A Touch of Pafhos.

There is fine touch Of pathos in the
story of little Max Schwartz, 10-year-old
sufferer from hip disease, who, when
the fire broke out recently in the Hospital
for Ruptured and Crippled Children in
this city, saved bed ridden deaf and
dumb boy, Johnny Burke, aged years.
Here is the story Of brave little Max as
told to reporter, and in the reading of it
one feels almost transported to the pages
of Dickens: 81 smelt der smoke and l
seed the flames shinin', and then looked
over Mt Johnny and motioned to him to
come along. Johnny, he's deaf and dumb,
but I'm used to his ways and he knowed
what wanted. Johnny's lame, too, and
/ seed him sink back on his bed, which
is side of mine, and when / see him
kind of fall back and look as if IL was all
up with him, / says TO myself: Johnny,
you an me been friends and | amt going
to leave you; it's your life or mine;' so /
just seized his night gown by the collar
with my teeth and dragged him along to
the door. My brace broke and my leg
began to hurt pretty bad, but made mo-
tions to him TO get on my back and he
did, and l crawled along with him to the
door and began to go down stairs, but my
brace broke again and swung round an
knocked me over, and just then as / was
fallin', / seed pceler and grabbed his
club, and just saved me and Johnny from
going down head first. / knowed I'd
done all | could then, and the peeler he
took US down. THE Epoch.

Danseuse Behind the Scenes.

Now let us view the ballet from be-
hind the scenes. Here is danseuse who.
with radiant smiles, passes from the
foyer, dashes on to the stage, which she
traverses in four revolving leaps, executes
pas before the footlights, salutes the
public most winningly amidst thunder
of applause, and turns TO walk up the
stage toward the wings" And the
moment that her back is turned TO the
public the smile vanishes, her face be-
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she
passes us we sec that she is painting for
breath and bathed in perspiration. And
by the time she has finished dancing she
will be SO worn out that she will scarcely
have strength enough left TO crawl up
stairs to her dressing room, where she
will need to be rubbed down and tended
like an overtaxed race horse. This is the
reality, the reverse OK the medal -Theo-
dore Child in The Cosmopolitan.

Some years ago George d. Wise, now
one of the Virginia representatives In the
house, payfuKy called Riddleberger =
blanked liar In the columns Of Rich
mond newspaper, and Riddleberger
straghtaway sent q challenge. To show
the bloodthirstiness of the man when
angered, he sent a challenge TO Editor
Beisne that same day, and he arranged to
fight the two duels on the same afternoon.
Wise chose pistols for weapons, and the
meeting was at o'clock p. m, I'm q
clump of woods few miles from Rich
mond, and SO near the residence of the
judge Of the county that he could hear
the shots.
At the first fire Wise's pistol did not go
off, and Riddleberger's ball flew wide of
the mark. Wise then handed his pistol
to his second and told him there was
something the matter with 1t. The ball
was drawn, the pistols reloaded and the
combatants took second fire. At this
time Wise's bali cut Riddleberger's coat
tail, but Riddleberger's shot again wasted
itself on the air Riddleberger reached
down his hand and looked at the place
where the ball had gone through his $40
coat. He then raised his hand and
scratched his head. lie was evidently
annoyed. He thought moment, still
scratching, and then, to Wises surprise,
he seized the pistol by the barrel and
threw it ms far as he could into the bushes.
He then threw out both arms, and walk
ing half ways toward Wise, held out his
hand and intimated that he thought they
had better settle the matter in other ways.
Wise replied that he had nothing To com
plain of and, il Riddleberger was satisfied,
he was, and so the duel ended. Frank G..
