Lewiston. Me.. di<?r?toh to th? Philadelphia Times.
Further Investigation ot the stiange death ot
Lafayette Cook, of Auburn, emphasize the remarkable
tent urea of the case. Coroner Brooks
has made a careful examination and finds the
medical facts to be as first stated. He found the
body lyinj as Cook had laid himself out. andthe
most life like corp?e he had ever examined
Death was snown to have been from natural
Ca::^.'*. and ye: there was no disease. Mr. Clark
and Mr. Cates, who watched with Cook Sunday !
nitf.it. say t ie only movement they saw was the
slig! r expansion of the chest occasionally. The
death flutter was noticed at five minutes before
cl-i,r a.m. Monday. Of the genuineness
of t..e old man's prophecy there is abundant
pr- i :. Mr. 1>. X ( hesley. of Auburn, is a brother
of ...e recently deceased daughter-in-law of
Conk. Mr. Chesley was standing in the mayor's
Office in Aui.unf Tuesday morning. when some
One remarked the peculiar r anner of Lafayette
CO'... - death. Mr Chesley had not heard of it.
"4 ?K?k dead? exclaimed he. 4*Ther?? Is something
sinLruiar ab .ut that. Me had been navin?
for two weeks that he was g-.in.: to die Monday '
ino; >?:n<r. Two weeks ago lie went into a trance '
nnd\ :,dettie announcement. Mv sister's child
came over to our house last week*and said tiiat '
her g-.andtather was getting ready to die and
that he \\ a- g"iiig to die Monday morning."

thed. Among the most sincere mourners
Wa- her f?ther-:n-law. He accompanied her remain
t<? t'pe grave and expressed the tenderest ;
sollt tude toward his grandchildren. It was
Ju-l alter tiie death of Mrs. Cook that Cook
mad" iiis urst statement in rcirnrd to his comin"
dissolution. It was ten o'clock in the morning. |
A gr ndchild ra:ne running into the house with '
the story that a partridge had come into the '
Sheil and couldn't get out. Mr. Chesley says !
that Cook manifested great concern. " The i
little ?nrl says i.er grandfather ' turned i
pale and was afraid." At first he delaved '
goinir into the sited. Tiie partrid ge ruf- j
fled up Its feathers at the children and !
at hverett Cook. The latter went Into the !
house after a _-un. Upon that the old gentleman
came out into the shed. Ue didn't want i
the b.rd shot, Hie singular part of the storv :
that Mr. Cheslev vouches for. Is that the moment
ook appeared the whole behavior of the 1
bird changed. The partridge flew at Mr. Cook
and wheeled arennd In a circle about his feet.
She flew to his shoulders, peeked at his face ami
J ed on his hands. The bird was placed on
the floor, and repeated the operation. Finally,
it was given to one oi the children and placed in
an apple tree; It flew hack. The bird stayed
halt an hour, all the time showing the utmost
affection toward Cook, purring mid piping in
partridge fashion. When it left it flew in a
direct course tow ard the burylng-ground where
Mrs. Cook w as buried. The effect of the bird's
visit was very great upon Cook. He returned I
to the house and went Into a trance, which
lasted two hours. When he recovered he made
the statement that he should die. He talked
freely ol it. Thereafter he said that the first 1
warning was the visit of the bird. He was a I
man w ho had unlimited faith hi such omens. He
frequently had w hat he called trances, and was
quite a believer in spiritualism.
Cause and Cure off ISaldness,
Says the Bo.-.ton Medical Journal: O. Lassar
has continued his observation on the nature of j
perematnrebaldness, and has further convinced
himself of the comraunicability of at lea.-t the
form associated with dandruff. When the hairs
Which fa!l off in such cases are collected, rubbed
lip with vaseline, and the cintment so made is
tub'.ie 1 among the fur of rabbits or white mice,
baldness rapidly makes Itself visible on the parts
so treated. That this is not due to the vaseline
was -hown by anointing other animals with the
va.~; iine alone, w hich produced no effect whatever.
He considers tnat the disease is spread
by hairdressers, who employ combs and bru-hes
to t'leir customers, one after another, without
any regular cleaning to these articles after
each time they arensed. During frequent vi-Its

a complaint as scaly baldness. Females, he
*tii::? > s. are less often affected with this form of
baldness, liecausethe hairdresser more frequently

