COURTING BY WIRE. The Mm Gashed Over the Ticker, but Was Disenchanted on-Sight. A telegraph operator in a Boston office i once met with bitter disappointment early in his career by falling in love with a young woman at the other end of one of the old Western Union wires. She used to say sweet little nothings when a lull in the business gave her an opportunity to use the wire. The young man •worked in the Boston office and had the reputation of being a “fly” sender and able to receive what he could send, an all important factor in the “sizingup” of an operator. The woman was proud to have him say even “Gm” or “Ge” (good morn- ; ingorgood evening) to her, and the other ) girls on the wire, with whom he never condescended to exchange even these ordinary salutations, were jealous. As time wore on their conversations over the wire became longer and morejfrequent. Finally an invitation to come to Boston and • visit one of the theaters was given and accepted. The Lothario of the wire was to wear a red, red rose in his buttonhole, a white straw hat, with a blue band; she was to carry a small satchel of peculiar shape in one hand and a fluffy lace handkerchief in the other. The train arrived at the eastern station on time, and the satchel of peculiar design was sighted. It was indeed a peculiar design. It was an old fashioned carpetbag of a grayish .green color and considerably older than the Morse alphabet. The girl was a sight that would have made Neil Burgess in the “County Fair” go and hide. She was fully 48 years old. Long corkscrew curls of a y past era bung down over her shoulders like twists of molasses candy, and°a smile loomed up under the eaves of her suiibop.net t'mlt would have done credit to a fissure in the side of Vesuvius. She was extremely glad to see him, and he, with the instinct of a true gentleman, tried to appear that he was just as glad to see her. He tool; her carpetbag, and they boarded a car for the house where he was staying. There Were sly nudges and covert laughs at the tea table, all the girls and young men thinking the young operator was entertaining bis aunt from the country. For the evening performance tit the theater the giddy maiden fished out an awful bonnet from the depths of her car-, petbag and slicked up her curls in the most approved fashion. The bonnet w’S a Hower garden in itself, and the writer has the young man’s own word for it that she and the bonnet attracted more attention than the play. r i' o next day he sent her home, but ever after he was careful not to allow him -' If to converse with any one on the wi: except on business.—Donahoe's .Ma i.'.jne. Antiquit;- of the Alphabet. J. cording to Philippe Berger's book em iuod “Histoire de I'Ecritus dans I’Antiquite,” the alphabet was invented about lpJvi B. C., that invented by the Pfaoe- * nici.rns being without doubt the oldest of all the forms of expressing thought or sounds by character. Originally it and all other alphabets were simply a series of hieroglyphics or picture characters, the idea of an elephant or an ox being expressed by rude sketches of such animals, abbreviations being in the form of a pair of tusks, horns, etc. Professor Auer (see Vienna edition of his “Sprachalle,” 1849) says that, taking both the ancient and modern alphabets into account, as many as 400 different sets of characters, hieroglyphics and letters may be enumerated, that these are all outgrowths of the Phoenician mode of mutely Expressing thought or sound, and that if we should set aside slight variations of form the grand total of 400 alphabets would dwindleslinmediately tb less than 50. The best oriental scholars have given it as their opinion that the original Phoenician alphabet was composed of but 16 characters, yet it is known that it contained at least 2,1 and probably 22 at the time when it was adopted by the Greeks. Why or by whom these extra characters were invented, or why such an addition was necessary, has never been explained. —St. Louis Republic. 1 For Spring Fountain Park Assembly to be held at Warsaw, Ind., July 18 to August 1, the G.

WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE. Hagerneas of Peeple to Take Undue Advantage of a Practical Scheme. “Do you remember me?” inquired the man as he quietly slipped up to the city editor's desk. . “I can't say that I do,” replied the city editor, looking him over carefully. ' “You remember 1 was in here some time ago giving policies of insurance on bunches of keys?” “Oh, yes, I remember now. I took sne.” “Os course. All wise men db. At the same time, if you recall it, I told you I had a great scheme for insuring umbrellas on the same plan?” “I believe Ido recall it. How did it come out?” The man threw up his hands hopelessly. “Well,” he said, “before that week was out I had my umbrella insurance company at work, with agents all over town. The success was immediate and phenomenal. Everybody wanted to insure his umbrella. The premium was 50 cents a year. The amount to be paid to persons returning lost umbrellas was |3 —about the average price of an umbrella a man doesn't like to lose, you know. Agents turned in policies by the pocketfuls the first week. I hadn’t any idea there were as many half dollars in circulation as I received at my office. Second week they kept coming, and I began to think of plans for a great building on Woodward avenue for the accommodation of the business, to be known as the Pmbrella Insurance building. Third week it was still going. Fourth weekit rained. Fifth week umbrellas began coming in. 1 didn’t know there were so many umbrellas in the world. “Sixth week it was worse, and I began to investigate. Watched the people who brought them in and got the $3. Mostly people above Suspicion—to look at. Discovered they had been stealing them; always picked out one with our tag on it. Didn’t know there were so many people who thought it no sin to steal an umbrella; never thought of that when I got up the company; wasn’t an umbrella in the lot worth $3; didn't know so many people wore cheap umbrellas; something rotten in Denmark. Just come up here from my office; string of people I’m -v reachjng half wayaround the block wa. iiig to get in. Tiiere isn’t money enoii;;;i left in the fund to buy a ferry ticket with. I've come here to see if you won't Iml me that amount. I’m not going back, but I notice in the paper that Mr. Dingbat, the well known president of the Umbrella Insurance company, having been suddenly called to China, left this morning by way of Windsor and Quebec. Do I get the price of a ferry ticket? Thanks.” And he went out, leaving the city editor in a condition of partial paralysis.—Detroit Free Press. —— — ' One on Joe Hailey. Senator Perry J. Lewis tells a story on Congressman Joe Bailey, for which, however, he quotes Senator A. M.

