Saturday Evening Post.


The man of one book can concentrate a
terrific fund of tediousness within his ana
tomical structure. Perhaps his author is
Dickens: he has read no other; he delights
to tell you that he has read Nicholas
Nickleby" through seven times, "OliVer
Twist thirteen, christmas Chimes twen-
ty-three, and so on. Every subject of dis
cussion, from the fall of Adam to the pros
poets of a new war of instruction" with
Spain, reminds him of something in Dick
ems
In conversation you involuntarily dodge
as he hurls his quotations at you with the
warning preface. LAS Captain Cutie used to
say" or LAS 1 often laugh over in Bleak
House" A short acquaintance puts you in
a nervous, electric, telepathic condition by
which you know exactly what he will utter
under any circumstances. He unconsciously
thinks in precisely the same circle as his
author, moving in 1t like a goldfish in a
globe.
The greater the author-the larger the
circle. yet it is and must be circumscribed.
1t is like driving for hours on some magnifi-
cent avenue; the mind tires of the very
evenness of the beauties. He who is bound
by one book views the world from valley;
the reader of many books ascends the
spread before him. His views are larger,
broader, freer and-they are his own
This larger reading does not necessitate
superficial perusal and thought of the work.
On the contrary, with it a merely super
fetal view cannot exist. 1t only REQUIRES
trained reading. One need not read Para

over the flower, takes the sweet and leaves
the bitter.

A Wrong Conclusion.

Detroit Free Press.
The street car conductor was not in good
hunor. Some one had passed a bad quar-
ter upon him and that accounted for his
starting the car before the three women and
a child were fairly aboard
One of the women was mad at being
dumped without warning into a seat; the
conductor saw that as he started to collect
their fare, but he was mad, too.
Madam he said, as she rendered her
fare, "this child that is with you will have
to be paid for as well'
II haven't the slightest idea of paying its
fare" snapped the woman.
Then l shall put it off, answered the
conductor, reaching for the bell rope.
You don't dare" flashed the woman.
Ting! The conductor brought the car to a
stop, picked up the child and deposited it
upon the street and rang to go ahead.
MADAM" he said grimly, you will find
your child back there on the corner"
MY child?" snapped the woman. 1T isn't
whose is it them" gasped the conductor
II haven't the slightest idea," she an
swered coolly.
Then the child's mother. who had been
engaged in an exciting discussion with her
friend over the merits of a new gown,
awoke to the fact that her child was miss
ing, and then the fireworks that played
around the unfortunate conductors head
reminded him of a Fourth of July display.

"KlD" M'COY'S CHANCE.
Charley Mitchell Cannot Fight Shar-
key Before Next March.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The international
fight between Charley Mitchell and Tom
Sharkey viii not take place before March
next, and the latter can now complete
engagements to fight kid" Mccoy IN Janu-
airy. In response to Sharkey's acceptance
of NIitchelrs challenge and his offer to fight
him in January, Mitchell yesterday cabled
that he would be unable to get himself into
proper condition to fight before March, but
that he desired the match and requested
that articles Of agreement be sent to him at
once, and if the conditions are satisfactory
he will sign them and begin training. When
Mitchell issued the challenge he deposited
$1,000 in London. and this amount Tom
O'Rourke covered on behalf of Sharkey.
The latter stipulated that the fight must
take place in January, as he desired to go
to San Francisco in February to fight JEFF
fries. but O'Rourke said yesterday that If
Mitchell gave him positive assurance that
he would meet Sharkey here in March he
would delay his departure to the Pacific
coast. O'Rourke says he will insist upon a
side wager of at least $1,O0O. If Mitchell
will agree to fight here, ORourl1e says he
will allow him $500 for training expenses.

KIDNAPPED AGAIN.
Edith BeryI Barnes Probably Taken
to Canada by the MagOwans.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 3.-NIr. and Mrs. Frank
A. Mcgowan have given their case here an
other sensational turn by getting out of
town, taking with them Mrs. Magowans
child, Edith Beryl Barnes, whose abduc-
ton from Cleveland Nov. IA was the open
ing act of the present case. The Magowans
left some time last night, and it was not
until late to-day that their absence became
known. 1t is generally believed that the
Magowans are in Canada
CLEVELAND, o., Dec. S-Magowan and
Mayor SALESMAN had a heated alteration
at club last night, Mcgowan very harshly
criticising the county detectives; chief Of
police and other officials, and the mayor as
holly resenting these criticisms. But for the
Intervention of friends blows would have
been exchanged. If the child has been TAX
en- to Canada she will be subject to no more
litigation, as she cannot be legally brought
back into the jurisdiction of the United
States courts. The child, OF course, is
charged with no crime and so, cannot be
eXtradited. 1t is also a fact that, under the
laws of Pennsylvania, it is not crime for
a mother to steal her own child, though
such act is a crime in Ohio. 1t is, there
fore, quite probable. that to-dty's move
will end the case so far as the CHILD is con-
cerned.

A VISIT TO ROSA BONHEUR.
The Great Actress Hopes to Paint n
Lion Before She Dies.

