Passanante. the Italian Assassin.

The dagger of the assassin Passa-
mantle was hidden in the folds of small
red flag bearing the words: " ViUa la Re
p1blica Uniyersdle." When he made the
attack on King Humbert, the King swung
round his sheathed sword and struck
him with it on the head. Passanante
returned to the attack, when the Queen
cried out: "Signor Carroll, save the
Kingp SignOr Carroll at once threw
himself between the King and the assas-
sin, and caught the latter by the hair.
He received u thrust from Passanante's
dagger, but still held on to him till a
municipal guard, named Giannettini,
secured him. The struggle between
Signor Carroll and the assassin was very
desperate, but the whole affair was over
in few minutes. The cortege proceed
ed on its way, and the Kings aspect was
so calm, and that of Signor Carroll so
smiling, that nobody suspected what had
happened. On reaching the palace the
Minister'S wound was bound and leeches
and ice applied. The King visited
Giannettini, the brave municipal guard,
and promoted him to the rank of SER
geant. Passanante informed his exami
ners that his intention was to
finish King Humbert, and, if he had had
money enough to buy revolver, he
would have succeeded. He had no per-
sonal feeling against the King or the
Government He intended assassination
rs a means toward universal republic.

When the streets are as muddy as yes
terday, the cars are full of ladies COM
ing and going, and the trick played by
man yesterday on the fourteen ladies
in Woodward avenue car should be
frowned upon by every true citizen. If
again attempted, he may get himself
into trouble. He boarded the car with
rubber shoe in his pocket big enough
to fit over No. cowhide boot, and, at
proper moment, when all eyes were
turned upon the car switching past, he
dropped the rubber on the floor and
then Suddenly pretended to see it..
Bending over and picking it up he
called out:
(which of you ladies lost this rub
ber?"
Every face turned pale at the size of
it, and each lady gave the other a sly
glance.
"Some one in this car lost this rub
ber!" continued the human hyena, as
he waved it around.
Not lady moved. Each one won
dered if one of her rubbers had dropped
off, but her mind was made up to wade
in mud two feet deep before claiming
that one.
"The owner can have it charge
nothing for my services calmly OBJ
served the fiend, as he looked down one
side of the car and up the other.
Net hand was raised, but all feet
were drawn under the seat, as if by
machinery.
"Very well" said the man, as he rose
up to leave the car. I'm rubber
shoe ahead. 1t won't do the loser any
good to call at my Office, or to send a
boy and basket after this shoe, for 1
won't give it up."-Detroit Free Press.

What an Advertisement Can Accomplish.


In Paris, last summer, saw friend
of mine who had just come over using q
pen of peculiar construction, designed
with special reference to those untidy
persons who, like myself, ink their fin
gers when they write. Now, my friend
is man whose hands are as white as
lilies, with finger-nails like rosebuds in
tint; noticeable hands, even remarka-
BILE, considering that he is an elderly
man, and one who occasionally helps
with the lighter work on his farm in Ne
braska. Catch him mixing his fingers !
"Why, where did you get that nice
penn" / asked him, vista of blissful
exemption from an unmarked middle
finger opening on my joyous, expectant
mind.
"In Omaha" he answered. Its the
incest thing; 1 used to ink my fingers
before 1 got it p"
He did! He linked his fngersl That
was enough for me. 1 got the name of
the merchant from whom he bought the
pen, the price of it, and, inclosing the
money, l sent from Paris to Omaha for
that pen.
BY the last steamer it came to me.
There had been little delay. The sta
toner at Omaha was out of them, but
he sent up to Sioux City to the man that
advertises them for another lot. And
now here is where the laugh comes in
The pens are an English invention, and
tons of them can be bought in London
if desired. At the stationer's next door
/ could have got what had sent after
to Sioux City. But how could know
that? dealt with the man that adver-
tised.-Lo1adOn letter to Cincinnati

stood In the Garden City
When the evening sun was set,
And the air was sweet with roses
And the breath of the mignonette,
And watched in the arch of heaven.
In the east, the south. and north,
The hands of the angels hanging
The glowing night-lamps forth.
Behind me lay the city,
With its endless rush and roar;
And heard at my feet the murmur
OF the waters upon the shore.
Far out upon the water
The steamers shrek heard,
And the broad sails of the schooner
F1apped like giant bird.
Then a meteor swept above me
With train of lurid light.
Like the CLEAN from a mighty furnace
Athwart the gloom of night.
And 1 called to mind the legend,
How that each was fire brand
Hurled by the sentinel angels
That on heavens ramparts stand.
And out of the darkened heavens
Another meteor flew,
And deeper into my pulses
The weird, wild legend drew,
Till a spell came DER my fancy,
Fell silence upon my lips,
And the air seemed filled with armies
And fleets of battle-ships.
Above the din of the city,
And above the waves on the shore,
heard the aerial tumult,
The rout, the rush, the roar.
saw the glittering squadrons
Wheel into close array.
Meath their cloudy ensigns blazoned
With the brightness of the day;
And 1 watched their fiery missiles
As they Missed along the sky,
TIL an aching sense of languor
Fell upon ear and eye
Till the moon low in the heavens
Hung like golden horn,
And breeze from the east came laden
With the message of the mora.
