MISS CUSHMAN'S ONLY LOVE.
E3cw the Famous Actress Discovered the
Dapiicity of Her Leading Man.
The END.

Charlotte Cushman, the actress, was
in love but once in her life. She met
in Cincinnati, where she was playing,
an actor named Clark, with whom she
fell in love. Through her efforts
Clark was advanced to leading man in
the company and the course of true
love ran smoothly. One night the
actress met a strange woman behind
the scenes between the acts. The
woman came up to her and addressed
her thus:
You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't you cot enough
men to admire you without coming
between man and wife and robbin' me
of my husband?"
Your husband?" cried Miss Cush-
man, getting excited.
Eyes, and you have taken or you are
tryin' to take him from me-" continued
the ragged woman, looking Miss Cush-
man full in the face.

that night as usual-acted it splendid

after the performance, she sent for
Clark to come to her room. Clark
knocked and then opened the door.
She brought forward to him his wife
and baby, WHO had been waiting in
the dressing-room to receive him. Such
reception! Charlotte Cushman
never looked or acted so grandly on
the stage in all her life as she did that
night in her dreSsing-room, says the
Philadelphia Times. She waved Clark

Standing on His Head.

Wagner, the eminent composer, had
the nerves of an acrobat. Once he
was climbing precipitous mountain
in company with young friend.
When some distance up and walking
along a narrow ledge, the companion
who was following, called out that ne
was growing giddy.
Wagner turned round on the ledge
of rock, caught his friend, and passed
him between the rock and himself to
the front.
His biographer, Ferdinand Praeger,
relates an incident of visit to Wag-
ner at his Swiss home. The two men
sat one morning on an ottoman in the
drawing-room, talking over the events
of the year.
Suddenly Wagner, who was 90 years
old, rose and stood upon his head upon
the ottoman.
At that moment Wagner's wife en-
tered. Her surprise and alarm caused
her to run to her husband, exclaiming:
"Ah! Richard! Richard!" Quickly re-
covering himself, he assured her that
he was sane and wished to show that
he could stand on his head at 60, which
was more than Ferdinand could do

HOW LAWYERS BILLS ARE MADE.
A Little Story Told to Senator Sawyer, and
How 1t Worked.

A member of the Chicago bar re-
lates an interesting bit of experience
he had in naming fee he should
charge the multi-millionaire Sawyer of
Wisconsin. 81 had done twenty days
hard and important work for the Sem
ator. When it came to the point for
me to name my fee said: senator,
let me tell you little story. A young
brother lawyer came to me the other
day in great quandary as to how
much he should charge certain client
for a highly successful piece of legal
work that he had done. At first told
him to go somewhat by the feelings of
the client regarding the good the latter
had reaped. Having said this, named
$500 to my young friend. Well, when
his client appeared he was feeling way
up and taking out roll of $500 bills
remarked: Now. my young friend.
I'll begin and tell of these $500 bills
and when I've told off enough to satisfy
YOU for your services YOU say the
word' The young man was dumb
founded. One - two-three y and
then the young man shouted 'Enough!
That will dor Then the happy client
handed the 81, 500 to his lawyer with
the air of one who thought he was get

Senator Sawyer heard the story all
through and could see that he caught

on him. Smiling drolly he said

n Visit to a Lighthouse.

The keeper lived in nice brick
house close to the tower, and also
painted white. Unlocking the tower
door, we began to climb the iron stair
which winds round and round inside

slowly, the keeper leading until the
stairs seemed to run right up against

and flood of light came down upon
us. He had opened an iron trap-door,
and we went up through the opening.

of oil has to be set in place. Think OF
that, boys! Every night III the year,
at midnight, that keeper has to get out

WITH DlRCE AND WITH QUlCKSTEP
The Difference Between Going To and
From q Funeral.

The jollity that prevails on many of
the funeral trains returning from
burlals is something which adds a
great deal of emphasis to the remark,

cago Tribune man who has been among
the passengers on many of these trains
during the last twelve months has seen
some emphatic contrasts in the de-
pertinent of the outgoing and incom-
ing friends of the deceased" This
contrast is more usually found upon
trains where the number of friends"
is made up of the day-la boring class
and their families people to whom a

skirts of the city always partakes more
Of the nature of holiday excursion.
The license which by some unwritten
yet apparently well recognized law
permits having a gay time by these
home-bound, -bedecked passen-
gers is lived up to with a rollicking
spirit such as would do liberal justice
to the merriest knot of picknickers
that ever invaded a wooded dell.
And where's the harm?
Isn't the example for such time on
such an occasion set-to at least some

CHAPTER NNIII.

Never. in the course Of the whole TWEEN
ty Years that he had lived at Hammer
smith =. Job stayed out so late without
giving notice previously to his sister.
Consequently she was in a state of ex-
IRENE uneasiness. For months she had
shared all her brothers. anXieties. and this
night she had said to herself: 1T is to be
hoped there is no fresh trouble at the
factory" She had sent away her dinner
untasted, and was now walking up and
down her little parlor in a state of painful
agitation.
Suddenly the door-bell rang; but the
faint sound in no way resembed her
brothers usual assault upon the bell
handle.
1t was he, but not alone. A tall man
entered with Job. and said good evening
in low voice Not until he spoke did
the kind hearted woman recognize Flor
ence, whom she had not seen since the
day when she had called upon Sylvia,that
is to say. some time before the sad events
that had darkened his life. 1t was with
difficulty that she restrained an exclama-
ton of pity and establishment.
My DEAR" said Job; ..will you get my
room ready for our friend, who is going to
stay the night with us?''
Miss Denman arranged the apartment
with tender care. for with the exception
of her brother. Florence was the only
man who escaped the reprobation she Law
ished upon his sex.

Was husband had few minutes Of
frightful excitement. There was no

Il must be alone" he said sternly to Job.
But the other would not leave him IN his
despair. Unperceived by Florence his
friend drew him far away from the facto-
ry. and the cashiers Kind heart as well as
native rewdness told him what to say
to his fi--nd. During their long walk he
spoke only Of Frank-his brother Frank,
who loved him so dearly.
"les. there IS true affection; you have
Frank always to lean on, Florence. He
will never fail YOU"
These words soothed Florence almost
unconsciously. and he made no objection
when job insisted on taking him to his

A Thrifty Man.

Here, young man." said Russell
Sage one day, as he held out a nickel
to a fakir who had dropped his box of
tin watches on the stone coping of the
Trinity church yard fence and lodged
at the risk of life and limb after the
old mans hat, which had blown half
way across the street. The fahir knew
the multi-millionaire, says the n. Y.
Recorder, but had evidently not
reckoned on the thrift which helped
win the millions. Thank We, Mister
Sage" he said, AS the size of the reward
dawned upon him. Wait minnit an

Not at Home When He Is Drunk

King Gungunyane is sadly addicted
to African beer, but the white men
who know him think he is blessed
with considerable good sense. He rules
the Big territory of GAIA, south of the
Zambesi, and while ago he was visited
by missionary. For several days the
King declined to see his visitor. 1t
happened to be time of festival and
rejoicing, and his Majesty was very
deep in his cups. When he was urged
to see the missionary at once, he said:
81 will not see him now / would
see any other of the white men in my
country, because we drink together
and get drunk together, but | am not
going to make a fool of myself by let
ting this missio nary see me drunk
when he sees me for the first time in
his life
After about a week the missionary
obtained an audience. The potentate
was then fairly sober, though suffering
from the effects of his long spree. In
the blandest manner he gave the
missionary permission to establish mis-
sionary stations in his country.-N. Y.
