An Englishman's Boots.

An Englishman, but long since Ameri-
caniZed, thus tells how he spotted fellow
countryman of his by his boots. He had
received telegram that an old friend Of
his English days, who was returning to
England from Mexico via the States, would
be at the Palmer House on a certain morn
ing. He had not seen the man for eight
years, and his face was utterly forgotten.
The hotel clerk could give no further III
formation than that the EngEshman in
question was somewhere in the rotunda,
and that he wore light checkered trousers
Whereupon the English-American began
to scrutinize all the trousers that sat, stood
or walked within the rotunda
At last he saw pair that seemed to an
swer the description. They fitted badly,
moreover. The owner carried a stout
stick, wore sort of shooting jacket, and
an air of independence. The locker CT
thought to himself: 81 believe that must
be an Englishman. But YETI Then his
eyes glanced downward again until they
reached the boots. The sight was enough
1t recalled memories that nothing else had
been able to awake. He went up to the
man with the boots and was not mistaken
1t was his old friend Afterward the ac

representatives of the congressional
party say that the provisional govern
ment of insurgents is preparing for a
final and decisive attack on Balmaceda' S
stronghold and for that purpose is mass

WASHINGTON, June 29.---Senor Don
Pedro Montt, who has arrived here as a
a representative of the Chilean insur-
gents. speaking of reported interviews
in New York, said that much had
been credited as coming from him
which he never said. After describing
the situation in Chile he said: 'sAmeri-
cans are generally ignorant of our con-
ditiOn. Here you have free speech and
free papers. Here you can talk, hold
public meetings, use the mail and
telegraph. In Chile you can not. The
mail and telegraph, and the press are
all suppressed to accomplish the ends
Of Balmaceda. He has set aside all our
laws and established those to suit him.
You ask why can we not remove him
from power? The courts are put in
fear and terrorized, and their decisions,
If you can call them such, are the de-
cisions of Baimaceda. The citizen of
Chile who loves his country and wante
her laws obeyed and respected can get
no redress"

How a Poor Man Studied Law.

The Rev DR.. George E. Ellis says:
There is a story about certain distin-
guished orator, lawyer and statesman Of
Massachusetts that has never been told,
and daresay the gentleman wouldn't like
to have his name mentioned now. Besides,
the story is very old, and it all happened
something like thirty-five years ago. But
it is a good story, and it's value is only very
slightly diminished by the necessity for
Withholding names.
AS say, something like thirty-five years
ago | lived in the Highlands, and in NY
house there was a young domestic who was
very bright and very industrious. One dag
| discovered her in earnest conversation
with Draw young man at the back gate
She talked with him long and tenderly,
and when he went away chaffed her about
her company But she surprised me very
much by bursting into tears, and declared
that she was ready to give up her place, but
that she had meant no harm. questioned
her further, and discovered that she had
loaned some books out Of my library to the
young man, and he had come to return
them.
The young man was her brother, and he
was studying law, but he had little money
to buy books with, and he had taken this
means of pursuing knowledge under diff
culties. Today men call that young man
general, and if | told you his name you'd
be startled, | assure you.-Cor St. Louis

The Boston Man with n Cane,

There is middle aged man in Boston
who walks with a cane and wears mutton
leg whiskers. | met him once on Milk
street, and | want to meet him just once
more in the flesh. He it was who told me
the way to the postoffice, a direction which,
if followed, would have taken me I'D the
Maine coast nearly to Bar Harbor. He
also told me we had five minutes to catch a
certain boat. Like a kite with gracefully
diminishing tail the little procession, of
which was the humble head, tore through
the streets seeking to follow our guides
directions. We flew east four blocks and
collided with the public buildings We
flashed about and sped north by northeast
and entered circular park, where we gy
rated madly until policeman camIy
placed US in cab and told Us to take our
time as our boat did not leave until 9
o'clock.
AS it was then 7:30, and we had been run
ming eleven blocks with the mercury in the
seventies, our thoughts reverted to the
middle aged man with rapture. And the
rapture has grown with me until | quite
yearn TO meet him again and thank him
for all he did to make our brief stay in
Boston SO eXhilarating. 1t is not much,
perhaps, that a middle aged man with a
cane can do in this stirring, active world,
but If providence only throws a worn and
wasted female tourist in his way occasion
ally he need not live in vain. Though born
lame, and having attained an age when
the madcap joys of youth pail little, as
it were, the opportunity to make things
lively for tourists is his, SO long as he lives
in Boston and pretends to be posted on To-
cations and boats.-Chicago Herald

