The Hotel Porter's Story.

Unless the man happens to be rich
and has travelled about a good deal he
will never 90 to the clerk for informa-
ton. The average hotel guest will
stop bell boy, or bootblack, or go
to the newsstand for information first,
or, as is most likely, come to me. The
other day ayoung dudish-looking thing
came in here with an umbrella cover
on him for Newmarket, and after
waiting around for awhile stepped up
to my baggage book while Ihad turned
my back. l had seen him before; in
fact knew him-but not personally, he
was new reporter. SO asked one of
the guests whom knew to 90 up 10 him
and tell the dude to send for his bag
gage. He did it fine. The young
dude turned to him with an awful face
and said he didn't know anything
about any baggage. The guest replied
indignantly-he made out he was in
dignant-'I don't want any of your
impudence. You are tie porter here
and l want my baggage Well, sir,
there wasn't room enough for the dude
to get out. He ran against the col
umns and over the chairs and into the
spittoons. The last L saw of him he
was trying to open a storm door the
wrong way. &c Chicago Herald.

Girls in ROuniania.

Roumania is famous for the facility
of its divorce and the laxity of its NOR
ais. 1t is, however, not so generally
known that the usage of the laxest So
ciety in Europe imposes the severest
restraints upon the innocent social in
tercourse between the young of both
sexes. A lady writing to US from
Bucharest sends us the following dis
NAL account OF the way in which the
Roumanian Mrs. Grundy tyrannizes ov-
er the unmarried woman: Girls have
very little liberty here. If gentleman
is seen dancing more than twice during
the same evening with young lady,
he is as much compromised as the I'M
happy maiden herself, and Immediate
ly bounced upon by score of relatives
demanding his attentions. No CONVEX
sation can take place between the
young couples, as, directly after the
dance, the gentleman must trot his
partner back to the maternal wing. 4
young girl is allowed to have little or
no intercourse with men, and a harm
less Irritation would be ruinOus to her
reputation in Bucharest. How can a
girls mind develop under these and
the accompanying circumstances? No
wonder she accepts the first offer of
marriage as a means of emancipating
herself; neither is it astonishing that
men never trouble themselves TO talk
for any length of time to an unmarried
lady" As might be expected, this
system of restriction is very far indeed
from leading to morality.

The Caricaturists.

The story that Mast has life con-
tract for SO, 600 year with the Har-
pers is authentic. He is rich, comfort
able and happy. He has beautiful
home; his house is described at length
in the March Lippincott's Magaz5ne
and his home life is delightful. His
position is perfectly assured. He has
accomplished greater work than any
other caricaturist who has ever lived.
His reputation is fixed high. 1t can
make no difference to him if circum-
stances have made his relations 20 his
paper anomalous. If he chose, ne
could break his contract and use
his pencil elsewhere. If he chooses
TO draw a princely salary for doing lii
tie or nothing it is nobody's affair.
What career Mast has had COM
pared with other caricaturists Thorn
as Gillray, after getting ali England by
the ears, died of delirium tremens.
Hogarth's death was undoubtedly
brought about by his controversy with
Charles Churchill, the poet, and be-
cause he could not convince people
that he was greater as Il historical
painter than as caricaturist. George
Cruikshank's life was also EN- Uttered
by similar notion. He thought his
etchings were mere trfies, but that his
oil paintings were great. So they were
in size, but the great etcher had little
idea of color or composition.
Robert Seymour committed icide
He was the man 10 whose great vogue
Dickens was indebted for the first sue
cess of ''PickWick" the novelist hay
ing been employed TO write up to"
the artists etchings. Seymour had q
controversy with Gilbert Abbott a.
Beckett. the author of the comic history
of England, which John Leach illus
trated, and he also had dispute with
Dickens over "Pickwick,n and being
nervous and sensitive he went out and
killed himself Richard Doyle looked
forward to a great career on Punch,
but the position that journal took tow
ard Pope Pho Nino made him withdraw
and lose the opportunity for wide fame
and popularity which he had sought.
John Leech lived and died poor-as
Cruikshank did. Matt Morgan's I'M
timely picture of the Prince of Wales
as Hamlet, following the ghost of the
roue George w., and the even more of
fensive Brown Study" with the bare
legged gillie leaning on the throne,

England to a precarious and bohemian
existence in America. though he is now
settled down and doing well at the
head of a pottery in Cincinnati, and as
designer of lithograph work.
In France, Cham" died an unhappy
death two years ago. Poor Gavarni,
the truest artist, except Leech, among
the caricaturists, was in prison for
debt more than once. His latter days
were embittered by the death of his
only son, Jean, whom he adored; and
to cap all the house in which he had
hoped 10 die was taken from him and
"HauSsmanized'' from the face of the
earth. Even in Germany the caricatur-
lists have had hard lot, the most noted
instance being the father OF MAX and
Maurice" On the whole the lot of
caricaturists has been no more JOYOUS
than that of the famous clown who was
told to 90 and see himself as cure for
his melancholy. Philadelphia Press

