Beecher,s Contributions Rejected.

A Brooklyn IN. ~ correspondent
says: Some years ago the wide-awake
editor of the New York Ledger engaged
Mr.. Beecher as a contributor, and for o
short article, about half a column, I
believe he was paid 800. One day, in
conversation with friend in regard to
the literary merit of those articles, he
said: ''I would try an experiment with
them to test their value in the market. !"
A weekly story paper just then out had
stated, "they would like some short
sketches, for which liberal price would
be paid" I cut from copies of old
.Ledgers two of the Beecher articles,
taking them six months apart, and gave
them my owu headlines. I sent them to
the editor, and in due time the answer
arrived; / give it to your readers in full:
"We cannot offer any pay for the two
articles you have sent us; they are well
written, but the ideas are rather soft.
Clouds, sea, sky, trees, etc., have all
been written to death. Try yourself on
the little and big incidents of everyday
life, and you may find plenty of them in
walking the streets, or riding in the cars,
if you keep your eyes open. We have
returned the manuscripts, as you wished" "

Fight for Life with a Mad Dog.

A fearful encounter with mad dog
occurred in Bridgewater, N. H., recent
ly. A large mastiff entered the house of
Widow Huckins and sprang at the throat
of young woman, a daughter of Mrs.
Huckins. She threw up her arm, and
the dog bit her in the right hand. The
mother, who was in another room, has
tened to her assistance, when the dog
sprang at her, biting her in the same
way. The dog then ran down the road
to the house of Gilman Fletcher. Here
small pet dog was tied in front of the
house. The mastiff sprang upon him
and killed him. Mr.. Fletcher, who was
the only one at home, raised a window
to ascertain what the trouble was, when
the dog bit him in the left arm, making
an ugly wound. Mr.. Fletcher then
seized pair of large tongs and stepped
to the door, when the dog sprang at his
throat. A blow from the tongs knocked
him back, but he instantly rallied and
made another spring, with the same re-
suit. Thus the fight continued for
long time, the dog becoming more in
frlriated at every blow, when finally he
succeeded in driving his fangs into
Fletcher's right arm, tearing the flesh
into shreds. 1t was now fight for life,
and by a desperate effort the dog was
given a blow that partially stunned him.
This was promptly followed up, and the
dog soon dispatched.

Thiers, who died September 8: AT the
time of his death no citizen of France
held a more prominent place in the eyes
of his countrymen and of the world than
Louis Adolphe Thiers. Though over
eighty years of age, he was in robust
health, and his intellect was as clear,
active, and vigorous as at any previous
time; and by reason of his great expert
ence in public affairs, his undoubted
patriotism, his eminent services to his
country, and his distinguished fitness for
such position, he was looked upon by
large majority of the Republican
party of France as the successor of Mac
Mahon, should the latter, in the event
of an advers result to the present cleo
tions for deputies to the Assembly, re-
sign the Presidency. The fact that the
country might rely upon SO safe man

may, for this reason, be a serious blow

M. Thiers was born in Marseilles,
April 16, 1897. He studied law, and
practiced from 1918 to 1922, after which
he went to Paris and became q writer for

tion." He entered political life under

Der of Deputies, and afterward success

etat of 1852 was arrested and afterward
banished. He did not venture actively
again into the political field until in
1868, when the Paris Liberals elected
him a Deputy. He opposed earnestly
The war with Germany, and uttered pre-
dictions of disaster that proved so true
as to inspire the people with the highest
confidence in his wisdom and foresight.

ther, and deepened the public sense of
his patriotism and craftsmanship. In
1871 he was chosen Chief of the Execu-
tive by the Assembly, and in August of
the same year he was elected President
of the Republic for term of three
years. In May, 1872, he resigned, and

Not Charley Ross.

The boy that was reputed to be Char
ley Ross was taken to Philadelphia re-
Gently. The positive assertions of his
guardians that he was indeed the miss
ing boy attracted an excited multitude
to the Continental Hotel, and many per-
sons vowed that the boy was Charley.
Two brothers of the father examined him
carefully, and then said "We do not
think he is the boy" A neighbor of
Mr.. Ross said: "I know it's Charley
Ross" The guests of the hotel thronged
into the room to catch glimpse of the
youngster, and kept going and coming
all day. In the afternoon his guardians
started with him for Germantown, the
residence of Mr.. Christian K. Ross. AT
least /, 800 persons gathered in the depot
to see him off, and men waved handker-
chiefs and women three kisses at the curly
haired boy. At the Germantown depot

the throng went on to another house, two
blocks above, a detour being made to
enter Mr.. Ross's premises in the rear.
The crowd followed in confusion, tramp
ed over the lawn, flowers and shrubbery,
and even invaded the private portico,
driving the Ross family inside. The
boy didn't recognize any of the sur
roundings, or any person. When taken to
Mr.. Ross's side he did not make any signs
of recognition. Mr.. Ross questioned
him at length. He said: 81 live with
Mr.. Coffin. My mother lives in st.
Mary's; I never lived in big town; I
lived in a big cabin with one room in it;
I amt going to tell you everything"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ross were positive
he is not their child. Mrs. Ross says:
"People are very foolish. If boy is
found about whose identity there is any
secrecy whatever, they jump right to
the conclusion that it must be my boy.
They never stop to investigate the facts
Why, 1 have had five hundred, yes,
nearly six hundred, cases brought to my
notice from all over the country, Cana
da and England, and in nine cases out of
ten, when run them out, they were
either illegitimate children or women
running away with children from their
husbands" The last boy was known
as Augustus Lowering, and was found at
st. Mary's, Ohio.
