Bragg thought it an outrage that en-

public entertainment in presence of
their betters. Tintop, on the contrary,
said he was proud to see SO many of his
men intelligent, soldierly. and SO thor
oughly capable of appreciating such
music and such company. As for the
opera people and the local manager,
they were enraptured. Connie, you
may be sure, was there to see. She
and her friend Miss Franzen had been
brought thiuher and taken home in a
carriage from the Empire, and invited
and escorted by the principal of the
public school, to whom, it transpired
later, tickets as well as instructions
had been sent beforehand, and 1t was
just about this time, Just before Christ

name for the blue-eyed Prussian,
and Schramm, to his manifest concern,
was hailed as '.Sergt. Cresus."

Heaviest Fall In Forty-Five Years.
NEW ORLEANS Feb. 16.-Not since
the winter of 1850 have such sights
been witnessed as those seen in this
city Thursday evening. From II a. m.
the snow had been falling heavily, and
as the foundation was good it formed
over eight inches deep in the city

the outskirts. BY evening all the

business men in many instances to

TRIPTOLoGY.
Some Instances or the Habit Among Per-
sons of Distinction. ~

Some Instances OF the Habit Among Fer.
sons of Distinction. 30 81
Horace Walpole humorously de-
scribed as "triptology" George the
Thirds habit of repeating three times
any remark he might make. 1t was
emphatic thinking aloud, and the au-
thor of Gossip of the Century" gives
this instance of the 'triptologicaP'
habit. The king was very fond of the
Weld family, and frequently stayed at
Lulworth castle, their family seat.
One evening he attended ball there,
and the daughter of the house, a hand
some woman, danced SO gracefully
that the king expressed aloud his ad-
mirat tion in the characteristic form:
''Fine woman, fine woman, fine
woman! Dances well, dances well,
dances well!"
The habit ran in the royal family,
and his son, the duke of Cambridge,
inherited it. The duke attended church
on Sunday mornings, and would ex-
press in an audible tone, and with
threefold repetition. his appreciation
of the service and opinion of the SER

clergyman pronounced theexhortation;
'Let US pray"
"Aye, to be sure, why not? Let US
pray, let us pray. let us pray, repeated
the duke from his pew.
On another occasion, while the Ten
Commandments were being read, the
duke thus emphatically indoxsed the
eighth:
'Steal! No, of course not! Mustn't
steal, mustn't steal, mustn't steal.s
William ~. did not inherit his
fathers "tripto1ogy,a but when any
question was brought before him on
| which he was not prepared to express
an opinion he would say: That's an
other matter"
On his deathbed, watching through
an open window the sun sinking below
the horizon, he said refectively to the
archbishop of Canterbury, who stood
| near: !.
"Ah, my friend, / shall not see an.

The Cuban Steamship Co. won sig
nal victory in New Orleans the other
day.
The company had two steamships loading
with cotton for Europe. In consequence of the
strike Of the screwmen and other laborers en-
gagged on the river 'front.' their vessels found 1t
impossible to get their cotton aboard, and set
their crews to work on it. The strikers OBJ
jected to this citing state law Of 1880, which
made the employment of the crew Of vessel
in loading or discharging her unlawful. The
mayor ana police interfered and stopped the
work.
the company appealed to the United States
court Judge Parlange decided strongly in its
favor It declared that the law prohibiting the
employment of o crew in loading and unload
ing, which has never before been challenged
and has been rigfdly enforced. was unconstitu-
tional. The mayor and police were prohibited
from interfering with these vessels, and the
Judge even suggested that the company had
good grounds for suit against the city au-
thorities for having stopped the work OF un-
loading already underway.

Charles a. Gayarre.

