An old French shoemaker who boast
ed tina. nothing could Brighten him, was
put to the test by two young men. One
Of thcm pretended 10 be dead, and the
other, going to the shoemaker, induced
him to 'sit up" with the supposed corpse.
The shoemaker was in y hurry with
some work he had promised to have
ready the next morning. So he took
his tools and leather and bcgan working
beside the corpse. About Il o'clock at
night, cup OF black coffee was brought
him to keep him awake. lie drank il
and resumed work. About l o'clock,
the coffee having exhilaratcd him, for.
getting that he vas in tho presence OF
death, he commenced to sing lively
tune, keeping ,ime with his hammer.
Suddenly the corpse arose end exclaimed
in hollow voice: "Whcn . man is in
tho presence of death no should not
sing" Tho shoemaker started, then
suddenly dealt tho corpse blow on the
be ID, cxclaiming at the same time
"Whcn q man is dead he should not
speak" 1t was the last time they tried
10 scare the shoemaker.

A private letter from Rome, dated
Nov. 2, gives the following account OF q
curious interview between two noted
personagcs:
"Joaquin Miller, the Oregon poet,
was here yesterday, and | requested a
friend TO present him to Miss Hosmer,
kculptress.-The interview was thus dc
scribed to me: When tho studio was
reached Miss Hosmer appeared on the
threshold to receive her guests. After
the presentation, without making the U.S.
uxl valuations Miller, stopped short, and
in his pcculiaa manner examined curl
ously his hostess and then blurtcd, Hos.
mcr! like your cyc."
The ciRuit of the studio was then be.
gun. Miller had little to say until the
party approached fine statue around
the base of which were two serpents
twincd around one another. These he
regarded intcntly, exclaiming, "Hosmer,
I'm savage. don't know much about
your beautiful forms and figures, but
do knew what . serpent is like, and dcrn
me II they Amt the best ever saw"
The last statue was some beautiful ideal
affair of Miss .HOsmcr's. This seemed
to attract the poet immensely, but, afler
long stare, he calculated, gazing upon
tho marble, "Hosmcr you're u great
man" Ut is needless to say that our
gifted countrywoman prizes highly the
rough but serene and complimentary
criticiSm.)

A Brighton man quarrellsd with his
wife, and, to bring her to terms, throa
tened su'cidc, but she didn't seem to
mind this much. Nervcd to despcra-
ton by her nonchalance he seized pis-
tol, and, stepping from window, TO the
Hat Roof OF shed in the rear Of the
dwelling, discharged tho pistol very
carefully in the ir, and after u,terlng q
series Of doleful groans, fell fiat upon
his back, as in the last agonics Of disco
luton. At this stage of the proceedings
1t was the witc's part to climb out of the
window and fall on the supposed corpse
of her husband with loud lamentations.
But she didn't. On the contrary, un-
doub,edly entertaining supicion that
the affair was a rusc, she retired quiet
TO bed and made no sign. 1t was one of
the coldcst nights of the season, and the

root till he was nearly frozen, crop; in

A SANDER Checked by CandOr.

Alexander Hamilton, the trusted aid
de-camp and friend of Washington,
died from the murderous shot of Aaron
Burr just 70 years ago. He was the
first and the ablest man who ever filed
the office of Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States. AS party leader,
in times of fierce political excitement,
he was the shining mark of many bitter
assaults. Mr.. Jefferson was the target
of the Federal diatribes. Every act of
his private life, too, was distorted into
something criminal or immoral.
At last the Jeffersonians in the year
1896 lighted upon scandal that needed
no coloring to render it distasteful to
Hamilton's friends and damaging to his
reputation. The story ran thus: A
buxom and ATTRACTIVE woman had visited
the susceptible Secretary of the Treas
ury, captivated and seduced him from
the path of duty and morality. An
amour sprang out of the affair and
went far enough to expose the woman
as an adventures and blackmailer of
the most avaricious nature. At illiterate
and vulgar husband attempted the
panel game on the great Secretary and
an Office in the Treasury, or $50, 900 in
cash, would alone solace the wounds to
his honor and connubial felicity in
ficted by Hamilton. The great man
resisted the art of the woman and her
supposititious husband. They sold
their valuable scandal to his enemies,
WHO laid it before the public. w.. g..
Friends promptly denied the vile
story, but were silenced by the cour-
age and honesty of Hamilton's answer.
Freely admitting that he had strayed
from the path of duty, had sinned griev-
ously as father and husband, he in
digGantly repealed all aspersions on his
honor as public official. He repented
of his sin and asked the indulgence of
his fellow citizens but if he had been
misled by any influence to betray the
financial trust confded to him, he should
have no right to forgiveness or indul-
gence. He published the original doc
ument and threatening letters which
proved the facts to be as above stated.
Hamilton's manly answer disarmed pub
lie censure, and he continued the idol
of his party and the most admired and
respected political chieftain of the era,
and was fully forgiven by his wife, .gs.