uses tlieir combs and brushes. In order to pre- i
vent, as far a- possible, the commencement of |
alop-c.a prematura, the hair should be cut and

and these thoroughly clean. When it h;i< begun,
the foftowin^ mode of treatment has been
suggested: The scalp is to be daily weii soaped ;
With tar or fluid glycerine potash soap, which is
to be rubbed in for fifteen minutes flrmlv. The ;
head is then to be drenched with, first.* warm
Water, and then irradualiy colder water. A two

dried, and the roots of the hair are to have a
half per cent solution of naphthol in spirit rubbed
Into them. Finallv. a pomade of one and a '
half to two per cent carbolic or salicylic oil Is
to be used on the head. This treatment has now
In many case- nrought the disease not only to a

restored.
Make Your ISukband Comfortable*
From tb?- Now York Sun. i
In a lecture in Chickering hall last night upon
"Home," Mon*ignor Capel said: ''What is
needed In the United States is attachment to
the home, and tiie work which Is to be accom- |
plisned in that direction must be effected by !
making home the pleasantest place. Sorry is
the w oman who cannot make her home so pleas- '
ant as to keep her husband away from the club.
Without cloaking the faults of the husband.it,
Is often the tu>e that the dress and good taste
?f the wife are put on not for the home, but for
tiie outside. Woman should not dress tor herself
alone, but for 1. *r husband. Everywhere in
the United States there is the adoration of comfort.
The club is made the center of comfort to
the disadvantage of the home, and it is woman's
stronghold to make home the comfortable
place. Man Is a lazy animal, and if he can be
made comfortable at home he will not co to the
club. Let there be peace, light, good air and
apple pie order in the home. Let women use
up their bad tempers when their husbands are
away."^

An Idiotic Jehu*
From the Loudon Sjorkiiuan.
Every one who has visited the City of Flowers
knows the appearance ot that ridiculous
American who may be seen any afternoon driving
a brake with fourteen horses along the
banks or the Arno. Those who did not know
that he was "Mr. Livington. the wealthy and
eccentric American," always took him for the
proprietor of a circus. One heard straige
ett ries about him. It was said his father had
left him a large Income coupled with the condition
that he was never to drive more than
nine pairs ot horses simultaneously, and that
he was heart-broken at the restriction. If this
he true the father had certainly more sense than
the son. The latter was driving ten pair this
week, when the leaders took fright andthe
whole stud ran away. I can imagine the consternation.
Though I have seen this great
American parading with his horseflesh up and
dov. n tiie river he never attained the speed of a
London omnibus. The police were always looking
at him In an aggrieved way. Thefact is he
had defied them. Over and over again he was
entreated not to make a public nuisance of his
ptud. but no law had contemplated so much
folly, and it was undignified to legislate for an
cccentric person. Now his carriage is smashed
to bits, and though he only got a few bruises I
think the Lunguruo is sale for the rest of the
Seas jo.

