And ao with ua all, great artiits as ao every day woiuuu, wo travel upon our generally, but when we wish to be comfortable--so comfortable--wo rolar, put on a larger slipper, no oaslur let down our back hair, and for a brief period enjoy the luxury of being as largo as wti really are, Perhaps sooio day way off: in that lovely time- known RB "sometime" it wilt be the style to appear jaU us natural and sizable ad naturu has made us. and when that nnd baantifal "somas time" comes it will be the millennium all fromqa will rcjolco, for sfcoy wlll'have tho unspeakable luxury of cling about feuliua iiko human beiugs, with lungs and other physiological belong- lugs rather than craaturee of whalobcinc, steel, hooks and tape. The girl of nervo nai found a way which nhe declares is moateiUcaciotiB for aocurlng A soat in a horae car. 1 had heard of the little plan which aho is said to work, but it was reserved for me to BOO It only yesterday.

It was in a Broadway car aud the men seated along ouciisido of it wore evidently gentlemen, for they were well dressed and whut I am about to tell will show that they vroro of sensitive tempernt menu The car was full. Thure was not a beet to Bparo when, at iho next crossing a young woman entered. She was a slim girl, rather tmlo. but, liko hor own teoth, and white, yet with plenty of nerve. An fine boarded the car and camo in sho I a need and down tho two rows of men.

one noticed her. All tho faces wore a atolld, preoccupied look, and thoae of tha men who had papers or note books handy began to study Nob a man budged from his place. And now. what do you think that girl did? Walking slowly along the car, sho looked carefully at the faces of tho men until abe selected her victim. Taking up her stand in front of him, she grasped the strap by hitching her umbrella handle ia it, and then, loaning slightly forward, gazed Intently at tbo man's feet.

Ha etooa the scrutiny for a moment, than ho looked down to ace if chore was any-. thing unusual about his boots, but no, they were nicely blackod and in as good trim as a new "shine" could malca them. IIo looked up again at the girl. Sho waa still staring bard at his feet. There must be something wrong.

Uneasily he hitched about a little in the seat, croasad one leg A TVAT.K HJ THE EARLY MORNING. over another, and tried to look sideways out tho window. But the scheme wouldn't work, for there In front, of him stood that small bit of a girl staring with two wide open eyes directly down at that pair of booia. Again he moved, this limn TecrosBin? his ICRH nnd aolectintf a now position where he hoped that hia feot would appear leas prominent and conspicuous. But no, iney were looming up as across! TO ns and there in froric of tham stood to mito of a Kirl absorbed in fttudyine tnom.

CARRIE CARELESS. Koinance of an Old Coin, Atlanta Constitution. Judge J. D. Hammock of Crawtordsville, owner of a $5 ffold piece which has a peculiar and touching history.

It was made of Carolina cold, and as it bears no date it Is impossible to tell in what year it was made. Bub other circumstancas connected with its history lead us to be-. lieve that ft baa been more than 100 years since it waa coined. This coin is what is known as an Boohtler Carolina gold coin." On oue aide it bears tho name of "Rutherford." The faco of this coin shown no evidence as to what portion of Carolina It wan made in. Forty yeara ago an old negro woman was sold aa a slave in South Carolina and brought to this section of Georsia.

the day arrived for her trom her native land and all those whom she'loved hor soue gave her this $5 Carolina gold piece as a token of his faithful devotion. After she was brouicht to Georgia she served very a i until the close of the late civi I war. Then her freedom was given. By thia time old age had steadily crept on. All those years sho kept this pieco of money as a remembrance of the days.

It matters not how deplaned sho became ia money matters she would never suffer it to bo used. Some yoars before her death she decided that this money ohould bo used for tbe purpose of paying for her collla. About three years ago tho death moss ago came and hor friends carried out; her lust wishes by usinK this money to purchase the coffin--which was bouffht of Judge 1 J. D. Haramaefc.

This is how he came in possession of this curious piece of money, and we doubt if there is another coin like it in United States. A. Buchtler. bad a permit, from the United States government shortly after tho revolutionary wr to com thia Carolina gold. A Wiso Spaniel Pup.

A. writer in tho Boston Post was recently In tho stable yard belonging to a friend who hnd a considerable collection of dotja, among which are a fierce terrier and a npaniel of tender age.

AlthoiiKti tho volumo of botting about tho Ijrooklya handicap this winter lias loas than uver before, now thu irroat event is approacliinK. interust iu it IB growing universal, not alouo among horsemen, but tho liuuuroda tbou- oauds to whom racing Is a pastime and the highiMJb form of sport. The 'Brooklyn handicap practically opuus tbo eo-callud ltgitlmato racing season in the stato of Xuw York. In it aro engaged the cream of tho horses in training both iu tho and in tha woat. and, as'thu guar-teed vuluct of tho stake is ia is certainly worth a trainer's while to noud his horse to the post fit to for a man's life.

