JOHN LIS $50 BREAKFAST.
The Ex-Chsmpion Ordered Everything
That Was on the Hotel Menu.

Many stories are told of the prodigality
OF John l.. sullivan when he was the wor-
SHIPPED of the sporting public, and this one
goes To prove that the truth lay in ma
jority. The tale Is vouched for by Hugh
Coyle, the well known theatrical manager,
who was the advance agent of the combi-
nation of boxers which Al Smith took west
in 1886 with John l.. us the attraction
Coyle told the story To "A party of clubmen
One morning at the Baldwin hotel in
san Francisco Coyle went To call Sullivan.
He was invited To enter the three rooms
that John l.. occupied and asked To order
breakfast The bell was touched and "a
French waiter responded.
What you got for breakfast" asked
Sullivan.
And before the waiter had chance to
reply John ordered, Bring us some
Here is the menu, returned the waiter

Going To the manager of the hotel, the
waiter related what had occurred. The
manager was not going to thwart the pur.
pose of such good customer as John L.
Sullivan, so he ordered the entire outfit
sent up.
There was long delay. During it John
was raising high jinks in his bedroom at
having To wait 40 long for his morning
meal. Coyle quoted him as best he could,
and when four walters finally appeared
with trays bearing the viands John was
pacified by the imposing procession.
That's the way to wait on an Ameri-
can, a" grunted John, and then he sat down
and partook of something from every dish
that was placed on the five tables required

GIRLS MATCHED" FOR FARE.
Then spent Some Time Arguing N To who
Was "Matching.,

They boarded the car at Bellevue place,
the red headed girl and she Of the dimpled
chin. Both began IA mad hunt for their
pockets and their purses. The mere man
opposite watched them with a dawning
smile. He expected the regulation "who
shall pay the fare" argument. Mans joy
In that scene never wears out. Thus easily
are men amused. The conductor waited
on the platform, nor came forward for his
fare, knowing full well, wise man that he
was, that the time for the collection there
of was not get ripe. Still the mere man
opposite watched, ready to be amused.
Both girls produced their purses at once.
The time for amusement had come, but
not the time for collection.

the dimpled chin. Astonishment, appro-
baton, not amusement, were the lot of the
mere man.
''All right returned my lady of the
auburn locks Each damsel extracted a
coin from her purse, stood up, found her
pocket, replaced the purse and proceeded
TO the business Of the moment. The mere
man was breathless. Even the conductor
was interested. This was something new
In minute two coins lay exposed on two
daintily gloved palms.
"Therc I've lost, quoth she of the au-
burn locks. My turn to pay the freight {"
"Not bit of itr' replied the damsel
with the dimpled chin. II was matching
you.
"why, Marian, you know was match
ing you. "
And SO on for several minutes. The
mere man breathed once more He had
feared that he was presiding at the funeral
Of the car fare argument, that the last
word had been said. But he knew now
that 80 long as there be women folk in the
world the last word will never be said
Meanwhile the maidens opposite decided
to perform the ceremony once more, with
a distinct understanding as to who was
matching who. 1t was decided that she
Of the dimpled chin was to pay the
freight.
Both began once more hunting for
purse and pocket, the one to restore the
coin she had used in the rite, the other to
exchange it for a dime. Both had used

A Hamlet In Norway.

Occasionally the traveller, vending his
way through the fir forests, may light upon
some weather. hamlet lying in fertile
district In such hamlets as these may
often be seen some Of those ancient church
es which are still filled with the quaint
medieval relics which once marked the
dawning days Of early northern Christen-
dom, and where the delicate hucd and rich
ly embroidered altar cloths contrast most
strangely with the rough baptismal founts
and the crude oil paintings which adorn
the walls. Figures carved out on colored
wooden shrines also abound, both allegoric
and symbolic in their substance.
Here brave st. George-seemiEgly pa
iron saint of Norway as of britain
wrestles with the fire splitting dragon and
thrusts his bright cross hilted sword right
through the monsters scale bound heart
Here good King Olaf checks his fiery war
steed to give aims TO poor crippled men
dicant, while all around him saints and
fiends innumerable depict the first crusade
of the white cross Of Christendom against
the flercely flaming swords of heathendom
And amid all these symbols OF the early
Catholic faith few things seem stranger
than the ancient "skampallen, those
dreaded stools of penitence whercon the
impious traitor the forsworn or felon, he
who had broken the most sacred laws of
church or state, was doomed to stand In
shameful penance at the foot of the high
altar SO that the whole world might gaze
upon the dishonor of one who was thus
held to be condemned OF heaven and nc
cursed OF men, a custom which some say a
later age has i'll dispensed with West

GREAT YULE LOG FIRES.
Beacon Lights Which Burned For Days
and Were Fed Whole Trees.

biologists tell us-those singular remains
OF gigantic fires and roasted bones which
science has discovered on many northern
shore-mark the site where the yule logs

are imbedded in the old world ash heaps
bones which careful investigation assures
us have been roasted. Huge cooking places
they must once have been. The bones
strewing the ground after carouse seem
to have been a special feature of Danish
feast.
We have only to recall the death of FL
phage, the patriot archbishop of Canter-
bury, in the days of Ethelred who, although
prisoner in the Danish camp, steadily re-
fused to deliver himself by ransom, saying
IL would be treason in him to pay the enc
mics Of England. "Gold, bishop, goldr'
shouted the Danish troops, thirsting more
for gain than blood, until, irritated by his
constancy, they ran to "A heap of bones and
horns of oxen--the relies Of their repasts--
and showered them from all sides upon the
aged Saxon. Elphage soon fell half dead
and was dispatched with an AK by one of
the pirates.
We may gather some idea Of these gil
gantic yule fires from the ancient edicts
and the illusions in the sagas TO the all
important duty of kindling the beacon fires
at the approach of an enemy. Wherever
the Norsemen settled these beacon fires
were established and their wardens APP

In one of the peaceful arts we have the
astonishing example Of the Austrian mu-
stefan and composer Mozart. This lad
was what we call prodigy. He was the

Of the city of Salzburg. At years Of age
and you will admit that Is truly young
he played the violin with the greatest
ease, with an expression really wonderful
He also composed those old fashioned
dances, 80 quaint and sweet, called min
utes, besides other simple pieces. At he
made a tour Of Europe, giving concerts,
playing before kings and queens and sur
prising the whole musical world Then
when he was about l2 he began TO write
operas, and so original and delightful were
these that he may be said to have founded
a school or manner Of writing musical com

ing done the work of two lifetimes he died