LIFE I!f CHICAGO.
A Barkeeper Telia a, Reporter Some of 1
?be Secrets of Ills ArU
From the Chicago Tribune.
"that'll it be, gents?"
"Gimme a gin fizz. Tommy."
"I guess you can make me up a sour.**
The foregoing conversation, which will be
reailily understood by the initiated, took place
the other evening between a well-known actor,
a theatrical manager and a gentlemanly chemist
who compounds mixed drinks in the rear of a
bar which is one of the fixtures ot a well-known
down-town resort for the bibulous. A Tribune
reporter overheard the conversation as he leaned
listlessly against the polished mahogany near
by. and as the dapper, white-aproned liquid- i
dispenser began the work ot his magic art the I
newspaper man watched him closely. First he 1
set upon the bar a large plain glass and a high I
tubular glass filled with cracked ice. Then he!
deftly run the white of an egg from its shell I
into the large glass, filled the glass half full of !
cracked ice, poured in a modicum of gin. put in
a quantity of powdered sugar and a section of
lemon and energetically bustled the mixture
about in a silver ah&ker. Then lie threw the
cracked ice from the long glass, strained the
mixture into it and filled up the glass with a
squirt of plain soda. The drink was composed
ot a body ot creamy liquid topped by about an
inch of frothy foam, and it looked very tempting.
This was a tiin fizz.
Ihen the nimble liquor artist put up another
large plain glass, filit-J a delicate oval troblet
with cracked ice, and put a prescription of;
lemon, sirup, sugar, whisky, and ice in the '
large glass. This mixture was also agitated in
the shaker. and. after the cracked ice had been
cast from tiie irohlet. it was poured into it from I
the dizzy height that was reached by the chem- I
ist's left arm. A bottle of claret was cautiously !
uncorked, and about a trill of the scarlet liquid I
was carefully slid in on top of the yellowish
mixture in the troblet. making a "pleasantlooking,
red-headed drink. That was a whisky
so nr.
The manager spun a half-dollar upon the bar,
the two said, "Well, here's a go." and the two
beakers of ' coinn-varnish" were quaffed with
sundry smacks and "oils." Change was made,
tlie two friends withdrew, and the interested
reporter turned to the artistic little barkeeper,
who was washing his glasses and mopping his
bar.
"What is the popular drink nowadays 7" he
asked.
'Gin fiz," said the artist, as he turned off part of
the gas on his glittering diamond stud. "Tiiere's
a great run on that now. and we sell hundreds of
them a day at twenty cents each. You see every
barkeeper has his own way of making gin fizzes,
and some oft hem have no egg and fill up the drink
w ith seltzer. My style is sometimes called a
silver fizz. Where the yelk of an egg Is used instead
of the white the drink is called a golden
fizz. The silver fizz is what catches 'em. though."
"Is the whisky sour a popular drink?"
"Well, our sours are very popular now. The
claret 'snap' is what hits 'cm hard. The claret
makes the drink look well and it gives it a better
taste. Men who drink our "sours expect !
claret at every bar. and when it is not nut in j
they ask for it. It's getting circulated now, !
and other places are adopting our flo.urish."
"Manhattan cocktails are in demand, too," |
said the artist. "I introduced them some time
ago, and they have become quite popular. They
are made of vermouth and gin. 1 used to keep
a bottle of it compounded and serve it out regularly."
"What is a 'blue-blazer?' "
"Well, a 'blue-blazer' is a drink made of rum
or Scotch whisky. The liquor is set on lire and
poured from one glass to another. A blue blaze
follows the stream, and there is where the
name conies from. But this drink i9 seldom
called for over a first-class bar. It is a great i
country drink, as the 'jays'think more of watching
tiie biaze than they do of the urink."
"What other drinks have you?"
"The ?rin putt" is a favorite th ink. It is composed
of Old Tom gin. sugar, cream and plain
soda. Then there i* the pousse cafe, which is a
mixture of brandy, bitters, and several cordials,
carefully poured in lavers in a "pony-brandy'
glass."
"W hat cordials are called for most?"
"Chartreuse, benedietine, maraschino and
vermouth, though I think the latter is more of
a wine than a cordial. These cordials are seldom
taken plain, but are employed as ingredients
in mixed drinks, fhe newest cordial is
abpricotine?this here. You see its color is 1
beautiful. We use it as an ingredient in a new
drink called the "mountain pink" to give color j
and flavor. Brandy and soda are used in this '
rink."
d "What are the best sobering-up drinks?"
"W ell, a cocktail or a gin fizz is a good morninir
drink. We aIao have beef tea. bicarbonate J
of soda, and quinine. Many men have quinine
in their whisky, and we give it to them without
extra charge. Oh. I tell you, 1 am a great prescription
clerk. Barkeepers nowadays have to
be regular drug clerks."
"What are the winter drinks just now?"
"Whisky toddy. Scotch stew' (which is made
of Scotch whisky), and hot spiced and buttered
rum. The butter is a great thing in this drink.
We also have many calls for the plain hot Scotch
in cold weather."
"What other mixed drinks are in demand?"
"Thechocolate cocktail is often called for. It
is made up of cordials, chocolate and the velk
of an egg. It's a stitl'euer, though, it partaken
of freely."
"What waters are most called for?"
"Vichy, bethesda and apollinaris. Hard
drinks are seldom taken now without some
water'on the side.' (ringer ale has had a great
run lately with hard liquor. It has taken the
place of California pop, which has gone out of
the market."
"Are old-fashioned cocktails popular now?"
"Very popular. You see there is only one
lump of ice used in them, and very little mixing
is done, so the liquor is not cut up as
it is in the cracked ice used in the modern cocktail."
"Is absinthe much called for?"
"Occasionally a used up man calls for a
frozen absinthe to cool his fevered stomach.
Then we drop the absinthe, and serve acid
phosphates for the stomach If they are called
for."
SEALING A Li:TTEIl.
A Fine Art*
There is a great art in sealing a letter, and
the candle, the stick of sealing wax and a
daintily engraved seal are requisites of the elegant
writing table. Quite a good suggestion
for the holiday season may be found in these accessories,
which are as" acceptable to most
women as are the elegant little appointments of
the toilet. Personal gifts that are for such
close persona! use must be chosen to suit the
user, man or woman, and not what the givers
would prefer tor his or her own. When seal,
note and candle are all ready, do not begin by
thrusting the end of the wax-stick Into the
flame and conveying it in a flaming splatter of s
wax to your envelope. Take plenty of time to e
It. First lay the seal right to your hand, so
that the impression may be square and not
wrong side up. Then hold the wax consid- J
erably above the flame of the candle, not close
enough to burn. A burnt wax makes a brittle, I
streaky seal and is hard to manage. When the >
wax has gradually softened, apply it with a clr- a
cular movement of the hand upon the note. Rub 1
it well around and down, until you have the 3
proper circle and of sufficient thickness. Then 1
do not apply the seal. The wax has cooled so
that it would not take a clear impression, and I
still there is no hurry. Take up your note again s
and hold the seal at some distance from the s
flame, yet near enough to soften. If you come I
too near you will scorch the envelope; but you I
will soon learn the proper distance, and let the }
wax slowly melt, so as not to drop. Then lay it ?
again upon the desk and apply the seal. The
result should be a clear cut impression, which
conveys to your correspondent not only your *
chosen device, but the sense that it has just
left your hands, which brings the personal
element again very pleasantly Into sealing a
letter.
Governor Butler'* Horses*
From the Lowell Courier.
In Belvidere. which is the oldest and wealthiest
locality of the city, there are many fine stables.
That of Gen. Batler comes first, no matter In
what light its Importance Is viewed. He has
nine horses. Among them is a fine pair of chestnut
maros presented by ex-Gov. Sprague, of
Rhode Island, a pair of black Knox horses, a pair
of thoroughbred blooded bays, and buggy, saddle
and phaeton horses. In his farm stable is
kept the old buckskin horse which carried the
Geueral throughout the war. No beast has a
more enjoyable existence in his old age. He has
the lree run of the grounds, goes in and comes
out when he pleases, has all he wants to eat and
absolutely nothing to do. Equine existence has
In his case ail the pleasures and none of the discomforts
of life. Gen. Butler's carriages are a
landau, landaulet, coupe, Goddard and phaeton
buggies. He has fine single and double harnesses e
In silver and brass; and his turnouts are very a
attractive. The General passes a good many t
nights at home, and usually brings a friend with b
him, and they drive from the station to his home x
in good style. v

