' ' That's Why Uncle Josh Didn’t Take the “Pants” that no Wintod. Uncle Joshua was selecting a pair of trousers in the clothing store. “What do you think 0’ them?” he said to the good-natured salesman. “Why. I think they’re. all right,” the salesman said: “but the idea is to please the one that’s to wear them. The question is, do they suit you?” “Ain’t they pretty gay for an old fel- low?” "Gay! That’s a very quiet stripe. They look well on you, too.” ' t “I guess they do fit pretty well. I ain’t worn a pair 0’ striped pants, though, in I dunno how many years, an’—still, you say they are all right.” "I say if they please the one that’s to wear them they most certainly are all right; and you are wearing them, so you’re the judge.” “I believe I do like ’em, by ginger! ’Bout right for len’th, ain’t they?” “They are about as near right as any custom tailor could have made them—— length, waist and everything." “You wouldn’t call it aloud stripe?” “I would not!” “N o; it don’t seem to me so. Still, I’ve been wearin’ either black or pepper ’n salt for I dunno how many years now, an’ everything else looks kind 0’ queer. But, I declare, it does seem good to get some- thing else on. There ain’t any good rea- son why a man 0’ my age shouldn’t wear these pants, is there?” “No earthly reason that I know of, if you like them. They certainly look well, and they are first-rate trousers.” "Well, I guess I’ll go take ’em off and let you do ’em up.- You’ll throw in a pair 0’ suspen—Pshawl there comes—er—this lady comin’ is my wife. I’ll wait a min- ute, I guess—All through with your shop« in’, mother?” “Thank heavens, yes!” replied the vig‘ orous—looking woman who had been ush- ered up the aisle. “What you got on?” she added. “Five dollars,” said the old gentle- man, clutching one leg of the trousers and stretching out the cloth for inspec- tion. “They be, be they? Hev you got lots of time, Joshua?” “Time?—How-why?” “Because if you hev,‘ mebbe it’s all right to rig yourself up in fancy costoom for the entertainment of this young man; but I ain’t got overmuch time, my- self, nu’ I guess we might as well pick out a pair 0’ pants now like what I told ye to git.” “What’s the matter with—” “Lemme see somethin’ on the pepper- ’n-salt crater that’ll about fit him,” said the lady to the salesman. After selects ing a pair about the size required she handed them to the silent man at her side. “N ow you run into the cubbyhole and git into these,” she said; “and let’s see how they look.” “The idea of a man 0’ his age pickin’ our. streaked pants,” she said to the salesman, as her husband moved meekly away. “The pair he’s got in his hand is somethin’ like. Don’t you think so, your« self?” 'The salesman smiled pleasantly. “They are good goods,” he said. “The thing is to please the one. that wears ’em.”— ‘ Puck. A Winter Coat.

Only the male frog sings. The females constitute the audience who sit in the front row and enjoy the music. And it is the speckled green frog who is the prime soloist of the woods. These operettas only take place at night, and the performances begin at 8:30, after an overture by the katydids and the early mosquitoes. The frog, however, does not come out upon the the stage with a roll of music in one hand and a smug smirk on his face. Neither does he proceed to scatter sand upon the floor from a cornucopia and preface his performance with a song and dance. He jumps right into the middle of his song. without even a preliminary bow to the front row in the audience, and after a. succession of short, sharp notes uttered in quick succession, he lets it go at that. A French scientist, after long listening in the woods, has made out and reduced to writing the song of the frog, or “swamp music,” as he calls it, and has discovered that the frog repertory is varied and extensive. Frogs can carry on conversations at long distances and can communicate to each other emotions of fear or hunger. A big, old green frog can make him- self heard for a distance of more than two miles—Scientific American. She Squared the Account. The director of one of our Chicago banks tells about how his wife overdrew her account at the bank last month. “I spoke to her about it one evening,” says he, “and told her she ought to adjust it. at once. A day or two afterward I asked her if she had done what I suggested. ‘Oh, yes,’ she answered, ‘I attended to that matter the very next morning after you spoke to me first of it. I sent the bank my check for the amount” I had over- drawn!’ ”—Chicago Record. Newsboys wanted RUSSIA’S YOUNG EMPEROR. 