Philadelphia Press
An American girl artist abroad, writing
to friend at home of visit to Rosa Bon
heur, tells this interesting story Of the
great animal painter:
I'VE visited Rosa Bonheur on the day ap-
pointed, for that lady had had the kindness
to write to a friend of ours saying that she
would receive us Thursday afternoon.
We found Miss Bonheur outside her home
in what she calls her animal garden. Al
though not surrounded by wild beasts, as
we had expected to find her, she was lead
ing a lion cub by a chain, and was affec-
tonately regarding an immense tiger, winch
roared in a cage near by.
Shall you paint another picture, Miss
Bonheur? l asked.
Yes, 1 shall paint until die said she,
but l expect to die when L have painted
Are you in ill health? we asked
No, said she, laughing, I am strong
and well, but | am an old woman; l was
seventy in March, you know.
My great ambition continued she, is
to paint lion be re 1 die. I have painted
many lions, as you may know, but none

never the green: If you will notice, point
there are green shades in his coat, which
have never been shown in painting. |

with a wave of the hand toward the frisky
animal, as the sun passes his back there
is a green which is almost brilliant.
We followed the direction of her hand,
light, was strange tint of green in the
fur which, somehow. fascinated us as We
saw it. 1t was gone in minute.
That is the shade I hope to get in my
new painting, said Miss Bonheur. 1T will
be a picture of a lioness and her cubs, with
possibly lion in the background, l cannot
tell just yet, enough when have found the
colors.'
DO you paint rapidly?' asked we.
Yes said she, very rapidly, but It
takes. me a long time to get the colors.. 1
mix them upon my palette again and again,
to try them. Sometimes a very difficult
study will cost me weeks of thought. then,
of sudden, get it like an inspiration, and
1 fly at the picture and paint it. / can
really do a picture very quickly after 1
have got the colors.'
After Miss Bonheur had escorted us
around her garden, she invited us in the
house, but we did not accept the invita-
ton; we knew how impatient she was to
get to her work. for this great painter is
no idler; and her great fame has been built
up by long. hard wears of steady Mork.n

CHICAGO, Dec. S-"President Mckinley
can never get the members Of the present

of the United States and Spain," said Sen

be of use as naval station, but whatever
can we do with a lot of islands with such

There is no place in our general policy for
colonial possessions. And by taking them
we must discard the Monroe doctrine, for
how can we object to Europeans interior
ing in American affairs now that we have

What Leading Editors Say About the
Vaccinations at Paris


Copyright, 1895. by the Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-Spain's acceptance of
the terms Of the United States has naturally
keenly interested the German government
and press, although, adhering to its policy
consistently followed throughout, the gov
ernment has uttered no opinion either in
interviews or through the medium of the
semi-official press. But the newspapers gen
orally admit that hereafter the United States
must be seriously reckoned with in interna-
tional politics and as colonial power whose
push and energy may interfere with the
ambitions of other powers. The German pa
pers therefore predict frequent political COM
plications for the United States.
The Cologne Gazette attributes Europe's
noninterfereEce in the peace negotiations at
Paris to mutual jealousies, and expresses
the opinion that the Americans Will find the
new colonies a greater source of trouble

ABANDONED At SEA.
Steamer LOndOnian Probably Sunk
and Crew of Eighty-One Lost.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 3.-The British steam
er King Arthur Captain Henry, from DEM
arara, arrived here to-day and reported she
sighted the British steamer Londonian on
Nov. % in latitude As north, longitude 16
west, on her beam ends the starboard
sides, with decks and matches submerged.
All her boats were gone except a small
boat and there was no sign of life about
her. A strong northwest gale was blowing
at the time and the vessel was apparently
fast settling by the head. The Londonian
sailed from Boston Nov. Is, for London, in
command of Captain Lee.
The Londonian was a steel vessel built
at Glasgow in 1896. and registered 5,5S2 tons
gross and 1914 tons net. She measured 45O
feet length, 497 feet beam and 307 feet deep.
She belonged to the Wilson F'urness Ley
land line and hailed from Hull. Her original
name was Idaho, which was changed to the
present name about year ago. At the office
of Sanderson & Son, the New York agents
of the line, it was said that the Londonian
was exclusively a cargo steamer and her
complement of officers and crew numbered
eighty-One men.

A EUROPEAN SQUADRON.
1t Will Include Five Vessels. and the
Chicago VIII BE Flagship.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-Secretary Long
has decided to assign the Chicago to duty
as flagship of the European squadron which
is now in process of selection. The squad
ron probably will include about five ships
of different classes. While there will be
some armored vessels among them, it is not
likely that the battle ship type will be rep
resented, owing to the fact that these YES
sells are not designed for long cruises, and
Notwithstanding the achievement of the
Oregon in that direction, 1T is not deemed
well to make a steady practice of what was
regarded as a questionable experiment.
Three ships will be sent TO the South At
lantic station, and Secretary Long has I'M
der consideration the establishment of a
South Pacific station, with base perhaps
at Valparaiso in summer, and at Callao in
the winter months. In view OF the fact that
the officers and enlisted men have had so
much actual practice in the art of war
during the past season, the navy depart
ment has decided TO postpone until next
autumn the usual annual maneuvers.

war story from Manila.
washington Special.

A naval officer who has Just returned from
Manila brings with him q good story 1t is
customary when men-of-war go out for tar
get practice TO stow away the china and
glassware of the ship, which are likely to be
broken by the conclusion that always fol-
lows the firing of the big guns. When one
of the thirteen-inch rifles on the forward
deck goes off il feels as if the vessel had
been struck by lightning, and to save break
ing fragile articles are packed away. Similar
preparations were made for the fight at Ma
Mia and when the battle was over and the
Spanish fleet was destroyed 1t took some
days TO get things readjusted on the ships
and restored to their proper places. Two or
three days after the battle Admiral Dewey
noticed that an article of table furniture in
his cabin was missing. and called his
Chinese servants attention to the fact. The
latter calmly replied: "Alle light Me put
him way so him don't get bloke while you
plactice on the Spaniards. He come back
