Devouring Affronts.

The most misera ble of lives probably is that of the ''barn-stormer or com edian who goes about with others m company performing in small towns and villages Not infrequently these peoplc encounter audiences which ex- press deserved contempt for them Tn ways which are not kind.
 II suppose" said a friend of one or these performers at the close or one or his expeditions, that you get pretty much everything thrown at you?
 "oh, yes; apples principally and now and then turnips and frequently pota- toes"
 And occasionally cabbage sup pose?' h, cabbage"
 "Unfortunately! What do you mean by that?"
 ..Whv. bless your soul. 1t was the hest luck we had when people threw those things at us. We had so little to eat that we were thoroughly giao to swallow their insults. ."-MancheSter Times.

WHOM THE GODS LOVE.

You say that being so old
 Twas time for him to die? Rings not your comment cold
 And even inhuman: Why Should tenderer tears be shed
 When death lays young lives low, Spared years of sorrow and fret. Spared ages overthrow: When young we are called away, We shirk untold regret: For austere Time will slay
 Not merely ourselves, but yet Brand with authentic sign
 His despotisms elsewhere
 Drape wisps of silvering hair Ger eyes beloved-plow line And furrow on treasured cheeks. Whom the gods love die young" An me- there Wisdom's tongue With sovereign accent speaks Pity the old who die;
 The young behind them leave Such bounteous grief whereby
 Fate bids they should not grievc. Heart-racked with many q sigh,
 Wounded with many scar. Pity the old who die;
 The young are happier far. Edgar Fawcett in Lippincotts Magazine.

SOME HOSPITABLe PEOPLE.
Queer stories Found In the Chronicles Of
 an Old Family.


 an Old Family.
 Richard and Dorothy Tounsend, in writing the chronicles of their family. speak of one branch whose members were once the principal gentry of the west of England; yet the story goes. when money was granted by the grand jury to them for improving the high ways they used to lay the coins in rows on the ground and call on the passers- by to swear that they had seen the money ''laid out on the road.
 But queer stories may be told of most of the old families. One very hos pitable Mrs. Tounsend loved to keep open house, and when carload after car load of cousins were seen driving up the avenue an astonished visitor asked the hostess where she could possibly bestow so many guests.
 "'Ah,' she answered, needn't trouble at all I've a very obliging cook and very accommodating butler. and they'll each take two or three in their beds
 ..All were not so hospitable, and the opposite extreme from this good old lady was a Mir. Tounsend who had fine place entered by beautiful avenue of trees.
 ''One day friend met him and said: I was caught in storm the other day near your house and sheltered myself under that big oak in the avenue.
 "'Ah. now, 'tis a pity you stopped there exclaimed Mir. Tounsend, if you'd gone twenty yards further down the road you'd have found much thicker tree"

JEST CITY, ARK- FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 1s93

in this quiet town, and the crowd set up an awful racket But Darzincourt persisted. though his eyes were filled with tears At last, crushed by his emotions, he forgot his lines. He stood with mouth wide open, hearing no more than the dcrisive shrieks of the orchestra or the cat-calls from the galleries. The failure was decisive; the play could go no further. Enter ing his dressing-room the old comedian tore his hair, reeling like a drunken man.
 You've put us in nice box" growled the director, who nevertheless had just pocketed the receipts.
 Darzincourt regained his home in crushed condition. A whole life of glory to end in this fatal defeat Still dressed he lay down on the bed and re- viewed the horrible evening. No. he would not allow himself to be beaten. He would fight again. Could he leave the theater forever? Even with it's chagrins and mortifcations he had need of it.
 The handsome Darzincourt of the past now supplicated and implored tho director; he did not wish to be paid he only asked to have a small role given him-a little. very little role.
 From motives of economy they ac- ceded to his request; he was given the part of servant and he set out to study it with all the ardor of de- butante.
 When he came in, letter in hand the <t, of cruel joy began to sing; "Dar-zin- court-Dar-zin-cou to a popular air. From balcony to orchestra rang the derisive sound.
 You see, my poor old man" said the manager, you are no longer wanted" And he, haggard, sinking-having tasted again the intoxication of the theater, asked himself in desperation what was to become of him from the footlights
 After that he asked only permission to be supernumerary-m of the peo- pie, archer of the palace, noble without importance. But they recognized him in the midst of the others, and the pub- lie, accustomed to having amusement at his expense, filled the hall with noise and laughter It was impossible to allow him to appear now even as ''supe." The little house at the gates of the town still smiled beneath it's bur den of clematis and fresh green vines, but he came there no more.
 All his life was bound up in the theater. He was martyr of the stage! He passed his days in a corner of the wings, having no more the right to show himself in the evening, however humbly. He wasted away, worn by sadness and longing, wandering about through the dressing-rooms of the artists like an old dog whose hunting days are over, but whom no one will turn away. One night the manager ap- preached him with cruel smile. Look here," he said, i've are going to put on a new piece. In the third act the barking of dog is heard in the wings. You be the dog, will you?" Darzincourt took his extended hand in his, trembling with joy, his face transfigured, as he stammered out his thanks.
 "A roler' he cried; 'I shall have an- other role!''-Short Stories.

THE LATE SQUIRE ABINGDON.
His Prodigality Toward Mrs. Langtry-
An Act of Charity.