When wore flrst opened about the Brooklyn be was quoted at 5 to 1 and even now when his chance of star tin a is almost hopeless he la quoted at Stol. On his performances last year Tonny undoubtedly deserves this favor, for, barring Salvator, he was undoubtedly the grentwt race horse of the sensational xeasou of 1890, One of the loading English sporting papers some few years ago gathered tho opinions of tho lending horse nrs and jockeys of tho united islu HU to which was the raco horso In England for tbe decade.

The majority favored Ormonde, Now Ormonde never was the horse thut Isonomy was, and yot Parole, tho American, defeated him handily. Parole was not within Gfteen pounds of Iroquois, the flrst American winner of tbe derby in England. Yot Eolo beat Iroquois handily on ais return from England, and Hindoo, the greatest ot the 3-year-olds, prior to 189J always had Eolo at nls mercy. I have seen all of tbe performances of the great of this country, from Kentucky down (and bo it remembered that Mr. John Hunter still insists that Kentucky never had a superior oa the turf ac any distance).

I was ono of tha many who months has made a new homo of him. He has not yet been really "pressed," as trainers put ir, but be has been reeling mlleiiu in such manner that if ha was asked to go a milo la 1:41 on any mo.rnlnn ho could. do ao without any particular distress. That be can star the extra quarter gou without saying, for ing bas nlwaya beeu his forte. lie iu in tbe bauds of people, who race for the sport of tho thin? aa much as for tbe prospective gains, and people who fancy a teood horse, in vooil ah ape, owned by a good sta- ble, need have no hesitation in backlog Burlington on tho day of tbo raw--Friday, May 15.

I have no heiUatlou in aayiuu that I think tbo best raco last yaar, that is to say, tho hardest and inost gallantly won in fast time, was that won by Tea Tray on tha day of the Brighton Beach meeting, Aug. 29.

Tea Tray had come back from Monmouth Park, where he bad beaten Firenzi and all the othor cracks, and Mr. Likeland had put him in what he considered would be au oaay raco for him.

But Mr. Lakeland and his foreman wore out two of them before Tea Tray Kava in. Then like a subdued elephant hu submitted, uud uow for two weeks bu haa uever showed any slgus of rebellion.

Now in the handicap Tea Tray has by nil odds tbe bust of the weights ua compared with Burlington, Tba in black" ia asked 10 concede him two and four pounda, and I do not think that ho it capable of doing iC If Tea Tray keeps on doing tbo way he haa baen doing, I shall not look Lwyoud him for tht wiuuvr of Brooklyn aandicap.

HlHPOHlUPKE. Matched Pennies for a Brido. Dos Moinea Leader. A wedding ia unoouucoJ for thia apring between two well-known young people of Dea Moiiios. There is au interesting story connected with the event, and it would ba unfair to call names.

years ago thelprospective bride, then quite wan recclvius the attention of three gontlomon. They, too, ware young, little moro than boys, and jusc entering upon tho different lines of work which they had adopted for life. Two of them, indeed, were still students. Matters ran along without much chanza with the four for somo time. They each, undorstood the situation.

in the girl's manner indicated any proforonce. Tho throe boya wero tho best friends, although the situation was such as to strain their relations a little. Finally the three mut oue day by accident. In somo way the young lady's name was brought uftor consideration It was decided to match pennies to sea who ahould withdraw from tho content. It wag stipulated that the winner ahould bo iu honor bound tc devote- himself exclusively to tho younc lady iu tho future, nnd to win her-hand if'posBiblo.

Tho losuru from that moment wero to withdraw from tho race completely. The IOSQFB wero further pledged to act as guardian brothers to the young lady and HCQ that the winner carried on no flirtations with othor Klria. The contracts wore carried out to tha letter; and the never told why two of her admirers so sudden ly re-tired. And, ao aftor those yeuro, sho is at laat to become tho wifo of him whom luck favor id in H. game of chance.

Both aro still youujj and tho gentlomon ia prospering iu JIM business. Of tbo losers in tho contest, ono adopted a trade and Is married.

TOP cry of tho west IB, "give us internal improvements" that will lead up to those possibilities. The west considers the east too conservative, and hence the great interstate and territorial conventions and coa- sro-ses to emphaslr.o those qneations bsfora the notional makers. Irrigation, the reclaiming of the arid lands, improrementa of t.h« Columbia and otber rivers, the oullding of harbors on tba gulf and Pacific coast, the free coinage of silver, are all great questions that, agitato the west.

Since tbeu have sprang up gnat sliver conventions, deep harbor conventions and commercial congresses. The west and south claim that the eastern influence in national affairs ia unfair in its treatment of these two sections.
