A Story of q Manuscript.

A story is told of certain southern
author who had a manuscript accepted
by a northern periodical that only pays
OH publication, but he has never had
the pleasure of seeing his production in
print. Finally he went north, and, get
ting hard up, called on the editor, who
would neither return his manuscript nor
guarantee him day of publication. He
repaired to his hotel and wrote the edi-
tor threatening letter, in which he
mentioned pistols and coffee, etc. Short
~ after he was arrested and taken to
the station house, where he remained
all night. The next morning he sent the
following message to the editor:
"I didn't know the rules up here.
For heavens sake, come down and pay
my fine and take the manuscript as Sc
curity."
The editor was unmoved by this ap-
peal and replied briefly:
1--WE cannot violate the rules OF our
Office. We will pay your fine when we
publish your story. We wish you well. y

The Red Mark.

Listen to this thrilling anecdote Of
King Theebaw's household arrange
ments:
King Theebaw's palace at Mandalay
has been turned into an "up to date"
club. The audience chamber, with the
golden throne in it, has been portioned
out for lady members. All the walls are
gold leafed, and golden pillars support
the roof. Yet near the door is such a
weird mark of former days that think
most Of us would prefer the less mag
nificent surroundings Of our own clubs
without envy. 1t is the red mark OF a
murdered woman's hand.
Once the king, in the DAYS OF his
prime, took fancy to beautiful young
Monaghan and insisted on bringing her
as an attendant to his court. His wife
grew madly jealous, and with the fierce
temper of her race stabbed the unfor'
tunate girl in the audience chamber be-
fore the assembled court. AS she fell
her hand, covered with blood, clutched
the wall, and for some reason or other
no one has obliterated the mark.-New
York Commercial.

House Amenities.

Mr.. Bailey of Texas got excited recently
in the national house of representatives
when he discovered that the speaker would
not entertain his motion to recommit the
rule for the reconsideration of the Cuban
relief resolution and announced an appeal
from the decision of the chair before any
decision had been made.

said Speaker Reed, but the chair will
make ruling in accordance with what
the gentleman from Texas evidently thinks
is the proper parliamentary ruling, which
is that the amendment is in no wise In

The Candle Thief.

An odd experience befell Mr.. Hunter
during his return from hunting trip
to the settlement last fall. One evening
he left candle burning on the table i'll
the Forty-nine Mile camp while he
went out to the hovel to look after his
horses. To his surprise when he re-
turned to the camp the candle was not
only eXtinguished but could nowhere be
found. Mr. Hunter is not entirely free
from the influence of those wild, weird
legends peculiar to the backwoods of the
Miramichi, especially those that relate
to a fabulous monster known as "the
Dungarvon Hooper" He lit another
candle, however, and again went out to
attend to his team. When he came back
to the camp he found that the second
candle had vanished as mysteriously as
the first. This was severe blow to Mr..
Hunters peace of mind, but he pulled
himself together and examined the camp
thoroughly to see if some practical joker
was not concealed about the premises.
Finding no trace of anything in human
form, he placed his third and last cam
die ON the table, stood his AK within
easy reach and awaited developments.
In few minutes flying squirrel hop
ped in the door, boldly mounted the
table and knocked over the candle, thus
extinguishing the flame. He started for
the door with his booty, when Mr..
Hunter took hand in it and put the
little rascal to flight. On.

While the ceremonies of presenting the
silver service to the cruiser BROOKLYN were
being held on board that vessel at the
Brooklyn navy yard recently an accident
occurred on board the battleship Massa-
chusetts, which vessel is moored opposite
the Brooklyn, that might have caused con.
siderable damage and loss Of life.
The crew were at work slowing thu
shells for the 10 inch guns into the maya
zines. One of the shells was being placed
in position to be lowered into the maya
zine, which is about 90 feet below the
deck, when it became loose from the rope
that supported it and fell to the deck be
low. The shell was loaded and weighed
more than 1000 pounds. The men who
were at work below handling the shells
got away just as the shell reached the
deck.
The matter was reported to Commodore
Bunce, but as no damage was done there
will be no court of inquiry into the mat
ter. One of the officers attached to the
ship said the shell was charged with the
highest kind of explosive in the navy, and
that it did not explode was miracle

The sum of $4,000, which has been

services at a single performance, would
not be by any means an unprecedented
reward for him. He may never before