ttie Etiquette That Rules Them-Tbe
LHtctt Tricks of Htaimer.
After I select my date, wbloh will be a Saturday
a? early in the season as possible, says a
writer on social etiquette in the New York
World. I wait until a fortnight previous, and
hen send out my cards to every ofie on my visting
list. I take ma's and my visiting card and
vrite In the lower lett hand corner, above the
iddress: "Saturday, Dec. ?. Tea at 4 o'clock."
f I find this wiil be too much bother, I have a
lew plate engraved with the words, but the
rouble about enin-aved cards for a "tea" is that
t makes it more formal, and people are consejuently
apt to expect a reception. After your
lar^ls are out. and it is just as well now to post
hem, ines'enger^ are so careless, you needn't do
i Messed thing till the day Of the "tea" arrives,
fxcept, perhaps, to invite some of your triends
:o receive with you. You must see in the morons
that the rooms are tastefully arranged, and
t is a good plan to have a few flowers in the
ra.^es on the tables. See that the table in the
lining-room is well supplied with cake and
jonbon*, and have the tea and chocolate urns
jne at each end. Have a waiter to attend to
:his table, and another one also at the door to
receive cards, etc. You must also have rooms
prepared upstairs for the ladie? a^ gentlemen
:o leave their wraps and hat- If they so desire,
iltnough the majority will enter the parlor at
jnce without so doing. You must wear a
iemi-toilet or dinmr costume, as your
mother and receiving fr ends must also do,

n your hands. Ttie guests will begin to
irrive soon after four o'clock, will greet
( our mother first, who must stand nearest the
loor. then yourself and then those of your
friends whom they may happen to know.
i.'ou need not bother yourself about iutrolucing
people to each other. It is presumed
:hat they know each other, and, if there
lappen to be a few who do not. they will
juietly slip out after a while. Of course, if

