon that night and went upon a rummaging expedi tion the next day. We halted In front of n German bakery , half starved and disgusted with life generally. There was a huge sign In the window which Bald , 'There la No Cake Like Ours. ' We hadn't a penny between us , but Tom stepped lu and asked for a sample of the cake. The Dutchman didn't an- r predate the humor of the request , so Tom said , 'You may keep your cake , loss ; but , say , give me a chunk of bread , quick , or I'll cut out your giz zard. ' I'll never forget that cake sign because It took us liottri ? to get away from the police who were attracted to the scene by the baker's cries for help. " "But that was not my only experi ence with a peculiar sign , " remarked the advance agent after a hearty laugh. "The year before I went on the road for the first time I was In as hard luck as ever man was. I had pawned ev erything In sight and was almost starv ed. I found an umbrella In the hall way of a down town building , and the Janitor told me to keep It. It was a fairly good rain shield , and I Immedi ately carried It to mine uncle. I didn't know this particular relative , although I had formed the acquaintance of hun dreds of his people. Ills place was on Sixth avenue , and he gave mo 75 cents on It , which I gladly accepted. ' As he was making out the ticket he said : " 'Do you want to save It from the moths ? ' " 'Yes , ' I answered. " 'That will cost you 12 cents. Per haps you would like to have it insured ? It is always advisable , but it will cos > t you 12 cents more , ' replied my friend. "A " 'All right , ' I said. 'Take good care f" of it. ' He could have eaten it for all I cared , for I never intended to redeem It. I was about to leave the place when I saw a big sign on the far wall. It said : " 'No extra charge for putting watch es and Jewelry in the safe in the otllce. ' "Watches aud Jewelry ! It brought the tears to my eyes , and as I crawled Into my 10 cent bed that night I thought of diamond necklaces , pearls and rubles of priceless value and cake. Oh , the curse of some signs ! IIow they mock the poor ! " They were all silent a moment , but the one addressed as Willis was the first to resume conversation , and he Eaicl : "There's my friend , Big John Smith. Let me Introduce him. Since you chaps are talking of signs and hard luck , let mo tell you of the time that I had to leave iny trunk at the old Stevens House , on lower Broadway , and light out by the shades of midnight to get away from a hotel bill that I couldn't pay. Everything I had In the world was locked up in that trunk , and as 1 could not remove anything without ex citing suspicion I thought It best to keep out of Jail by leaving everything behind me. I must have walked the streets at least a week famished and penniless. One afternoon I was passIng - Ing along an up town street , hoping to die , when I happened to look up and saw a sign as big as my hopes were email. This sign read : " 'We Are Not Daylight Robbers. Trunks ! Trunks ! From the Battery to the Harlem Bridge to Your Room For 25 Cents. ' "If that sign was not the Irony of fate In my case , I do not know what to call it. " "Oh , that's a small affair alongside of my experience , " said Smith. "It Is only a few years ago too. I had been unemployed for several months , and as I had six little shavers'to take care of I did not have much trouble spending the little money I had saved. I didn't seem to have a friend In the wide world to turn to , and I spent my last copper for a paper to examine the employment col umn. It was about Christmas time , and I dreaded going back home to face the scolding landlord. I recall that I etopped in front of the Harlem office of a newspaper to see the holiday crowd go by , and as I did so 1 saw n sign that made my blood run cold. It said : " 'There Is No Reason Why You Should Bo Idle. Insert a Want Ad. Four Cents a Line. ' "The pronoun was printed In Im mense letters , and I had the greatest trouble dissuading myself that it was not Intended for me , and me alone. Of course It wasn't , but that sign burn ed Into my memory , and I have thought of It Innumerable times since. " "Oh , pshaw ! " rejoined the leading man after a pause. "I suppose it Is Im possible to please everybody with pub lic signs. I saw one In Buffalo once which said : 'Attention , blind men. Read this and be cured , ' which referred to a new treatment for the blind. All Blgns cannot be expected to satisfy the Ideas of everybody. " New York Mall and Express. llullrtl from Ji Uniilil Torrn. "One of the funniest experiences In my hotel life , " said an old ch-rk , "was that In which a man registered lil > name without writing his town nfti-i It , as Is the custom. When 1 ealln. his attention to It , he said : M hadn't forgot It , but 1 feel a little hit timid about It. The last time IVIIH I nwn.i from home 1 registered the mime ol my town and the clerk asked mi what state It wna In. 1 got mad In a minute and wouldn't stay In the holme. 1 went to another IIOUHO and reglstcied from Brooklyn , and the next day 1 appeared In the paper credited to New York. I showed It to the clerk , and he said he changed my place of residence on the book because nobody ever registered from Brooklyn. ' " 1 told the man he need have no fear of having the Incident repeated lu our place provided he wanted to write the name , lie said he would think about It and asked to he shown his room , so 1 saw no more of him un til late In the night. He then asked me If I had an atlas. Ho studied It minutely for a few minutes , measured distances with his two hands , like a farmer , and then he called me and pointed out the name of a town. 1 asked him If that was his. " 'It Is the name all right , ' he replied , 'but I don't know whether the town is still there. It Is the boomlncsl town you over see , and when 1 left It was growln so fast that farmers In the adjolnlu state were burnln their fences to keep the town from growln right over 'em. ' " Chicago Inter Ocean. AVnn Quern POHH Sir Horace Wnlpole's description of the maiden queen , drawn from her portraits and from contemporary ac counts , Is not a very attractive one. "A palp Roman nose , a head of hair loaded with crowns and powdered with diamonds , a vast ruff , a vaster farthin gale and a bushel of pearls are , " he says , "the features by which every body knows at a glance the pictures of Queen Kllxaheth. " But notwithstanding that she did not care for art and that , knowing her lack of It , she affected to despise bodi