WIT OF GREAT MEN.
Beaconsfeld and Spurgeon Were Boil
Literally Endowed.

Beaconsfleld and Spurgeon Were Both
Literally Endowed.
The prompt wit of the late Lord
Beaconsfield is well known. On one
occasion when he was a member for
Bucks, he presided at the annual din
ner of the county agricultural society
at Aylesbury. Among the company,
says the New York Post, was a farmer
in the neighborhood, son of the Em-
erald Isle, and a red-hot radical. The
commencement of Mr.. Disraeli's
speeches was frequently characterized
by an almost painful hesitation, and on
this occasion the faltering was even
more noticeable than usual, but the
restless eyes were very bright, and the
master of fence was ready with parry
or point. "Speak up," cried the Irish
man; .get on faster" He had fallen
into the trap. Wait, my friend, said
the member; lit takes some time to
bring my ideas down to yours" Many
anecdotes, more or less apocrypbal,
have been current as to the wit Of the
late Rev. G.. III. Spurgeon. One, how
ever, which is perfectly authentic, is
characteristic of the man. On one oc-
,casion he was much annoyed by three
young men, who persisted in wearing
their hats. He appeared for the time
not to notice them, but proceeded to
tell his audience Of visit he had paid
to a Jewish synagogue. "When en-
tered" he said, 81 took off my hat, but
was Uniformed that the great mark of
respect was to keep it on. I did so,
though can assure you 1 felt very
strange wearing my hat in Il place of
worship. And now, as 1 paid this mark
of respect to the synagogue, may ask
those three Jews in the gallery to con-
form equally with our rules, end kind
ly uncover their heads?" The men coll

pacemakcrs on the kite track at Independ-
encc Ia. johnson rode the mile in
minute Sc 3-5 seconds, and as he was the
first whcclman to cut under two minutes
the feat caused u great sensation. johnson
and Eek were branded as fakirs and i'm
posters, but when johnson and other
wheelmen cut the record repeatedly until
johnson had mark of l minute AZ 3-5
seconds for the mile, besides defeating Zim-
norman, Sanger, Windle and other great
riders, it was plainly proved that the first
great mile in 1892 was us represented.
Under Eck's watchful care johnson has
become the champion skater of America
and is one of the greatest bicyclists against
time or in q race in the world. At Buffalo
Oct. 25, 1894, johnson rode q straight
away mile in l minute 35 2-5 seconds, the
fastest mile ever ridden on bicycle. Eek
has kept johnson constantly before the
public until the young athlete is one of
the best drawing cards at bicycle meets in
the country. The Wheel says Eck's con-
troll over johnson is little short of hyp-
motto. Eek seems to direct Johnson's ev-
cry act. The latter seems to have no mind
Of his own when his trainer is near. On
or off the track Eek does all the talking
and thinking. 1t is Il rare occurrence when
Johnson ever goes beyond monosyllable
when Eek is around, as he usually is. Eek
always talks of ''me and Johnnie" in an
offhand, fatherly, authoritative way. and
Johnnie seldom if ever displays much in
terest in what is being said. He leaves cv-
erything to Eek, and Eek on his side has
the most implicit faith and confidence in
Johnson's powers. That the famous rider
and his shrewd manager will make things
lively in the professional ranks Is O fore
gone conclusion.

vile Military band was given on Monu

very large crowd present and the band
playded with it's usual degree of excellence
and the music was much enjoyed. There
was one feature which was very annoying
to those interested in the music that of a
large number of children and some of
larger growth who all the while kept up
such a chatter of talking. laughing, and
even screeching, that there were times
when the softer and more beautiful strains
of the music could scarcely be heard at all.
1t is to be hoped that some method OF
silencing the crowd during the playing OF
he selections will be devised before the
next concert.
