No Longer a kisser.

Milwaukee special to Chicago Tribune.
General Sherman was somewhat
fatigued by the review, but he was in
the best Of spirits and chatted continu-
ously with General Warner and General
John c.. Anderson, who stood at either
side of him. The head of the column
passed the reviewing stand at 10:40
o'clock, and it was 1910 when the Wis
consin division, occupying the left of
the line, came in sight. The Badgers
prolonged the procession an hour and
ten minutes longer. General sherman
sat down once after standing nearly an
hour, but oon got up again. \ few
minutes later he called for a chair, and
reviewed the balance of the procession
sitting.
son, solicitously.
80, no. l find it hard work standing,
though"
"You are old, jocularly returned Gen
eral Anderson with a wink in his eye;
you'll be o old for the girl pretty
soon" Old Tecumseh, whose spare brown
hair shows hardly a gray thread, though
his closely cropped beard is snowy
white, gazed a moment at the white
haired veteran at his side.
Lets see; you must be over 100 your
self now" he retaliated.
But the rumor has gone forth that
General Sherman has lost his ambition
for kissing pretty girls. A murmur of
wonderment swept across the grand
stand when he missed the opportunity
OF his life today. AS pretty a girl as any
N could desire 10 kiss came across the
street through the lines at some peril
to herself, bearing a silver decanter of
ice water. She was clad in a becoming
costume of red, white and blue, anu the
national colors were reflected in her
cheeks and eyes. A soldier CALAMITY
helped her up the stairs, and thousands
watched Old Tecumseh as he drank the
refreshing and welcome draught and
then thanked the maiden for her cour-
tesy. The crowd waited breathlessly TO
bee her receive the guerdon of merit,
the fatherly kiss which Old Tecumseh
is won to bestow with fatherly readi-
ness, but he did nothing of the kind.
Perhaps he didn't think of it, but the
crowd did, and was intensely disap-
pointed. Perhaps the young lady was,

NOT MAD BUT FEARFUL.
A Body Guard of King Ludwig on His
Royal Master.

A Body Guard of King Ludwig on His
Royal Master.
j. Erleweger, of Pittsburg, Pa, for
nearly four years body guard of the late
King Ludwig, of Bavaria, says Of that
Inflated monarch: "All the stories that
have been told about King Ludwig's &C.
centricities are false. He never ordered
the Royal Opera company, of Munich,
to play before him alone. He never Or
dered them to come 10 his castle In the
middle of the night, and be never asked
them to act before him in a state Of
nudity.
ut is also untrue hat he would Jump
out of bed at night and ride over tho
mountains by himself. l can assure you
he never went anywhere alone. He was
too careful. i I'M sorry l have TO bother
you so much he would say, but some
Of my good friends compel me to have a
body guard at all times
His bedstead had a battery Of all
kinds of electrical machinery attached
to it. If he only moved from one side
10 the other while asleep all the bells in
our room would ring. He was also par
ticular with his food. He never touched
a morsel of bread even unless m Of US
tasted it. lie knew that his enemies
had spies always surrounding him and
he meant TO guard himself IS weIl as
possible.
II also think that the report Of his
extravagant habits is unfoanded, be-
cause when he died he was rich.
There are many things connected
with the life Of the dead king that I
might tell. but it is useless. You may
rest assured of the facts, however, that
King Ludwig III of Bavaria was, never
mad and never drowned himself, but
was killed by the IA who died With
him.

OF that consummation when he said:
Just as the gates were opened 10 let in

streets were also paved with gold and in

THE DEMON STEER.
A Horned Terror Even to the Daredevil
Cowboys of the Plains.

A Horned Terror Even to the Daredevil
Cowboys of the Plains.
George Wilson, a well known cowboy,
arrived from the northern range yester-
day afternoon, says a Cheyenne, Wyo.,
letter to the Omaha Republican. Ac-
cording TO Wilson there has roamed on
the ranges adjacent to the Platte and
Laramie rivers for these many years a
mastodon wild steer whose aggressive
ness and power make him the dread of
every round up outfit. This combative
beef bears not a brand, but no ''rustler"
dare appropriate him.
THE demon steer as the pugnacious
brute is called, knows no fear, and with
lowered head, ~glistening eyes, and So
norous below will charge upon any
thing in his course. Time upon time
has he been rounded up with his COM
parative docile companions, but he in
variably rushes past the line of riders
as if no such obstruction to his fight
existed. 0ncea c. Y. outfit determined
TO effect the capture Of the big fellow.
but after he had gored two horses and
scared the wits from half a dozen riders
the undertaking was abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season in
q fit of rage at those who dared intrude
on the peaceful solitude Of the range
charged at midday into q camp, Great
ing a panic to which was ideal quiet
ness the chatter incident to the stam-
pede of the tabled bull in the imaginary
china shop. There was . grand scatter
ing Of equipage inc q disordered night
of the diners. One of these latter was so
incensed that contrary TO all orders he
sent a six shooter bali after the massive
steer, but the missile few wide Of its
mark.
Wilson asserts that he will undertake
to prove the demon steer killed q big
bear in n fair fight on the Sabylle three
years ago and the cowboys will bet all
their earthly belongings that Demon
can conquer any bull in the territory.
The combat with the bear was q terrible
affair. Bruin was forced to the defencive
from the start and for n time pluckily
met the onslaughts Of the fighting steer,
jarring the great form with blows from
his paws. The activity Of the steer
was marvellous. He played around his
antagonist as the sparrer annoys his foo

sharp horns into the blocd-matted sides

What 1t Costs Swell Bachelors To

New York World.


The suit which Howell Osborne s
creditors have begun against the trus-
tees of the $500 600 which 0sborne's
father left him in trust, and ON the in
come of which Osborne is now living
in Paris, brings up the very interesting
question of how much money n club
man and a man about town who
moves in good society requires every
year to maintain the social position
which come TO him by right of birth
and family connection. The question
has several times received attention at
the hands of lawyers and learned
judges. One of the most notable cases
was that of the late Eben Kimball
of the Union Club, who was
brought up in supplementary proceed
ings, and who explained In detail how
he managed 10 live and move among
gentlemen on an annual income of
$500. The Osborne case, which came
up before Judge Lawrence in the
supreme court chambers last week was
made particularly interesting by rea-
son of the submission of two affidavits
from prominent members of the Stock
Exchange, both of them bachelors who
profess themselves to be of the opinion
that an unmarried man, particularly
il he have no occupation, may live
comfortably on 5000 year. 1t is
needless to point out that different
men would have widely different ideas
as to what comfortable living is. Five
thousand dollars a year would GER
tainly not pay for many horses or
