Mr.. Laurence Hutton has added two
more volumes to his series Of Literary
Landmarks" 1t is but natural that
Italy, where tradition is a voice calling
to her the poets of all tongues, should
offer Mr.. Hutton a plentiful cleaning,
and that his sheaf should show the
yield of other lands bound up with
Italy's own.
Such literary landmarks of both Flor
ence and Rome as Mr.. Hutton recOg
nizes are we'll identified and autheH-
ticated. Tradition without record or
official stamp is to him what the man
without a signed passport is to the
Russian pOliCe-a suspicious character.
He quite uncOnsciOusly disSipates the
lingering romance and naZy tenderness
which surrounds, for the man who has
not seen them, every locality where his
heroes might have set foot, whether
or not the doubtful might" can be
replaced by the positive did" How,
ever, when Mr.. Hutton has done,, We
are quite sure Of all the bare facts
in the case, and facts, even concerning
literary landmarks, are, after all, of
considerable Importance. --.e,@
That Mr.. Hutton has been thorough
and pairstaking in his Investigations
there is no question, and he is fully JUS
tilted in claiming that these little vol
umeS contain information which does
not elsewhere exist, in any collected
form, and much more which is the re-
suit of personal research and observa-

the Moors and the dread Of the Span
iards. The Moors called 1t the Maiden
Fortress, and had superstition that
when 1t fell the Moorish power In Spain
would come to an end The belief was
justified by the event, for Kal-al- Ham,
rah, the Red Castle, was the last Moor
ish stronghold to surrender to the
Spaniards, 1t being given up the year
before the discovery Of America, and
the eight centuries of constant war be-
tween the Moors and the Spaniards
were brought to a close. The dainty
palace within the walls Of the huge
fortress was the work Of Ibn ell All
mar, and was inspired by his love for
his wife. Teleika was her name, some
say Zeleika. and others give her va
rious appellations, so she may have had
more names than one, but, no matter
what was her name, she found life in
the great fortress rather dull, and, to
please her, Ibn ell Ahmar began the ele-
CANT palace as home for her and a
refuge for himself from the cares of
business and the fatigues of war. 1t
proved too long and expensive an I'M
dertaking for his life and pocketbook.

Alexander ii. Stephens, vice presi-
dent Of the Confederacy and Governor
Of Georgia, had q remarkable memory.
says Col. C. w. Seidell who was for .
long time his private secretary. Once,
says the Colonel, when we were In
Washington, big delegation visited
the city to urge Dakota's claims to
Statehood. 'g.c ',s'
The delegates sent word to the dis
tingulshed Georgian THAT they would
call ON him ut his hotel, and ut the APP
pointed time they filed into his parior
and were introduced. f'9 rft
AS Mr.. Stephens was mt that time dis
abled by fall he sat In his rolling
chadr In the middle Of the room and
held running conversation with his
visitors. There were about hundred
Dakotans present, stalwart, handsome
men. representing the best type OF
Western manhood.
After they had sampled some fine old
Georgia corn whisky their host dis
cussed the matters In which they were
most interested, and occasionally adj
dressed one Of the strangers personally,
naming him as he spoke: :
During the evening he singled out IN
this way at least twenty Of his guests
and aStonished us all by his ready rec
election Of names and faces. Every
man in the crowd got the idea into his
head that something striking or attract
I've In his personality had favorably
impressed the little man in the rolling
chair, and l could see that the dele
gates were delighted with their recep-
ton.
Whey they had bowed themselves out
l asked Mr.. Stephens how he managed
to hold so many names and faces In his
memory.
"Oh 1t Is a, mere trick" he replied
II simply concentrated my attention
upon about twenty names and faces.
and as they were scattered around the
room 1t naturally surprised my visitors

them by name. OF course, 1t caused

HOUSE ON WHEELS.

Curious Vehicle In Which Jonathan
Olson Will Go Around the World.
An Ingenious citizen of Altoona, Pa,
has built an elaborate wagon for him
self and family, in which he proposes
to make trip around the world. His
name Is Jonathan Olson, and he intends
to start on his long journey this sum-
mer, and to finish II possible by the
first Of June, 1899. He will first go 10
Illinois, and then strike south to Texas.
voyaging across the Gulf Of Mexico to
thence 10 Spain. From this point the
Amerca travellers will start on their
long wagon trip.
In fitting out his house on wheels
Olson has shown rare taste. He has
finished the inside In polished maple.
and has adorned 1t with hand carvings
Of his own design. In the course Of an
eccentric life he has picked up many
beautiful pieces of bric-a-brac, which
he now turns to the adornment of his
wagon house. The interior of the house,
besides having three rooms, Is well con-
ceived In point Of convenience. In one
room the family cook, and in bad wealth
er they dine there also. But the dining
room Is out Of doors when the wagon
can be pulled up in n pleasant place.
Five days out Of the week there Is a
halt, where the cloth can be spread I'M
der the trees and good cool drink OBJ
tanned from a spring.
The second room has a couch and
small table The table can be used for
breakfast tray or it can be cleared mt
night and used for parlor games. 1t
also does duty as writing table, or for
books and smoking set. On one side
Of the room there is a dressing table
that takes up the entire wall. 1t has
tweity drawers, a broad shelf and
mirror with shelves overhead Here
the entire winter and summer ward
robe Is stored.
In pleasant weather there Is no sleep

The first trembling uncertain grayness
Of Saturdays dawn found Uncle Joshway
mounting Cawnstalk, while Blaxy Ann,
Goddess-of- Liberty-like, held aloft a
flaming pine torch to light him to the gate.
Aunt Anarky handed him the saddle bags,
stuffed with eatables enough for a week.

wavy ears stood erect In mulish terror.

He Was Alive.

The grenadiers of the famous "Old
Guard" will never be forgotten in
France as long as the memory Of brave
men shall live in the national heart.
But some of them, at least, were as
bright as they were brave, as the fol-
lowing trustworthy anecdote bears wit
ness:
One fine morning, after peace had
been concluded between France and
Russia, the two emperors, Napoleon
and Alexander, were taking a short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached
the sentinel, who stood at the foot OF
the grand staircase, the man, who was
a grenadier Of the guard, presented
arms. The Emperor Of France turned.
and pointing with pride TO a great scar
that divided the grenadier's face, said:
what do you think, my brother, Of
soldiers who can survive such wounds
as that?" g
"And you," answered Alexander.
"what do you think of soldiers who can
infiict themT'
Without stirring an inch from his po-
sition, or changing the expression Of
his face in the least, the stern old gren-
adler himself replied, gravely:
THE man who did it is dead"