The I'll Fatad Number Thirteen

That Inflated number was never so dread
ed in Germany as it is today. In most of
the hotels there it has been changed to
some other number. Won Moltke's death
is attributed by some to that number. The
field marshal could never retire without
his game of whist. When he was before
Sedan he had his rubber every night"

down to play as usual, and his luck was
phenomenal. While matched against a
skillful player he won trick after trick.
The last game he scooped the entire thir-

that he died soon after taking thirteen
tricks of whist has caused horror with all
the superstitious people of Germany, and

The Miser i'm Death.

The dead of graveyard sat in their
tombs, for now it was the feast of the
Melad, when the dead are as alive and may
walk the earth for night, and neither the
angel Moonkir questions nor the angel
Nekeer forbids.
But many missed their bones, and walled
with vain rattle of speech, till one, which
was a miser, with dry laughter spake:
"What need have to walk? Here be bones
to sell" Then woman gave for q leg
bone ring, and another fillet Of gold for
a hand, and thus there was soon left Of
him only a skull, and to that skull some
treasures. These others stumbled away
rejoicing, and as { - Iauezzin sounded the

their graves. But ut morning came down

He Was the Fellow,

Virgins was harassed by the possession
of expensive tastes and the non-possession
of means to crafty them-a combination
of circumstances which, being known,
made it extremely difficult for him to ne
gotiate even a loan of ten shillings from his
associates. Parkin, in particular, used to
congratulate himself on the fact that Wig
gins had never been in his books for ever
SO small an amount, and steadfastly pur-
posed that he never would be- Unfortu-
nately for Parkin, however he was fond of
a practical joke, and it was this fact that
interfered with the success of his prudent
determination.
A number of them were sitting in the
club reading room one day, when Virgins
whispered to Parkin:
LET me have flyer for few minutes,
till put up joke on one of the fellows"
Parkin, ready for some fun, and suspect
ing nothing, handed him five pound
note, and was surprised few minutes
afterward to see Virgins using it to pay
sundry little losses at cards, including a
sovereign to Diggins, evidently borrowed.
II say, Wiggins," he cried in amaze
ment. II thought you were going to raise
laugh on one of the fellows with that five
pound note?"
$50 l am" explained Virgins; you are
the fellow. "-London Tit-Bits.

asked him:
"'Ain't you one Of them sons Of old man

stranger, and then he went on to tell how
he and his brother made up their minds to
leave home, never stopping until they had
reached the Ohio river; how they had
drifted into Mississippi, grown up and be-
come lost to each other, and how, after
many years, an irresistible longing had
come over him to revisit the scenes of his
childhood, and how he had made the long
journey on horseback to satisfy that long
ing.
Finding that his parents were still alive,
and that the old mill was still running and
grinding meal for the community as of
yore, when he left for his old home the
next morning, he went by the mill, secured
small sack OF meal and carried it to his
fathers house, where he received such a
welcome as he never before received
"He spent several weeks with his parents
and then left for his home in Mississippi,
and that was the last ever heard of him or
his brother truant, who was thought to
have gone to California and become swal-
lowed Up and lost in the rush to the gold
fields"
There was far away look in the majors
eyes as he concluded, and the reporter
imagined that probably his old Virginia
home was again being looked at through
the strong lens of love and memory, and so
he skipped ont and left him lingering amid
the recollections of chestnut time.-Albany

marched his troop seventy miles in twelve
hours-6 a. m. to p. m.-and came in
fresh, and double that distance has been
made from 10 a. m. till 5 p. M. next day.
