TIT for Tat,

heard = good story on Col. Breckenridge
from a Kentucky congressman last night,
writes w. Il. Curtis TO the Chicago Record
1t seems that the defendant In the pending
breach Of promise case has a family of grown
up children, three girls and two boys. One
OF the latter Is partner in his fathers law
practice and has been active in taking depo-
sitions for the defense. He has sowed good
many wild oats, but not so many as his
brother, who Ia described as about the widest
and most reckless youth in the blue grass re-
gion. otlong before the present scandal
broke out young Breckenridge got into des-
perate row down In Kentucky, in which sew
eral men were cut and shot and himself badly
used up. Col. Breckenridge when he was in
Washington heard the news and tclegraphed
at once to Col. Shelby, his partner: Have
Bob kept In jail until return"
The instructions were carried out. As soon
ms Col. Breckenridge could leave Washington
he went to Lexington, made Bob pack up his
things and took him TO Philadelphia, where
he put him on board sailing vessel that was
bound for San Francisco around the Horn,
with instructions 10 the captain to discipline
him If necessary. lie hoped the voyage
would do the young man good. But the very
day the ship sailed the Pollard scandal was
published in the newspapers. OF course Bob
heard of 1t and read all the disgusting details
Whereupon he went to the telegraph office
and wired Col. Shelby at Lexington: "Have
father kept In Jail till return"

on new form here in San Francisco,
and the exhibitors have undoubtedly
profited by the experience gained on
the shore of Lake Michigan. The
largest spaces in the center of the
great floor of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building are occupied by
France, Germany, Russia and Italy.
Each of these countries is represented
by display of artistic md useful
manu- factures which has never before
been seen outside of the great Colum-
bian Exposition, and in most instances
the displays brought from there have
been augmented by new supplies
brought across the Atlantic and across
the continent especially for this dis
play
But in the midst of all this that is
not new to everybody, there is so
much in the Midwinter Exposition that
is universally unique and novel that
there is nothing of the "old story"
about it The American section is
particularly prolific in novelty, and it
occupies the largest place assigned to
any one country, SO that the interna-
tional character of the Exposition by
no means shuts out the glorification
of home industries in this beautiful in
dustrial fair.
The display of pain tings in the Fine
Arts building is the most gratifying
feature of the Fair. 1t far exceeds in
size and merit ANYTHING ever seen in
this part of the world. The chief of
the fine arts department did not wholly
depend upon Chicago to furnish HIS
walls, though many of his canvases
came from the Columbian Exposition.
There are pictures by well-known
American, French and German artists,
and prominent among them are hum
dred of the works of the best artists on
the Pacific coast. Connoisseurs say
that the Midwinter Art Palace is the
best arranged picture gallery that the
world has ever seen, and 1t certainly is
well adapted for the purpose to which
1t is put
In the eyes of eastern visitors the
citrus display naturally attracts the
most attention. 1t seems to be good
for eastern eyes to encounter a pear as
big as baby's head and peaches al-
most rs large, to say nothing of SO
many oranges in heaps and piles and
buildings that there is great CLEAN
of yellow before them all the time.
The rivalry between the northern and
southern citrus fairs, both of which are
held in the exposition grounds, has
been happily productive OF the best
displays in this line that have ever been
made, even in California. The build
ings devoted to this class of displays
are proving quite as popular as some of
the main exposition buildings and
California citrus fruits arc getting the
beat advertisement they have ever had.
One feature OF the exposition which
has emphasized itself since the open
ing day is the excellence Of tho cleo
trio illuminations- The system of arc
lighting is as complete as any one
could wish, and the incandesccnt sys-
TEN is we'll calculated to arouse en-
thusiasm. In these beautiful midwin-
ter evenings, whether the moon shines
or not, tho entire exposition grounds
are a. light as day. Long linea Of In
candeseent lights stretch the entire
lenrth u each u the main build.

When It was understood tn at tho
old man with his head bandaged up
and his face criss-crossed with strips
OF fcourt-plaster had been a victim OF
the cyclone, we gathered around to
hear his story.
Tho first thing ! heard" he be-
gan rs he looked around, "was a ter
rible moanin' and Rroanin'."
That was tho coming of the cy-
Clone" said one OF the passengers.
"Wall. no. I afterwsrd found out
that 1t was my old woman. She'd
fell off'n a chair and hurt her back.
The next thing that took notice OF
was q rushin' sound. as II thousand

flesh crawl"
THAT was the exultant voice of
the demon of the storm" said a young
woman with eye glasses and poet
ical look.

the old man. II thought 1t was. but
it turned out to be my darter Sal.
She was sloshin' around barefut and
trod on fish bono. was tellin her
that was glad on it when that cy-
clone struck the house with roar
like that OF a millyon wounded lions"
"And it was picked up like an
autumn leaf?" said the Chicago Times
man, getting out his note book.
'.No. sir. No, the house is right
there same as ever"
But it was unroofed?"
"No. the roof is all right When
that cyclone tackled my house she
bit off more'n she could chaw and
had to let go, She jest lodged to
the left with roar like q billyon
tigers all roarin' at once and struck
into my orchard
"And devastated everything in its
path. of course" remarked tall
young man with Roman nose and
two watch chains.
"Wall. no. She devastated one
peach tree which l was goin' to cut
down that same day, but the rest OF
'em refused to be devastated. Then.

"See here. old man." interrupted
the conductor, "did that cyclone
sweep away any of your property p"
"Not a doggoned swept
"And how did you get hurtP"
"My blamed old mewl ran away
with me next day and pitched me
into the bushes"
Then what are you talking about?"
"'Bout the cyclone OF course.

But that was the end. The crowd

unlikely that they will be compelled
to yield sooner or later.
Since the opening day no special
,ffort has been made to draw the
crowds. 1t has been the policy of the
Exposition management to let the
features of the Exposition speak for
and exclamations of sur
prise and satisfaction have been heard
on every hand.

SAhla IalAud.

Sable island is famous throughout
the Canadian maritime provinces for
its race of wild ponies. The little
creatures were originally placed upon
the island in order that they might
furnish food for shipwrecked mari
ners frequently cast away there. The
coarse salt grass of the island is cured
and stacked in summer time, aud upon
this the ponies feed all winter. 1t is
said that they eat their way deep into
the stacks and thus find their only
shelter from the storms. There is a
tradition current that they even eat
fish cast upon the shore. Considerable
droves of the ponies are taken to the
mainland in eorly autumn, and they
are sold in the Halifax market
