Senator Morse was too much of a
man to be ashamed of his calling,
says Kate Fields Washington, and
never failed to turn the tables on any
one who chafed h i'm about it, A story
used to be told of visit paid to his
store in Boston by Il Washington
swell who had met him at the Metro
pOlitan club here, and who thought
TO have a little amusement at his cX-
pensC. As the visitor entered Mr..
Morse was just in the act Of bowling

"Ha, Morse" cried the Washing
tonian, ''how wish the fellows at the
club could see you now. watched

BACK FROM THE TOMB.
A Handsome Youth Consigned to the
Grave Rescued From Death.

Handsome Youth Consigned to the
Grave Rescued From Death.
All the horrors imagined by Poe in
his weird tales of cataleptics buried
as dead and returning to life in the
tomb are recalled by an incident
which has lately occurred in this
picturesque old town OF Caen, in
France. Here. however. the story
lacks Poe's blood-curdling conclu-
sions.
Felix Daubenesque is handsome
youth of 20, whose noble birth, and
manly bearing have won him tender
glanccs from many pair Of bright
eyes. The female population all
went into mourning, accordingly
when it was announced few weeks
ago that the poor fellow had died Of
the prevalent typhus, after short
illness. This happened on Sunday;
the burial was announced FOR the
next Tuesday, and took place at the
given time. Only, as the family
vault was not ready, the colin was
temporarily placed in grave,
Still the vault not yet ready, the of
fin was removed 20 the old parish
church and guard was set 20 watch
it at night. The watcher was slightly
DOING in the mornings early hours,
when he was awakened by sound 5
issuing from the coffin. With a wild
idea that the ghost Of Daubenesque
was pursuing him, he ran shrieking
from the spot His cries were heard
by others who investigated his story
and distinguished mutfled cries com
ing from the coffin.
When it was carried into the pres
bytery and the lid was removed Dau.
benesque suddenly sprang out and to
the floor. His face was livid his
hands clen"hed, his teeth set. On
his forehead stood great drops of
perspiration While the listeners
stood aghast, he related that he had
fallen into lethargy and only re-
covered consciousness a few hours
before, when he realized his position
and at once began to shrek like a
mailman. But five minutes had
elapsed since the watcher heard his
cries. Within few hours later the
young mans auburn hair was strcaked
with gray. But the bright eyes are
beaming again, and the Daubenesque
family is rejoicing.
The story recalls that authentic, if
strange, incident which occurred in
France in 1910, Mile. Victorine La.
fOurcade, rich and beautiful, was
loved by Julian Bossuct, a poor jour
nalist, and by Il banker named Re
velle. She chose the latter, and a
few years later died, The romantic
journalist, longing for one more
glimpse OF the woman he loved,
opened her tomb and cut off lock
of her hair. just then Il moonbcam
shOne full i'll her face, The lover
started back The eyes were wide
open and seemed to imploro him.
The bare possibility of life made
him forget his fears, and he removed
her to a neighboring village, where
she shortly afterward returned TO
life, and to knowledge Of her love
for the journalist The pair lived in
America for twenty years, the hus-
hand believing her dead. When she
and BOssuet then returned to France
they met Revelle accidentally. He
recognized her and claimed her as his
wife. The courts decided that the
peculiar circumstances of the case
had broken all bonds between them,
both in law and equity.

Association OF Engineers.

The second social session of the
Association of Engineers held in their
rooms il the Terry building was pro.
ductive of an interesting discussion on
aluminium, opened by paper by Mr.. j.
G Rawn, and discussed in detail by
Messrs. Soule, Henderson, Wood, Rice,
Yeatman, Coleman and Wallace. Many
points of interest and suggestions as to
the use of this metal were brought out,
such as it's use in place of galvanized
iron and copper for corni :es and roofs,
as coating for bridges subject to the
action CT gases from engines, Innings
for tanks containing acid, etc. This
subject is OF particular interest in the
development of the mineral resources
OF Virginia, inasmuch as it is said to
exist in large quantities in the form oil
aluminium iron hydrates, ommonly
called boxite, which is one Of the most
valuable minerals known.

One of the most delighted audience 8
that has ever congregated In a circus
tent in Helena for many years, was the
crowd that gathered last night to sc
Harris circus. The public intuitively
put down all ten and twenty cent shows
as "suides," and generally correctly SC,
but there are exceptions, and Harris is
certainly entitled to that distinction.
There is not 'rotton" feat about the
ent re entertainment. The tumblers,
riders, acrobats, contortionists, clown,
t-apeze and horizontal bar performers,
in fact every man that appears in the
arena would be considered star in any
show on the road. The management are
gentlemanly and courteous to the public,
and the general verdict last night was
that it was the best circust that ever
visited us.-Daily World, Helena, Ark

here next Saturday, April 30.

Roanoke, Va, appears to be able and
willing to do more than its share in sus-
taining the credit of the country. The
bankers OF that enterprising and pro-
gressive town have Offered the Secretary
OF the Treasury 100000 in gold in ex.
change for United States Treasury
notes. If Roanoke is willing to assis.
the Treasury to the extent OF 500, OOO,
what amount should Baltimore bankers
contribute? Roanoke's population is
$4,000, Baltimore's, 100000. We trust
that our financiers will not be surpassed
in patriotism by those of a town of 25,-
600 inhabitants.
