HIS. FRIEND AND ENEMy

In the early part Of this century, says
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. three broth
ers named O'Donnell left their native
country-Ireland. of course-and went
to live In Spain, where they all had ex-
traordinary careers. One died in 1857.
after he had become the Duke of Te-
tuan. though he was better known as
General O'Donneli. He was one of the
most brilliant military men of his time
The youngest brother was cut off in his
youth; but nothing in the lives of tbs
others is so strange and touching as
the story Of his death.
In 1892 there was war In Spain re
garding the succession to the throne.
and young O'Donnell declared himself
tor Isabella, who was. indeed sooc
proclaimed queen. But before that
time O'Donnell fell prisoner to Gen
Zumalacarreguy. leader of the Car
list forces. The young Irishman looked
upon this as almost a piece of good
luck. for the Carlst leader was an old
schoolmate of his. The two friends eel
ebrated this meeting after separation
OF years as a festive occasion, and as
they ate supper together and drank
toasts to old times Zumalacarregu1
said:
Your captivity will be brief. my
friend; l am just about to send off a
flag of truce to your general to nego
tate an exchange Of prisoners. so that
you may expect to be free tomorrow
The flag of truce was. indeed, sent.
but the result was terribly unexpected
The general Of the Christanos-tha:
was the name given to Isabella's party
answered the Carlst envoy by say.
ing:
II will show you how treat rebels.
and forthwith he had all his Carlis.
prisoners brought out and shot down
before the eyes of the Christanos, and
the officer had no better news than the
story of their death to take back to his
chief.
The next morning Zumalacarreguy
came into his tent. where the prisoner
was breakfasting. wearing a very I'M
happy expression; he sat down in si
lence.
What is the matter?" asked O'Don-
nell Have you slept badly, or was
YOUR chocolate burnt?'
II am immensely disturbed" was the
answer, and he told how the Carllst
prisoners had been shot. and added:
pue!IJ AN 'sIps!IdeL 9Npu lsnlu T.,
in one hours time you must be shot
no matter how l feel about it,"
Yes. that is a matter Of course: YOU
must not distress yourself about it: ]
would act in the same way myself
Now, give ME a couple of cigarettes
and writing material. for I must write
a letter. which I will trouble you to
take care Of after my execution
AS he was finishing the letter the
guard came to take out the prisoner.
ODonnell got up at once. shook hand.
with the man who was both his friend
and his enemy. lit another cigarette
and walked out to be shot.

SOME CRUSHING; QUESTIONS.

A'oNlF- " HONS.
~ SIMPLE question put in parliament a
few years ago caused IL laugh through
out all England. and defeated Il greas
measure. MIR. Curzon. then under Sec
rotary for India. was making Il Ions
and elaborate speech against Il meas
ure urged by the opposition regarding
that dependency, as certain to result
IN loss to the government of man,
lncs or rupees. He repeated with en-
phasis: Consider. Not pounds no,
s.'ineas. but lacs Of rupees!"
quiet voice on the opposition
benches asked: Exactly how much il
lac of rupeea?"
Mr.. Curzon opened his mouth. STAN
mered. grew red. and then. with Eng
lish candor. said: II really don't know
The House laughed. and in that laugh
he lost his cause.
y somewhat similar scene occurred
many years ago in Congress. a present
OF Arabian horses. q sword. etc. ar.
rived from the Imam of Aluscat for
President Adams. recalls the YOUTHS
Companion. y Western member with
some heat. moved that the gift should
be sent back. With a letter from Con
gress informing the ruler OF Muscat
that the President of the l1.itcd States
WAS no king, but the cerNant If III"
people. and was not permitted to give
or receive presents.
Another member rose. such n letter.
Mr. Speaker he said. can easily b.
written. But where is it to be sent?
Where is Muscat?'
There was no response. Apparently
not a member of the House was pre-
pared to answer. nor could Muscat then
be found in any atlas published in this
country. 1t was found at last on
German map. a civil answer was re
turned, and the geographers made
haste To insert Muscat in the next
edition Of their maps.
Nothing perforateS bombastic RAZOR,
like sharp question. When Burke. in
the height of z laborcd peroration in
parliament against France. drew q
dagger and threw it on the floor. some
body made the act absurd by saying:
Yes. that's the knife. Where's the
fork ?"
Equally sharp was the reply Of Pope
Plus Nv, when the cardinals met and
condoled with him on the
sufferings in certain villages from
earthquakes and famine
How much are You sorry. my breth-
ren?' he said. How mony lire does
your sympathy weigh?"
The only answer possible to this
question was the relief of the villages.

An Angry Artist.

Turner. passing a print shop. noticed
In the window copy of one of the en-.
cravings from his famous "Liber Studi.

ragged state. and Turner naturally felt
aggrleved at seeing the work of his
hands in this dilapidated condition.
Entering the shop; he asked to sec
the master. and when the man came
forward. Turner ut once proceeded to
blame him, In no measured forms, for
having allowed the valuable print to
become so distlgured.
The man protested that It was no
fault Of his, as hc'did but Offer the en-.
craving for sale In the same state In
which, lie, had bought It from another
dealer. This did not satisfy Turner.
and ut last the print seller lost all pa.

American Fleet Will Have No Trouble
in This Respect.

London, May S.-Little additional
news has arrived from Manila, but the
cardinal fact Is that Commodore Dewey is
now is possession of Manila bay and can
certainly take possession OF Corregidor
island, even if he finds difficulty in
effectually capturing Manila itself, owing
to the absence of a necessary landing
force. Having thus secured a naval base
he will have no difficulty in securing
supplies Of coal.
