was that Oldest son of his who broke the
old mans heart.
How could the boy be saved?
For years the old man had studied the

Sandy Mcbride opened the icebox and
proceeded to- unroll the rubber blanket
that was wrapped around the old nan.
Mcbride poured out a stiff glass and
offered it ia the corpse.
Just then there was a loud noise in
the hall. The son reeled into the room
Oh, my God, it all came to him,

come to see his father die, but he had
never dreamed of more. The weird
sight made him instantly as sober as a

been slumbering suddenly leaped like a
dash. His gun came into play. Sandy
Mcbride, the gambler, dropped dead in
his tracks. The rest of the gang leaped
for windows and doors.
It had come at last.

1T WENT WITH THE POSE.

The Model' Smile Was Misunderstood
by the sober Girl Student.
An Indianapolis artist who has won
prestige in eastern art circles tells the
following incident which occurred IN a
New York studio of much celebrity: A
large class of women and girls were
sketching from a model. a young
Italian. who was posed with his
head thrown back, his arms Enthusiastically
wreathed over his head and his legs ex-
tended in some sort of wild Bacchanal
caper.
The indianapolis woman was sketch
ing the models shoulder when she OBJ
served that he was smiling at her III a
very familiar manner Somewhat dis
concerted to discover that she had APP
parently made a conquest OF this guile
less child of Italia, she began to sketch
his knee, as more remote from h artll-
lery of his sentimental glances. In a
remote corner of the room giggllng
arose, and she perceived that the smiles
of the flirtatious model were taking eff
feet upon some lively girls among the
Students. lIuey SuUSluCu ouoAoAy, DuS
the young Italian still continued firing
off smiling glances in every direction.
At about the center of the class was a
German girl, serious to the core, alb
sorbed in her work. and fierce in her
manner as a female Bismarck. Every
stroke she planted on her easel was de-
cisive and almost combative. Suddenly
she came under the battery of the ltal,
ian's smiles, and without an instant's
hesitation her voice rang out like a
clarion:
You schtop that schmiling; We don't
vant you to schmile.'
The figure of the model relaxed in
simultaneously and he stood straight as
an arrow before the class. the impersona-
ton of offended and wrathful dignity.
After an appalling silence he remarked
in the severest tones:
Ladies. | am here before you zimply

The Largest Bell in France,

The largest bell in France is about to
be hung in the beautiful Church of the
Sacred Heart, which is just being com
pleted, on the steep hill of Montmartre,
to the north of Paris. This bell, which
Is the gift OF the faithful in the Depart
ment OF Savoy, weighs about 5000
pounds. It is 10 feet high. with a
diameter of about 10 feet at the base.
Two men could stand inside of it easily.
While by no means the largest bell in
the world, this big fellow is considera-
bly, larger than any other bell in France.
The largest bell in the Cathedral of
Notre Dame weighs less than 40, 900
pounds, while that in the famous Ca
thedral Of Rheims weighs hardly more
than $4,000 pounds.-New York Herald.

Ants Like Human Beings.

It has been ascertained beyond a

which not only have a military Or
ganization and wage systematic war
fare, but also keep slaves and carry
on agricultural pursuits. Nineteen
species of ants with these habits
have been already discovered and
their modes of life more or less fully
described. Indeed, nearly all the in
stitutions and gradations Of culture
and civilization which the human
race has passed through, and of
which we find survivals among the
different tribes of men, exist also
among ants. -Atlantic Monthly.

Collecting sticks

The newest and most popular fad
among young gentlemen who make any
pretension to fashion in dress is the col
lecting of all kinds Of odd canes. One
young fellow, who started his collection
about five years ago-long before the
fad became popular-now has in his pos
,ession over twenty-five sticks, and many
of them are connected with events of
historical Importance. He has one made
from a timber of the old Merrimac and
another from the Kearsarge. Then there
is one made from a stick taken from the
belfry of Independence hall, and also one
from the old Bulls Head tavern, from
which Washington reviewed the Cont
mental troops. Another is cut from q
tree planted by Washington at Mount
Vernon, and one highly priced is made
from a stick taken from the Garfield
funeral car.-Philadelphja Press.

The inhabitants of Rat Portage, On
tario, are very anxious to have the name
of their town changed. Its growing inn
portance, they think, demands for it a
more dignified and delicate name, and
their pride and cultured ears are hurt
by the a%ppellation of Rat Portagers, by
which they are known. Petitions for a
change have been sent to the authori-
ties, and the names suggested by the
petitioners include Van Horn, Sylvana,
Minnesobie and Sultana. The latter is
much favored, but the Rat Portagers
evidently do not see the danger of their
staid citizens being known as Sultanas.

A Worthy Idea.

An idea that first originated in the
fertile brain of Alexandra Dumas fills is
likely to come into fashion. "For," he
said, "why should not those who are in
vited to a luxurious banquet, which they
get for nothing, pay a triie for such as
are without food and provide these poor
people with IA NEAL" And he proposes
that each guest shall pay the lady of the
house the sum of one franc, a sugges-
ton that will no doubt commend itself
to those who are not in a position to
reciprocate in the matter of hospitality,
and who are thereby relieved in part of
the sense of obligation for a gratuitous
feed. He limits the amount to one franc
in order to avoid an invidious compari-
son between the parade of generosity on
the part of the wealthy and the smaller
contributions of those less happily cir
c~umstanced.
Moreover, as the rafting of coin and
the giving of change at the dinner table
are Objectionable features, he suggests
the introduction of ''bons," or notes of
hand, to be obtained at various centers
Oh payment of the required sum-. We
have seen a sample of these notes, which
he styles ''bons de digestion" and which
are signed, ''Qui dine dome" Che who
dimes gives. This fashion" launched
by Dumas on the charitable world, is
worthy of imitation. Figaro.

A Strange Story About a Schooner.

The two masted schooner James A.
Fisher, which struck on the Jersey coast,
near Cape May inlet, forty-nine years
ago and sunk in the quicksands, will
soon be afioat again, a perfect vessel as
of yore. She was buried SO deeply in
the sand that not wen her masts or rig
ging have been visible, but the recent
storm unearthed her.
The vessel is in a remarkably perfect
condition, not ever a bulwark being
crushed in. The cargo of corr was dug
out of her hold a few days ago, black,
but in perfect shape. Watches, shoes
and the clothing of the crew were
brought to light. A watch showed the
exact hour at which it had stopped tick
ing, and the pipes and tobacco were just
as left by the i'll fated crew.
The cargo consisted of a full load of
corr shipped at Duck River, Delaware
bay, for New York. She sunk SO 500
in the sand that the crews clothing and
paraphernalia, as well as the entire
cargo, went down. Captain Andrews
and several of the crew were frozen to
death, and the steward drowned in at
tempting to reach the mainland.-Phila-
