n reporter Saturday afternoon ut the club

room of the building.
When asked TO tell something about fenc-
ing and the Omaha people who use the foils
for amusement the professor said:
"There are three schools of fencing, the
French, Italian and Spanish, tho former diff
fering from the other two principally in the
position of the sword and arm while engarde
ana in the GOODNESS of the play, which is less
impetuous than tho Italian and less violent
than the Spanish. The French school,
now superior to oil others, requires
of the feucer GOODNESS. judgment. quickness,
iightness of the hand ana precision in the
parties and attacks. IL is not question of
mere force, but of using your strength to the
best possible advantage Mt the proper mo-
ment. The work comprises an uninterrupted
succession of movements. supple, rapid,
graceful, that requires incessant attention
and thought.
Exercise with the foils, which is now so
popular in the east, also has it's
place and followers in Omaha.

There are many fencers in Omaha whose

ably with that OF fencers in this country or
in Europe. Not long sinceA party of gentle
men among whom was famous Danish
master of arms and several German naval
officers were in Omaha for couple of days,
and they sought me out. The party spent an
entire afternoon with me and was delighted
and surprised at the work of some of my
pupils
''Probably the best all round fencer in
Omaha, both for scientific points and as

AMEER JOKE.
Pointed Humor Of the MoguI of Af-
ghlniStan.

Some strange stories have been told,
says Pearson s, Weekly, of the way in
which the Ameers of Afghanistan lords
it over his people. There is humor in
his way of playing the part of lord ahso-
Lutte which canibest be appreciated at a
distance, as a. story which has Just
reached US will show.
Not long ago. we are told, the Ameer
was sitting discussing public affairs. Or
ders had been issued to release certain
persons from the sorrows of existence.
when the counc suddenly dashed into
greater things, and began to talk about
the British and the Russians. A man
who had lately been introduced at court,
and was not we'll acquainted with the
sovereign's ways, remarked:
Lord of the earth, let people say what
they like, but this humble one has been
scanning the political horizon with far
reaching eyes, and the Russians are
coming"
The lord of the earth smiled a sweet
smile-some of the old courtiers who
knew that smile also smiled-and, turn
ing upon him with the "far reaching
eyes" " said
bright jewel of our council and sun
of our understanding, art thou sure of
this?"
lord of the earth is omniscient and
knows everything" f" replied he.
well, to be sure, we do see things,
and know one or two things, but we are
old now. Moreover, yon tree obstructs
our view. However, thou art young; go
thou, therefore, climb tho tree, watch
the Moscovite's movements, and when
he is very close upon lis come and IN
form us. The tree is high, SO that thou
shalt be enabled to see n long way off,
if thou wilt Chamber to its top
Forthwith the man was led to the tree
and made to climb the topmost branches.
To keep up his courage if he grew
weary of his post. a guard with bayonets
fixed was told off to remain below. 1t
is said tho young man was considerably
elevated by his masters humour, and
felt very exhilerated at first; but three
days contemplation of the beauties of
nature, even from such a commanding
position is apt to tire one, and SO he
fell. Some say he got hurt and died.
No one dares to raise alarms in Cabul