Charles Arthur Gayarre, the his
torian of Louisiana, died at New Or
leans in his ninety-frst year.
Mr.. Ga yarre was one OF the most diSt!n-
guished of Louisiana Crenles. He came of
distinguished family, being the grandson Of
the first Spanish treasurer of Louisiana,
as well as of Debose, first mayor of
New Orleans and the first man to raise
sugar in Louisiana. Gayarre was born in
New Orleans in 1905. He studied law IN
Philadelphia. In 1880 he was elected to the
state legislature; in 1881 attorney general,
and in 1882 was appointed judge of the city
court. In 1881 he was again sent to the legis-
lature, and in 1885 elected to the United States
senate for the full term of six years. The
election was peculiar in this, that Gayarre
Was demGcrar while the wings we're in ma
iority in the legislature. The Creoles, how
ever. without regard to politics rallied to
GayarreS support and he was elected. He
went to Washington to take his seat, but was
attacked with asevere illness, resigned the SEN
atorship and went to Europe, where he resided
for nine years. During that time he collected
the material from which he subsequently
wrote his History of Louisiana"
He returned to Louisiana in 1874. and was
again elected to the Legislature In 1916 he was
appointed secretary of state, and as such
founded the Louisiana state library. In lS47
he produced his History of Louisiana in
France, subsequently rewriting it in England
He was afterwards elected member OF
the secession convention, congressman
reporter of the supreme court and
held other offices, but abandoned them
and politics for literature, writing large
number of books, mainly historical, among
them q History of Louisiana Philip II. OF
Spain,' Fernando LelamoS" "Aubert Du-

articles to the leading magazines. He aban-

making things for the children, and
Miss Franzen of the public school,
who lived in the next block, took such
interest in Lot and Billy and taught
them so much. Why, they would
really be in clover, were poor father
only better. And then one evening
when Schramm had ridden into town
and left his horse at the Empire and
had come promptly around to see the
Herr Rittmeister, he was amazed TO
find tall, gray-mustached, soldierly
man seated by the captains side, while
there-right by Connie-in civilian
dress stood tall, slender young fell
low. at sight of whom the sergeant's
eyes clouded, and he would have re-
tired, but was too late, for with one leap
Perry Thornton had him by the hand.
'.Schramm, by all that's glorious!
Father, look here!" And before the
Prussian ex-hussar could realize it,
veteran colonel Of dragons was wiring
ing one of his hands, while the lieu
tenant clasped the other. Nor would
they or the Morgans let him go.
81 have letter from Berlin which !
am charged to give you, Herr Won
Rhetz," said Thornton pere, and at the
name Schramm's lips quivered and
twitched and he turned very white,
but straight in the colonel's kindly face
looked the unfinching eyes of blue.
Yet even then he would have asked
to be permitted to retire-the soldier
in him shrinking from what he deemed
Intrusion, and strange, restless
gnawing at his heart iInpelling him to
go and leave them to the joy of a re-
union in which no doubt he had really
no place-but, one and all, they for
bade Constance held in her hands
two cabinet photographs, and Perry
stepped forward, took one OF these,
and, holding it forth, said to Schramm:
s..If you need more reason, sergeant,
here it is, for this is the picture OF q
young lady who says she must have
yours, and quickly, too"
THE young lady is most gracious,
Herr Lieutenant, and most beautiful" !"
said Schramm, studying it attentively;
then, glancing up: "The lieutenant's
sister,"
.sNot quite" laughed Perry, blush
ing, though that's what my sisters
are beginning to call her-rather pre-
maturely."
And then in his perplexity Schramm
gazed past the handsome boy and
sought Comics face. 1t was beaming.
Pardon" be said, 81 am so dull. Does
the lieutenant mean it is his betrothed?"
"Yes, and we are here to drink her

For one moment Schramm's eyes
sought doubtfuily the eyes of the
| maiden who stood there SO unfinch-
ingly and smilingly before them. and
then his hand went out in earnest.

CHAPTER XVI

A winter OF unusual severity was that
which followed upon the heels Of q
summer campaign that had been full of
lively excitement for Tintop and the
regiment. Once more, however, the
spirit Of social gayety was abroad and
the Christmas holidays were merry
with many charming function. Hops,
germans, dinners and dluncheon-p parties,
theatricals. minstrelsy and soldier
balls, day after day and night after
night, were in full career at Ransom.
while dense and binding .sriow-storms
blocked the roads and SOON succeeded
in making the trip from fort to town
more Of venture than the winter pas
sage OF the Atlantic. Starting from
town with sunshine and sleigh-bells,
aone might encounter storm and temp
sest before half the distance was trav-
ersed. December, though sharply cold,
had been bright and beautiful until
