Her Last Practical Joke.
From the Chicago Journal.
“Did I ever tell you,” said a lady friend
to the Stroller as he finished the recital of a
joke played upon a mutual friend, “how I
was cured suddenly and completely of
practical joking! No? I thought I had.
Well, it was some winters ago, aud 1, in
company with a lady friend, strolled into
an art gallery on Wabash avenue. As was
the almost universal custom with ladies then
my friend carried her pocketbook in her
muff. I had warned her several times of its
probable loss, but she had only laughed at
my warnings. In strolling around the
store i saw my friend’s sealskin muff left on
a table, and as the edge of the pocketbook
peeped out I quietly confiscated it—chuck
ling in my sleeve at my friend’s anticipated
dismay when she found my oft-repeated
prediction fulfilled. We soon left the
gallery, and though I thought it strange my
friend bad not noticed her loss on resuming
her muff, 1 said nothing until the conductor
on the street car came in front of us. ‘Let
me pay,’ she said. ‘All right. Where’s
your purse?’ I queried.
“ ‘Why, here it is!’ she answered, sur
prised, at the question, and drawing her
hand from her sealskin muff showed her
portemonnaie. ‘Then who’s is this?’ I asked
in dismay, showing the one I had abstracted.
How do I know? ‘I found it in your muff
on the table.’ ‘I laid my muff on the
counter—not on the table’ ‘There was a
lady in the store buying engravings—per
haps that muff on the table was hers.’ IVe
left the car instantly and hurried back
through the winter twilight to the art
gallery. We or rather I—told my mortify
ing tale, and saw in the merchant’s face a
thinly disguised vexation and contempt.
The purse had been the property of the
third lady in the store, who, on preparing to
pay for her purchases, and finding her
purse abstracted from the muff, had made
some very bitter remarks, which the pro
prietor rightfully felt reflected on the chai -
acter of his store and the standing of his
patrons. He had made her loss more than
good by requiring no pay for the engravings
sold her. As she had taken her purchases
with her he could give no clew to her
identification except that she lived on the
West Side. I had noticed tire lady’s per
sonal appearance, and this, coupled with
the vague hint of her residence on the WAt
Side, was all I had to go on. 1 kept my
eyes open everywhere, and finally I saw her
one day, weeks afterward, in a big dry
goods store in the elevator. Imagine if you
can my shame and embarrassment in recit
ing my foolish prank, while the haughty
contempt and silent incredulity of her
manner heated red hot the iron which was
entering my very soul. No more practical
jokes for me.”
The Czar’s Dislike for Germany,
Berlin Correspondence London Telegraph.
Until lately the Emperor William extend
ed to the reigniug Czar that cordial and ro
bust friendship which he had entertained so
many years for his father, and which once
led Prince Bismarck to remark to the late
Gen. Fleury, ’‘when there is any question
of our going to war it is hard work to con
vince our good sovereign; he always thinks
first of his relatives.’’ But the Emperor
Alexander 111. never really abandoned the
strong anti-German proclivities which he
openly professed before he ascended the
throne. It is well known that during the
Kusso-Turkish war he insisted that any
member of his staff caught talking German
should be made to pay a heavy fine, which
went to the wounded relief fund. It came
to the ears of his father, who seized an early
opportunity of visiting the quarters of the
Czarevitch and addressed each individual
member of his suite in German. They were
obliged to answer in t he same language, and
afterward compelled to pny the fine. From
the day the reigning Czar succeeded his
father the hope was kindled in every
Frenchman’s breast that a Franco-Russian
alliance would be brought about. Circum
stances, however, forced Russia to reckon
with Germany, w’hieh she did with more or
less good grace as long as Germany did not
thwart her Eastern policy. But the mo
ment has come when (lermany can make no
further concession to Russia without infring
ing the interests of her allies, Austria anti
Italy, and the consequence has been that
the hydra of Panslavism has been let loose
again unchecked by a reproving word
from the Czar. The So roe
Vremi/a writes thus: “The West
European press is singing victory over
Russia, which it represents as completely
isolated and incapable of carrying out its
aims in Bulgaria. Events are approaching
that will give this tho lie. Instead of talk
ing so much about tho new triple alliance
being the safest means of issolatiug Russia,
it would bo better to wait and see what
measures the Cabinet of St. Petersburg is
going to take in view of neutralizing the
effects of the said alliance.”
Things Asked of Actors.
John Drew was shown a letter in which
the authorship of “The Shrew” is attributed
to Augustin Daly. Mr. Drew said he was
not very much surprised.
“Why, the other day in New York” con
tinued the comedian, “a real estate broker
to whom I was introduced said:
1 “If I could talk as wel liu my business as
you do in yours, Mr. Drew, I would be a
rich man. I can’t understand how you
manage to think of all those funny things
just on the spur of the moment.” ’
The ignorant questions actors are subject
ed to is not half as appalling as their lack of
tact ami their impertinence. A mem tier of
Mr. Joseph Jefferson’s family once said she
had often lieen asked if it did not pain her
very much to see her father making an
exhibition of himself for money. And this
of the most graceful of comedians.
