Mayor of Dnblin's Dlgnltv.
The Lord Mayo* of Dublin malntalna
a degree of pomp and circumstance
far greater thi<n that of any other civic
dignitary lu the United Kingdom out
side of London. His official residence
is a stately edifice, with ample accom
modation for entertaining. Including
'"the round room," a vast chamber
constructed when the city entertained
George IV. The equipages and pow
dered footmen of his lordship would do
no discredit to his brother official in
London. The Lord Mayor receives
$15,000 a year, but it must be remem
bered that $15,000 a year in Dublin
goes further than it does In London.
The chief magistrate has enjoyed the
title of lord since the time of Charles
11. By far the most distinguished
holder of the office was Daniel O'Con

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.
I know a man who has no friend
In all this teeming earth ;
His days In solitude he'll end
Afar from sounds of mirth.
The truth somehow went to his head ;
By trouble he Is caught.
He frankly went ahead and said
What everybody thought.
Some people said, "Of course It's true
And that's whac makes it worse ;
We'll have to quit him. He is due
To feel the social curse
Which o'er the over-bold Is spread."
His life with woe Is fraught.
Ami all because be frankly said
What everybody thought.
\ A PATENT ELOPEMENT.
"A visitor, Jabez."
Old Farmer Smith rose from the din
ner table and picked up his hat from
the side of the chair.
"Who is it, wife?" be asked.
"A young man," she replied.
The farmer's lip set tight as he wit
nessed a glance which passed between
his wife and his daughter.
"I understand," he said, severely,
with a determined look at the anxious
face of the girl. "That city chap,
Austin."
"Yes,father," she replied.
"I'll settle his business for him," and
Farmer Smith strode Into the parlor,
his heavy boots sounding a death-knell
to tbe faint hopes In the sinking
of pretty, winsome Alice Smith. "So
you're here again, eh?"
The brusque Interrogatory did not
seem to crush the courteous, handsome
young man, who arose - and faced the
farmer.
"Yes, Mr. Smith," was his reply.
"And on the same old errand, I sup
pose ?"
"Yes, sir; I came to ask your con
sent—"
"You can't have It!" interrupted
Farmer Smith, savngely. "Alice alu't
going to marry you or any body else,
just yet."
"But time—"
"You've heard me, Mr. Leslie Austin.
You can't have my daughter."
"I love her, Mr. Smith."
"Nonsense! She's too young to know
her own mind. I have said my say, and
the harvest hands are waiting. Good
day, sir!"
Under such determined resistance,
Leslie Austin retreated. He bit his lips
angrily, as he walked rapidly down the
road to the village hotel.
"It's a shame," decided his friend
Bob Townsend, as he heard the dis
appointed lover's story.
"We think so much of each other,"
murmured Leslie, mournfully.
"You ain't going to give up this way,
are you?" asked Bob.
Leslie looked up inquiringly.
"What else can I do?" he asked.
"Marry her," said Bob.
"Her father won't consent."
"Suppose he don't"
Leslie started, but shook bis head
slowly.
"1 know what you're hitting at. Bob
—an elopement."
"You're right."
"But it could not be."
"Why not?"
"Because Alice is bound to obey her
father, and 1 am. too, for that matter."
Bob scowled Impatiently.
"Nonsense!" lie aspirated, angrily.
"See here, Leslie. If you were the ir
responsible chap old Smith thinks you,
I'd hesitate; but you ain't—you're an
honest, well-to-do lawyer, respectably
connected, and only laboring under a
prejudice on the farmer's part, that be
cause neighbor Jones' girl married a
worthless man from the metropolis all
such matches must end similarly."
"Granted."
"Therefore, being in the right, and
the old farmer in one of his mad
moods, I'd outwit him."
"How?"
The query was encouraging.
"Hun away with Alice," said Bob.
"1 can't."
"Why not?"
"Her father watches her too closely."
"That's the only reason, is it?"
"I believe so."
"She's willing?"
"Presumably."
"And you?"
"O, Bob, you're talking nonsense!
I might as well go back to the city
and wait until Mr. Smith changes his
mind."
"And let some other fellow have
Alice. You're a brave lover!"
Leslie was despondent.
"I have a plan, if you're plucky
enough to follow it out," suggested Bob.
Leslie's face grew expectant at the
hint.
"What is It?" he asked.
"Listen!"
What Bob told the discournged lover
need not be repeated. The subsequent
acts of the conspirators afford a suf
ficient explanation.
It was the next day that faithful Bob
reeonnoitered the ground, and found
that Farmer Smith had indeed taken
due precaution to prevent lilsdaughter
meeting or running away with Leslie.
But Bob managed to get a letter to
tbe fair prisoner—a letter after read
ing which secretly she manifested her
acquiescence to its contents by an in
telligent nod to the messenger.
It wns of the day fol
lowing. lust Farmer Smith had sent
bis two boys to the town with a load
of potatoes, and was seated, resting for
an hour or two, on the front porch,
with Alice industriously sewing by
his side, that a vehicle driven by a
single occupant came down the road.
Old .labez looked in profound amaze
ment as the vehicle came to a stop.
It WHS a kind of skeleton wagon, with
a double seat, and behind It was at
tached a small rubber hose, with s»v
eral wheels distributed hero and
there, near the axle.
