time when l passed the point where
those men had left US. l looked out of
the windows for the robbers, but did not
see them, and SO we got away. They
detained us, l think, about half an

about $1,000 from the little safe while
they were in the cur The two safes
they threw out they evidently intended
to wreck by bombs, but were scared
away, and those safes, which contained
between $4,000 and $100,Ou0, were not
attacked. 1t was cool robbery. The
men had the drop. Resistance would
have been madness. l guess suicide
would have been about the name for it.
We simply did our duty by holding our
hands up and saving our lives"

OCHILTREE And THE GoUT.

The Texas Colonel Could Not Resist q
Bottle That Was Labeled 1874.
Illustrated News of the World.l
Colonel Thomas Ochiltree, of Texas has
returned to London from yachting trip
with Colonel North. The two Colonels
must have had good time, as there is a
hearty sympathy between them, and both
possess an inexhaustible fund of good stories.
A writer in the Caterer relates this anecdote
of Colonel North's guest:
'Like most gourmets who do good deal
of entertaining and dining out, Ochiltree
has occasional attacks of gout, and last year
he and friend Ga fellow-sufferer) made a
pilgrimage to Carlsbad to take the cure.
They left their gout behind them, after a
course of the waters, and, en- route for
home, looked in at Paris. Here they
dined with the American Ambassador, and
the banquet was a sumptuous one. Every
thing was cpmme IL faut, and the
wines were of the rarest vintages Tom ap-
preached the table with the determination
of practicing the most rigid abstinence. All
went on well until toward the end of the
feast, when lacquey was serving the Clos
Vougeot; by mischance the napkin slipped
off the well-begrimed bottle, disclosing, in
bold letters, the date 1874. This was too
much for the Texan to endure. The spirit
of the gourmet triumphantly asserted it
self
by the gods, I couldn't pass that, said
he in relating the incident. The devil was
in league with that footnsn. He must have
been the bottle imp. The fall of the servi-
ette was likewise the fall of Ochiltree. NY
friend and threw all reserve aside,plunged
wildly in, and we got away with about four
bottles between US. Result-Mr. O'Gout
returned, and, instead of going
home, we thought ID wise to have another
turn at Carlsbad"

MASON AND MAN0LA.
How Two Well Known People are Putting
in the Time this Summer.


in the Time this Summer.
Boston Globe.l
Jack Mason, the well-known actor, is en-
joying life at Old Orchard, Me. He came
here directly from his trip abroad with his
wife, Marion Manola. Jack was here sew
eral years ago with party of boon compan-
ions, and the party was inseparable from
morning till night. Jack was the commo-
dore and grand regent of the party. No
matter where they were or what they were
doing, whenever Jack would stop, look at
his watch and call out in his resonant voice,
'"Time," there was an immediate and de-
cisive rightabout face.
One day Jack got broke and the party was
broke in consequence. They borrowed 80
to send Jack to Boston for funds. They
went to the boat with him and were going
to give him the money after he got aboard
so that it would not evaporate by the way
side. As result 81 dropped into the sea,
so Jack had just enough to get stateroom,
with no breakfast at Boston till he struck
some friends. Jack got his money all right,
returned the next day to the arms of his dry
comrades and happiness again reigned. This
summer, however, Jack is living very
quietly. He plays tennis and baseball and
is an ardent devotee of both these sports.
He and his wife bathe regularly. Crowds
watch them every day. Jack is very affec-
tionate, and both are good swimmers, SO the
crowd is always interested. Yes, Jack is
devoted husband. He is seen everywhere
with his wife. They go to the balls and
frequently dance together throughout the
evening. They dance superbly. Occasion
ally Jack yields his charge to some favored
silver-top, and then he either watches her
or else tries to enjoy dance with some
other woman.