Carter hailed the darky and remarked: “That's a pretty spirited animal you are riding, old man. Is he a good runner?” “ ‘Well, no, sab, he isn’t much of a runnin boss,? replied the rider. “ ‘Oh, then he is a good trotter, I suppose,’ remarked Carter. “ ‘No, sah, he ain’t no trotter neither,’ skid Scipio Africanus. “ ‘Ob, I see,’ejaculated Carter; ‘he is a No. 1 pacer.’ “ ‘No, sah, dis host ain’t no trotter, nor he ain’t no pacer needer,’ ’“Well, what is he fit for anyhow? asked Carter. “ ‘Just ter prance aroun an look fine, boss,’ replied the .darky, ‘an datfs Why I has outen a compliment named him arter Marse Joe Bailey dar.’” — Galveston News. i>For Bethany Park Assembly held at Brooklyn, Ind., August 2 to 22, the G.

EXPERT THIEVING. HOW PRIVATE HOUSES ARE WORKED BY INGENIOUS CROOKS. Some of the New Trick* Well Calcsilated to Deceive the Caution*—Calling'’ Fur Article* Just Delivered —A Cunning Game In Connection With Lost Article*. During the cold weather of the early part of the year an eastern lady visiting St a well known house in the heart of the city ordered from a prominent furrier a costly wrap of Russian sable. Alterations in the garment were necessary, and as they would require time and the lady was about returning east-she requested her hostess to receive the wrap and forward it to her. The long box was delivered on the promised day, and the sable wrap was just being packed for expressage when the front door bell again pealed sharply, and a message, purporting to come from the furrier, was brought. It was to the effect that an alteration, particularly directed, had been overlooked. The furrier requested the return of the garment and the mistake would be rectified that sapm afternoon. The huge box wa. about tobe intrusted to the messenger when a fortuitous impulse came to its guardian. She returned word to the messenger that she declined totake the responsibility of permitting anything so valuable to be taken away without a written order, but would herself call at the furrier's the following morning. That call confirmed suspicions. The furrier bad authorized no one to recover the wrap. It was easy to draw conclusions. Again, and yet more recently, a lady resident of West Walnut street found on her return home one mild afternoon that a valuable jewel watch had fallen from its chatelaine and left no trades behind. That evening her husband hastened to have the loss .advertised in the morning papers. At breakfast the “Lost and Found” columns were carefully read. The valuable chatelaine watch was described in the “Lost” lines, and to the joy of husband and wife another “ad.” was found detailing the discovery of a lady’s jeweled watch on the street in the same vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, as they may be called, were still discussing breakfast and the lost watch when a man was announced. “About a lost watch,” so ran his message. “picked up the previous evening on the pavement below.” “My watch. I'm confident,” she exclaimed, springing from her chair. “So you said a few moments ago, when ' you read the ‘Found’ advertisement ,” remonstrated her husband. But she hurried through the doorway, the caution, “Be careful what yon say,” ringing in her ears. “You lost a watch; I found one,” so began the man. “Describe yours, please.” Mrs. Smith did so, while tht stranger kept his left hand closed, seemingly, over the lost trinket. “Your watch number—that I must have,” continued as she finished a brief but clear description. Quite impressed by his corprtS'K manner. she cousulfed a card on which she had methojjicM'lly jotted down her treasure’s number. The man repeated the figures slowly after her. “After all, this doesn’t appear to be your watch," he said coolly, exhibiting a | cheap timepiece of rolled gold. | Grumbling over the wasted moments. ; she quickly donned her street suit and hastened to the neighboring house from where the “Found” notice had issued. She was met on the threshold by the neighbor herself, whose excited greeting was: “So glad we were the fortunate finders ; of your beautiful watch. Bridget saw it shining on the pavement as she was lighting the vestibule lamp. When your brother called 20 minutes or so ago, we were as pleased to give him the watch as he was to get it. Os course we were careful to have it described, which he did accurately, giving the exact number,” etc. Mrs. Smith is still minus her pretty jewel, but she has learned a costly lesson. The audacity of these house thieves is often really amusing. They will go to any extent and take the greatest risk to accomplish their ends. One more example like the aforementioned, a true one: In a commodious down town residence a valuable ornament in the library is a bust of Andrew Jackson, cut in solid marble by a master hand. The house’s head, now in the “great majority” ranks, was a man noted for his wide sympathies and generous views. It did not excite much comment at his house when, one day, a couple of men called and stated that the colonel had directed them to carry the Jackson bust to his office, not far distant, where it was to figure in an early political demonstration. The ladies of the family were not at home, but an old Irish woman, who ha.d for years been a fixture in the kitchen, caught sight of the as it was being carried out of the door. She was attached to the family she had served so long, their interests were hers, and she managed to gain upon the two men, who were hurrying down the street, burdened with the heavy marble. “You take that figger right back to the house,” commanded the aproned captain. “Take it back, or I’ll call a perleeceman. Es the colonel wanted, that figger, he'd a-written fur it. Yoh kerry it back.” The men saw that the dumpy, calico gowned maid meant business. They did “kerry” the bust back, else the colonel would have mourned a valuable ornament, for he had not authorised its removal.—Philadelphia Times. A Slangy Congregation. x ’ i ; Little Flossie —The people at the Episcopal church are very slangy, don’t you think, mamma? Mamma—No, dear. Whatmakes you think so? Flossie—Well, every time the minister stopped reading they all said ah there. — ■
