On last Friday night, just as we were about going to sleep, we heard strange sound, which, at first led us to believe that the cats were fighting and were having an unusually severe combat, The noise seemed to have ceased for a moment, for we dreamed that we were seated near a well-remembered pond, Bhooting bull frogs their croaking growing louder and more melodious, until finally we were wide awake and became aware that some half dozen of the boys, we will not mention the girls were out serenading, and at that moment were making the air melodious with "Good Bye My Lover, flopd Bye." the music was excellent, but perhaps jt have been better ap iireciated at an earlier, hour in the evening. store in the Bowen building.

There are several Chinese mangling establishments in the place where the bias-eyed sons of soap 's convert min iature button-holes into coal scuttle pro portions and swell their peripheries to such dimensions that the citizens are compelled to toss up a cent before de ciding which hole to crawl through when they wish to dress up. One of the local Wun Lungs recently imported a banjo- featured assistant from the Flowerv kingdom, In pure Chinese his name sounds like a section of barbed-wire ence. His clothes fit him like a centry box and, as is usual with the delegate Ratland, he wears his overalls under his shirt and dresses otherwise inside out. He evidently haden't been in the coun try more than a day or so when some body put salt on his pig-tail, trapped him and sent him to Passaic. While the boss was around the corner purchas ing an onion for dinner Yum Yum stood in the door of the soapery, flirting with a bonnet which somebody across the street had placed on tob of a water pitcher, and which Yum imagined to be a female sitting by the window.

As the head nodded in the breeze Yum bowed and then the corners ol his mouth shook hands with his ears and sauntered around to where bis hsir was cut so very loner. "D'yez want any ice this morning?" asked the irrepresible ice man as drove up. "Alle same," chuckled Yum until he resembled a chicken with a severe case of pip. The man placed the ice on the sidewalk and Yum grabbed it. Then he laid it down without anyone telling him to and put both hands up to his mouth and danced, "Ki Yi, muche wetty hotte," he said and he ran inside, came out with a shirt wrapped the ice in it and disappeared inside.

Two minutes later the room was ful of smoke and hissing steam, and when Wun Lung came around the corner with his noonday feast in his hand there was a crowd in front of the door and severa persons had started off to notify the firemen. Wun Lung dashed through the smoke and found his fresh Assistant hanging out of the back window. He was nearly suffocated. Wase mattel?" he asked, "Man leayee Melical fly-claikle. He goofi rboong!" "Whelle putte?" asked Wun, "Stovee." "Alle samee blank foolee," yelled Wun Lung.

"Allee wettee. Tuttee in stoyee to dli. Thing goee allee offee hjoome bangee." There was danger of a conflagration for a few nj-inutes, but it was averted and as Yum took the next train for the city he said: "Funny fly-clackel; cookee alle uppee -rboong! All wtee. Yum dice. Stove wetee boong!" He hid himself in his pockets and left for New York.

A Houston (Tex.) correspondent tells the following story of Ben Thompson, the Texas desperado, recently killed at San Antonio When Ben was city marshal of Austin an advertising agent was seen by him painting an advertisement of some patent medicine on the outside of a corner grocery. Ben having been informed that the man had not first obtained the owner's consent ordered him to erase it immediately.

The painter protested that he had permission to paint the sign, but Ben was not to be trifled with. Drawing forth his "six" he thundered, "Five minutes to take itoff." And it was off before five minutes had expired. 1 About the time the painter finished erasing his work the owner of the store appeared, and, seeing the situation of things, informed Thompson that the advertiser had obtained his consent to paint the sign. Thompson apologized to the man of paint and told him he might repaint the sign. The fellow said he believed he didn't care to.

Again came forth Ben's deadly weapon as he said "Five minutes to put it up again." And he it up. Opposite the Depot. Mrs. S. A.