"In the name of wonder, what have
we nere?" he aaid, as he walked to
the gate.
The driver sprang down.
"Jabez Smith?" he asked.
The farmer nodded a dignified as
sent, little dreaming that the bearded
stranger was Bob Townsend in dis
guise.
"I learn from inquiries in the village
that you are quite a scientist, Mr.
Smith."
Science, of which old Jabez knew
nothing, but affected much, was his
salient point. Flattered by the strang
er's words, he replied pompously.
"I reckon I knowsomethingabout it."
"I have come, Mr. Smith," said the
stranger, "to show you a new motive
power for hayrakes."
The farmer's face fell.
"A patent right!" he muttered. "1
don't want to buy one," he said, aloud,
turning to re-enter the house.
"Buy one!" replied the stranger."
"This is not for sale, sir," declared
Bob, with quiet dignity. "I deslreyour
opinion as a scientist in regard to the
principles Involved in its construction
and operations."
The farmer's face grew pleased
again.
"Happy to give it, sir. If I can be of
any use to the world at large by my
knowledge of science—"
"Or make your fellow beings happy,
you're ready to sacrifice your valuable
time—eh, Mr Smith?" insinuated Bob.
"Certainly, sir."
"You can—you can, believe me sir,"
asseverated the wicked conspirator,
earnestly and truthfully. "Have you
a rake?"
"Yes."
"I'll help you bring it o'ut here, and
we'll make a trial trip of this wonder
ful machine."
A few minutes later the farmer's
hay rake was brought out. Bob made
much ado of fastening it by a rope to
the rear of the vehicle, and the farmer
watched him curiously, as he turned
the wheels and adjusted the hose to
what he called position.
"This hose is an air brake, sir. The
idea is, if we can make it do so, to have
tiie rake operate as usual. The air
brake might otler a resistance to the
ground, push forward the front ve
hicle. and ventilate the hay. Man and
brute creation demand air—why not
vehicles?"
"Quite true," replied Jabez, some
what dubious and perplexed over the
apparent uselessness of the machine.
"Utility and nonrefragibility, Mr.
Smith," rattled on Bob, recklessly.
"The hypothenuse of the curve of the
diameter of the axle, you perceive, lias
a circumferential effect upon tliespher
oid concavity of the brake. You will
understand these terms, Mr. Smith, as
a mathematician and scientist. All
ready ?"
Farmer Smith, overcome by the lofty
words, obeyed mutely, as Bob request
ed him to get into the rake seat. •
"I'll drive the preliminary vehicle,"
explained Bob, with a serene chuckle
at the fun of his oratory, "and you
will watch the effect of the air brake
—if tiie friction of thewheels generates
air—over yonder stretch of meadow.
By tiie way, is one of your hands
around?"
"They've gone to town," replied
Jabez, glumly.
lie had a vague consciousness that
the stranger was a charlatan, for he
could not for the life of him see what
possible use the clumsy combination of
wheels and hose could be.
"All, there is a young lady! lour
daugliter.Mr. Smith, I presume?" said
Bob, raising his hat politely. "There
must be more weight on tiie seat of the
front vehicle. If you'll let her take
her seat beside me, iii the interests ot
science, Mr. Smith?"
He almost lost his dignified gravity
as he saw the suspicious look on the
old farmer's face.
The last words, "in the Interests of
science," however, decided Mr. Smith.
"Jump in, Alice," he said, desperate
ly.
The stranger whipped up the horse.
Old Jabez, in the rake seat behind,
clung on wildly as the horse was
driven briskly. He almost fell for
ward as there was a break caused by
the rope parting. Bob had deftly cut
it with a knife.
"Hold on—hold on!" cried old Ja
bez. as the new motor-power vehicle
dashed forward.
He stared blankly as it traversed
the field, made a sharp turn to tin;
road and, gracefully rounding a
curve in the highway, disappeared
from view.
What did It mean? The boys had
taken the horses to town, anil he
could not start In pursuit; but he
grew white as he discerned a fact:
He had been tricked!
He had cooled down considerably
when, at nightfall, a carriage drew
up before the gate.
lie looked grimly up from l>eneath
iiia shaggy eyebrows as Leslie Austin
and pretty, blushing Alice came for
wa rd.
Bob, following them, was the first
to speak.
"The new motor power took up a
new passenger down the road. Farm
er Smith," he said slyly. "You
wanted to make mankind happy,
neighbor—you've done it."
Jabez made a feint to declare hos
tilities, then and there, against the
conspirators, but he sank back dis
armed in Ills chair as the gentle voice
of his wife saitl, pleadingly:
"Forgive them, father—they are so
happy!"
And Farmer Smith had not the
heart to say nay.

Cream In Salati Dre«»lnffn.
Some people do not know that
cream can be used in salad dressings.
At the game time there is no question
that the best salad is made of oil, but
the whipped cream can be acceptably
used in its place, and the taste is a little
different from that of the regular
mayonnaise. A recipe for this whipped
cream dressing is: Take two eggs,
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two
tablespoonfuls of cream, one table
spoonful of sugar, a quarter of a table
spoonful of mustard. The bowl la ■»
which these ingredients are mixed
should be placed in a vessel of boiling A
water and stirred until the consistency
