•aloon would pay for them without
increasing the burden. The ques¬
tion was voted on and tlic saloon
won; soon three had set up their
business, each paying into the city
treasury a thousand dollars yearly.

the good sidwalk laid and both

A COMEDY OF ERROR3.

StnpMity Mixed With Carelessness That
v.' drought Mortification to » Lovely Woman.
“Talk of a ‘Comedy of Err cars!’ ” said
a woman of society tho other day- “I
had an experience lately that might
have boeu called by that name, although
it was anything but a comedy to poor
me. Yon know that l am rather an old
faghioucd bonsekeeper and pride myself
on my cake, which I make myself from
Uui0 to tiuM> ’ W»d of which, when it
turns out particularly well, I liko to
g«id n specimen to some l'rieud. So the
other day, when I had very good luck
ydth a new rccijxj, I arranged my best
looking case, all daintily frosted, in a
cardboard box, and telling uiy maid to
bid the ocach mau take it to Mrs. £L,
my card, Twent out to do some
shopping,
<< < Did you scud tho cake?’ I asked on
my return. ‘Oh, uia’mifj-exclaimed the
Abigail, ‘James made such a mistake!
I told him to take tho box in tho hall,
aud when I camo down stairs I found
he had taken tho big case that yon
brought home yesterday. ’
“Well, of course, it was a piece of
stupidity, but I did not really mind, for
tho case contained a Cue copy of an an¬
tique flying ‘Victory, ’ and as Mrs. S. is
a woman of raro appreciation I felt,
really pleased that she should have it,
and that I, for my part, should bavo tho
credit of remembering her tastes aud
making what I knew would be an ac¬
ceptable present But I was not so well
pleased when Mary, tho ovorzealous,
continued, ‘So, os soon as I found out,
ma’am, what he had done, I told him
to go straight back and say that it was
a mistake and that you wtmld like the
case back, ma’am!’
“You may imagine bow I fejt! It
was then too lato to do anything, bnt
all night the affair weighed on my mind
liko an incubus, and th* Very next
morning I wrote Mrs. 8. a long explan¬
atory note, apologizing for tho donblo
mistake of man and maid and trying to
explain how tho confusion had -arisen.
It sounded awkwardly enough, but it
was the best I could do, so I sent it off
with tho cake, which in tho meanwhile
had been left waiting in the hall. When
the man came back, I asked him what
he hod dono with tho caso. ‘ What case?’
he said stupidly. ‘Why, the caso Mary
told you to fetch back from Mrs. 0. ’a ’
‘Shuio, an I niver got it back at all, *
was his most unexpected answer, which
put the finishing touch to tho altogether
trying situation, for if I had never mat
ten my note of explanation it would
have been all right. When, that .after¬
noon, the expressman brought back the
unfortunate ‘Victory, ’ together with a
polite but puzzled note from Mrs. S. re¬
turning tho nnluoky present (which I
afterward learned through a mutual
friend had been received with much
ploasure llirary), qaul given a conspicuous place
in the my mortiflor.tion was
complete. Of course there wtA nothing
clso to be dono aboq,t it, but I oould not
bear tho sight of tho unlucky statuette
and sent it to a distant relative, hoping
never to see or hear of it again. ’ ’—New
York Tribune.
The Wounded In the Next War.
The conqueror of tho future, if ho ac¬
cepts tho old time conventional, burden
of his adversary’s wounded, will be¬
come its victim. He will not rcrept the
incubus. Is it to be imagined that the
victor in such circumstances will think
twice oven about his own wounded, let
alone tho wounded of the othcr_side?
Na He is in the field not to be a hospital
nurse, but to follow up his advantage
by hammering on the enemy who baa
departed, leaving his own wounded be¬
hind, arid who may comeback again to¬
morrow to strike Mm while clogged in
the live and dead debris of yesterday’s
battle. The victor will hasten away to
overtako or hang on tho skirts of the
vanquished army, leaving the wounded
on both sides to bo dealt vrith ns may be

ford, in view of future contingencies, to
leave behind, and to tho ministrations
of cosmopolitan amateur philanthro¬
pists of tho Red Cross and kindred or
ganizatipns, for there will be no more
military bearer companies. In tho hun¬
ger for fighting men tho 1,000 bearers
