Mr. Henderson’s Mania. BV HAWKKYF. HDIIDJCTTK. Mr. Ellis Henilerson, one of our best young men, went out walking I with two of the sweetest girls in j Burlington. They were nice girls besuiiful, accomplished and modest. And Mr. Henderson was a nice voting man, too. He wore that evening a little straw hat with a navy blue band, a cutaway coat, a pmf of light 1 wide pautloons, a white vest, n hut ! ton hole boqnet, anil J 5 cents. 'lke 1 evening was very warm, and as they walked, these young people talked - about the base-ball match, the wenth er, and sunstrokes. Bvsaiidby one , of the young ladies gave a delicate little shriek. •00-oo ! What a funny sign !’ ‘Wliere? Where? Which one, Kl frida ?’ asked the other young lady eageilv. lla—yes,’ said Mr. Henderson, 1 m troubled tones, looking gently but I resolil'ely at the wrong side ot (he ! street. ! ‘ l'liert !’ exclaimed Elfrid i, art J lessly pointing as she spoke. ‘How funny it is soelled; see, Ethel.'’ 'Why, said Ethel, ‘it is spelled ! correctly, isn't it, Mr. Henderson?’ ‘Ha—why—aw—win, yes, yes, ti lie sure,’ sml Mr. Henderson, very j huskily, staring‘ns hard as he could j at the window full of house plant. ‘Why, Mr. Henderson,’said El ! frida, in tones of amazeineut, ‘luev 'call viol say so? Just see. ‘i c-e, ice ! c-r-dmible. e-m. cream;. tlnuV not the way to spi 11 cream ; lliut’s not i the way to spell el earn.’ ! ‘Oh, Efi ids,’ ci ied her comp anion you must lie near-sighted. That isn’t an e. is i<. Mr. Henderson ?’ And Mr Henderson, who was | praying harder than lie ever prayed In fi.re that an eai thipiake might j erne along an I swallow no edher j tiimse'f i l' all the ioe rri am saloons ill the United States, be didn't much can- id j ’• looked up at ti e cliini nei i, 1 *V h mse and said: ‘That? Oil, yes, ves; -f course, j why certaimy. II iw ve v much cooler it has grown within the past few minutes,’ the j’oimg man su 1 j denly added, with a kind of \ nra | tjon: ‘surely that cool wave the sig | mil-service dispatcher antiouiiced ns ! having entered this country from | Manitoba must he nearing us once | more.’ And he took out his handkerchief and swabbed u face that looked as though it had never heard of a cold wave, nor even looked into fbo face of a man who hud heard of one. He knew when .he talked of its being cooler, that his face would scorch an ice-berg brown in ten minutes. Bv this time they bud turned a corner, and the appalling sign was out of sight.. Mr. Henderson brcith ed like a free mac. ‘I a'wuyu like to stroll along Jed ; ferson street in the evening,’ said Ethel. ’lt’s so lively. My, just. [ look at the crowd of people going in at that door. M'hat is going on in [ there, Mr. Henderson?’ Mr. Henderson looked across to the other side of the street, us usual, and said, ‘Oh, yes; that is a clothing house.’ ‘Why, no, Mr. Henderson,’ ex claimed Elfrida. ‘Thai’s an ice cream saloon.* Ethel laughed merrily. ‘t>o yon know,' she said, ‘I wondered what so many young ladies could want in a J gentleman's clothing store 1* Mr. Henderson said, ‘II, ha, to j be Hare!’ And, oh! the feeid ■ I ghastly tincture ot rnir'll there was I in iiis nervous, ‘Hu, ha !' It sounded as though a hoy witn the ear-ache should yssay to laugh. | ‘Jm it true, Mr. Head rson,‘ asked i I E'hel, ‘that soda fountains some- ! times explode?* Mr. Henderson, gasping fu breath eagerly assured her that, they did ; vor> f-eom-ntly, and that in every! instance they scattered death ami j destruction around. Ic many of J Eastern cities, he said, they have ! been abolished by law, and the same I thing should be done here In New ■ York", the young man went on, all the soda fountains hud been removed , far outside the cit.y limits, and were in located far lonely meadows, side by side with powder houses. ‘I am not afraid of them,’ said the hiring Ethel. ‘I dont believe they are a bit dangerous.' I I' ‘Nor I,* echoed Elfrida. ‘I would not bo afraid to walk up to and stand by it all -day. Why arc you so afraid of them, Mr, Henderson ?’ Mr Henderson gnashed his teeth and secretly pufloit out a great sheaf of hair from his head ill nervous ago nv. Then he said that lie once had a fair young sister blown to pieces by one of those terrible engines of destruction while she was drinking j at it, and he had never been able to I look at n soda fountain without I growing faint. j ‘How sad,’said both tho young la !di<B, and then Ethel asked: ‘How do they make soda water, Mr. Henderson ?’ And while the young man was | getting reaily to recite a receipt l coni posed mainly of dirt and poison, El j frida read aloud four ice-cream signs, | and Ethel read oil a transparency, I ‘Lemon ices, cooling, refreshing and I healthful,'lied Elfiida read, ‘Ladies’ | and gentlemen’s ice-cream parlors,* twice, and E In 1 looked at tho door and sain: ‘Oh, don’t they look nice and cool in there! how comfortable and hap py they do look !’ And Elfrida then said: ‘Yes, indeed; it makes this dusty street an 1 scorching sidewalk seem like an men. just look it at them, evan,’ and then y,*mig Mr. Hender son, who for Iho last ten ntinnb s had been clawing his hair, and tear ofl Ilia necktie and collar, anil pav ing the air, shouted ill tones of wild frenzy: ‘Oil, yes, yes, yes. Come in; come in mi gorg" your-elves ! Every!) dv come in olid feed up n whole week’s salary in li!'b en minutes Set ’em up!

I AN IKl>tl LETTER. AS KXTtN! IVB DROVE OF THOBOCOHBKED BULLS. My DiiAit Nephew; I haen't sent you a letter since the last time I wrote to you, beknse we moved from our former place of living and con sequently I couldn’t tell where a let ter would find you. But I now, with pleasure, take mv pen to inform you of the death of your only living Mel*i lvilpathrick, who died very suddenly last week afther a linger ing illness of sick months. The poor man was in violent convulsions du ring the whole time of Ids sickness, lying perfectly quiet and spachlcss, all the time talking incoha*ontlv, and calling fi r watlier. I had no time to inform von of his death soon er, except 1 had wrote to yon by the last (lost, which went off ten days before he died, and then you’d had postage to pay. I am at a loss to toll wh it his death was occasioned by, hut I fear it was by his last sickness, for he wait never well fen days the gfither dur ing the whole time of his confine ment, and I believe Ids death was occasioned by his at ing toe much rabbits schnffed wttii pays anil gra vy or pays and gravy schnffed with rabbits - 1 can’t tell which. But be that as it in tv, as soon as he hreutli ed his last the ilocklherA gave up ah hopes of his recovery. I can’t tell you any thing about Ids age, for you well know that in March next he’d have been twenty-five years oul i, lacking ten mouths, and hot he ivrd til that time, he’d been jist six mouths dead. His properly no v revolves to his next of kill, who all died some time ago, so that I expect that it will be divided betae il us, and you know Ids property was something very con ideiubli', for ho had a lino es tatoth.it were sowld to pay liisd tits and the remainder he lost in a horse rue ; b t il was the opinion of every outwit the time that In* would have won the race if the horse he run against Imilu’: been too fast lor him. I never saw a mail and the dock then* all say so, that obsarveil direc tions or luck medicine hell her than he did. lie said he’d as lave take bi’llnr ali.nvays as sugar candy, it if it only Im l tile same taste, and as ipecacuina us whisky punch, il il would only put him in the same hu - mor for lighting. But, poor soul, he will niver ate or drink more, and you havn’t a living relation left in the wide world, except myself arid yonir two cousins who were killed in the last war. I can’t dwell tin this mournful subject.and I shall sale my letter with Wack salin wax and pill on it your uncle’s curt of arms, so 1 beg you not to break the sale when you open this letter, and don’t open it until three or four days afther yon have resaved it, by which time yon will be prepared for the sorrowful tidings. Your sweetheart, Judy McGee, sends you In r lout unknownst to me. When Pat Finnegan arrives in America ax him for this lelther, and if lie does not know it from all the rest, tell him it’s the one that spakes about your uncles death and Haled m black.
