BISMARCK TliaVVELS IN STATI WHEREVER HIS MISTRESS GOE!^ A woman walked into the breakfa* room of one of Chicago's swell hotels dressed ia traveling costume and carry ii g on her arm a cape ot plaid cloth which she hung over the chair next al table", disposing of it with some care. as if it might be of value. Then she gave her attention to the menu and discussed a service of fruit while she waited for her order. She wns roused from a pleasing stuely of her plate by a series of "Ohs!" an "Abs!" and "What a dalling:" and basty glance stared her a big whit Angora cat scated gracefully on tl., vacant chair at her side'. "Ob, Bismark, you dreadful ca ! she said, ns the bead waiter approache-o with a look in his eye that boded nv good to the cat. '?I mus put him out, madam," he said, with the a.surance that goes witb head waiters. But his mistress clicked her Ange's and the cat disappeared. Every eve was upon him, yet no one taw him go. The waiter looked on the chair and under it, but pussy had vanished like a dream. "Find the cat?he is (ta tho picture somewhere," remarked tho owner e f the pet, as she buttered ber toast. But thc cat did not como back, and it was not until the woman had finished her breakfast and was leaving the table. with her traveling cape thrown over ber aim, that the mystery of the animal's disappearance was explained, and pussy's head wa9 alowed to peep from a capacious inside pocket in that cape. "He has traveled in that pocket from lhe Pacific coast, and this is the first time he bas given away his hielin, place," saiel his mistress. He will not pur for fear of being found, but he is near his journey's end now and is get? ting tired. This cape is his exclusive property, and the pocket is his private car."?Chicago Times-Herald. MUSTERED IN AS PRIVATES. Two teer relatives cf President McKinley have enlisted in lhe volun? teer army as private soldiei s, to aid in Hie establishment of a safe anil stable government in the idand of Cuba. They are his nephews?John De "Wit Parber and Jam ci? Fuller McKinley? both of whom have been his guests at the "White House for some time. Like true pattiotic sons of patriotic fathers, they yearned to enlist in their country's cause against the despotic nile of the Spaniards, and in order to do so ex pressed their desire and entire willing? ness to servo in the ranks with the other sohlier boys. The Presitlent was urged by some of their friends to ap? point them second lieutenants in the nrmy, and he might easily have done so iu filling the numerous vacancies in tbat grade caused by the recent heavy increase in the military strength. He declined, however, to exercise his prerogative in this matter in favor of his relatives, and said that inasmuch ns they weie willing to enlist as pri? vates he would prefer that they do so, And that courso was followed. They nie now in service of the United States. AFPAIDOF THOSE WHO DONT ADVERTISE. aU A well-known Philadelphia man tem? porarily visiting Washington, wal go? ing somewhat out of his way to reach . a florist. When his attention was call- f ed to the fact that there was a florist nearer, he said : "I am seeking the man because he advertised in the news papers. For tho last few jears I have made it a rule never to deal with any business man who dosen't advertise. I wanted some flowers to send of in a box by mail, and I looked in the paper tliis morning for the advertisement of a florist. I don't know any of the places here; but the rule is a good one, and I'll bet you anything you say that I can get what I want at this placo and get it cheaper than aoywhere else. Tho business man that does not advertise I havo always found tarrow-miaded, selfish, non-enterpnsing, penny-wise and pound foolish, even if he didn't cheat me outright. WANTS A HUSBAND OR A JOB. In tho Governor's mail yesterday was a letter from a Virginia postmaster, who wrote in behalf of a lady who is anxious to be a nurse in tho army- The writer of tho letter Baid the hdy is between 35 and -40 years of a^o, has been a teacher fer somo years, and that she has an undo who is a physician, and that she has nursed many srrious cases for hor uncle, being instrumental in saving some very doubtful cases. Tho writer of the letter also reepiested that if the Governor could not secure an ap? pointment as nurse for the lady that ho may "find her a gooel husband, which might do just as well, as she has a snug little homo of her own and a good farm, but that it is up-hdl business for her to try ta work it alone."

HOW HE SOLD HIS STORY. An author who had been unsuccosi. ful in getting a story accepted, though he had kept it going for three years' noticing that the manuscript was badly worn by constant transmission in the mails, forwarded it by express to tho hst available publication on bis list, valuing it at *75. He was in luck this time. The story was lost en route, and no (race of it could be found. Some time afterward a fiiend, wno knew the unfortunate history cf the story, asked: "Did you ever get that article of yours off?"' "Just sold it!-' replied thc joyful author.
