Tie King Acknowledged His Mistake

The good nature &C itaiy's King is
we'll Illustrated by an anecdote from the
days Of the last royal hunts at Mona.
King llumbert is accustomed to take his
sport with the gun in pretty much the
out attendants, thereby distinguishing
him from his imperial German ally, who
has insignia of his high Office all over
his hunting costume and is accompanied
usually on the chase by noblemen and
hunkevs.
SiIo'tly before the end OF last season
the Kings hound started a hare about
t"o miles from Monza, and the King
tired. At the Sa:Ge instant another shot
was heard, and an Italian peasant, with
au old-lashloncd gun and mongrc!
dog, hurried up from the opposite direc-
ton. The peasant mistook the simple
yet elegantly y-clad sportsman who dis
putc6 his possession of the hare for q
Roman dude, and csugh, up the royal
arm stretched toward the dead game.
There was IA hot discussion, which ended
i'll tho triumph of the Kings superior
logic and his taking of the hare.
At the royal castle the King gave the
hare to the servants that they might pre-
pare 1t for his supper, and stood by as
they dressed it for the pan. When the
cntrails were removed the bullet that
caused the animals death was found. IL
was of the old style of gun, of the
pattern of fifty years ago. The King
looked az it aud at once sent out mes
senGcr to summon to the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led
into the Kings presence the latter
stretched to him both hands and said:
""My dear man l bave Just discovered
my mistake. The hare belongs to you.
As it Is already roasting, however, can
Go no more than to ask you to help nae
cat il"
The peasant sat at the Kings right
hand at dinner that evening, and,
although high society spoiled his ap-
petite, he jngled his wineglass against

Some Speed Makers.

Some curious facts are brought int
prominence by q correspondent Of
Cycling, who has been at the pains to
disw up a comparative table Of the rates
Of speed In different modes of loco
motion. The express train, OF course,
sfands re.e-,i-e-... ...u mas as yet
discovered no way Of getting about
faster on the earths surface. 1t will be
srlrpise, however, to many to learn
that the safety bicycle. OF which SO much
is heard nowadays, only occupies In this
list the seventh place.
: The fastest time in which a train has
been known to travel a milo was forty
nine seconds and fraction; to accom-
plish the same distance the fastest BIZ
cyclist, who has hitherto ridden, took
two and three-quarter minutes. or just
about three times as long. An ice yacht
has travelled q mile in one minute and ten
seconds, running horse in one minute
and thirty five and half seconds, a tor
pedo boat in one minute and fifty
seconds, steam yacht iD two minutes
and twelve seconds and fraction, aud
skater on ice, with favorable wind
behind him, in two minutes aud twelve
seconds and rather large fraction. A
little way after the safety bicycle comes
the ocean liner; the oarsman is much
slower, taking five minutes aud forty
seconds to travel mile, and the slow
est of all is the swimmer, who requires
very little short of an hour to perform
the same Journey.

THE LADY OF TEARS.

Through valley and hamlet and city,
Wherever humanity dwells.
With heart too full Of infinite pity,
A breast that with sympathy swells,
She walks I'm her beauty immortal.
Each household grows sad a. she nears,
But she crosses at length every portal,
The mystical Lady Of Tears.

Has Swallowed your life In the past,
morrow
She visits all heartbstones at last.
To hove, and cottage, and palace.
To servant and king she appears
And offers the gall Of her chalice-
The unwelcome Lady Of Tears.
To the eyes that bave smiled but in glad
ness,
To the souls that have basked In the sun,
She seems in her garments Of sadness
A creature TO dread and TO shun.
And lips that have drank but Of pleasure
Grow pailii and trembls with fears
AS she portions the gall from her measure,
The merciless Lady OF Tears.
But in midnight, lone hearts that arc break
ing,
With the agonized numbness OF grief,
Are saved from the torture Of breaking,
by her bitter sweet drnught OF relief.
Oh then do all graces enfold her;
Like goddess she looks and appears,
And the eyes overflow that behold her
The beautiful Lady OF Tears.

BIZ E1S) aSSGt Brooklyn Bridge,

No doubt many people have wondered
what becomes OF the millions of tickets
sold and collected annually by the New
York and Brooklyn Bridge Company.
One who has given some thought to the
supiect tells what might be done with
them, and ncidentally gives other figures
showing the magnitude of the traffic on
the Bridge. Here they are Just as he
gave them:
"Over forty ono million of people

people away, and would, if coupled to-

tinuously, would reach from New York
to st. Paul, distance of over thirteen
hundred miles, and would weigh very
nearly ton. There would be enough
tickets to cover the bridge promenade

There would be enough tickets to cover

rooms could be papcred, and if piled up
