JiOSE AMONG- TJIOENS.

'"Say, boys, did you know we" had ferne new neighbors?'' asked Fred Marshall, one night. "Yes," he returned, in answer to the question deI ictcd on all of our faces, "and what'mere, they are four young ladies, and they just moved into the Il.it belcw us to-day." And Fred looked around at us, conscious that he had made an imITessicn. "Hooray.'" yrlled Jack, rather loudly, considering the fact that he had That very day tailed himself a confirmed bachelor. "Just one apiece," said Harry Morten, with inimitable drawl; "say, boys, I'm going to liave the fir ft pick." "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. I was the eldest, an I I considered it my duty to throw in a idece of advice once in a while. "Are you quite sure tiny are young. Fred?" "Wei!. I don't know," he replied, rather dubiously: "one of the fellows down at the oflice told me, but of course (this w i'h an injured air) he wouldn't be supposed to know just how eld they all were." Hut Jack cleared up the doubt very ft:mmari!y. "Who vr liraitl of four cid maids living in a Hat?"' lie said, his lips curling einte tr.ptuou.-ly. "You mustn't call them Hats," cautlcr.ed Fred: "you know Rostonians Cei.'t talk exactly like we Ohio.ins." "I.osh." said .lack. ".ay. boys, we rr.ust tall on them this very night." Then glancing, at me apprehensively. "Now. don't you j u: in any objection, Jim." "I hope you aren't going" to be quite Tu:h an idiot as to go calling on traüg" ladies ;,i to o lock at night. :s; ecially when they have only had cl day to g-t s'U!e d hi." I said. So ur -all was o-u poned fur a week. One week iatcr tour v ry expectantookin our.g gej'tieiiien might have -er. seen going Indian file down a i.arrow staircase. I rang the bell and in a very short tirae a prim little maid opened the door. Yes, the Misses Jenkins were at home, at least three of them, she said in reply to Jack's eager inquiry: "Would we please walk into the parier?" So we followed the maid into the cozy jarlor and sat down and waited while she went to announce our call to the Misses Jenkins. Soon we heard a rustie of skirts in the hall and we all raade a desperate effort to look calm. And then how can I describe the 'ok of mute amazement and despair LOWED THEMSELVES .SMILINGLY INTO THE HOOM. en Jack's faee when three neatly dressed old ladies, all wearing side curls, bowed themselves smilingly into the room. The boys seemed to be struck dumb and I was left to do all the talking. The three Misses Jenkins were excellent listeners, but they emld not do much at talking. I racked my brain for something to 1alk about, and managed t keep tip the conversatiem for about ten minutes, aided by little "ahs" and "ohs" rnd "you don't say" from the ladies. 7h(n came a little pau-e. ami 1 was not at all surprised when Jack took his watch out. of his pocket and looked at Harry with a startled air. "Well, I declare!' he exclaimed, "boys did you know we had that engage ment at the club to-night?" Harry and Fred reralled it very suddeniyq. too, but when Miss Kuth Jenkins glanced at me, apalirjgly, and said "mns; I go, too," I could not quite t the nerve to leave. And in this ease- virtue was its own Teward. For just a.s I reached the cliuiax of a very thrilling adventure, which, by the way, was entirely impromptu, a very pretty nirl walked .'rito the room. When she- saw me she blushed delightfully and stcod still. Miss Ruth rose. "May," she said, "let me Introduce you te Mr. Harrison. He lives in the apartment above, and ve ry kindly called to-night to enliven our tolitude." Miss May was ar nice as she was pretty and I enjoyed the evening very much, but when I went upstairs I didn't mention her to the other boys. Tor some reastm or other they never n;et he; perhaps because they went emt earlier and came home later from work than die did. She was a mu-ic feather. Rut they continually laughed t me for calling 011 the Misses Jenktf three times a week. One night, about a month later, we --re eating dinner at our boardinghouse. "Say, Jim," said Jack, "don't

you think it's about time you told us which of the Misses Jenkins you are going to marry?" "Perhaps it i-" I answered, taking May's picture out of my vest pocket and showing it to the three, who looked at it open-eyed and very much amazed. May and I are married now. but Jack has never cea.-ed to regret that engagement at the cluh. Edna G. Railey in Boston Po?t.

