frienl in this city, puts himself very de-
cfdedly on record as having no further am
bition in a political direction. He says.
your friendly letter and its pleasant in
closure made an agreeable break in the
intending round of work. The assurances
you write, especially that of your unchanged
friendship, are sincerely appreciated. The
occasion for putting to political test the feel
ings of others has passed, but it is none the
less satisfaction to believe that extrava-
CANT assault has not gained enduring ground
MIR was very good to express the
thought yeu mention, but no such thought
is mine. My impression is, that for You and
me it is quite as well to be no nearer the
springs of politics than we are now. That
some serious events are not distant j believe
and it seems to me they have been rendered
more serious by action and sentiment which
have seemed to me unfortunate. Which
party may gain most from the unsettling
which is going on is matter of less concern
and reflection than hoEys.the country and its
people may be affected In respect of this

Hn1U tn Eat Macarnni-

At a crowded table d'hote on the west side
a reporter was seated opposite a French
gentleman whose repast had progressed as far
as macaroni. After polite salutation and
few words as to the weather the French
gentleman said:
"One of re most breelyont writaires has said
zat ze man who will deliberately cut up hees
salad would murder hees grandmozaire. It
ees equally true zat ze man who will chop up
his macaroni ees capable of any wat you call
atroceetee. Zare ees only one way to eat ze
macaroni.n
Thereupon the French gentleman tucked
the edge of his napkin within his collar and
enveloped his body in the linen SO far as was
possible. Then he inserted his fork in the
middle of the portion of macaroni and twisted
it around till he was able to raise to his mouth
sufficient of the food to establish a connection
between himself and his plate, and having
securely established such connection he disen-
gagged the fork with a dexterous twirl and
lowered it to the main body of macaroni, at
the same time beginning mastication, ac-
companied by an indrawing of the breath,
which had a persuasive effect on the inter
vening column of nutriment, and needed to
be supplemented only by a slight urging and
pricking up with the fork to make the ascent
constant, process which was continued, with
an expression of the utmost satisfaction on
the part of the partaker, till the entire portion
of food had assembled to his lips even to the
final length, which disappeared in a manner
suggestive Of the vanishing of bell cord in
passenger car when coupling link breaks
Then the French gentleman took dry
shampoo in his napkin and, with a triumph
ant look, accompanied by the characteristic
gesture of his people, he said:

Lady wi1de,s Eccentric wavs.

Marshall P. Wilder, who recently returned
from London, speaks of Lady Wilde as being
even more eccentric than her two sons Her
receptions are attended by the most prominent
people in London, and are much sought after.
She receives her guests seated upon a throne,
with Oscar on her right hand and Willie on
her left Every now and then, in nnploring
tones, Willie will address his mother, "Mother,
do you love mep Then Oscar takes up the
strain, "Mother, do you love your OscarYD
Then they will shake hands all around.
Lady Wilde, though quite advanced in
years, viii insist upon wearing her dresses
very decollete and pinned at the breast with a
brooch containing the picture of her late la
mented husband. This brooch, the day Mr..
Wilder dined with them, would insist upon

room is most peculiar in the design of its dec

represent water, the walls being decorated in

island in the middle of the room. The glass
and china are equally unique, the dishes and
plates representing various fishes, and the
glasses shells. The tables are waited upon by
young girls in peasant costumes.-C Chicago

ABOUT REJECTED MANUSCRIPT.

Funny Story Concerning a Couple of
Poems-yalus of Perseverance,
1t stands to reason that the experienced
writer who has outgrown any morbidity that
can be produced by a rejected manuscript i'm
mediately tears off the wrapper upon its re-
turn, readdresses it and sends it once more
upon the road. The result is very apt to be
satisfactory. Mrs. Clara Doty Bates tells a
dummy story of the fate Of two of the first
poems she ever sent for publication They
were forwarded to religious magazines stimuli
taneously, and simultaneously they returned,
SO she reversed the addresses and sent them
away again They were both accepted, and
brought so apiece. Many professional writ
ers keep a book, and under the name Of each
article write the list of magazines to which it
has been sent, that they may not forward it
twice to the same editor, and then keep it
going till it finds a resting place.
There is one writer of this city who has
tried a daring game with marked success.
When a manuscript which his Judgment told
him was really good was rejected by favor
ite paper, he kept it quietly awhile and then,
trusting to the forgetfulness of the editor,
sent it back again. A happier mood, or a
better dinner, or one of those mysterious
chances which govern the fate of manuscripts
conspired to its acceptance.
Any magazine of high position is much af
fronted if it receives an article which it dis
covers to have been rejected by some rival
periodical Most of them. and it may be all

then it can Afound upon the leaves of a re-
turned manuscript The experienced contrib
utor knows this and never sends manuscript
away a second time without first carefully
examining the pages. The fact that one edi-
tor rejects and another accepts an article, it
should be borne in mind, is no reflection on
the Judgment of either. What is in keeping
with the tone OF one publication is quite un-
suited to another. 1t is a mistaken idea too
TO suppose that magazine editors viii not take
a manuscript unless it bears the name of a

PLAYERS HARD TO PLEASE.

An Umpire Tells What He Knows About
Chronic Baseball Kickers.
Now the science of pitching curved balls
has been carried so far that it is often diff
cult to decide whether the ball has actually
gone over the plate or not AS it leaves the
pitchers hands the ball may look as if it was
going many inches to one side or the other.
But Just before it reaches the plate it curves
inward or outward, as the case may be
and shoots over the plate just where the
batter wanted it 1t may deceive the batter
until too late, it may even deceive the umpire,
but it is almost certain to deceive the out
siders who are not so close to the plate and
have not the same opportunity Of judging.
Suppose you call this strike. If the batter
be one of the visiting team, the crowd re-
ceives your decision with noisy delight. He
kicks, and the crowd hisses him. But if he
belongs to the home club the crowd desire to
kill you and wish you an unpleasant time in
the next world. Or a batsman is running to
first base after hit The ball is fielded and
thrown to the baseman- It is difficult to say
which gets there first, ball or runner. One
impartial man might think the ball was first,
another might think the runner. But the
crowd is not impartial 1t makes up its mind
W Aeo PAOASASASS~', o-AA ~ Jun NS
cision favors the home nine it applauds you,
if not it Kisses you In any event you have
to stand the kicking of the nine who lose by
your decision.
Indeed, one Of the worst enemies OF the um-
pire is the kicking player. In most instances
it is he who gives the audience the cue for
kicking. There are players, OF course, who
never say word or make move that would
lead the audience to believe they were dis
satisfied with the umpires rulings. But I
know others who recognize the fact that an
umpire may be 'rattled" by the hooting of
spectators, and so deliberately raise dis
turbance with that object in view.
Others, again, are chronic kickers, who can
not help giving vent to their feelings in the
excitement of the moment, and who, after the
game, are repentant and beg the umpire's
pardon for their conduct have often been
asked: "Why don't you fine such men?" Well,
an old ball player doesn't like to be hard on
his former brethren. Besides, even if he does
overcome his reluctance, he cannot be sure
that the fine will be paid The club to which
the player belongs does not always, not even
usually, take the part of the umpire. Instead
of exacting the penalty, they often do their
best to remove the offending umpire from his
position.-Joseph J. Ellick in Lppincott's.
