It is expected that when you travel you will meet very distinguished people. Rich bankers, authors, noted artists, but you don't. An Atchison woman who works downtown has just returned from a trip.

She scys that on the Pullmans and in the hotels she would get to talking to women, and while she had not meant to tell she was a working woman, some way it slipped out and she always found out that instead of talking to a banker's daughter she was talking to a stenographer or a bookkeeper. She met a bride and groom. The bride had handsome clothes and the groom was well dressed. She thought, "Here are people who have lived in the lap of luxury," but upon becoming acquainted it was the same old story. The bride as a stenographer in the office where the groom was a bookkeeper, and they had only one week off.

His Politeness. Matt W. Ransom, late senator from North Carolina, made politeness a point of conscience. One day he saw the very worst bore of his acquaintance, and with a short "Howdy do?" brushed swiftly past. The bore, evidently hurt, proceeded sadly.

Ransom's conscience Emote him. After ten steps he turned back, and, with a pleasant smile, called back: "Qoodby, Simpkinsl I've been thinking a mighty heap about you lately, Simpkina." The bore's face relaxed. "Ah 6aid he, returning. Ransom waved him back wildly with both hands, crying, "I've been thinking a mighty heap about you lately, Simpkine; but don't come back, Simpkins; don't come back!" Washington Tost. Made Her Feel at Home.

A visiting woman went to dinner with a man and his wife to one of the men's clubs, and as they sat at a table waiting to be served she sighed. Her hostess looked surprised, and the guest with a melancholy inflection explained: "I am always so unhappy when I go to a man's club. No wonder a men gets dissatisfied with his home. His wife may plead and threaten, but she can't possibly compete with the service of such a place as this." Just at this moment the soft footed waiter gracefully tipped a plato cf soup in her lap. "Thank you," she said to him gratefully.

Selling Shoes According to Hoyle. There is an enterprising dealer in men's shoes in Boston who, at or.e time, was accustomed to display sticking out of each pair of shoes in his window three new $1 bills. The accompanying announcement used to read something like this: "Three of a kind beat two pair." On one occasion a bright young man undertork to get the better of the dealer. Entering the store, Le said to the proprietor, "You sell shoes according to the rules of poker, I "Yes," was the rep! v. "I wear size Xo.

Some faint idea of the bulk of the English records may be obtained by adverting to the fact that a single statute, the land tax commissioners' act, passed in the first year of the reign of George measures, when unrolled, upward of POO feet.

A kind of court surrounded him; his com- panions, always in their Hungarian national dress, maintained in a ceremonious way his pretension of his rtill being the rightful governor of Ilungary. He granted audiences like a prince, and when he entered the room he was announced by an aid-de-camp as the "governor." All persons rose and Kossuth saluted them with grave solemnity. Among the exiles of other nations these undemocratic formalities created no little displeasure. But it was Kossuth's intention to produce certain eiToets upon public opinion, not in his own, but in his feople's behalf, and as to that end may have seemed to him necessary to impress upon the imagination of the Englishmen the picture cf riungary under her own governor, and also to illustrate to them the f.rm faith of the Hungarians themselves in the justice of their cause, it was not improper that he Ehould have used such picturesque disrdavs as means for the aceom- T-Il-hi of his purpose.

In the evening the band musicians in town were called together for a general ratification and Hardwick's next representative was serenaded at his residence on Cherry street where a good many of his friends called to congratulate him. Mr. Pierce again thanked the voters and served cigars to them. He also displayed something, he said he felt prouder over than the election, a baby boy which came to his home a few weeks ago. r.