STRANGE HONEYMOONS. I'uusual Trips Made Iit Advent iirotti Ncwlv-Married I ul-. The wedding tour in a balloon, so graphically described by Mnie. Camilla Flammarion in the current number of the Strain!, is by no means the only urious honeymoon en record. A short while since r.n adventurous couple spent their first days of wedded life on the summit of Mont Mane. The ascent, extremely hazardous by reason of terrific .snowstorms, being successfully accomplished, and the summit reached, the bridegroom, in the presf lu e of the guides, embraced his young wife, to whom he swore eternal fidelity, i nd received fiom her lips an equally fervent assurance. Then the descent was commenced, and the couple, after nearly three days' absence, arrived at Chamounix. whete they were accorded an enthusiastic reception. In the neighborhood of Dobsehau. a small Hungarian town, there i. an extraordinary ice cave. The roof, the wails, the lleio.- are thickly coated with ice, v. hieb in places assumes most fantastic shapes. In this cu ?, some sixteen years ago. a couple named Kolcsey elected to pass the week immediately following their marriage. They took with them .a plentiful supply of rugs, blankets pjp warm clothing, but notwithstanding all precautions, their experience was noc of a sufficiently pleasant nature to tempt imitators. A walking tour may be made an endurable honeymoeui. but to conveit the latter into a walking match seems sadly incongruous with the rites of Hymen. Such, however, was not the opinion of one James Muir and his young bride4, who were united in wedlock last autumn. While courting they had taken many a U!ig walk together, during which a contention had arisen respecting their pedestrian ability. So high did this bickering run that they resolved, as soon as they were married, to put their respective claims to the test by walking from London to Exeter, the bride being allowed to go by train to Rasincstoke, a distance of 47-1- miles. Xo sooner had the knot been tied than the newly-married wife took a ab to the station, while the husband started off westward at a good pace. In the result the latter was ungallant enough to win by over two miles, though the lady kept the had until Honiton, IU'2 miles from the goal, was passed. IN THE PHILIPPINES. Ac tresses Are Not A vml.ible. So Slilrtrel Men l'lay Tarts. Actresses are scarce in the Philippines, and the theatrical manager who will take a cargo of them down there, will probably make a pile t)f money and earn everlasting gratitude of the Filipinos. The 'continuous" slow seems to be the popular entertainment in Manila, judging from a programme, dated November IS, of the Philippine theater. The ca.-t eif "The Raron's Victim," which is the title of a highly sensational melodrama, tails: for two women, erne Miss Emily Fitziempleton, the other Polly, the maid of ail work. Path these eharactvrs were played by men. The specialty turns between the live acts of the comedy were supplied by Hurton and Foley. Jack Zaisser, Harry dray and a personage by the name of Tod Sloan, who is announced on the bill as the famous vocalist. Tod Sloan is evidently a much respected personage in Manila, and likely the adopted name of some clever individual who trades upon the cognomen of the great Ame rican jockey. This Manila Tod Sloan is alsj the business manager ef the Philippine theater, and a sketch artist besides. He has not only announced himself on the Programm with the eat eh line "Guess Who's Coming," but he refuses to eheapen himself by appearing in the drama, vocalism probably being his only forte. There is something peculiar about a Philippine drama. The acts are numbered 1, 2. ,1 and with a note that "there is no fourth act." The bill does not state what is dono with this fourth act. It dtes state that the olio is sandwiched in between acts one and two, between two and three and between three and live. Perhaps this is a new way the atrical managers in our Spanish possessions have te indicate to their patrons that it is time: to ge out and take a drink. Mood 4.

THE PEOPLE'S POET.j PRANK L. STANTON'S LATEST ! BOOK OF LYRIC POETRY. !

