Probably some Russian czar it. The
city is in state of siege. The gentleman
in the foreground, feeling over his head for
the ground, is private gentleman in a
Cossack regiment. He is not feeling very
well. He is i'll. A moment ago he met a
15-inch shell, and was too busy to get out
of the way. His stomach, lungs and swal-
lowing thing went out with the shell, and
he will never smile and enjoy square meal
again. His comrades wish to send for the
doctor. He declines. He says he does not
need him. He is right. He can die with
out him. The doctor will weep when he
learns the Cossack is dead. He will bend
over his lifeless form, and then he will
weigh it, and put it in an item, to the last
ounce, as a tumor he removed from gen.
teman in Scott county. Truly, in the
midst of life we are in debt.
The gentleman in gunny bag trousers and
u Iuns pip - - T-l- He is the friend of
the American journalist, who uses him to
make puns of. He will not last much lon
GER at the rate the American journalist is
using him up. This is all that anybody
knows about the. Turk or Turkey. Move
the panorama on.
This is Russian General See the wide
landscape stretching away in the dim dis
tance. Let her stretch-it doesn't cost us
anything. You cannot see the Russian
General for his name, but he is there all the
same. You can smell his breath. He cats
tallow candles. This makes him light
hearted. His name comes in by the big
rock on the left, follows the course of the
meandering brook in the valley, winds
slowly up the mountain side and disappears
in the direction Of Ulpblowitch. 1t is nine
miles long, without the titles. When his
mother used to call him up to breakfast, she
started at o'clock p. NJ, took long
breath, and talked it off till morning.
This is a telegraph office. The bright
looking young man at the table is West
ern Union operator. The little brass and
steel thing ticking away on the table is the
instrument. The operator is very easily
distinguished from the instrument He
cannot talk SO fast as the instrument, but
he can sleep great deal more. He is go
ing to sleep now. The man leaning over
the counter is heartless citizen, who has
the cheek to ask the operator to send dis
patch for him. The operator. takes the mes
sage. But he does not send it. He hasn't
time. He loses nine games Of checkers
while that citizen IS wondering why he
doesn't get any reply to his dispatch. Then
the citizen starts out to walk to the place
and see the man. He finds him, and, soon
after they meet, the dispatch comes along.
The citizen remembers and recognizes it.
He is affected to tears. The operator finds
him and charges him 40 cents for sending
the message, 45 cents for the wear and tear
of the instrument, so cents for the strain on
his nervous system, 60 cents for collecting
rate on message, 65 cents on general princi-
pies. He learns afterward that the citizen
yet has some money left, and he is going
back in the morning to borrow 1t OF him.
This is Constant O'Nople. He is the
leader of the muscle-men. ALI the O'Noples
are muscular men. Constant O'Nople isn't
afraid of St. Petersburg. He isn't even
afraid of b-d-burg. The sound of the
bucksheesh is heard in the distance.
This is Christian martyr in Roumania.
He leans up against the awning post, and
remarks that there isn't any use Roumaiu-
lang around there any longer He is
book agent. He has becn kicked down
three pair of stairs, chased through an al
ley, bit by two dogs, been hit by poker,
slapped with boot jack, had lump raised
Oh him with d barrel-stave, been punched
into cistern, got lost twice in strange
streets, been arrested four times on charges
of vagrancy and on general suspicion, been
chased out of town once as swindler, been
whipped by a drayman, robbed of his
watch, lost his hat, been called 7s9, 900 diff
ferent kinds of names, and two books, one
of which the man took and never paid him
for, and on the other he made gross profit
of SO cents. He is not rich, is this book
agent, but he is good. Be kind to the
book agent. You may publish book of
your own you will want sold some day.
The isles of Greece. "The isles of
Greece, where burning Sappho loved and
sung" The isles Of Greece were probably
kerosene isles The isles where Sappho
burned were undoubtedly the same kind.
Started the kitchen fire with them. There
Is the lie in the gallon tin can under the ta-
BILE. That is Sappo swearing at the stove
because it won't draw, and looking for the
kerosene. She is going to make balloon
ascension in few minutes, and just as like
as not she will forget to 60 out doors before
she starts up through the roof into the blue
cerulean dome above. The aisles where
she loved and sung were different aisles; in
the church probably. She was naughty, to
a degree, but rather nice. The isles of
Greece in no manner connected with the
ex-iles of Erin. The gentlemen to the right
of the picture, in linen tunic and classic
| nose, is Grecian. They all wore noses of
| the same pattern. The gentleman down
the valley is wiper at the B. & III. shops.
He is just going down to rub up old 29s,
that had to be pulled off the bridge by a
switch-engine the other day.
This is milliners clerk. He is going to
enlist in the suffers department. See his
cuffs hang out over his hands. He wears a
three and "a half boot. And hat two sizes
smaller. He does not work because he has
| to. Salary is no object to him. Neither is
it to his employers. The consequently pay
him $I1 month. The are not avaricious
men. They would pay him half as much
rather than have him discontented. He is
a valuable member of society. He would
make excellent fish bait. He is going to
war, but he does not know which side he
will fight on. He can't tell until he sees
which uniform is most becoming to his
complexion.
OLD WILLIAM ALLEN AT HoME.-A cot
respondent who called on "Old William
Allen - was surprised to see him enter the
parlor in long students gown. The ex-
Governor explained that it is his regular
