MEISS0NlER'S BAD MODEL.
The Great Artist IA Victim of the Thie,ish
Tricks of Sorry Fellow.
Paris Letter in Boston Herald.

Not many weeks back Alexander
Tasso, native of Italy, arrived in the
capital of the civilized world" and be-
came a humble servitor Of the art in the
capacity of model to Meissonier For
and in consideration of 9f. a day, this
model man (he was not model of a
mani undertook TO exhibit the classic
outlines of his form for five or six hours
dav in the studio of the famous painter.
One day, however, Tasso disappeared,
but he took away with him souvenirs OF
his soiourn without so much as saying
"By your leave" His selections were
made with judgement, and so last March
he had no difficulty in inducing a Parls
dealer to purchase two sketches by the
master, which he claimed were the prop
erty of an Italian amateur. The dealer
paid 2,250f for the sketches and readily
| disposed of them within the week for
5,500f
In the meantime Tasso had gone to
Monte Carlo where he won $1,000 in one
day and lost it all the next, together with
the rest of his riches. Somehow he got
back to Paris and then he concluded to
part with some more of the souvenirs
which remained to him from his brief
career in the service of the fine arts.
Again he applied to the same dealer and
in the name of the same amateur offered
to dispose of two more sketches by Meis-
sonier-a portrait de femme and NOUS
quetaire-for which he wanted 10000.
The dealer, with more caution than he
had previously exhibited, requested that
the sketches might be left with him for
day before the purchase was made.
This being consented to, the dealer took
them to Goupil, who showed them to
Meissonier, and this Of course led to the
arrest of the thievisb Italian.

child having been charmed by a rattle
snake, as follows "On Saturday last
was working in my kitchen, when was

boy, four years old On asking the cause,
he said; "Oh, mamma, big snake; a
great big snake |" rushed for the door
and imagine my feelings, when, almost
paralyzed with horror, | could only gaze
on the awful sight that met my eyes.
'Ten feet from me, and on the door

boy, 22 months old, gazing, as if fascina-
ted, upon large rattlesnake, which was
coiled in front of him about two feet
away, and was gently moving its head
back and forth, looking at the child
with eyes like flame. My screams
frightened it, and nv daughter, twelve
years of age, ran past me and caught her
little brother out of the way, when the
reptile glided swiftly away. Ny screams
brought my husband and teamster to
the spot, they being but short distance
off unloading quartz at the mill. They
soon killed the snake, but not until
after contest in which the snake
fought well. 1t was nearly four feet

4 MICHIGAN SPO0K.
The Furniture ofs House Waltzes Around
ina Very Astonishing Manner.

Letter 10 the Detroit Post and Tribune.
Reed City, Mich, boasts Of a real old
fashioned haunted-house sensation. An
old house in the east part Of the village
was lately leased and occupied by gem
tleman of this village. Soon after lie oc-
cupied it the family began to be dis
turbed at nights by sounds rs if some
person was walking about the rooms.
This annoyed them greatly, but there
were no violent demonstrations until one
night last week, when they were
awakened by great commotion in the
house. The gentleman got up and at
tempted several times to light the lamp,
but could not do it. lie finally gave up
the attempt and concluded to try and
make an examination in the dark.
While grouping around he would be
seized apparently by a person who at
tempted to throw or push him over. He
finally got hold OF a poker and attempted
to strike with il, but every time failed TO
hit anything material. He repeatedly
attempted to light the lamp, but for some
reason it would not light; and still the
unseen force would seize and attempt 10
push him over. and it would take all Of
his strength to resist
Finally there came a great ClattCr and
noise and every piece Of furniture in the
house seemed to rattle and dance around.
BY this time his wife could not stand it
any longer, so they dressed as best they
could in the dark and started for one OF
the neighbors. As they went out of the
door they heard distinctly the report as
if three pistol shots had been fired in the
cellar. Calling up the neighbor the gen
tleman left his wife in the house and the
two men returned with lantern. They
searched the house and the cellar thor
oughly, but could find nothing that
would explain the cause of the disturb
ance. The effect upon the mans wife
was such that she would not live in the
house, and they have moved into
another dwelling.
The night after these disturbances Il
party of men sat up until morning. They
had lights burning all over the house
and PLAYED an accordeon all night, and
reported the next morning that they did
not hear anything. A great many ride
ulous stories are ahoa' in regard TO this
sensation, but the above were the only
disturbances heard. We have this from
the gentleman himself He does not be-
lieve in ghosts"

A Famous Old House For Rent.

Ford Castle, in Northumberland, Eng
land, around which was fought the fam
GUS fight of Flodden Field, is advertised
to be let, at which antiquairians arc
grievously shocked. This castle is o
great antiquity, though nothing certain
is known of it until 1887, when ii is {
matter of history that extensive repair
were made. Toward the end of the four
teenth century it was partially dis
mantled in n border fray. In 1913 it wa
captured by James ". of Scotland. Thi'
is the date of the true romance of Ford
Castle. King James found that Lady
Heron, wife of the pOssessor of the castle
had remained behind to guard it against
the enemy while her husband was a
prisoner over the border. The king be-
came infatuated with the Lady Heron
ere he had long possessed the place, and
for her sake, II il said refrained from de-
stroying it, 1t was his dallying, say the
historians, that cost King james his aw-
ful fate on Flodden Field. Lady Heron,
il appeared afterward, was in constant
communication with the English general,
Lord :, rroy, who took advantage of the
delay and rushed on to Flodden. The
room occupied by the king is still pre-
served in the old portion of the edifice.