'Comes (Hip with a Song" Versen That Charm with Their .Mu:- ami Win the ll"rt with Ttit-lr I en tic Iliim.mltj A Sou of the Sou till in d. Spontaneity, freshness, music, are ihe (pralines that make i'tank L. Stan-Ion'.-, poems charming and popular. They are so sweetly optimistic, too; and. alter all, it is the smile and no; the grow! that saves and blesses t heworld and that lives. Rose.s with the dew c:i hei:?, the laughter of .hildrc n. .ne .-ung of the birds that haunt his ntie wood lands, home". love, patriotism the .-e au his themes. Fiank L. Stanton has been in the public heart and eye for years, now, generally as the author of bits of erse contributed to tile Atlanta Constitution. These were always widely copied, and. unlike most fugitive poems, were read by the public. There are pndably more of Stanton's verges in the scrap-books ed' the country than of any other writer, with the exception, perhaps of Riley. I'ut although lie Legan as a newspaper pejet. pure and simple, and still continues to turn most of Iiis effusions in to the journal that employs hint, Stanton's reputation lias far outgrown his own modest pretensions. His erse is now' s-ought by the best periodicals, and he is greatly admired h; England, where Iiis name is nearly a.- well known as in this country. The popular weekly To-Day. conducted by Jerome K. Jerome, makes a .peci.il feature ef Mr. Stanton's verse, which it frequently reprints with beautiful illustrations. It' one were asked t lie reasons for Stanton's popularity, the correct answer wouid doubtless be. Iiis optimism ami his spontaneity. Any man can b popular who can touch the hearts of FRANK his ttuelieiu-e: some authors arrive at the desired end by making profound studies of human nature, Ubers by instinct and by voicing feelings which they have in common with the rest eif humanity. The latter class are in no danger of writing above or below the hearts ejf their readers. Frank E. Stanton sings as easily as a thrush and with the rippling lilt of a brook flowing through a meadow. His latest book is entitled "Come One' with a Song" -no one but a poet could have given a book such a name! - and has been mae'.e with befitting e-are and tate by the Row en-Merrill company. Stanton's whole philosophy and impulse of his singing ate to be found in the tender little song which we epmte: Com", said Eove upon a elay; Come anel far my rosy way; If perchance the thorns we meet They shall make the roses sweet. So with Eove i )'ussd along; All the world was sweet with song; Xeve'i thorn was mine, for be iiid them i i his lwart from me. In the realm of negro elialee t Stanton is some'tinie's inimitable. When one leaels the hodge'poelge that is se ofteui writ tn to oreler in this line- by y.inkee bards for emr great magazine's one beeonics metre than ever e en inceel that all this .-ort of tiling should b' le-ft te our Setuthern writers. The lullaby herewith Uote'd is pcrfee-t in its w;.y. It has the right swing that eif the radle e-ejmbiiie'el with pathos anel swee-tness. Even Paul Lawrence Dunbar will b envious when he rebels it: Sieh a liT feller, en he se-ttin' up so wi ?! Say he like his daddy, but he got Iiis mainiiry's eye's; Anei tuck en de ip him fum a winder in de skies Ry-bye, honey, t weU ele niawnin'. Sieh a li'l feller, in de cunnin'es' r cloze! Say he luve his elaeldy, but his mammy's what he knows! I'eiun' him in eh springtime, -n iley tue k hint fer a reise Ry-bye, honey, twell eb niawnin. Sich a 111 feller, 'ti he talkin' like a man!

Need more be said? When the author's; work pleads so sweetly and eloquently for itself, the reviewer's task is plain and easy. GRIP AND OVERCOATS. Koni'tvin; the Curiuent When in a Warm !iout I rsjetl. The latest word of advke from the doctors concerns an important quoslie;ii. even if it imposes a difficult duty. "Take off your overcoat" is the peremptory ommnnd that Mime physicians give those persons who would escape to!d and its probable coiisee,ueaces. the gi p. That oven oats should b-: taken off in such weather in erder to avoid catching cold se ema vagary of the medical mind that would persuade nobody. Rut it nri-t be understood that these coats are to be taken ejfi' only in public conv yanc's, heated to a point that mak's il.eni uncomfortable, even to persons not protected from the i by heavy o e i garnu'iits. "I advise all my palie ii'.s." said one well-known physician. "Jei take off their overcoats as se i'U as they get on an ede-vate 1 train. P. may be an incon v nie nce ami sometimes a eiiHieulty. ami your neighbors are likely to look upon you as -c;-en-tiie-, if nothing worse.
