1t Doesn't Always Pay to Be Great.

Ii Doesn't Always Pay to Be Great.
1t doesn't always pay to be a great
man. Last spring, after the completion of
the event which the veriscope pictures are
now celebrating at the Grand Opera house.
a lot Of men who had journeyed from the
east to see the physical culture show in
Dan Stuart's arena were on the way back
home, says the Chicago Record. One of
them was a rather gay and festive young
telegraph operator who had been sent out
from Chicago. He chose, with others, to
ride in the day coach.
AT Granger a number of passengers from
the northwest got on board. and the young
opera tor shortly marked a rather good
looking girl for his prey. The girl seemed
TO be delighted TO talk to such a nice-ap-
pearing man, and when, few minutes af-
ter they had entered upon a conversation,
a tall and raW-boned mountaineer strobe
past and glared at her, she just laughed
back at the angered one. The operator
didn't notice it.
The telegrapher was very interesting.
He told her he was Robert Fltzsimmons,
the fighter, and she gasped with delight at
meeting such a celebrity. Five times af-
terward the mountaineer passed, and each
time he gloWered. By and by he stopped.
Mary" he said, who's this red-headed
calf you've got so well 'quainted with?'
The girl smiled just as even a mountain
girl can vindictively smile when she is
tormentng some male of her species, and
said
IVY, he's Mr.. Fitzsimmons, the cham
peen."
THE fghter?"
yes"
"Uh-huh. That makes 1t all right. I
thought mebbe he might be a preacher er
some good man who was lookin' out fer
the care of yer soul, an that's why 1
didn't like to throw him out O. the winder
afore. It's all right now. 1 reckon he
won't mind a little ruction. At the next
stoppin' place. Mr.. Fitzsimmons," to the
dumb and amazed operator, I'm goin'
to come back yere an yark We out O the
seat with my gal what I'm goin to git
married to at Shi-ann, an burst yer red
head agin the ruff. Bein' fighter, yer
won't mind. They's just twenty-five min
utes fer We to git ready in. GOod-by." And
he walked forward to the smoking COM
partment
Mr.. Fitzsimmons did not need the twen-
ty minutes for training time. When the
next stop was reached and the mountain
Ger reappeared. the seat beside the girl
was vacant. The champion rode all the
rest of the way to Cheyenne-where the
two stopped off to get married-in the
most retired part of a Pullman car.

The commercial travelling men of the
west have succeeded in getting their long
sought 1000 mile interchangeable ticket
which will be good over twenty-eight diff
ferent railroad systems. The beauty of it
is that it cannot be handled by scaIpers
since the reduction comes as rebate
which is paid by the railroad company sell
ing it. after all of the mile&ge coupons
have been used. Such a ticket will prove
of undoubted advantage to travelling men,
and with this protective feature there
does not appear to be any reason why it
could not be generally issued all over the
country.

A bicycle trust is the latest monopoly
talked of, and according to reports it
looks as if the combination will be formed
at an early date. The overproduction of
wheels last year and the conse-
quent reduction in price which
has come about have put the
manufacturers to thinking seriously, and
not only American manufacturers, but it
is said also makers Of English wheels are
being drawn into the combination. No
doubt the object Of the whole plan is 10
keep the price of the standard wheel at
800. Among cyclists generally, however
it is the opinion that the death knell of
the 800 wheel has been sounded and it is
just possible that even the combinati ton
would not be able TO maintain that fig
ure.

The National Silver Republican party"
is one of the oldest freaks of contempo-
rary politics, not excepting the Mckinley
democrats" In each case the old party
name Is adhered to merely because the
handful of kickers have not the moral
courage to declare allegiance to the party
which comes nearest holding their views,
having formerly given allegiance to the
opposite party. As matter of fact there
can be neither free silver republicans
nor Mckinley democrats.

The glory achieved by the Count OF Tu-
rim from his duel with Prince Henri is
somewhat eclipsed by the insinuation Of
the Sol, of Paris, that the count wore I'M
der his shirt some sort of armor, a shirt
of-mail or something of the sort Dur
ing the encounter it was observed that the
princes rapier struck his antagonist and
bent instead of piercing the flesh, ana it
was reported that it had struck a button
or other obstruction which might have
been there naturally. The reporter of the
Sol who claims to have been concealed
close at hand and watching the fight. gives
out the impression that something was put
under the counts shirt to save his skin,
and that it served the purpose. 1t is pos
sible that another duel may grow out Of
the reporters story.

Steve Brodie, New Yorks once famous
bridge jumper, has evolved perhaps the
most brilliant scheme Of recent years. He
has just spent $l7 for a cablegram to Prince
Henri of Orleans in which he offers that
French nobleman and Gen. Albertone $780,
900 each 70 fight their coming duel before
the MICROSCOPE, giving him exclusive right
to the films. Steve's idea of the duel is
evidently Of the prize fight variety, and he
caps the climax by Offering them so 900
more each if they will make the scrap last
for ten rounds, Steve has overlooked the
fact that the Orleans-Albertone duel has
been called Off, but considering that Prince
Henris Indebtedness is about 81. 100000 he
might be inclined TO consider favorably
such an opportunity to get enough to pay
the interest on it for year at least. 1t
is more likely. however. that Steve will
come TO the conclusion in the end that the
prince doesn't know good thing when he
sees IL.
