TWENTY STORIES ABOUT MARK TWAIN
Mark Twain is the next person to be "anec
dotalized" by the Ladies Home Journal, and
the humorist's closest friends have sent to
the magazine for its next number some
twenty odd stories about HIM, none of which
have ever been printed. They are, Of course,
of the droll sort. but not more funny than
the "snap shot" pictures of Mark which his
friends have also loaned the magazine.
These, too, have never been printed

in the matter Of studies, but is prejudicial to
health; it would have met our views exactly

\ BRrharOus Exhibition.


The seventy-two-ho hours bicycle race
which ended last evening at the Velodrome
of the Pare DIES Princes, Paris, was con-
Guided amid scenes that can only be ie-
scribed as sickening. The agony suffered
by the competitors owing to tie terrific
heat may readily be imagined ana their
condition toward the finish. ANA. indeed
long before it, was pitiable. On the last
afternoon Frederick, who ultima tely came
in second, fell off his mac ine five times in
quick succession, but each time, in spite Of
fls protests. he was lifted back on his seat
and made to continue by his manager.
None too soon the public gave expression
to Its disgust at this nhumi7 spectacle.
Frederick was at last carried IF the course
more dead than alive Several of the men
had attacks of delirium. Fischer suddenly
jumped off his mac chine, ran out OF the
course, and climbed chestnut tree before
anybody could lmagine what he vas about.
Il am hungry, and want to eai chestnaIs"
he cried to his manager, who hsi the
greatest difficulty III peisuading him to
GENE down from hisi perch. Another COM
petitor, in a fit of madness, seized the UNI
breila of a spectator, opened it, ard pro-
ceeded to cut frantic capers round the
course. The press isE almhst unanimous in
describing the race as Eaonstrous exhiti-
ticn, and it is to behnope'l that Paris VII
be spared similar spectaclss for the future.

An Equine DipsoMnnfac.


Paris is frequently the scene of remark
able events, but l have an instance #
equine sagacity to relate today which 1t
would be difficult to surpass even here The
fire1nen of the VfI!ette district were SUM
moned yesterday afternoon to remove a
horse from the cellar OF a wine merchant.
For some time past the merchant had no
ticed that thefts from his stock were TAX
ing place, but he had been unable to dis
cover the thieves. What rendered the mat
ter more difficult to understand was that
the wine was always drunk in the cellar
and the necks of the bottles broken. Con-
temporaneousiy with these events the wine
merchants horse had developed frequent
attacks of what seemed to be vertigo walk
ing unsteadily and falling down for no APP
parent cause. The stable, which Is Just
over the cellar, was found yesterday to be
untenanted, and the wine merchant thought
his horse had been stolen. but great dis
turbance in the cellar attracted his atten-
ton, and he went down, armed with re-
volver and accompanied by his clerks. The
only occupant of the cellar, however, was
the horse, which lay amid broken bottles,
kicking at the barrels within reach.
The animal was taken to its stall with the
help of the hremen. and as it showed symp-
toms resembling seasckness a veterinary
surgeon was summoned. This man declared
that II was Intoxicated. and that 1T showed
al the signs of habitual drunkenness In
quiry revealed that some time ago the horse
had been overWorked, and The groom used
to give 1t Wine Instead of soaking the
oats, however. the lazy attendant poured
the liquid into its mouth from the bottle
The intelligent animal, knowing the way to
the cellar, had thereafter profted by the
Lesson, helped itself without troubling the
groom and returned to the stable after

RI The fact that the evening gowns of the