ly comeliness , still she loved to multi ply portraits of herself. "In them she could appear really handsome. " Yet if she has been fluttered In the exist ing likenesses of her she must have been not merely plain , but a remark ably ugly woman. Perhaps the truth is that with the most courtly Inten tions the painters of the time did not know how to prevaricate. "The queen , " says a foreign observer. "Is fair , but wrinkled. Her nose is a little hooked , her lips thin and her teeth black. She wore false hair and that red. Her bosom was uncovered , as all the English ladles have it until they marry. " That the painters flat tered her In some degree we must infer from that fact that she was fond of sitting to them , though she could not bear the sight of a mirror , which so enraged her that her attendants were obliged to hide theirs when she was present. Art Amateur. When Women IMnyed CrlcUet. The following is from an article In the London General Advertiser of 1747 : "On Monday last In playing the Wo men's Cricket Match the Company broke in , so that it was impossible for the game to be play'd out ; aud some of them being very much frightened , and others hurt , It could not be fluish'd till this Morning , when at Nine o'Clock they will finish the same , hoping the Company will be so kind as to indulge them in not walking within the Ring , which will not only be a great Pleas ure to them , but a general Satisfaction to the Whole. All Gentlemen and La dies that have paid to see this Match on Monday shall have the Liberty of the Ground to see it finlsh'd , without any other charge. And in the After noon they will play a Second Match , lu the same Place , several large Sums being depending between the Women of the Hills of Sussex , In Orange Col- our'd Ribbons , and those of the Dales , In Blue. The Wickets to be pitch'd by One o'Clock , and to begin Play by Two. " Inanlt to Injury. He had been studying shorthand , thinking It might be a help to him In his business , and naturally he was In terested in It So It happened that when he did something to displease his wife and she started to tell him what she thought of It all he asked her to wait a minute. "Walt a minute ! " she exclaimed In astonishment "Why ? " "I don't like to miss such a splendid chance for practice , " he replied , reachIng - Ing for his pencil and paper. "I'm training for a speed certificate , you know , and rapid dictation Is Just what I want. Now go ahead. " Dotli Glnd.

AB evidence of the extent to which the ornamental precedes the useful Ex plorer llumboldt noted the fact that the Orinoco Indians In fair went tier Htruttcd about attired In all the finery they were able to procure , their facea painted gaudily , their heads decked with feathers , their whole aim being to strike astonishment to the beholder and no regard whatever had for com fort. fort.When When the weather WUH bad , llum boldt found that the RIUUU men would doff their clothing and carry It about to nave It for display on future sunny days. The name traits are seen today In the North American Indians , little modified by many years of Intermingling with civilization. That part of PemiRylvanla avenue , Washington , running from Second to Sixth street IP the favorite promenade of visiting Indians. Portions of Second end aud Third streets , running off the avenue , are filled with boarding houses especially patronlr.ed by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites In consequence. A number of photographers In the vi cinity are the chief attractions of this neighborhood for the aborigines. Noth ing so delights them as to strut gravely from their boarding I-OUHCH to these art galleries to sit for solemn pictures at Uncle Sam's expense , the bill being charged In with necessaries Incidental to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for Ills photograph In full paint and feathers and n grotesque mixture of cheap ready made garments with blankets and hear claws would bo the greatest hardship possible to this chieftains. Showing the same disposition Hum- boldt noted , the visitors get themselves up more barbarously the closer they get to civilization. St. Louis Republic. A RARE VOLUME BY PENN. Only KnoiTti Copy ! Ownnl liy QnaUrrM In riillmlclpliln. The only known copy of Penn's Issue of "Magn.a Oharta. " published In 1GS7 by the Bradford Press , Is the property of the Meeting For Sufferings , a repre sentative body of the Friends' yearly meeting In Philadelphia. Its title In "The Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Propriety ; Being the Birthright of the Freebom Subjects of England. " The copy Is not generally open to the public. The peculiar significance of this book Is that a half dozen years after Penn founded his colony ho wished to liavu the colonists keenly realize that they would have to stand for their rights in the new , country as well as the old , where they had been BO cruelly perse cuted. He wrote this book in order that they might be Informed on the consti tution of their local government and know what were the legal bases of their rights as citizens. Curiously enough the only proof there is that this work was William Penn's IB the statement made by Chief Justice David Lloyd In 17US. a great Quaker leader who was Penn's attor ney general at the time the book won Issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also at that time an Intimate friend of Wil liam Puiin and consequently knew whereof he spoke. The volume was reproduced In fac simile by the Phllobiblon club In 1807 for a limited number of subscribers. The original volume , however , must al ways remain the rare thing that It Is. one of the best expressions of liberty under law that the mind of the great founder could conceive. Philadelphia Press. After a Strangle. "Georgle , " said a fond mother to a little 4-year-old , "you must take the umbrella to school with you , or you will get wet. It rains hard. " "I want the little one , " he said , meaning the parasol. "No , my dear. That Is for dry weath er. You must take this and go like a good boy. " Georgie did as he was bid and got to school comfortably. After school hours It bad stopped raining , and Georgle trudged home with the remnants of the umbrella un der his arm. "Oh , Georgie , what have you been doing with my umbrella ? " said his mother when she saw the state It was In. "You should have let me had the lit tle one , " said he. "This was such a great one It took four of us to pull It through the door. " Leslie's Weekly. the Or.