hem afterward by saying in your sweetest
ivay: "I considered you enough my friend to

imke them willing to try to entertain an entire
irmy of stupid girls at the next "tea" you give.
Don't introduce men to each other if you can
30ssibly avoid it. It is not considered good
brm. Let two of them stand talking to you on
:he same or different subjects, try to be equally
ileasant to both, but don't introduce them. I
ini sure I don't see the reason, but it is not

le goes to a "tea" to wear a black cutaway or
Prince Albert coat, and to carry his silk hat

should also do the same thing now ut

greeted you. moved around a little while, and,
lerhaps, sipped a cup of tea or chocolate and
lipped a piece of cake, they will rush away to

irrlving and departingguestsconstantly passing

The* Lonely Young nan in Cities*
From the New York Sun.
"It's the easiest thing in the world to get
narried," said the lecturer advocating matrlnony
for young men, In an up-town hall; "it's
us easy as rolling off a log, as the saying is. Minsters
tell him that it is his duty; moralists upiraid
him because he does not get a wife; philosophers
argue that the foundation of the state
s the family; friends point out to him the happy
ife of many persons. The young man has no
irotection against all this opposition, and, if he
s a right-minded person, he will not try to oppose
such logic. If he is of proper age, is maured
in his Judgment, can support a wife and
s reasonably industrious he ought to be marled
before twenty-five. But there are many
ess fortunate young men in this city who never
speak to a decent woman from one year's end to
mother. Some are engaged in shops where
inly men are employed; others in offices which
lever have a female visitor. Their homes are in
onely furnished rooms, with meals at restaurants.
These poor fellows actually pine for reined
female society. One whose loneliness has
:ome to my notice lives in Harlem."
The reporter saw this celibate, and got from
lim this story: He was living in a furnished
oom and boarding at restaurants. After two
rears of this life he began to wish for some reined
female society, and accordingly engaged
ward in a fashionable boarding-house in east
17th street. He was somewhat surprised by the
freed with which his week's board was deiianded
in advance and almost snatched out of
lis hands, but comforted himself with a glimpse
>t a golden-haired head through a half-opened
loor.
The voung man had stipulated for a fire in his
oom, but on going up at ni^ht found it as cold
is a barn. He called lor the landlady, and, after
epeated trials, succeed in gaining her attenion.
In an injured tone she promised to raise
i little fire in the room. In halt an hour or so,
luring which the young man grew warm from
nward heat, a frowzy and Blatternly servantfirl
came in with a bang, threw some kindling
vood on the hearth, lit it, put on a little coal,
ind went away, taking the coal bucket with her
le started after her to secure the bucket, but
oo late, and he heard the golden-haired beauty
lay: "What's the matter with that galloot upitalrs?"
"Oh, he wants a fire, bad luck to him."
"Well, he must be a gilly. Carry him up the
iltchen stove."
Slowly and eadlv the young man in search of
eflned female society pulled on his overcoat,
valked down to the street, hired an express
vairon, helped to put his trunk on, and quit the
louse just in time to hear the golden-haired
roung woman remark: "Well, I knew that felow
was a fraud when I first saw him."
He went to his old "furnished room." It had
jot been let. It was warm and comfortable,
md he heard the ch&rry laugh of the landlady
md her delighted remark, "I expected you
>ack, but not quite so soon." That was his
ast attempt to find refined female society. The
roung man said there were 60 such Isolated felows
in his block.
The Yonng Lady With the Pug>
from the Boston Poet.
On a car filled to repletion, the other day,
here entered a well-dressed young woman carylng
a pug dog in her arms. Several gentlenan
started to vacate their seats, but getting a
light of the pug dog settled back complacently
nto their seats again. All the passengers smiled,
he young woman looked up and down the
ength of the car. her face plainly showing her
esentment, but the gentlemen were obdurate.
They evidently felt that the line must be drawn
lomewhere, and drew it at the pug dog, reasonng
that a woman who can lug a dog around
n her arms Is well able to stand in a horse-car
md has no right to expect any exceptional
:ourtesles. Were they not right?
How Sojourner Truth Got Her Name*

How New Hm4 Are Produced.

