Unused to the Custom.

When Dr. Dewitt, of tlie army, was stationed at a post on the Mexican frontier, his Mexican friends determined to do him honor. Accordingly, they arranged a great ball. Dr. and Mrs. Dewitt were invited, and they were indeed the guests of honor. The ball began egrly, and the surgeon and bls Wife danced in the first set. They danced In nearly every set, in fact, for politeness forbade refusal, and after a few hours of it they began to be very tired. Time wore on, and still the dance went on. It went on fill night. Finally Dr. Dewitt called one <ft the men aside and ; asked him when In heaven’s name the thing was going to be over. “Oh, Seller,” said the Mexican; “we have beten waiting these many hours for you to give the signal for the last dance."
