Hanged Himself to The Same Limb
Where His Brother Sutcidcd.

Boerne, Texas, April l2.-Martin Schmidt
committed suicide at Handalia last week
by hanging himself. About three or four
weeks ago his brother Adolf hanged him
self. and 1t now appears Martin was found
dead hanging on the same tree and on the
same limb that his brother hanged himsel.

brothers death must have temporarily M
dermined his reason, as no other cause Is
known. Justice Garvon held an inquest
and rendered verdict OF suicide.

The Fighting Editors.

remember calling at the office of @ great Parisian newspaper with friend who wished to have rectified state ment published in 1t concerning him. When our business was made known, we were ushered into a handsomely furnished room on the first floor. Seated at desks, without 6 trace of pens, ink or paper or of anything in a literary way except some new novels, together with few packages of cigarettes, were two gentlemen whose appearance made considerable impression on me. They were faultlessly dressed in deep black (the duelist's cOlorl Each bad the rib bon of the Legion in his buttonhole, their long Jet black mustaches were waxed out to a point as fine as a needles, and there was in their whole manner. their voices, their gestures and the expression of their eyes and mouths an indescribable something that pro claims the man who at one time or an- other has worn a uniform. These were the fighting editors, with whom evi- dently the pen was not mightter than the sword They were civil, however, and consented to the rectifcation of the paragraph. AS fighting was their trade, they looked at 1t in purely business way and only went out when the de- mands made were too unreasonable to be entertained. fancy that they some times fought in defense of articles they had never even seen.-Oornhill Maga- zinc

Anticholera Vaccination.

Anticholera vaccination originated about 12 years ago with Dr. Ferran, a Spanish physician. His vaccine of eight drops of cholera culture mixed with bile was used with many misfortunes upon 25, 900 persons, but gave sufficient encouragement to lead to Haffkine's ex. periments, which have proved so suo- oessful in India. Haffkine employs attenuated cholera bacilli, followed a few days later by virulent cultures. Equally good results from the use of dead cholera bacilli-killed by either heat or chloroform-are now claimed by Kolle, who gets the same effects by simply using somewhat larger doses oi his less terrifying preventive. Compara- tive tests have shown that the blood of the vaccinated individuals is now BOG times as potent in resisting cholera in- lection as that of the unvaccinated. AS evidence of the effectiveness of modern methods of dealing with cholera the fact is mentioned that it has had 800, 900 victims in Russia since 1899, while in Germany, including the Hamburg epidemic, its deaths have been but 1000. The disease seems destined soou to become as obsolete as smallpoS.

It is said that Professor John Stuart Blaokie often told lon himself'' this anecdote, which seems to indicate that personalities are not agreeable. even to those who deserve criticism.
 This genial old professor used to form very picturesque feature in the Edinburgh streets. He was wiry old patriarch, with handsome features and hair falling in ringlets about his shoul- ders. No one who had seen him could possibly forget him.
 One day he was accosted by very dirty little bootblack with his "Shine your boots, sir3''

His First Story.

A certain author, now well known to fame and fortune, once in the "battle for bread" wrote a wild Indian story for a northern story paper. That was 12 years ago, and to the story he gave his real name. He received fat check for 1t, but year after year went by and-the story never appeared. It finally passed from his remembrance, until the other day, when be received letter from the publishers informing him that 1t would shortly put in an appearance in serial form. That made the author nervous, and he forthwith sent tho following tel egram:
 Suppress story and return manu- script and will pay three times amount of original oheck.'
 The publishers Trplied:
 Cant do it. We know good thing when we have it. The story is in your best vein."
 Letter after letter, telegram after tele- gram. passed, but no, he didn't have money enongh to buy that story. So he has written to all his friends and critics and has explained the circumstances and now awaits as cheerfully as possible the weekly slaughter of the red Indians of his youthful brain.

Bishop CoxeAs Wit.

