FAIR KLEPTOMANIACS. A Story of Four Beautiful Mmhn Women and Their Unhappy Father. Among the most beautiful, high* ly cultured and charming women of the state of Delaware just before the late war were the four daughters of one of the highest officials in the state, but they had inherited from their mother the misfortune of kleptomania. The fact of the mother’s weakness in this respect had been known for years in the town where the family lived. The four girls had it to a greater degree than their mother. They never went anywhere that they did not appropriate something, no matter what it might be, and in.nine cases out of ten the things stolen wonld be entirely useless for any purpose of their own. The father and husband knew this unfortunate propensity of his wife and daughters and had a standing order at all the stores in the place that a bill should be sent to him for any article or articles that might be missed after a visit of his wife or daughters to any of those places. The situation was well understood by every one in business there, and no trouble for the family was ever made by any merchant or dealer. But at last a stranger came to the town and opened a store. He was promptly notified by the head of the kleptomaniac family of the weakness of its members, and the usual order was left at the store for the sending of bills for missing articles. The new storekeeper seems to have been an unsympathetio and hard headed sort of person. He did not believe in kleptomania. He said the oitizen’s family were just thieves and declared that if any of them walked away from his store with goods he would have them arrested, pilloried and whipped as soon, and sooner, than he would have a common chicken thief punished at the post No one thought he would make good his threat, and so when he followed two of the sisters from the store, called a oonstable and had them arrested on the street, charged with stealing gloves from him, the oonsternation was great The gloves and other articles were found in the possession of the girls, and they would have been committed to jail but for the coming forward of citizens to furnish bail for their appearance for trial. The whipping post stared these two high born, refined and beautiful young women in the faoe as surely as it had ever loomed before the commonest culprit that had ever been brought within its shadow, if their case came to trial. The governor of the state, it was well known, was a strict and stem man, who made it an unalterable rule to never interfere with the course of justice, and a pardon from him was out of the quostion. In his despair the father of the girls appealed to the merchant to name his price for not proceeding with the case. The man named one, and the citizen paid it, although in doing it he had to impoverish himself and his family. The unfortunate man did not long i survive the disgraoe that he felt the arrest of his daughters had brought upon him. The girls held their heads as high as ever, and every one of them married exceedingly well. They are all living yet, have grown up children, all well to do, which is fortunate, for as grandmothers these sisters will make their selections from stores in the same surreptitious manner and keep their husbands and sons and grandsons on the alert to settle the bills, as they did a generation ago, when their poor father suooumbed to the influences of their unfortunate mania. The whipping post had great opportunities in the old days; it has yet, but it isn’t used right, nor is half a chance given it in these degenerate days.—Interview in New York Sun.

Sorry They Spoke. V A fragment of conversation from a recent west end reception: “Do you play, Miss R?” “No.” “Why, I thought you did.” “Yes, she does. She plays beautifully.” “Indeed I don’t,” says Miss R “I’m all out of practioe. ” “Oh, Miss R I heard you play several pieces only last week, and you played them beautifully. ” “But I haven’t my musio with me.” “We have a great variety of musio here, ’’ says the hostess pleasantly. Miss B. yields, seats herself at the piano, dashes off a brilliant galop and without further request proceeds to play everything she knows until those who had urged her to play wish they had held their peace.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Deceived Himself Even. “What we$e you about to remark?” “Nothing at all, I assure you, ” replied Cholly. “But you look as if you had something to say. ” “Yaas, I’m verwy deceptive that way. I’ve often thought myself that I had something to say and disoovahed afthah I, said it that I hadn’t”—London Answers.
