How Dore Was Once RopDea.

Here is little anecdote about poor
Dore. One day at Ischi peasants
wedding gave him the idea of an ex-
quisitely pretty sketch. On finishing
the drawing he closed his album, put it
in the pocket of his paletot, and walked
home to his hotel. After the dinner
the album had disappeared, neither the
host nor the walters knew anything
about it. Dore went to bed furious. In
the morning he received aparcel and an
anonymous letter to the following effect !:
"Sir: Knowing you would not sell your
album, L robbed you of it (that last
sketch of yours being quite irrestible),
but in order that you should not take
me for common thief, L beg your ac-
ceptance of the accompanying travel
er's staff" Dore opened the parcel. It
contained cane with gold head in
crusted with precious stones-reallv q
princely gift. He was never able to as
certain the name of the donor. Lon

.Esthetic COMhOys.

Cowboys have their love of the beau
tiful in revolvers, if in nothing else.
This is apparent from an experience of
the Colts Arm Manufacturing Company,
of Hartford. Two cowboys of Wyom-
ing asked for estimates of the cost of
worevolvers of elaborate workmanship.
The Hartford Post states that "from
the designs furnished the stock of each
revolver must be of pearl, horse and
rider chased in gold on one side, and
heavily-draped woman and birds, in the
same precise metal, on the other side.
The barrel and working parts of each
are also to be heavily chased and inlaid
with gold, SO much so, in fact, that the
steel of the revolver is to be nearly hid
den from sight by the gold figures. The
butt of each revolver is to be of solid
silver, elegantly chased. At the least
calculation each revolver, made accord
ing to the designs furnished, but with
out the gold filing, would cost $50, and
with the gold filling, $500. The only
revolver ever made by the company in
any way similar to these designs was for
the founder of the company, Col. Sam
uel Colt, and was placed on exhibition
by him at the great London EXPOSE
ton"
