Eighth avenue was surprised and pleased the other day by a hand­ some- young woman' who- galloped along on a spirited horse and. tossed roses to the people on. the side­ walks. She was clad in regular hab­ it, and behind her-galloped a groom with a big-bouquet of-roses in his hands,’from which ho supplied her as her own stock, became exhausted. The people followed in joyful com­ motion, scrambling for the roses. . After the flowers gave out. the .woman turned and, galloping as be­ fore, began throwing out something else which, the groom supplied'her with from a hag that hung ojer Ids shoulder. Again the crowd nocked out, all expectancy-. • But the favors this time were samples of a new cigarette, throe in a pack. The young woman did not appear half so .beautiful and . romantic after that.—Now York Press.

CAPTURED THE OFFICIALS. The Neat T rick -a Parisian Woman -. Played on the Police. ’ . A Parisian woman who did not pay her rent played a neat trick on the police. She had a reputation for violence, and when, the bailiff called lie” took the precaution of bringing a police commissary with him.. The woman was wreathed in smiles*when she opened the door to the two offi­ cials, and she assisted them with, the Utmost amiability in drawing up an inventory of her furniture, with a view to an* eventual sale at public auction. When the business was completed she conducted the bailiff and the police officer to the door, hut the latter was locked. . “ Gentlemen,” the woman remark­ ed, with an amiable smile, “you are my prisoners., You have been bo courteous and considerate that I should bo loath to lose your com­ pany. Therefore, I have locked the front door and thrown the key out of the window. This ilaLjfcon the fourth floor. The door -|Pau ex­ ceptionally strong one, and your joint efforts would be powerless to force it open. The next door flat and that on the floor beneath are both unoccupied. Consequently it would he idle to expect assistance from any one in the house. The onljr thing for you to do is to halloa out of the window down into the street and make yourselves a laugh­ ingstock.” The woman then sat down complacently and waited. The bailiff and the police officer, convinced that she had a key of the front door somewhere in her posses­ sion, Reasoned with her for a long time, but in vain. Some four hours of captivity elapsed before they could make up their minds to shout and gesticulate at the window. When they did so a crowd rapidly collect­ ed in the street. Every one thought a crime had been committed. Peo­ ple who knew were already relating with circumstantial detail's how an elderly woman had been •murdered in the fourth floor flat. Policemen arrived and, striding through the crowd, boldly walked upstairs, where with the, aid of a locksmith they opened the door and found^ them­ selves face to face with their own chief. The .latter, with the bailiff, made off in a cab as hurriedly and as inconspicuously as he couldman­ age it. , * The Profiteer* “And now, madam,” said the pro­ fessor, “having>seen you safely aboard your train I can only wish you a.pleasant journey—but don’t let anybody step on it.” "On what, professor?” she asked. “ Your train* madam,” rejoined, the professor, gallantly lifting his hat ns the cars began to move.-L-Ohicago 'Tribune. ■* ; « 1~H«r comment* Miss Vera Plane—I always en­ deavor. to be very distant to Mr* Neersife, and je t lio is infatuated with me.

The Butler case still continues to he the talk o f the town. Mr* G. L. Butler, the father of the little boy, say: “The doctor snid. my buy bad ’dis­ ease of the spinal chord, and treated him for two months, during which he got worse all the lime. Finally the doctor told me he did not know what was the trouble. The boy would wake up during the night and eay that he was: dying. He would be nervous ^and trembling and would waht to run from the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. After we had tried everything else, ■I read an advertisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a cure for Nervous Troubles. I purchased some and used them until he had taken al­ together eight boxes, when he was sound and w ell. with not a single symptom of the old trouble, This was some months ago, ,and I feel sure that he is nemently cured.
