GRACE DARLING.

The name of Grace Darling will never be
forgottenin England, though it is now (18S5)
forty-seven years since herpretty name rang
through England as the heroine of ii deed of
true courage. Grace Darling was the daugh-
ter of William Darling, keeper of the
lighthouse on the Longstone,, one of the
Farne islands, off the coast of Northumber-
land-a wild, d~esOlate, dangerous place,
where the screams of sea-fowl and the roar
of the waves rushing between the rocky
islands are the chief sounds to be heard.
Grace lived with her parents in this lonely
spot. She was a gentle and retiring girl,

MARX rwarN,s WAY.
How He Told n Neighbor that His
House was ON Fire.

Kansas City Times.
The Rev. ]. Hyatt Smith knows more
stories about more people than 10 average
citizens. Among them he relates this
When | was living with my brother in
Buffalo, Mark Twain occupied cottage
across the street. We didn't see very
much of him, but one morning, as we
were enjoying our cigars on the veranda
after breakfast, we saw Mark come to his
door in his dressing gown and slippers
and look over at us. i Us +
He stood at his door and smoked for a
minute, as is making up his mind about
something, and at last opened his gate
and came lounging across the street.
There was an unoccupied rocking chair
on the veranda, and when my brother
offered it to him he dropped into it with
a sigh of relief. He smoked for few
moments and said;
''Nice morning" sF
Yes, very pleasant"
"Shouldn't wonder If we had rain by
and by
''Well, we could stand little"
"rhis is n nice house you have here"
"fes, we rather like it,"
"How's your family?"
"Qnite well-and yours? ~
SO, we're all comfortable"
There was another impressive silence,
and finally Mark Twain crossed his legs,
blew puff of smoke into the air, and in
his lazy dTawl remarked: II suppose
you're little surprised to see me over
here SO early. Fact is, haven't been so
neighborly, perhaps, as l ought to be.
We must mend that state of things.
But this morning came over because |
thought You might be interested in know
ing that your roof is on fire. 1t struck
me that it would be good idea if
But at the mention of fire the whole
FIRMLY busted upstairs, trailing language
all the way up. When we had put the fire
out and had returned to the veranda Mark
| wasn't there.

A Missouri tentcnar;an.

Macon county, Mo-, boasts of citizen
who has reached the age of 119 years.
Robert Gibson was born in Randolph
county, N. g., in l7G7, and consequently
was nearly 10 years of nge when the
Declaration of Independence was signed
In 1898 he married and moved 10 Waync
county, KY, and in 1909 moved to st.
Charles county, Mo-, which was then in
the western territory of Louisiana. In
1920 he moved to Macon county, where
he has since resided. Mr.. Gibson has
married twice, his first wife dying in 1S4O
and his second in 1876. by his first wife
he had III children, - of whom ARE still
alive, the eldest now living being S3 years
of age. His descendants number nearly
400, and extend to the fifth generation.
Mr.. Gibson, although very feeble in
body, is bright and clear in mind and
conyerses quite easily, though slowly.
Tie is able to walk around, with good use
of his arms and hands, and can attend Ia
his own wants, with the exception that he
is nearly blind and can only discern
large objects. In habit Mr.. Gibson is
quite temperate, chewing tobacco but not
smoking it. He has never tnsted whisky
in his life.

Lawn-Tennis Championship.

St James Gaz tia, July II.
The title OF lawn-tennis champion for
the year remains still with W. Renshaw,
who yesterday scored decisive and not n
very hard-won victory over the best of
the challengers. The names of the lead
ing plnyers-the brothers Renshaw, Law
ford, Browne and Stewart-are now
pretty familiar to all who boast even
superficial acquaintance with the game !;
but very few spectators anticipated so
close struggle between the four who
most distinguished themselves last week
Judging by the play ON Thursday, which
corresponds pretty accurately with the
play ut Dublin in May last, Ernest REM
shaw is slightly but Enthusiastically Inferior
to Lawford, whom he met in the final
round. The matches played by him on
Monday and Wednesday last week seem to
show that he isalso slightly but perceptibly
better than Stewart and Browne. But the
difference of merit between these four is
so small that whenever any one of them
meets any other the play is pretty sure to
be, as it was last week, of the most excit-
ing character. Lawn-tennis is now, in
one respect at least, vindicating its right
to claim family likeness to real tennis.
The title of champion once gained is, in
the one case as in the other, likely TO be
long retained, and n start got by one
player is not made up by the others
without an immense deal of exertion.
Lawford was known to have been practis-
ing very steadily for this years COMPETE
ton and in point of condition he was
certainly superior to all he had to meet.
But in style and finish the champion still
holds his own, and seems now quite as
unlikely MS ever to be deprived of his
hOnors
