The ancient drama of Potiphar's wife has recently been reenacted, in Russell, Kan. Mrs. Potiphar was the young wife of a doctor.

It is not stated whether she was a woman of personal charms, and tbe story of the occurance in Egypt is also silent on that point and yet it makes considerable difference so far as the merits of the Joseph are concerned.

'.lon House it is the easiett thing possible to find jast the thing needed, and they are as esgerly sought after as pretty young schoolma'ams in Leadville. A correspondent writes, the reason tbey have no schools in Leadville is because all the schoolma'ams who go there find husbands between the depot and the hotel, and consequently don't care whether school keeps or not.

A gentleman said the other day. "I love beet to see the beautiful Parasols, Ca*hmere Capes, Zephyr Shawls, Ribbons, Scarfs, Lacee, Bows and Ties, when worn by beautiful women, and can usually tell those that come from the Star Notion House, they are always so neat, fresh and new-looking. No fear of getting old and shop-worn goods theie." He is a gentleman of taste and good judgment, for he bays his Shirts, Ties, Collars and Cuffs Scarfs, Handkerchiefs and Summer Underware, at this ssme popular house, where he finds them a little cheaper and better than elsewhere. Some weeks ago this ssme young gentlemen asked his Sunday School class, of eight or ten bright little girls, each to come prepared on the following Sabbath, to repeat a passage of Scripture, bearing on love. At the lime appointed each was snxious to respond with such verses as: "Little children, love one another "Love your enemies "Love covers a multitude of sins.," etc., until all, save two or three, had repeated a verse when pne of the brightest of them all repeated, Song of Solomon, 2d chapter, 5th verse: "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love." He doesn't insist any more on verses from the bible, (this little girl has an older sister) but says everybody had best go to the Star Notion House to buy Gloves, Fans, Perasol8,Corsete, Hoop Skirts, Table Linens, Towels, Napkins, etc., where they can buy them clean, fresh and new, and always at the lowest prices.