That Abingdon Baird spent money
lavishly goes without saying, but how
laviShly is not realized. says q writer
III the Pittsburg Dispatch. While Mrs.
Langtry was playing in the Queen of
MOnoa" last fall-and this it must be
remembered was long after he had
given her about 5000, 900 for knocking
her doWn--she declared she was hard
up, and one morning wrote Baird a
note in which she asked for good
sized loan without mentioning any
amount. Baird did not get the note
until just as he was going to catch a
train, and he wrote the answer i'll a
cab on rough slip of paper. 1t was
addressed TO his man of affairs, who on
reading it exclaimed TO several of us
who were sitting together in the
Criterion cafe: Blamed if the squire
ant an easy mark. Hear what he
SAYS: just got note from Mrs. l..
Let her have what she wants up to
twenty thousand"
Just after Baird won the Derby with
Merry Monarch in the jubilee year he
was accosted on the street one night
by pallid wretch who asked for aims.
Baird looked iiXedly at the gaunt fell
low, whose eyes were dim and horri-
bic to look into. and asked the man
who and what he was. He said he
had been an engraver, but owing to
partial loss of eyesioht he had gone
down hill until he WAS about at the
bottom. "Where do YOU liye?" said
Baird. The man named a street down
Whitechapel way and Baird, hailing a
four-wheeler, pushed the beggar and a
man who had been with the squire in
to the vehicle and told the cabman to
drive to the place.
This was early in the evening.
About midnight Baird turned up, look
ing grave, and perfectly sober. He
stalked up to party of racing men.
some of whom had witnessed his de-
parture, and was greeted with num-
Der of jests and questions. Baird in
jest and swallowed a big glass of
brandy. Then he called his secretary
to one side and said Look here.
I've seen something awful-a man, his
wife, and eight children living or dy-
ing in one dirty hole of a room and
nothing to eat-and damme if they
ant honest yet. Tomorrow l want
you to 90 somewhere down the river
into the country and rent a cottage for
twenty years in the name Of this fell
lows wife and fix up an annuity that'U
give 'em bit to buy bread and coal
with. | can't get that woman's face
ont of my head, nor the children either,
poor devils. and I'm blest if they shan't
have a breath of fresh air and a chance
to stay honest. You arrange it. mind
you, tomorrow. and fetch me the
papers to sign if forget it." ] don't
admire men like Baird any more than
my neighbors do, but | cannot refrain
from telling this little story of what
came under my own notice.

Resigned TO Keep His Mnstache.

Strolling into a downtown restaurant
the other day, was surprised to see
among the walters man whom | had
observed for years in different lunch
restaurants of the Tenderloin precinct,
and who was one OF the best trained
walters ever saw either here or in
Europe.
From Delmonico's and >the Bruins
wick to Fulton street seemed to me so
great change that / was more than
curious and called the man to me.
though he was waiting on another
table.
"Fraucois." said, "what has brought
you down town? Surely there cannot
be as much money here as at Del's,
for example"
"No, Monsieur is quite right on that
score. but then have my liberty"
"Your liberty? In what way"
why. up town | WAS ordered to
| shave off, my muStache."
And you refused?"
"Naturally Ny wife said she would
leave me if | did such Z thing"
On further inquiry | found that
there is Il considerable influx of up
town walters in the downtown restau-
| rants just now. all driven there by the
same stern edict against the proud
} mustache in the swell uptown restau
| rants.-N. \. Herald.

TRAPPING TIGERS.
How the sIalays Catch the Savage Beasts
for Export.

In trapping tigers for export the
Malays dig hole about ten feet deep,
making the bottom twice as large in
area rs the top, 10 prevent the animal
from jumping out after being once in.
The whole completed, small brush
wood is lightly laid over its surface
and close by in the direction of the
mouth of the pit bullock is chained
to tree. On seeing the bullock the
tiger springs for his expected prey
and alghts in the pit A BAN boo
cage is placed over the pit. which is
then filled with earth, the tiger grad
ually coming to the surface. Once in

| once went on tiger hunt, SAYS
writer in the Century, but it ended in
a buffalo hunt. We organized a party
of five Europeans and ten natives. We
started on foot, because it is impossi
bic to ride through the jungle on
horseback. On finding tigers foot
prints, we followed them to a ravine,
where the tiger had been drinking.
Here we took our tiilin and, while eat
ing, heard groans which we thought
were from the tiger. Following the
sound, we saw an enormous man-eat-
ing tiger dashing away through the
brush. Shots were fired without eff
feet. On going farther, we discovered
that he had found buffalo and had
been making short work of him.
These butfaloes are not like those
found in America, but smaller and
more like an OK. Later this same tiger
was caught in a trap. We knew it
was the same. for not more than one
is found near village at Il time. On
an average four or five people were
killed by tigers on this road in the
course of a year. They generally
seize their prey after dusk and for this
reason it is never safe TO travel on
these roads after O'Clock at night 1t
is said that a tiger often selects his
man during the day and perhaps fol-
low him for miles. until overtaken bv
dEsl, when he springs on him.
Two gentlemen were once walking
over a pineapple plantation. when
they discovered that they were fol-
lowed by a tiger. They were three
miles from home and, having nothing
but shotguns for weapons, could not
fire al the animal. He kept at the
same distance behind them all the
way and they reached home before he
attempted an attack. The natives
are in constant terror of these animals
and it is almost impossible to send
them out after dark | have paid S20
to native for taking a message to the
maharajah after O'Clock at night.
