It is only necessary to, recall that Mr. Jnlinn was the gracious and queenly hostess . to convince all who know her that this part of the programme was perfection itself. The -color, scheme of tho club (green and white) ' was carefully preserved ' throughout, the ice urrnui nu cane conforming exactly to the rule, and a witty remark from one or the breth ren caused great merriment that even 1 the personnel of the audience was con : slstent. the ladles being white and the men, reen.

It was right on the midnight stroke that the last reluctant guests departed, and every body breathed a blessing on the Book Club, and the courteous and kindly host and hostess. Mr. Wlllam A.

Scores of circus, minlstrtl. : dramatic and. operatic or gantssitl'ns own or tease the cars In which they travel and live and hun dreds of cars are In the hands of car nival companies and all manner of strolling entertainers, " To such an extent Is this tma that dealing in these movsblo hotels has Ue vlord (nto. recontsed Industry. There, are several men In Chicago who' make it their exclusive business snd one woman, who owns a long Sine of the finest cars of the kind in (he country. She lives at a downtown hotel, keeps In close touch with the amusement profession and rents coach es, making a specialty of furnishing private cars to distinguish artists tour ing the country . Hhe also rents to touring parties and to visitors and tourists of all kinds who desire to travel in comfort and privacy. There are also companies making a business of storing private cars when not in use. Chicago has no such con cern. The nearest nproa;h m rail yard at the east entrance to the -Union stockyards, where numbers of prlva'e cars are almost always to be found. There are always some about the va rious railroad rupnlr shops, for It is an endlean task to ke roiing stock In repair. A good car rents for from $25 a week upward under bond to Insure Its return free from all costs to the point where It was secured. From twenty-four persons to' more than twice that num ber find living accommodations aboard on ordinary "show" cor. The major ity of such cars are old Pullmans or Wagners thrown out of service by the ever-growing demand for larger curs and more elaborate ornamentation. They are held at from $:.500 to $,000 or more each. Aside from the amusement concern, tourist uaoclatlons, itinerant doctors, dentists, oculists, photographers unil the business nrm and speculators owning passengers, sleeping and bag gaga cars, the great trust and bonk ing companies are lurge holders of rolling stock. On many of the West ern railroads plates on the trucks und Often upon the steps announce tlm conches to be the property of som trtist company or othr operating un- der lease on that particular railroad. When the vast number of private re - frlgerators ami freight curs In com- mission is taken Into consideration It will be readily really-ed that the cam of the country are by no mans In the hands of the railroads.

He was bitten In the right foot. I should very much have liked to have carried the exper iment out to the end and have bled him. but not being n medical man. and as there was n hospital only a few miles distant, I had to submit to clr cwpwtances. .

There are still manv terms rinyiuru uy nn irnae wnicn are un known to the outside public und some of them show a pretty turn of fancy.

"Legs and arms" Is beer with no body in it; and to "give his pint for 1l man" meanit that he will vouch for him to the utmost of his power; going to America is "crossing the damp pot." To spoil anything Is to "make pig or pork" of it; a badly worked buttonhole is a 'dead sow's eye;" and a collar or lapel too large for the cost Is a "pig's lug." A "paralytic fit" is a misfit, and a "misfit" is a man of awkward figure. . 9mm , ... , , OLD DR. DRUMMOND.

' , A visitor to tha Zoological Garden a few days ago made so many and ao pertinent Inquiries about the llamas kept there that the curiosity of the keeper In charge of that particular part of the garden was aroused. He finally asked why tho questions were being asked. The man, who re fused to give his name, said that, If he could get the animals at anything like a reasonable figure, he thought of stocking his ranch in the West with them. From letters written to South American friends, he said, he had learned that he could probably get a sufficient number for the. experiment at a cost of not more than $30 each. As they are fairly good wool growers, he said that there ought to be more profit In them at this price than the same number of sheep. In his opinion the fleece of the llama Is as good as that of the camel for manufacturing purposes. Specialliices SSPrccaAl- SALE OF PIANOS THIS week.
