Labouchere and tho Duke.

Once, in days long past, knew duke
at Florence Che was from Sicily where
most persons arc dukes). He had been
banished by King Bomba. Ho was rich,
and he ought to have been happy. But he
was not, and he confded his woes to me.
He had no decoration. "You have antia.
uities in your island, I said He replied
that he had heard that there werc such
things. ''Do you know anything about
them?'' continued. Nothing" he an
swered. "Then get man to write book
about them, kavo it properly illustrated,
bring it out as your own, have some copies
beautifully bound and send one to each Of
the crowned heads in Europe, kings, dukes,
electors and SO on" "But wherefore. rly
friend?' he asked. "a certain number OF
them will send you On order in return for
your gift. Mind-quarto and well bound
I said
Two years later returned to Florence,
and went to somo official ceremony. My
duke was there. He was arrayed in rib
bons like rainbow, and he jingled as Inc
walked, such was the number of tho metal
plates about him. The grateful creature
threw himself into my arms. 81 owe
them all to you" " he said.-London Truth.

Not Shiftless, but Polite,

A Boston young man who once took a
riding journey of five weeks in South Car
olna speaks with enthusiasm of the DO
liteness of the farmers and other plain
people with whom he stopped from time
to time. On one occasion he took dinner
at farmhouse and aftcrward sat upon the
front porch, talking to his host and think
ing to postpone his departure till the cool
of the evening
The southerner kept examining the sky
as if apprehensive of a storm and looked
with dislnay at his crops scattered over the
fields, evidently fearing that they would
be ruined.
"What a piece Of southern shiftlessness r'
the Bostonian said to himself. "This lazy
fellow prefers gossiping to working al
though the probability is that his crops
will be ruined before nightfall!"
After awhile however, the idea came
into the northerner head that perhaps his
host felt it impolite to leave guest, and
SO sat asking the news from the north aud
telling humorous anecdotes, while longing
to get at his crops
No sooner did the traveller arrive at this
possible explanation of his hosts conduct
than he bade him cordial but brief fare
well, sprang upon his horse and rode away
Turning in his saddle a moment later,
he saw his host with pitchfork in his
hand dashing at full speed round the cor
ner of the house to the barn, that he might
get out his horse and set to work. -

The Bravest Man.

I recall travelling companion, an Eng
lish soldier a sergeant, who wore the colors
of the queen with smartness that be-
came them. He had been all through the
Egyptian and tho Sudanese wars and told
much of what he had seen, telling it well.
We were in the night express, and the
others in the carriage slept in various
stages of deshabille and discomfort Tho
rain beat on the windows, and the train
roared and rocked and tangled as it rushed
southwark. But only heard the strong
voice of my neighbor as he poured out
story after story of the two campaigns,
and now we laughed, and now We fell to
silence for space as he turned from the
wild jollity of camp to its queer sudden
pathos and spoke Of the bravery that went
unrewarded and the great deeds that could
never be recompensed.
"For it amt the best of US that's deco
rated" he said, "and, after all, if fellow
drops behind in a rush and has all his
wounds in front what better medal could
he have than that?' But glanced at his
breast, and smilingly shook my head. He
was willing to tell story after story of
what his chums had done and what he
had heard of Others, but he did not soy
how he had gained that plain little cross,
and he only Redeemed and grew taciturn
when asked about it. "'Twas nothing, ="
he said awkwarGly and there was no
further word of it to be got from him
" twas Of no consequence. Now, if they
had given it to- And he plunged into
another story, which ended in such q man
ner that we had both to stare hard out of
the window.-Macmillan Magazine

Eight Thousand Mics Per Second.

Tho tclegraphers have never, to my
knowledge, made but q single series Of
tests for tho purpose Of determining the
actual amount of time which elapses while
q signal is being flashed from America to
Europe along the Atlantic cable. The
tests referred to were made at the McGill
university Montreal, in June 1891. In
carrying out these experiments duplex
circuit was arranged on both land and sea
along the entire line, which connects
Montreal with Waterville, ireland. When
the limo was cleared" chronograph was
attached to the observatory wire at Mont
real and everything declared to be in
readiness. Tho instrument clicked off the
signal, while the experimenters watched
the chronograph with breathless interest.
1t did not seem "like an age of sus-
pense," however, for within Is seconds
tho chronograph recorded the return of the
signal, while it slowly dawned upon the
interested scientists present that the flash
had actually made the round trip from
Montreal to Ireland in q period of time
but little greater than onc-sixteenth of a
minute. In that very short space Of time,
infnitesimal and almost unthinkablc, I
might say, that electric message was flash
ed a distance almost as great as third
tho circumference of the world, or, to be
e4qct, S,022 miles. Other experiments
made the samo day showed q variation Of
from to IL seconds for the signal to make
round trip,-St. Louis Republic.

Blaine and Gail Hamilton.

