ANECOOTE OF FIELD.
The Poet Is Recalled by Means of Ane
dote In Many Newspaper Offices.

The Poet Is Recalled by Means of Anec-
dote In Many Newspaper Offices.
Many anecdotes illustrating Eugene
Fields character are told III the news
paper offices of st. Louis, where he did
his first newspaper work. The paper
with which he was connected was never
prosperous, and strikes among the re-
porters were as numerous as among
the compositors on account of failure
TO get their pay.
One day a big story occurred in
Belleville, about IA miles away. Mr..
Field was ordered to go after it, and
given two dollars for expenses. He
spent about half of it for meal, and
then went to the depot to get his train.
While waiting for it a woman from
Kansas, with several children with her,
trying to get east to some point in In
diana, came into the depot stranded.
Field heard the story, and, placing his
remaining dollar in a hat, took up a
collection for her, raising the money
necessary to send her to Indiana.
In the meantime, the train for the
scene of the story pulled away and his
paper was beaten on it the next morn
ing. The poets explanation of it to
an irate editor was: what is story
like that to a woman with starving
FAMILY who wants to get back home p
One day the business manager, after
having vaini< tried to raise the money
for salaries, stood off the staff with
promises based on the expected sue
cess of the paper after the election was
over.
He then went to talk to Mr.. Field in
a similar strain, but prefaced it by
saying: IF you owned this paper
what would you do with it in this cam
paign?"
THE way I'm feeling now" replied
the humorist, I'D trade it for por-
terhouse steak and some hash brown
potatoes"
At another time in appreciation of
some big news beat Mr.. Field had en-
gineered as city editor, the business
manager said: Gene, I'm going to
raise your salary"
"If you'll just raise part of it, old
man, I'll be satisfied. If you raise it
all, I'll lend you half of it." replied the
humorist.-St. Louis Journal.

The people of Holland are commonly
as matter-of-fact as the Scotch, and a
figurative phrase bothers them sorely.
Not long ago an American traveller
found in a cafe at Amsterdam Dutch
man who had travelled much, and who
spoke English perfectly well. The
Dutchman was smoking a china pipe of
remarkable size and beauty, and the
American, as an admirer and collector
of such brica-brac, took the liberty to
comment upon it. you could not
stumble upon pipe like that every
day" said the American. The Dutch
man took three or four whiffs at the
pipe, and then slowly removed it from
his mouth. Certainly not without
breaking it," he said, gravely.-Youth's

A PrecOclOuS Maid.

A precocious little maid of about five
went to church one Sunday recently
with her mother, a devout member and
regular attendant of the Episcopal
church. The little one sat very quietly
and demurely through all the long serv-
ice, but her quick little ears and bright
little brain were not SO quiet as was in

up into her mothers face and, Mann

A Wonderfully 1neolliqcnt Horse Now Az.
tonishlng tho London Public.
It cannot be said Of the horse, a.
Hcine said Of tho monkey, that 1t does
not talk for fear Of being put to work.
Probably the ultimate degree To which
the training Of animals may be cnrried
Is reached in the case Of the talking,
horse that literally made its bow to the
public recently vt the Crystal palace,
says the London Daily News. Mazeppa
is an Arab, educated, so to say, In
America, and it's extraordinary capaci-
ty for learning was manifested before
nm astonished and enthusiastic audi.
ence. In the strict meaning Of the
word the horse does not talk, but is
capable OF answering questions nd-
dressed to 1t. 1t even understands
French or German when 1t hears II
spoken, though 1t does not speak these
languages, in which it is not less ac-
complished than some human beings.
The animal not only appears to think,
but is capable Of expressing itself In
telligibly by signs. 1t has . special
talent for arithmetic.
The audience was invited promis-
cuously to call out number Of figures,
which were arranged in rows on q
blackboard, and Mazeppa, after looking
over them, gave the sum Of the sddi-
ton by paving the ground in every
case the exact number of times neces-
sary to Indicate the result As mere
trick this would be surprising enough,
but, considering the figures were taken
atrandom from among the audience,
ladies and gentlemen, and, In particu-
lar, eager little boys contributing, col
lusion seemed out Of the question, and
Alazeppa's good faith was established
by the still more remarkable achieve
ment that followed The horse was
directed to count the number Of per-
sons in given rows of the audience, and,
having done so more than once, pro-
ceeded to indicate the number Of
women and the number Of men In any
particular row. Having passed this
examination, Mazeppa stood forth to
answer any question to which it was
possible TO give a reply directly, by
means Of shake OF the head, signify
ing either "Yes" or NO. = or in figures
Thus the day Of the week and the
month Of the year, or the date Of o
birthday, revealed to the trainer, Prof.
II. s. Mcclure, was promptly found by
tho horse, any attempt to deceive it
meeting always with decidedly EN-
phatic negative This astounding en-
tertainment concluded with an imita-
tion by Mazeppa of young man pay
ing his addresses to young Indy. The
horses affectation Of tenderness adds
n very humorous touch to an excellent
piece Of pantomime.

The hotel hermits are more widely
known than the hermits Of the big
office buildings, but the latter come il
for q good deal Of comment in o desul-

their seclusion. There are men in the
big hotels, says the New York Sun, who
boast Of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the
building in years Other hotel hermits
go to their Offices every morning, re.
turn at a certain time in the after
noon, and then remain steadfastly in
doors until the following day. They
are intimately acquainted with all
the goings Oh In the big hostelry
which serves them as home, and
have an active interest in It's various
departments The hermits Of the Of
fee buildings sometimes sleep in them,
but as d rule they have lodgings some
where in the lower gapt Of the town,
where they put in eight or ten honrs
out Of the twenty-fonr. But at all
other hours they are TO be found in the
big building which serves them as an
Office, and practically as Q home.
A great number Of men 60 to the
