An Artists joke.

Holman Hurt, who began life as clerk
to an auctioneer and estate agent, was
constantly drawing portraits when he
should have been drawing up leases. and
in his chosen profession he was never slow
to seize the flying moment. II won't buy
your oranges" he said to an old woman
who had entered the office in search of
customer, "but I'll paint your portrait"
Old Hannah was delighted, and there
upon she was put on paper in her habit az
she lived, her basket ON her head and an
orange in her hand. But one incident Of
this tedious yet ambitious period of the
artists life mover ceased to afford him
amusement.
The windows in his room were made Of
ground glass, and as he had little to do he
spent much Of his time in drawing flies
upon its roughened surface. A blot of ink
suf1iced for the body, and some delicate
pencil strokes for the wings, and at dis
tance the deception was perfect.
Day by day the number increased, and
one morning his employer came in, stop.
ped before the window and exclaimed: "l
can't make out how it is. Every day that
l come into this room there seem to be
more and more flies" And, taking out his
handkerchief, he attempted to brush them
away.-Pearson's Weekly.

even amiable, and make money out of
his lethargic incapacity for affairs, so
long as 1t suits their book to do so. When
their interests point in the other direc-
ton they are masters of the trick of
bringing him out into the streets forth
with. sword in hand, with mad beasts
lust for slaughter and outrage.
1t amounts to a rule in the Ottoman
empire that whenever Christians are be-
ing raided and butchered by the Os-
manli Turk 1t is because some group of
Christian" agitators has deemed the
moment opportune for giving the world
a fresh object Lesson in Turkish brutality.
Doubtless there is much to be said in
defense of the employment of artifice
against brute strength. Each time that
the experiment succeeds in provoking a
war or European Intervention some fur
ther curtailment of the Turks power in
Europe results. And that he may soon
be driven out, bag and baggage" has
come to be the innermost desire Of all of
us.-Saturday Review.

Danger In Wandering Shot.

In spitelof the utmost care on the part
of shooters,there are many fatal or rnaim-
ing acciderts. What happens when no care
is exercised Is matter of almost daily re-
port for newspapers Bullets glance around
corners in a way that makes the woods al
ways place of danger. The eccentric
courses of shot from shotguns are seldom
known, buttcertain it Is that they some-
times leavesthe muzzles Of the guns to fy
almost at right angles to the direction Of
the aim. An Englishman aimed at a
driver pheasant high in theoir. His host
was far outiof the ordinary range Of the
gun as 1t was then aimed. One;of the
shot hit him'in the neck. Tho shot had
left the gun at an angle that took 1t five
rods to one side of the direction,the rest Of
the charge took. Like accidentshave been
recorded, while many kills of game are
told of that are inexplicable asave by the
fact of wandering shot. So 1t is that
many of the knowing sportamen refuse to
shoot unless all persons are directly to the
right or leftiof them lest q zstray puts out
an eye.-New York,Sun.

Christians and Turks

The Turk has made such criminal
rool OF himself in Armenia that all Chris

him and to sympathize warmly with
anybody who sheds his blood. The ap-
parent TACT that in Crete thus far ten
Turks have been slain for every Chris

with outside sentiment. We are. all in

Took 1t For @ Tip.

The lighthouses in England are period
ically visited by the inspecting officers Of
the Trinity House brethren, whose funo-
tion is to 500 that everything is in proper
order. On one occasion, while examining
the mechanism of the monster revolving
lamp belonging to lighthouse, one Of the
gentlemen, wishing to see how many Sec
onds would elapse in completing a revolu-
ton, took a half crown piece from his
pocket and placed it on the revolving
framework.
Watch in hand, he patiently waited for
the coin to come round again to where he
was standing, but no half crownappeared.
The seconds lengthened into minutes
still no half crown!
"Strangei" he exclaimed. "What can
be the meaning of it?'
In order to ascertain the cause of the
strange phenomenon he walked around to
the other side of the lamp and, in doing
SO, encountered one of the lighthousemen,
who touched his hat and said, 'Thank
you, sir,' in an undertone.
The man, seeing the coin coming toward
him, had pooketed it, thinking 1t was
meant for a tip.-New York Herald.

A PROMISED MILL
San Francisco Sports Are Pleased With the
Prosoect

oAu TTaHCiSCo SpOSt6 Are Pieaoeo With the
Prospect
SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-San Fran
cisco is to have another big glove con-
test By the general run of sports it is
considered about equal in Importance
to the Corbett-Sharkey four-round af-
fair, for though neither of the prin-
cipals couples as exalted position in
the world of pugilism as Pompadour Jim
their average Of excellence as fighters is
superior to any that might have been
struck from the combined regulations
of Corbett and the sailor prior to their
recent meeting.
The men who will figure in the coming
contest are Choynski and Peter Maher
They had almost arranged to settle the
opposition of superiority in New York
when j. j. Groom of the National club
OF this city stepped in with an offer that
was liberal enough to turn the thoughts
of the rival heavyweights towards San
Francisco.
Groom has agreed to furnish purse
of $500 for an eight-round match, to take
place on the evening Of August 9Th. The
arrangements have been at standstill
for some days, owing to Groom's alb

OF Pittsburg, who handles Maher and
Parson Davies of Chicago, who directs
the fortunes of Choynski, kept the wires
tingling in vain endeavor to locate the
enterprising sports promoter, who had
unfolded such visions Of wealth to the
managerial eyes.
For a short while yesterday matters
looked desperate. Quinn, who had sped
several kilograms in this direction and
had received no answer wired Davies
in Chicago that he considered the Ma
tional club was simply amusing itself
at the expense of the fighters. Davies
thereupon sent dispatch here, saying
that If arrangements were not conclud-
ed forthwith New York would get the
mill.
Groom arrived here from Glen Ellen in
the midst of the long-distance turmoil
and Immediately hunted UP Eddie Grea-
ney, the local representative of Choyn-
ski. Groom stated that his offer of
$4,000 still held, and hat he would deposit
two sums Of $1,000 each in bank to re-
munerate Choynski and Maher respec-
lively in case he failed to pull the men
In the ring.
This was deemed highly satisfactory.
and It is understood that MAhsr and his