Rebecca Wright, then a YOUNG

Rebecca Wright, then a young Qua
ker girl, gave Gen. Phil. Sheridan the
first information that induced him to
attack and capture Winchester. Sher-
idan rewarded her first with ''all the
FIRE sh beef she wanted" and afterwards
rot her a place in the Treasury Depart
ment, which she subsequently resigned
TO marry Quaker named Bonsail.
Sheridan swore that she was entitled
to pension, and Simon Cameron ex-
pressed the opinion that Gen. Sheridan
should have married her.
In Russia they consider Bismarck an
unsatisfactory man to 60 bear-hunting
with, because he kills all the bears and
gives no one else chance. The Chan
Cellor once set out from st. Petersburg
with halt n dozen Roman mobiles. On
their return one of the latter was
asked "Wen, how did you fareP"
Badly" he replied. "The first bear
came running towards us, the Prussian
shot, and Bruin fell down. A second
bear advanced; | shot and missed, but
Bismarck shot and killed him. Then
the third bear broke through the
wood; Colonel M shot twice and
missed each time. Then the Prussian
shot that bear also. Thus he shot
three bears, and AFTERWARDS we did not
meet another. So badly we Jared, lit

The Value of a Fence.

During the battle of Chickamauga.
General Wood. commanding a division,
in making change of position on the
left near Rossville, suddenly found
himself in command of only single
brigade. with the Confederate in full
sight in his front and already begin
ming movement to flank his position.
His division had been badly cut up and
demcralized, and he was at that NOM
ent without single piece of artillery.
The brigade stood between the Confed-
crate right and the road to Chattanoo-
ga. Let them flank or crush this bril-
gade and they were on the flank of the
Federal line of battle.
Wood realized the situation, and,
although outnumbered three to one, he
determined to be wiped out right there
rather than give way. He had fair cover
in the shape OF fences, walls, and stand
ing timber, and TO reach him the Con-
federates must cross an open valley.
Across the center of this valley ran 8
fence, o portion OF which stands there
to-day. 1t was mostly OF stone, with
heavy logs resting on top. Wood sud-
denly realized that if he could secure
and hold the fence he could make his
inferior force match for the enemy
preparing to move.
The Confederate commander saw the
value of the position at the same NOM
ent, and it was a question of which
side should get there 1irst. On the
Federal side it rested with the One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth Ohio, that
regiment being nearest the fence.
When ordered forward the men gripped
their muskets at a trail" pulled down
their caps, and lowered their heads,
and at the word they rushed as if
breasting a hailstorm. More than one
poor fellow went down under the rain
of bullets and fragments of shell. but
the fence was reached and cover OBJ
tanned. The Sixty-fourth, Sixty-ffth,
and Fifty-eighth Indiana followed, and
the whole brigade were scarcely under
cover when the Confederates were
within stones throw. They had to give
back before the terrible fire, and for a
time were badly demoralized. Before
thev could flank Wood out of his posi-
ton the gap in the Federal lines had
been filled.-DetyOH Free Press.

Bennett'a Early Writing.

James Gorden Bennett, in 1928, when
in his Both year, became the Washington
correspondent of the New York Enquirer
which was then on the topmost round OF
the journalistic ladder. 1t is related OF
him that during his stay in this position
he came across a copy of "Walpols's Let.
ters," and r~esolved4to try the effect of a
few letters in a similar strain. The truth
of this is doubtful. 1t is more probable
than the natural talents of the man
were now unfettered. and he wrote with
out fear of censorship and with all the
ease which a sense of freedom inspires.
He was naturally witty, sarcastic and
sensible. These letters, however, origi-
mated, were undoubtedly a great hit.
They were lively; they abounded in per-
sonal illusions, and they described freely
not only senators but the wives and
daughters of senators. This sort ofthing
was a novelty then. The descriptions Of
toilets, the cravats of the president, and
the hunting saddle of his niece, tickled
not only the fools but also the wiser PEG.

anne letters established Mr.. Benefits
reputation as a light lance among the
host of writers, and he found a ready
sale for the poetry adj the love stories
which flowed from his pen during his

BILIOUSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as furred
tongue, vomiting of bile, giddiness,
sick headache, irregular bowels. The
liver s%ecretes the bile and acts like a
filter or sieve, to cleanse impurities
of the blood. BY irregularity in its
action or suspensions of It's functions
the bile is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing jaundice. sallow COM
plexion. yellow eyes, bilious diarrh9a,

other distressing symptoms. Bill
