A POSER FOR HIS MOTHER.

She Couldn't Be Consistent in Furnishing
Her Two Sons.
Children are philosophers very fire.
quently, but this does not alter the fact
that mother with four small boys will
have more or less patching to do every
day. There are two sections of small
boys panteloons that viii succuInb to
wear and tear unless constructed of
ten-inch aTtnor plate. Anyone can guess
that these are the seat and knees. This
mother with four boys, living on Har-
wood street, has a job of nlendingevery
might. Little Tom manages to wear
the knee of his breeches out every day.
Christmas night his mother said to
him: "ToIn If you wear hole in your
pants tomorrow shall cut them off
above the knees; am tired of patching
your trousers every night" Yesterday
when Tom came home to dinner the
knees of his trousers were frazZled out
as usual, and true to her word his moth
er took a pair Of scissors and clipped
the garment above the knees. Tom felt
that he could not face his playmates in
any such trousers, and, broken-hearted,
he resorted to tears and wept bitterly.
His grief continued until Jimmy came
in, and when Tom discovered two large
holes in the seat of his brothers
trousers he gave way to laughter.
Toms laughter became so boisterous
that his mother asked him: what on
earth is the matter with you?" Tom
only pointed to those holes in the seat
of his brothers trousers and shouted
hilariously. Still no one saw where the
laugh came in, and when his mother
again demanded the cause of his hilarity
he replied: Il am thinking. mamma.

off his pants above them two holes.'-

ROMANTIC SUICIDE
or an Hungarian Count-hn American
Actresc Mt tho Iiottom OF 1t.

BUDA PEST, August lA.-In social
and other circles little else Is talked OF
here to-day than Of the romantic sui
eide and funeral OF Count Arthur Pal
lavlclnla. n lieutenant OF hussarS, who
was buried yesterday. The lieutenant.
a handsome young fellow only twenty
one years OF age, became greatly at
tached TO Miss Ethel harrison. one OF
the five harrison sisters. the we'll
known American variety artists, whose
doings In New York and Berlin have
attracted so much attention. and whose
~Scandalous conduct In Berlin brought
upon them an order OF expulsion from
Germany.
Count P%allavlcinI sought In every
way possible to induce Miss Ethel to
return his love. but she only laughed
at his protests of affection and appar-
emily paid no heed to his threats to
end his life. II she d. not alter her man.
ncr towards him. On Tuesday Count
PallavICinia was found dead, having
committed suicide by shooting himself
with a revolver. In his left hand was
u photograph OF Miss Ethel and q slip
of paper upon which the unfortunate
young man had written: Il beg Miss
Ethel BarrIson to come TO my Coffin
and press n kiss upon It."
The strange features OF the case nat
urnlly aroused much comment, which
was not in any way favorable to tn.
American music hail artists and no
body believed that Miss Ethel would
grant her lovers last request. But,
contrary to expectation, she appeared
at the funeral yesterday, dressed In
the deepest mourning.
The affair has caused a revival OF
stories, In which the harrison sisters
have figured, including OF the sis
tiers with Count BlrnstofH. OF New
York. Then II IS recalled that In Feb
ruary last Count Won Wedel. u young
officer In the German army was arrest
ed for having pawned jewelry which
he had purchased on installments. The
disclosures which followed showed that
the young man had spent quite n for
tune on the harrison sisters and that
when ht9 money became exhausted. he
obtained funds in the name indicated
in order to spend 1t upon them.
