THE SANCY DIAMOND,
This Magnificent Jewel VIII Be Owned by
Pauline Aston.

This Magnificent Jewel VIII Be Owned by
Pauline Aston.
In the ordinary course of events Miss
Pauline Astor will some day become
posSessor of the most famous and mag
niicent diamond owned outside of q
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
by her father, and were it to appear
among the Jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9TH
er gem there except the Kohinoor,
which the queen always wears on state
occasions as brooch.
The Sancy is a stone which is pos
sessed of a remarkable history. Weigh
ing about 81 carats, it at one time
formed part of the crown jewels of
Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy,
and on his death in battle IN Switzer-
land was found set either in his helmet
or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king of the day, and from that
time forth it became ono of the crown
jewels of France.
It disappeared at the time of the revo-
luton, reappeared at the restoration
and at the time of the second revolu-
tion in 1880 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole DemidOff, the
Muscoyite millionaire. 1t was worn for
a time by Demidoff's wife, Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte, but he took it
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul
Demidof. The latter sold it ia the six
ties for the SUM of 100000, ridicu-
lousy small price, to the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy, the Parsee mil
lionaire and philanthropist of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market, and it was pur-
chased by William Waldorf Astor by
private contract, no mention being made
of the price paid. -Philadelphia Times.

Colonel Kit Chinn.

A st. Louis footpad attempted to hold
up Colonel Kit Chinn of Kentucky one
night recently, and the aforesaid foot
pad hasn' t done anything since. If there
is man on earth whom footpads should
shun as Z temperate man shuns blind
tiger, that man is Kit Chinn. He is q
born fighter, and his favorite weapons
are the ones which the Creator endowed
him with at his birth. He is one of the
few men in Kentucky who hold the use
of pistol or knife in contempt and is to-
tally devoid of fear. He has fought a
wildcat in the open with nothing but
his bare knuckles and come out winner,
and it is said that upon one occasion he
offered to fight rattlesnake and give
him the first bite.-Glasgow (Ky.)

DRUMMER'S QUEEE'STORY.
Made Them Drink to His Early Grave and

Made Them Drink to His Early Grave and
Survived Them All.
q A hale and hearty travelling man with
pink skin and white hair-a condition
of complexion which, by the way, not
every travelling man lives to reach-was
renewing his youth with party sof
young and festive drummers. Drinks
were going round freely, and when one
of the 'boys' turned down his glass
there was considerable remonstrance on
the part of his companions at his refus-
al to have 'just one more''
The white haired man quietly cut the
discussion short by saying, 'That re-
minds me-
The old drummer Clicked the ashes
from his cigar and settled back in his
chair. '.It was long time ago. said
he, land it was i'll the old American
House in this city. There were five
young men seated in room, just as we
are here tonight, only they were all feel
ing pretty good, and there wasn't any
old man around to bore them with a
story. But along about midnight one of
the party turned down his glass just as
my young friend here has done. He said
he had had enough, and goodness knows
he had. His determination was greeted
most hilariously as good joke. He
steadily declined, however, though the
wine was brought and set before him,
but the taunts and innuendoes of his
comrades finally exasperated him so that
he exclaimed rather petulantly, but halt
in fun, We'll, boys, I'll join you once
more if you will drink to an early grave
for me- The toast was proposed uproar-
iously and drank standing. But some,
how after that the fun was not SO furi,
Gus. Things quieted down. The men
seemed to hall realize that to drink to q
mans death wasn't such good joke
after all, and one by one they made ex
| cuses and went off to bed"
Here the old man paused,
"Did the man die?" aueried he who
had refused to ''haye another with
some interest.
"No," was the reply. "Ho is the only
one Of the five now alive to tell the tale. ,

Because His Ma Didn't Dare to Leave Her

He was mere STRIPPING of a lad. He
might have been years of age or he

of certainty about the youthful counte-

his ancestors had come from old Ire
land. The little fellow walked hastily
into the Office of the warrant clerk of
Recorder Finnegan's court. He did not
notice the four persons standing in line
waiting to get affidayits made out
against some bothersome relatives, but
the youth pushed through the crowd
and disengaged the attention of the
clerk with this odd demand:
