INTRODUCING A LECTURER.-Car
Schurz, in campaigning a dozen years
ago, was making speeches in the west,
and Eugene Field was detailed by 6
Chicago paper to accompany him. In
a small town in Michigan, says the
New York Sun, no one had been selec
ted to introduce the speaker. Schuri
and Field walked up on the platform
and were greeted with loud cheer
Schurz asked the newspaper man tc
introduce him, and Field, ambling tc
the front of the platform, saic in 6
very husky voice:
"Ladies and shentlemens, regreo
dot haf such sore throat dot / can
not address dis evenings. / am very
sorry alretty for dis disappointment
Howefer, am more dan pleased to tel
you dot 1 haf with me my yourg your
nalistic frendt, Mr.. Eugene Field, O
Chicago, und he will now speak to yor
about steel rails"
When Field began this introduction
Schurz was puzzled, and when he con
cluded it the speaker of the evening
looked angry. Despite Mr.. Schurz's
preliminary explanation that he really
was Mr.. Schurz, the people wao hearo
him on that occasion have been divided
in opinion as to whether the speaker
was Schurz or Field.

EMPEROR WILLIAM WAS IMPLICA-
TED.-The Paris correspondent of The
Daily Chronicle says: "The name OF
Emperor William is now persistently
connected with the Dreyfus affair. 1t
is currently reported that at the time
of the trial he wrote M. Cassimir-Pe-
rier giving his word of honor as a man
that Dreyfus had not betrayed France
for the German government, adding
that if. necessary he would give his
word as an emperor with all its con-
sequences
"President Cassimir-Pe commu.
nicated this to the cabinet. Soon
afterward Dreyfus was condemned.
Emperor William, much hurt, instruct
ed the German ambassador at Paris to
ask if the incriminating documents had
been procured on German territory.
M. Cassimir- Perier made guarded
reply, but in view of the fact that he
had been kept in ignorance by the
cabinet of what was going on, had to
pass sentence upon Dreyfus despite
the kaiser's word of honor, he decided
to resign the presidency and seize the
first occasion which occurred, namely,
the overthrow of the Dupuy cabinet" )"
The Gaulois says it was in order to
avert grave consequences arising from
the emperor's having given his word
of honor that the court martial was
held with closed doors, and certain
documents, in accordance with the re-
quest of the emperor, were not pro,
duced at the trial.

CHEESE "MOS' TOO FUR GONE"

The old Virginia darkey who has
been from the time he was 10 years
of age the dining-room servant of one
of our aristocratic families, says the
Washington Post, is noted for his Ches
terfeldian manners. And as a waiter
cleaner, and everything else for which
q house servant is wanted, he is moi
euualled by his latter-day brethren
whose main occupation, if he has beer
to school and can read a little, is that
of a hotel waiter or Pullman cal
porter.
Having some company to tea one
night, remembered that two of my
friends were fond of Limburger cheese
I bought a pound package and took
it home with me. On arrival old Un.
Gle Isaac met me as usual with bis
accustomed salutation of "Good even
in, boss" said to him
"UncIe Isaac, you will find among
other things in that box a package Of
cheese, and I want it on the table TO-
night"
Gall right, boss I'll have it."
"Don't you forget it," said I.
"Oh, no, sub aim groi' fergit it.
I'll have it, sho'."
Now, Uncle Isaac had seen every
kind of cheese in his life, but this was
his first experience with the Limbur'
ger.
When took my company into the
dining. room the old fellow was stand
ing near the table, with q long, white
apron on, and waiter under his arm,
ready to jump if any one looked to:
ward him. Not seeing the cheese, l
said to him, quietly: -.
"Uncle Isaac, where's the cheese p
With look of great disappoint-
ment, he turned to my wife, as if to
say, "Please, marin, come to my res
cue !' but my wife only smiled. l
repeated my question then with more
emphasis. "Uncle Isaac, where's the
cheese ?" He came shutting up to me
sideways, and being too polite to let
the guests hear what he had to say,
whispered, softly, in my ear, "Boss, it
was mos too fur gone, an I flung it
away"

of the Indians, for it was plainly evil
dent I was utterly incapable of helping
myself in any material way. My
wounded side gave me excruciating
pain at the least effort to move, and l
felt 30 weak and exhausted that I was
powerless to rise from where l lay.
All kinds of gloomy forebodings now
began to crowd in on my distempered
Imagination, and I became feverish
and delirious. The small alarm clock
which had been to me almost COM
panion in my solitude, not having been
wound, ceased ticking, and this SEEM
ingly trivial incident had a most de-
pressing effect upon me.
1t seemed like death, and I thought
now my time would soon come-in
fact, had come. Again I was sure I
heard footsteps outside, and I tried to
call aloud, but my tongue was parched
and I could not speak. Presently /
was made aware of a gnawing and a
crunching at the logs in the corner of
the cabin where my bunk was, and it
dawned upon me that the bear was
trying to tear down the house. A
violent butting at the door following
soon after, assured me that l was right
in this conjecture. Not succeeding
there, he climbed Upon the roof and
began tearing off the covering of grass
and mud, and several small pieces
came tumbling down on the floor
through the spaces in the rafters. A
dark shadow came across the stream
of moonlight, and I knew he must
be looking down the chimney. What
| if he jumped down and got pen
ned up with me without any posi-.
BILE means of egress. The horror of
the thought and its consequences made
me shudder. I felt I was going mad.
The room now seemed to fill with all
kinds Of gaunt, hideous shapes. l
groaned in agony Of mind and body,
and was drawing the blankets over my
head to shut out the horrid sights my
delirious brain conjured up, when crack
rang out the sharp report of rifle in
the still, bright night, followed quick
ly by another, and yet another, and
then the dull thud of e heavy body
falling on the ground, and I knew l
bad been saved from horrible death
by the return of the Indians, and that
the bear would growl nevermore.

she said, softly. And pretty soon he
arose and went or his way. The next
morning he called upon an eminent

sorely cast down, and he grieved, and
told no man of his hurt.
