Facts stranger Than Fiction.

Mark Twain wrote a story year or
two ago which purported to be an eN-
pose OF the methods by which Jean
Francois Millet became famous. Ac-
cording TO Mr. Clemens, Millet was a
party to the booming" OF his pictures,
the climax being the artists supposed
death. Instead of dying he was living
comfortably in some out OF the way
place. and painting an undiscovered
picture now and then.

not that of the small boy, who is around
everywhere, and who bounced upon the

$500. When Mr.. Duncan received 1t he
eagerly counted the money and, finding

A bicycle seems to call out a mans
latent peculiarities with unfailing GER
tainty, and there are always interest
ing examples of such development to be
seen among the riders in the park or
on the roads. A gray whiskered man
rides on the boulevard almost every day
with a small Skye terrier in a wire
basket fastened to the front of the BIZ
cycle just below the handle bars. He
has been riding this way for several
months. and is never seen without the
dog. The animals expression is a Gu
rious combination of terror and ennui,
and there is an alertness In his look
which might be understood to indicate
that he would jump out at the first op-
portunity. Other similar riders are to
be seen on the road every day, but I'M

4 Tall Reunion.

There was n. family reunion at Tones
ia, Pa. recently, says the Oil City Der
rick, that calls forth more than mere
mention. 1t was a gathering together Of
father, mother, and six sons, all Of the
latter over twenty-one years OF age.
This family group had not all been to-
gether since the boys. some Of them
years ago, went out into the world to
fight their battles for themselves. Mr..
and Mrs. Harmon Coleman are the
father and mother, both hale and
hearty. and the sons names are ]. f.,
Henry, William, j. F., $. w. and Frank.

much TO mention the fact OF the happy
reunion as 10 try and picture TO the
reader the size of the six long-separated
sons. or rather their respective and col

risen early to gather flowers to decorate
the temples. Soft laughter rose on the
fragrant air, and looks Of trouble were
for the time cast aside.
Could one conceive of more peace
full and contented people? Yet sincere
as their happiness was now, 1T was only
as ray of broken light streaming
through a rift in the dark clouds.
For Megara was besieged, and the
camp of the enemy lay just outside the
walls OF the city. A truce had been de-
clared that the people might celebrate
their holy rites to the gods.
And SO, grateful for the lull OF the
strife which for six months had borne
heavily upon them, the people t--tew
care to the winds and put all their
hearts and souls into the pure pleasure
of this one blessed day. They needed
not that this reprieve was but the false
hope sent by cruel fate, and that the
darkest hour of their trial was COM
ing swiftly on silent wings.
The people now passed in throngs, all
gaily attired in their holiday clothes
which for months had been put aside,
1t was time for the ceremony of sac
riflce, and the young maidens, dressed
in spotless white, with white flowers
entwined in their locks, and trailing
over their flowing robes, looked like
seraphs, with their young faces all
aglow with holy enthusiasm.
On a smooth. rolling plain, covered
with its natural carpet of green, and
dotted with flowers, which seemed like
a sprinkling of sunbeams, the altar had
been erected. The procession formed
slowly, the white-robed maidens COM
ing first, chanting, and swaying slight
ly to an easy dancing step. Then fol
lowed the youths of the kingdom, their
boyish voices taking up the strain OF
the maidens, swelling 1t louder and
rolling it over the long ranks.
When these had formed circle about
the altar, long avenue was left clear