Mr.. Blaine always liked Gail Hamilton,
his wifes cousin, and she was familiar
figure in his Augusta home. Full of sym
pathy with his ambitions, she helped him
and cheered him, besides being Mrs
Blaine's most priced companion. From
the time Mr.. Blaine became speaker of
the house she assisted Mrs: Blaine in do
ing the honors of her home in Washing
ton. Her wit and her wisdom entertain
ed and instructed the guests of the house.
A dinner party at the Blaines would have
been bright even if all the guests were
dull, with Mr.. Blaine, his wife and Miss
Dodge to sustain the conversation. But
the Blaines seldom had dull guests. Miss
Dodge found time to aid in other ways
than by helping to entertain. She aided
Mrs. Blaine training the children. She
aided Mr.. Blaine with her advice, which
he sought and followed, and with her pen
and tongue. She was invaluable to him,
and he freely acknowledged it.-Lewiston

A Sure Sign.

They tell a story about the hotel in a
Virginia rural town. 1t was hotel where
the servants seem bubbling over with anx-
iety to wait on you-you know how Vir-
ginia hotels arc. The man ordered a bath
prepared for him one night-a warm bath,
with an ocean Of water and big, dry land
Of towels. He got it. The next night he
rang the bell to order another bath. The
bellboy who had answered his summons
the night before appeared. He expressed
surprise at seeing the guest.
Thought sure you was gone, boss" he
said.
why did you think that?" asked the
man who tells the story
'Well" said the boy, "you see, you
done had bath last night, and folks don t
in generally take bath unless they re
goin away. ''-Washingto Post.

He Got His Dinner.

An absentminded Roxboro citizen was
sent to the city, says the Philadelphia
Record, to make few purchases for his
better half. On prior occasions he had re-
turned home complaining of headache
caused by missing his noontime meal. To
make sure he would not forget any of the
articles wanted, his wife prepared mem
orandum. At the head of the list was
Don't forget your dinner" and to make
doubly sure she finished with the same ad-
monition. Arriving in the city, the paper
was pulled from his pocket. Seeing the
dinner notice he dropped in q restaurant
and filled up. Each articlewa marked off
tho list as purchased, until he reached the
bottom, when "Gct your dinner again
appeared. He dropped into the nearest
eating house and gave an elaborate order
1t happened to be the same place visited an
hour or so before and his appetite was a
revelation to the waiter, who was the same
man who served the first dinner.

/ WESTERN NAN killer
As Usual fie Was a Very
Quiet Person
CHAS. BASSETT'S PROWESS
lie Was Panied by a Reference to
si His Skill
Ail-of His Killings the Side OF Pub
>-.-et lie Order and as Law
Officer

It has often been noted by those favored
mon, who, in travelling about the west,
made the acquaintance of famous kill
ers, that the killer was always quietly and
soberly reserved about tho homicides he
had committed and never cared to talk
about them. Charles Bassctt, who has
great renown in tho southwest as gun
fighter and game man, is no exception to
the rule. 1t chanced that all of Bassett's
"killings' were on the side of public or
aer-and occurred while he was an officer OF
the law. For several years Bassett was
marshal of Dodge City. Bat Masterson
was Bassett's deputy.
! It happened more than once in straight
ening out the destinics of Dodge that Bas-
eett was called on to shoot, Il ceremony
wherein he was always careful TO aim low,
with gratifying results. When Luke Short,
who afterward killed Jim Courtwright, q
Texas Desperate, was run out of Dodge.
Bassott was the first man he camo to in
seeking help to put him back. Having Sc
cured Bassett, Luke Short gathered about
him an array which had a record for cool
nerve and quick, sure work with Colt S
pistol that would be hard to duplicate.
Short was escorted back to Dodge by Bas-
sett, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Bill
carp, Virgil carp, Doc Holiday, Curly
Bill, Shotgun Collins and others, who, as
stark, indoInitable fighters, had as much
fame in their country as ever had the Black
Douglas or Bruce or Wallace in his.
But as to tho solemn reticence of these
killers when touched on as to their bloody
deeds Bassett is and has been for years the
manager of a resort in Kansas City. Ono
winter night Bassctt and several others
were standing near tho big stove, drink
ing and defying the weather. Tho talk
had drifted to tho winter days of Dodge
City, when Jack Nuckols, then city editor
of the Kansas City Times, suddenly spoke
up with:
by tho way, Charlie, you killed sever
al men at Dodge City, didn't you?'
A look of pain and uneasiness came
across Bassetts face like cloud. He
was staggered and worried, and showed it.
A profound silence fell upon the several
men present, and Nuckols began to grow
embarrassed. For full half minute Bas-
sett looked at tho questioner without say
ing word; then, as if a thought had come
to him that ho knew was safe to act Oh.
he helped himself to drink of whisky all
alone. When be returned, he backed up
to the stove, and, surveying Nuckols, said
in mild, inquiring tone:
"Well, if did, it was right
Nuckols FASTENED to assure him that no
one harbored doubt on that point, and
the subject was politely changed. After
ward one of the onlookeri remarked:
''You can bet it bothered Bassett when
it drove him to drinking whisky by him
self. I'll bet 2 to / that's the first drink
Bassctt's taken alone in 90 years. Wash
