FAIR KLEPTOMANIACS. A Story of Poor Benntlfnl Dclawtn Women nd Their Unhappy Father. Among tbs most beautiful, high- j 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 i the family lived. The four girls had it to a greater degree than their j mother They never went anywhere ; that they did not appropriate some- •

thing, no matter what it might he, and in nine cashes out of ten the things stolen would 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 Ids 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 unsympathetic and hard headed sort of person. .He did not helieve in kleptomania. He said the citizen’s family were just thieves aim 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 punishod at the post. No one thought ho would make good his threat, and so wheu he followed two of the sisters from the store, called a constable and had them arrested on the street, charged with stealing gloves from him, the consternation'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 face as surely as it had ever loomed before tlie commonest culprit that had ever been brought within its shadow, if their case came to trial. Tho governor of the state, it was well known, was a strict and stern man, who made it an unalterable rule to never interfere with the course of justice, and a pardon from him was out of the question. In his despair the father of the girls appealed to the merchant to name his pripe for not proceeding with the cole.' 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 survive the disgrace that he felt the arrest of his daughters had brought j upon him. The girls held their heads j 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 tbesQ sisters will make their selections j 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 succumbed f6 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. A fragment of conversation from » recent west end reception: “Do you play, Miss B.?” “No.” “Why, I thought you did. ” “Yes, she does. She plays beautifully.” “Indeed I don’t,” says Miss B. “I’m all out of practice. ” “Oh, Miss R I heard you play several pieces only last week, and you played them beautifully.” “But I haven’t my music with, me.” “We have a great variety of musio here, ” says the hostess pltsasantly. Miss B. yields, seats herself at the piano,, dashes off a brilliano galop and without further request proceeds to play everything she knows until those who had urged her to play wish they had held theirpeace.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Deceived Himself Even. “What were 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 aftfiah I said it that I hadn’t. ’ ’-—London Answers.