7| I. Was Wholly Overcome by the Thought 011119 Weighty Tasthcfor-e Hill. The story of the sudden evolution of an Emperor which was brought back to Lon- don by the witnesses of the Russian pages nuts of grief and joy is one of the strang- est in the personal histories of great rulers. The members of the British court and the English correspondents who followed the funeral party from leadia to St. Peters- burg saw and heard some interesting things which it was. not possible to do- scribe in the despatches which were sent home. It is learned that for several days after the death of Alexander III. the members of the Russian court were reduced to de- spair and distraction by the behavior of the young Czar. He was completely un- nerved, not so much by grief at his father’s death as by his sudden encounter with the vast responsibilities of the posi- tion. «He became for some days a shrink- ing, cowering weakling. It was almost impossible to coax or spur him into the exercise of any of his imperial functions. Those whose duty it was to prompt him regarding the proper state and other formalities were at, their wits’ and, and the situation caused the greatest alarm in the court. When some simple course was urged upon him the young Emperor shrank back and begged that he be let alone. He even whimpered when the necessity of action was pressed upon him as imperative. He more than once burst into tears, and acted more liken terrified child than the ruler of an em- pire. ‘ This continued for several days after the arrival of the Prince of Wales, and it was to him that the ofiicials of the Russian court finally appealed. The Prince was equal to the occasion, and in the last three weeks he has done more for England than the whole British foreign office would be able to accomplish in a generation. He remained constantly by the young Emperor’s side. He put heart and courage into him. Before the Czar reached St. Petersburg he was trans- formed. He not only became a man, but began to acquire some of the dignity of his rank. He soon astonished his advisers by displaying a genuinely, intelligent comprehension of public affairs, with sound if not brilliant powers of judg- ment. When the wedding day arrived he had developed an originality and indepen- dence of opinion which further amazed those around him. In other wordsptho' attack of blue funk which at first ci‘wnsed the gravest fears for his capacity to.- prov- ern has been completely conquered. WASHINGTON’S BODY GUARD. A Colored Man \Vho Has Been That for 53 Years and is Still. Visitors to Mount Vernon and the tomb of Washington will remember the gray headed colored man who watches in front of the iron grating behind which repose the remains of the first Presidene of the country, together with those of his wife. The name of. this colored man is Edmond Parker. He was born a slave of John Augustus Washington, and for 53 years he has been one of the fixtures of the Washington homestead. Except for about two years service in the Union army, this man since 1841 has been a con- stant and faithful servant about the spot which is dear to the heart of every Amer- ican. ' After the Mount Vernon estate passed into the hands of the present owners, Parker was designated to watch the tomb and during all these years he has kept this vigil as faithfully as the Virgins guarded the sacred fires on the altar of Vesta. He has watched the coming and going of the thousands of visitors to this patri- otic shrine. and he remembers with dis« tinctness many notable incidents which have there occurred, including visits of noted personages, both native and foreign among them the Emperor of Brazil, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Louise, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, Charles Stewart Parnell, the Princess Eulalia of Spain, and also the various representa- tives of foreign countries who have from time to time been stationed at Washing— ton. With much laquacity in natfie Virginia darkey dialect he tells of these events, and delights to recall how he dug the hole where the Emperor of Brazil planted a tree near the tomb. Recently while at Mount Vernon, the writer asked Parker if he remembered the visits of any of the Presidents since the war, and he said he did not remember to have ever seen General Grant there, but did remember that Mrs. Grant and her daughter had been there on more than one occasion, and each time took much interest in the surroundings, always hav‘ ing a pleasant word for him. President Hayes and wife were there several times, and once, about the time of the annual meeting of the ladies’ asso— ciation, they remained all night. He . remembered to have seen Mr. Arthur there once, at least, and agrees with every one who speaks concerning him that no more elegant gentleman ever paid a visit there. , Speaking of Mt. Cleveland, he said he visited there twice during first term, and each time stood with uncover— ed head in presence of the exposed mar- ble sarcophagus. Sherman, Sheridan, Logan, Butler, Banks and Burnside of the Union army, Gens. Lee, Joe Johnston Gordon, and Buckner of the Confederate cause, he recalls as visitors—VVashing— ton Post. Love In the Oil Regions. Years mm a mushroom oil town called Sawyer City sprang up in a. few weeks during the petroleum excitement in the Bradford oil region. One day a barb peeler and his bride from the - backwoods were taking a twenty mile wedding journey on the railroad that traversed that section of the country. They were very happy, and caressed each other freely, unmindful of the smiles of their fellow passengers. As the train pulled into Sawyer City, and the bridegroom imprinted his one hundred and ninety-ninth kiss upon the fair one’s lips, a brakeman opened the car door and shouted, “Sawyer.” “Don’t care of ye did!” retortcd the hap- py groom. ‘ Then turning triumphantly to his bride, he made it an even two hundred.
