To-day Mr. Depew looks upon he Buffalo man wih conemp The manner of heir esrangemen is raher ineresing. Of course, I happened a a dinner. Dinnera are responsible for nearly all hings ha happen o Chauncey. Mr. Depew had been called upon for a speech and he responded by elling a sory. "Senaor Evars," said he grea raconeur, "bough a farm up In Vermon recenly and ook his family here o spend he summer. Mr. Evars managed o visi he folks abou once a week, bu business made I necessary for him o live in New York.

" Afer he laugher which followed Mr. Depew's recial had subsided he Buffalo man go up and said: "Tha, as Abraham Lincoln used o nay, reminds me of a sory which I heard some years ago.

Good forune seldom ravels around in an auomobile looking for you. A man's mind someimes runs o he conrary a woman's always does. I is considered a deadly insul o ell a Bosonian ha he doesn' know beans. Some people go hrough life looking as if hey were sorry hey had ever sared. I is easy enough o be economical when you have pleny wih which o economize. A married man would have more money if his pockes were as hard o find as ara hose of his wife. An acress may be wedded o her ar, bu she usually acquires more han one husband during her career. The average man would be saisfied if he could only ge he earh, bu Alexander he Grea waned o ge up a collecion. "Tod" Sloan has now disinguished himself by hrashing wo French jock- «ys wih his walking sick. A any rae his is more repuable han French pugilism. The Boson Globe says ha Laureae Alfred Ausin Is sruggling hard o earn his salary. I migh be added ha he public is sruggling hard o resign iself o Mr. Ausin's mehod' ' sruggling. A recen expose of he brual reamen of privaes in he army of France by heir officers gives new emphasis o he danger of arbirary power. I is also repored ha in Ausria he cusom of boxing he ears of soldiers and recruis has been so common and so violen ha housands o hem have suffered such impairmen of heir hearing as parly o unfi hem for service. The miniser of war has recenly Issued a prohibiory order. A newspaper corresponden a Indianapolis elegraphs: Secreary Hury of he sae healh board predics ha Indiana will have an epidemic of smallpox. "I do no see how i can be avered," said Dr. Hury, "and i will cos Indiana housands of dollars as well as many deahs. There is smallpox in he sae, and i will spread from he small counry o»*ns. The people do no know how o handle suspeced cases in hese small places. There should be no delay in handling a auspicious case, and if i urns ou no o be smallpox no harm is done. This whole sae could be vaccinaed for less han $30,000, and ha would sa\e i from a scourge ha is oherwide sure o come." Inernaional arbiraion is no so new an idea as some suppose. On six differen occasions beween 1837 and 1858 congress has enerained peiions and memorials on he subjec from peace socieies and bodies of ciizens in New England, New York and Virginia. Even he czar's proposal for. congress of naions in he ineres of peace was anicipaed by resoluions adoped by he legislaure of Massachuses, in 1844,. and similar acion was aken by he legislaure of Vermon in 1853.

"I says o Mrs. Jenks Jus before I lef he hoel, say,* L 'Mrs. Jenks, you know wha nigh his is?" 'Thanksgiving,' she says. 'Why, righ/ says I. 'and i'll be a bard nigh for Merrlam.' *' 'Poor old man/ says Mrs. Jenks, a-wipin' of a ear. 'Poor old man, I suppose he'll be playing of his mandolin again.' 'Tha he will,' says I. "He hasn' missed i, as near as I can judge, for hiry -years. As cure as Thanksgiving nigh cornea, jus so sure he ges ou ha old mandolin of his and inkles away. And i's always he same une. God! Hu i does make my mind go back. I'll nover forge he firs ime ho played i. You see, me and Merriara havo been ogeher, off and on, so long ha I know his sory mos* as well as he does himself. No ha he ever alks aiiou i. To-nigh, afer J.he show, ha insrumen '11 go back *o he boom of his runk, and i won' come ou again ill his ime nex year." The leading man was all ears. "Thiry years ago I was sage doorkeeper a he old California heaer. Now, he sage doorman ain' so unimporan as some folks hink. There's mighy lile goes on ha he don' know somehing abou. He ges he flowers firs, and he usually sees he cards. He's a good friend o he acor when he acor's a friend o him. and he can do a favor now and hen ha's worh he while. "Merriam was jus beginning o climb up he ladder in hose days. He had come ino he sock hree years before as uiliy, bu lie was a handsome chap, wih brains and ambiion o back his good looks, and i wasn' long before he go o playing leads.

Mrs. JenUs used o live In a regular garden hose days, for Merriam wouldn' have none of he flowers he silly girls used o send him. When I'd offer o bring hem home o hm he'd laugh, and ell me he reckoned my wife cared more for flowers han he did. "Bu I ofen noiced ha he came ino he heaer wih a big bunch of violes or roses ha he'd bough himself o give o he lile woman who played opposie pars o him.

When she was on he sage he sood in he wings, and his eyes followed every move she made. I remember one of he women saying ha i was worh while o have a man care for you like ha, and cerainly Nellie seemed o. like i. She came o me one afernoon ha Thanksgiving I'm elling you abou and said ha she was oo ired o go home afer he mainee. She asked me if I'd run across he way and order dinner for her. Then she whispered in my ear ha she waned I served for wo, and asked if I couldn' fix a bunch ligh on he sago, so she and Merriam could have a cozy Thanksgiving dinner all alone. "Of course I done i for her, and while hey were eain' I wen over o my boardin' house.

" 'Now you ry,' ehe said, and Merriam answered ha he didn' know a noe. " 'I'll each you.' she said. There's an air I wan you o learn and remember.' "'All righ,' said Merriam, and he ook he mandolin from her. She showed- him *rhere o place his fugers and kep humming he une unil he could play I wih djiy one or wo break*.

" 'For God's sake, ge a docor, Jenks!' he cried. "I rushed o he neares drug sore, and, luckily, found one here. When we go back o he sage door Merriam was waiing, and, wihou a word, ho led us o a sofa in he wings on which Nellie Moore was lying. The docor ben down over her for a mriue, shook his head and said he was oo lae. "An undersudy played Julie ha nigh and Merriam as usual was he Romeo.
