THE NEWS FABLES.

Once upon time there were two Irishmen who were employed by 6 lumberman to roll logs down @ noun tain side. It happened laccording to the law of physics) that logs that were considerably larger at the butt would not roll straight down but woald turn half around, the large end rolling the faster. One of the sons of Erin devised what he considered sn ingenious idea to remedy this trouble and he tied 8 rope around the big end of log and fastened it to his waist. The log was started by his companion and straight way the rope began to wind up and soon the Irishmsn on the end of it was even with the log in the race down the hill. In an instant he was drawn over and under the log and thus alternately down the hill The other one hearing his frightened yells, called out to him, "stick to it, Jerry. Ye sre-on top half of the toime."

HOW ANTHONY HOPE READS

The Noted Novelist Doesn't Do His Best
 Hero Justice.
 When Anthony Hope ended his first reading in America, in Brooklyn, the other night, he had created one mild sensation he evidently did not count on. It came when he began to read chap ter from his most famous romance, ''The Prisoner of Zenda.'' A distinct gasp of astonishment and mild disap- proval went up toward the chandelier overhead when he called his heroine, not "Flah-via, as we are wont to pro- nounce it, but 'Flavia, with the long a.
 There was scarcely one of his auditors on that occasion who escaped two sensa- tions The first was on his entrance from the doorway in the rear of the stage when he came forward toward the table in the center holding four volumes in his hand. He walked as if he was en. tering a drawing room where some one was playing soft music and not at all al if he was about to make first impres. sion on the readers of nation of TO-. GOO, 900 people.
 The interviewers had given the inn precision that Anthony Hope resembled his most lovable young hero. But it was middle aged, sharp featured man upon whom their eyes rested, with only his British clothes to mark him for an Englishman.
 While the chairman was making a little speech of introduction the author. reader sat with hIs legs crossed, holding his chin in the palm of his hand and moothing his cheek with @ slender forefnger, surveying his first American audience with delightfully."- disinter- ested air. He was attired in convention. al evening dress, with the familiar square cut, open. collar, and wore 8 brilliant red carnation in the lapel oi his coat .....
 If his audience had any misgivings as to his ability to please them, they vanished at the first sound of his voice -clear, soft and with the quality that carries. His are not the methods of the professional elocutionist. He rarely ges. ticulates, usually standing either with arm behind his back or with his right forearm resting on the upper edge o1 the reading desk, grasping it with hi' right hand. Toward the end of the read ing he rested his volume on the upper edge of the desk, as if to see more clearly
 The stronger emotions of the final leave taking between Rudolf Rassendy. and the Princess Flavia affected him, and he knew it, for he read the chap ter "If Love Were All" in dull mono tone that gave every evidence of self re precision.
 This was the only note of disappoint ment. And it was summed up by gir in the audience, who declared audiblJ that "Sothern ought to give him per formance of The Prisoner of Zenda, so he might hear him do that scene. He was at his best in the crisp humol of the Dolly Dialogues. And, after all he was Anthony Hope reading Anthony Hopes stories. New York Press.

Yesterday tic Guthrie papers in
a four-line local announced that
Dan Ryan had been fined $500 by
Judge Burford for falsifying his
accounts.
Dan Ryan was a deputy U. S,
marshal under Marshal Nagle. 1t
will be remembered that Marshal
Nix was removed without warning
and Nagle given his place. Nagle
appointed Dan Ryan to take charge
of the courts in the Third district,
RYAN was a high roller and was
soon shelved. But about the time
Ryan was laid off a large number
of marshals were arrested and in
dicted for falsifying their accounts.

A GAINESVILLE TRAGEDY.
Outcome of IN GsmbIInG House Quarrel
Finds Andy Thomas q Corps.

At Gainesville Friday evening,
Jim Alden shot and killed Andy |
Thomas. The Hesperian gives the
following account of the affair:
1t was a gambling house brawl,
or rather the trouble originated |
there the night before. Thomas
entered the gambling room Thurs
day night and was soon involved |
in a quarrel. Alden had him eject
ed and Thomas, who bore the rep
utation of a bully and a dangerous
man, threatened. to come again and
kill Alden.
Yesterday evening he appeared
and was met at the head of the
stairs by Alden, who remarked:
Andy, have you come to kill
me7' Thomas made some kind
of reply and, according to Alden,
reached for his gun. The move
was fatal. Alden fired, the ball
striking Thomas square in the
heart. AS he reeled another shot
struck him in the back, the bullet
lodging IN front just under the
skin. The body of the dead man
went tumbling down the stairs,
striking every step with a terrible
distinctnsss.
Sheriff Womack was on hand
and to him Alden gave his pistol
with the remark, Il killed him. -
He was locked up and will proba-
bly, have an examining trial this
forenoon.
The above is the story as gleam-
ed during the first excitement.
The corOner's inquest, which was
begun last night, puts another
face on the whole affair.
Thomas had no weapon of any
sort and nothing in his pockets
but an old worn out knife and fifty
: cents. Three shots entered his
back and so close was Alden when
4 he fired that Thomas vest was set
S on fire and was blazing when Sher-
r iff Womack reached him. One
shot entered between the shoulder
blades and went clear through,
! Two inches to the left of the spine
a bullet went straight through the
heart. Another went entirelJ
through the body one inch to the
g left of the spine, and about three
e inches below this another bullet
s entered one-half inch to the left ot
g the backbone. The only shot from
in front inflicted a mere fesI
s wound.
a The inquest will be finished thi
k morning.

Inanpropriate Music.

Speaking of church music, there is nothing
which is so frequent a source of wonder to
me as the lack of understanding some of our
church musicians display in their choice OF
music. l have heard the intermezzo from
Cavalleria Rusticana played as an organ
voluntary-that intermezzo whose story of
earthly passions is so plain that it does not
need words. have heard the same organ
ist play Schubert's "Serenade" on COM
munion Sunday, but the most glaring exhi-
bition of bad taste I have ever heard was
just few Sundays ago when a certain So
prano sang an old hymn to that famous air
of Delilah's, Samson ct Delilah," the most
passionate music know. She sang it beau
tifully, too, and was evidently utterly un.
conscious of the fact that the meaning of
music does not depend entirely On the words.

Sabbath school-dear, simple soul-con-
graduate her on the success of her effort,
