STORIES OF THE DAY.
The Touch of Nature That Makes the
Whole World Kin.
Two or three ladies were sitting on
the steps of a Walnut Hills home on one
of the warm days recently. A little
2-year-old tot was running and cooing
about the sidewalk in company with
two or three older children. The first
balmy sunshine of spring was being
thoroughly enjoyed by the whole party.
A truly representative specimen of the
genus tramp came ambling wearily
down the street. He halted when he
reached the spot where the children
were playing and looked curiously, if
not fondly, at the 2-year-old fairy. He
was a reader of human nature, if he was
a tramp, and it needed only a glance to
assure him which of the ladies on the
step was the mother of the wee one.
“Ma’am,” he said, doffing his tattered
cap and addressing the mother, “I am a
tramp now, but it was not always so. 1
have seen better days—have seen the
time when I lived decently in my own
home surrounded by children as precious
to me as this little darling is to you.
Reverses' cam* to me, my little ones
were taken to a charitable institution,
and in despair and desperation I went
on the road. I was just thinking as I
came down the street how much better
I would fool if I could kiss that little
one—just on the cheek, ma’am, just on
the cheek. ’ ’
He added the latter hastily and in an
apologetic tone.
The ladies looked at each other, smiled
and then seemed sorry for it.
“You may kiss her on the cheek, ” the
mother said finally.
Bending his rough face down over the
flaxen curls of the baby, who, strange
to say, was not at all alarmed, he im
printed a fervent kiss on her round, pink
cheek. Then he slowly walked on down
the street without again looking at the
ladies.
But they watched him in the distance,
and they saw his hand go up to his eyes
a number of times, and when he had
got so far away that he thought he was
no longer observed he stood and looked
long and intently at the little blue eyed
baby who was still cooing and crowing
on the pavement.
Then the tramp passed oil out of their
sight and minds.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Chandler and Hill.
A senator must be pretty expert to
run a lance against Senator Chandler
without himself being unhorsed and dis
armed. Senator Hill tried it the othei
day with disastrous results.
Senator Chandler entered the debate
on the resolution appointing Mr. B. R.
Green to the superintendency of the Con
gressional library, which Mr. Hill was
opposing. Mr. Hill did not relish Mr.
Chandlor’s appearance, and rather sneer
ingly said that on Wednesday the New
Hampshire senator had secured some
legislation on the plea that he was go
ing away. “But the senator has not
gone, ” complained Mr. Hill. “He still
remains and talks. ’ ’
Senator Chandler was not in the least
disconcerted. It was true, he said, that
he was going away, but the day was
.not yet over. “Audi cannot forget, ”
ho added, addressing Mr. Hill, “that
the senator made a contract with his
constituents by which he agreed to be
come a United States senator from New
York, and, notwithstanding that fact,
he remained as the governor of New
York for a year and did not come to
Washington to represent his constitu
ents. ”
Mr. Chandler remarked, amid much
laughter, that he was really glad Mr.
Hill finally come to Washington, “for,”
said he, “he has afforded us much
amusement, and, on the whole, has
benefited the publio service.”—Pitts
burg Dispatch.
What They Wear In London.
The exceedingly mild winter and cor
respondingly early spring have caused an
unusually prompt display in Loudon of
the season’s fashions both for men and
women’s wear, and the loading tailors
have been displaying their wares for
some time past. There is little change
in styles from last autumn. The double
breasted frock coat is still de rigueur for
semidress occasions. It is made as for
merly of rough material either iu black
or dark gray. The only difference is in
the length of the skirt, which is a trifle
shorter than before.
Tho trousers, which are shown iu in
finite variety of dark colors, are made
somewhat narrower and have the least
suspicion of a spring at the bottom. For
morning coats the single breasted cut
away still holds its own. These are
made somewhat longer than before, and
all varieties of material are used. Some
of tho fashionable tailors urge a diagonal
cheviot upon their customers. This ma
terial is either of three colors, black,
brown or gray. The sack coat is made
somewhat more closo fitting than before,
is a trifle longer than last season and
has a straight back with side splits.
The leading haberdashers have also
long displayed their stocks. Of neckwear
the pluin and made scarfs are generally
seen in more subdued colors than a year
ago. The straight collar is again to the
fore and a trifle d<leper.
The St. James Gazette recently pub
lished an elaborate article on men’s fash
ions, which is supposed to have been
written by a well known dandy after he
had consulted the Prince of Wales’ and
the Duke of York’s tailors. The writer
predicts that single breasted frock coats
und cutaway coats made to be worn open
with silk facings on will be the startling
innovations of 1896.
Strangely Shot at a Fire.
George Austin of Kingman county,
Kan., met death in a peculiar accident.
He had rushed to the home of his neigh
bor, David Stolil, which was on fire, to
assist in saving the household effects.
The heat was too intense to enter, and
as Austin stood looking at the burning
building a double barreled shotgun
hanging on a rack in the house was dis
charged by the heat, the contents of both
barrels entering his head and body.—
