Col. Michael BOland, OF Kentucky.
recently related to n reporter in New York
a story which illustrates the ready Irish
tongue. He was with the advance guard
OF Sheridan In the valley OF Shenandoah.
The soldiers in his command became en-.
gagged In a ~close-quarter fight in the woods.
They ran out OF ammunition, and he went
back and brought them new supplies. As
he was dealing IL out the bullets were
flying uncomfortably around him. One
ball struck a man named Kelly, n native
Of the Green isle, just as the colonel was
handing him some cartridges. He was
knocked senseless, and Boland thought he
was dead. But there was something about
his appearance that made Boland run his
hand down where the bullet had struck.
The touch showed that there wns no blood
flowing, and the colonel pursued the in
vestigation further. The noise made by
the striking bullet was as IL IL had hit a
button. Inside the mans breast pocket he
found a set OF three-card monte cards.
They had the bullet imbedded In them.
Kelly began TO come 20 and was soon able
to sit up. The colonel knew him for an
old sport. He handed the man the cards
and showed him the bullet, remarking:
THE cards have saved your life"
The lrishman looked dazedly at the
bullet for n moment, and then as his mind
became clearer, he replied in great excite
ment:
Heaven help mel II II had been a prayer.

In a waiting-room were three or four
fond mamma and papas and their mum.
erous direct descendants of both sexes.
The children were all restless-what child
ever was not in a waiting-room-and there
were many narrow escapes from bad falls
and bumps, the inevitable casualties OF
climbing and romplng. AT last one of the
youngsters fell of a seat and struck his
poor little head against the stove, removing
a square inch or so Of epidermis from his
face. He was Immediately picked up by
his papa, his tears wiped away and a piece
Of court-plaster carefully moistened on the
p%aternal tongue and applied to the in
jured part. Then he was lifted to his an
cestor's shoulders and passed bodily
through the ticket window into the arms
Of the ticket agent, who was the papa's
brother.
"Oh, ma" exclaimed another youngster,
evidently from the country, who had
watched all the proceedings with open

The intense mock dignity OF the barn
storming tragedian is a familiar subject OF
jest, but l defy anybody to caricature It,
for 1t IA itself an exaggeration that no
description or picture can increase. The
old fashioned actor OF this type has become
30 thoroughly impregnated by the artin-
ciality of his calling that nothing unaf-
fected remains in him. 1t was one OF these
who strobe up and down past n Union
Square chop house, with his dented silk
hat newly polished, his long hair dank
with oil, and n Embroidered overcoat flap
ping its broad checks in a manner that
doubtless had awed many a hamlet. One
hand was covered by n glove, and care
lessly dangled its mate, while the other
hand. thrust negligently into his-hreast,
broke off bits OF n doughnut there con
cealed, and occasionally conveyed them
slyly to his mouth. why don't you retire
to obscurity for luncheon" said a friend,
upon whom it was useless to waste his arts
OF subterfuge; what makes you stalk in
this thronged square munching your 5
cent banquet"
MY professional experience has
taught me- the actor replied, in a deep
bass voice "thnt many Of the pleasures of
life depend upon imagination. Fool thy
self is the right motto. Make yourself
believe that you are happy, and you nre
happy. Hereis a chop house. The grill is
right in the window, with a thick, juicy
cut Of mutton sizzling over the fire The
sight OF 1t costs nothing; neither does the
scent Of the savory Wand; all but the net
ual meat is mine. My trained, artistic
imagery supplies the lack. At the present
moment, my dear friend" and the old fell
low transferred a pinch Of the doughnut to
his lips, Il I'm eating that chop."-"Uncle

At the annual meeting OF the Young
Mems Democratic club, OF Brooklyn, Gen.
H. w. Slocum responded to the sentiment
"The Day we Celebrate" In ~eulogizing
Washington and Lincoln he related some
"reminiscences OF the latter illustrative
OF the difficulties he had to labor under.
When Gen. Slocum was ordered to the
west he called on Mr.. Lincoln to pay his
respects before leaving Washington. Mr..
Lincoln reminded him that the last time
he heard from the general he was COM
PEELED to perform the most painful duty
In his experience. Mr.. Lincoln had sent a
dispatch to Gen. Slocum directing that a
man condemned to death should not be
executed. In replying, Gen. Slocum had
to inform the president that the man had
already been shot. THAT Dispatch said
Mr.. Lincoln, Il had to read to the mother
and sister OF the man In this room."-New

eous Applause of Her Hearers.
l visited Louise Michel at her home a
few days ago and found her living in three
rooms, rent free, in the third story of an
old tenement house in Levallois- PerNt, a
suburb Of Paris. Hooked for some Of the
sweet, benevolent expressions, but saw IN
stead a coarsely-clad woman of about 40
years, with a very strong, masculine face,
a huge nose and very high. ugly forehead.
Her voice, instead of being melihuous to
any ravishing degree, is II monotonons
drone or whine. During the terrible com
mune Louise Michel, like a counterfeit
Jeanne dare, was at the head Of the fight
ers, urging them to murder and rapine,
and when the fire companies brought their
engines to play upon the conflagration Of
the magnificent Tuileries, Louise Michel
shouted, Capture those engines and
throw petroleum on the fire with them in
stead of waterl Burn the city, for it does

of whom paid half a franc 90 cents) ad-
mission. There were about 600 persons
there, filling the small hall to its utmost
capacity, while among the listener in the
gallery were a number of well-dressed
ladies, The audience was composed, for
the most part, Of working men, and l
noticed the absence Of what, in America,
are known as ~toughs." The silence OF a
church p%ervaded the hall, except when
the speaker reached a period In her
breathless monotone. Then the APP

in a continuous drawl, an i%nsinuating mo-
notone that contained n weird magnetism
aside from she sense OF what she was say
ing. She never raised her voice, n never
g~esticulated except with her forearms and
hands, while holding her elbows close to
her sides. She dresses in mourning for
the recent death Of her mother, and her
black veil heightened the effect of her
weird and dangerous speech as she rallied
her followers to prepare for the revolution
Of anarchy which she predicted, and she
pointed approyingly to the London riots
and the French miners riots and the
organizations of Socialism throughout

The greatest obstacle in the way Of the
successful stacking Of our waters with
game fish, Mr.. Green says, is the ignorance
OF people in the matter, and their persist
epce in placing fish in water not suited to
them. Brook trout win live and thrive
only in clear, cold water, where the
temperature never gets higher than 20
degrees. Cold, clear, deep lakes are neces-
sary for salmon-trout, which requires the
purest water OF any fish that swims. The
~tenacity Of fish in improper water has
been tested by Mr.. Green by placing
s~almon-trout, brook trout, grayling, and
California brook trout in a large
aquarium. AS the temperature of the
water rose, the salmon died before it
reached IA degrees; next the brook trout
died, then the grayling, followed in order
by the California mountain trout, the
kennebeck salmon, and then the Cali
fornia salmon. The ~salmon-trout had been
dead twelve hours before any Of the others
died, about four hours interviewed between
the death Of the others. This demonstrates
that fall-spawning fish require clear,
cold water.-Kansas City Journal.