What is the reason that of late years roses generally
seem to be ^getting larger than they used
to be?"
These and several other related questions
were asked by a Am reporter of George Wilson
an acknowledged ttuthoHty on roses.
"New roses," he replied. ;'comefrom England
and France mainly, although some are produced
in other European Countries, and a few. very
few, may claim to be American. When you see
a rose that you have pot been accustomed to
seeing It is by no meaas safe, however, to assume
that it Is an altogether new one. It may
be simply one that has 'disappeared trom public
view for a number ot years, and during that
time has been kept In existence bv some individual
grower who ha? a particular 'liking for it

It is not large, but its buds are perfectlj

long, white, beautiful buds of the Niphetos were
grown here 40 years ago, but. through some
chance, nobody seems to know exactly how tho
varietv became entirely lost, and years
elapsed before It re-appeared. When it did reappear
it was Introduced into the trade in
riance by a man named Granger. Where
ho got It is a mystery. He called it by Ts
original name, but claimed that it \*as an entirely
new rose. Old growers, however knew
^Waln?t new; 11 \s universally admired; and
now that we have learned far more than we
used to know about the cultivation of this ??ort
of roses, gardeners find it a profitable variety

"But. you ask me how new roses are made
They are grown from the seed. Pal lent men

Their French name signifies remounting, or eontlnuuig

failures over here, the great change in climatic
conditions preventing their development. Very
often they will not bloom at all here. or. if
brought to flower, the result is so bad that it
does not pay to cultivate them. But this cannot

A Tramp's Tough Story.
From the Louisville Commercial.
"I remember a wonderful case as came under
my personal observation when I wuz 4 'travelin''
in east Tennessee, I struck one of them little
mountain towns onetime when they wuz holding
county court. Every man had a bottle of mooi?
shine, and they wuz all feelin' mighty happy.
Finally they got a leetle bit too hilarious, and a
fight sprung up betwixt a great big duffer and
a leetle bit of a wiry feller. The big duffer
could 'a eat the little feller up, clothes and all,
but the first thing he done was to pull one of
these old pot?metal knives and jaD the blade
into the leetle feller's neck. It went In ri<*ht
alongside the Jugular, and then it bent kinder
around and under It. -When the big feller went
to pull it out he ripped the leetle feller's jugusq^re
int?. and you oughter seed the
blood fly. It squirted about twenty-five feet
As the leetle feller dropped everybody in the
crowd cried, 4Oh, he's a goner; his Jugular vein's
cut, and they expected to see him
croak inside of three seconds; but there
waa one of them mountain doctors there ~
and to look at him you'd think he didn't
know a Jugular vein from a trombone. 'Stand
back, said he: 'give me a chance at him '
?lb?w?dllIa way through the crowd to
w here the leetle feller lay breathin' his last. He
pulled out of his pocket somethln' as looked
ir ^^Ii00^ed Uai<ain' needle, and then he fished
around In the wound until he caught hold ot
botnendsof thelugular vein and pulled 'em
out. Then he tied the ends tight with a piece
of thread to keep the Wood from squirtin' out
until an old feller in the crowd whittled down
an old pipe-stem to make it fit in the Jugular.
V? hen it was shaped down small enough the
old doctor inserted the pipe-stem and tied the
?.f the vfln tight arobndit. In less than
two minutes that little feller was on his feet
and looking around for the teller that cut him."
'lou mean to say he recovered:-'"
'Course he did, and you'll find the case recorded
in the medical works. Only case of the
kind ever beard of in America."
"And the pipe-stem never bothered him?"

the kind he had been utted to handlin', and it

Josie Mansfield Married lit Europe.
The Cincinnati Inquirer quotes a well-known
actress now in that city as saying: "Afterlilk
was killed and Stokes was sent to prison Josie
Mansfield went to Europe. There she attracted
the attention of a rich lacemaker, who
married her. A couple of years ago I
was over in France, and one day while
walking through the gardens of St. Cloud
who should I encounter but Josie, leaning on
the arm of her husband. He was a stout, portlv
man. much the build of Flat, and looked to me
like a Russian rather than a Frenchman. Josie
was elegantly and most richly dressed, but
in plain black and laces. She had irrown
thinner, had lost the flesh that for awhile made
her look gross and sensual, and was radiantly
beautiful. Her husband is enormously wealthy.
I am told, and is devoted to her."
A passenger on the Auburn railroad offered
the conductor a trade dollar for fare. The conductor
examined It and remarked: "I don't
want that piece of money." "Well, give It to
the company^then," replied the passenger.