Bishop Coxe's wit was as quick as bis memory. On one occasion, being in slight railway accident, the bishop had lower berth on one side of a car, the corresponding berth on the other side being occupied by Presbyterian minister. At the time of the concussion neither was hurt, but both were thrown into the aisle, their heads hitting to- gether.
 "Church unity," said the Presby- terian divine.
 "Not entirely" said the bishop, rais- ing his hand to his heart "Church unity to be complete must be of the heart as we'll as of the head"
 Another time a very lovely elderly lady happened to mention to him that she was second cousin of that dis tinguished but unprincipled man. Aaron Burr. II wish" said the bishop quickly. "that you had had as good a cousin as he had. '-George Alfred StringeT.

4 Stubborn Genius.

Robert Chambers told me he was once talking with man of real, rugged gen. jus, who came. to a sorrowful end. He said to the genius: "The population oi this world is about 1900, 900, 900 hu- man beings. The little religious body to which you belong contains perhaps 300, GOO.t Of that number not 300 could give an intelligent account of its creed Yet@you think its creed sets out vital matters. Is it consistent with your be- lief that God Almighty would permit just 300 of his creatures to know those things and keep all the millions igno- rant of themr' The genius considered for a minutes space, then replied, i"Yes, I think 1t quite right that God should do that" Whereupon the good Robert Chambers said very resolutely, 'Then I'm tremendously sorry for you. '' And he never spoke to the genius save lon transient incidents any more. re.-Lon6 mans Magazine. -e..,

AMERICANS AS MUSICIANS.

Mime. Calve Says They Have the Charac-
 teristics of the Conquering Race
 Mime. Emma Calve contributes pa- per on the "Conquering Race In Music' to The Ladies' Home Journal, in which she specially addresses students of vocal music. She tells of the training re- quired for the operatio and the concert stage, the impersonation of character, the value of suggestions, etc., and pays this tribute to Americans: ''The Amer jeans have, 1t seems to me, in the field of music, and especially in the field of vocal music, all of the characteristics of the conquering race, They are pos sessed naturally of the most exquisite voices, which, when properly cultivated and trained, are almost unrivaled. They have indomitable energy, perseverance and pluck. They stop at nothing and are deterred by no trouble and prevented by no obstacle.
 Poverty, weariness, exertion, hard work-none of these living specters which alright and terrify the average art worker has terrors for them. Their physique and their temperament seem made for toll and to surmount discour- agement, and the success which they are daily achieving, in the field of both operatio and concert singing. is testimo- ny to their natural fitness for accom- plishment and to their ability to excel They seem, in fact, to be most lavishly fitted by nature for the parts they are assuming. To these gifts of voice, ener- gy, pluck and perseverance they fre- quently add beauty of face and grace of form and movement which the pub ho recognizes as most important factors in the success of the singers career. They have, too, the temperament which makes great artists and great actresses, the artistic feeling which has for its standard perfection and which is sat- isfed with nothing less. ''

A VALEDICTtON.
TFOr music.l

For music-l Fast falls the night. but not for thee Twill fade like that of yesterday. When once again along the lea
 The timorous glints of morning stray, Thou wilt have passed to fields unseen, To meadows of perennial May, Where never veers the vernal green Nor fleet the vernal flowers away. If e'er I think of thee as gone,
 If e'er dream of thee sped, Twill only be in winter wan,
 When leaves lie lorn and flowers have fled But whom anew the sun has shone
 Its welcome to the world of spring Still by my side thou'lt wander on As though thou neer hadst taken wing. Still beneath days dilating beams Greet each new flower that May unfurls, Still mix thy murmur with the streams I And blend thy music with the merle's. Then as in veGpertinal dreams
 The sun's tired rays receding slant, Seek, as of old, the wood where teams The nightingale's awaking chant. Fast falls the night will not weep An, mol Not tears shall be thy deRer To carry through the folds of sleep Into the cline of leaf and howeri Fast falls the night More dark, more 6saA Each instant grows its eerie sway. Farewell, farewell. l will not weep, But smile thee on thy journeys wayi William Toynbee in Gentleman Magazine.
