It centers about his salient trait of be-
ing pugnaciou' just as all current and

candescent bit of profanity. But the
story runs thus, as the general is made
to tell it:
"Once, when was a boy at SCHOOL,
wasn't more than 10 or II years old at
the time-our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
putting questions beginning with the
pupil at the head Of the row and going
down toward the foot, until some one
could give the correct answer. I stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was a boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead Of
me in the various studies that we had.

the teacher asked.
"While one after another of the boys
and girls ahead Of me guessed and
failed to get it right figured out what
thought the answer ought to be. The
question had almost got to me when I
heard the big boy just below me whis-
pering, apparently to himself, but loud
enough for me to hear, '29, 20, 90
"Finally the pupil above me failed
to answer correctly, and then it was my
turn.
We'll, Willie, said the teacher,
let's see if you know the answer. Come,

II cooked my head up proudly on one
side, cast triumphant look at those
who had fallen down on the problem
and said, SO that everybody in the
schoolroom could hear me:
'Twenty-nine!'

A CHINESE WEDDING.
Everything Connected With the Cere-

Everything Connected Whit Cere-
monies Is Decked In Red.
The Chinese place a significance upon
every color, and in connection with
wedding red obtains deep rooted,
mysterious Importance, the next bridal
color in value being gold. At a be-
trothal the bridegroom elect sends his
sweetheart pair of bracelets fastened
together with a piece of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by a red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each hat has red
feather stuck upright in it. The attend
ants also carry the wedding presents.
A sedan chair bears the bride herself.
In south China sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
classes, and it is decorated with what
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingfsher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with
trimmed border is also thrown over the
chair. ..a =
In the case Of the poorer classes red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
chair of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed bright red, is used. Above the door
of the chair kind of charm is placard-
ed or hung upon red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom-
panied by what corresponds to our best
man. This functionary brings with him
letter written in yellow or gold upon
red paper, praying the lady to enter
and take her place.
| Men dressed all in red and carrying
red parcels containing the presents fall
into the procession. Other bearers carry
boards and banners, inscribed in golden
letters upon red ground. These ban
ners tell the pedigree of both parties.
Behind the bearers come the other at

hung very handsome lanterns. The

JACK HORNER.
The Rich Plum That He Extracted
From That Christmas Pie.

The Rich Plum That He Extracted
From That Christmas Pie.
For the benefit of those who are not
quite little folks Agnes Carr Sage, in
Lippincotts Magazine, tells the origin
and history of some famous nursery
stories and rhymes, among them 1.-THE
Pleasant History of Jack Horner," con-
tanning Ellis Witty Tricks and Pleas
ant Pranks,'' for SO it is set forth in
very old chapbook, carefully preserved
in the Bodleian library.
It appears that this worthy was Stew
ard to an abbot of Glastonbury. The
good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII had seen fit to be indignant
because the monks had built kitchen
which he could not burn down. Now, a
kings indignation was dangerous and
must be appeased. Therefore the abbot
sent his steward, Jack Horner, to pre-
sent the sovereign with suitable peace
Offering. It took the form of big and
tempting looking pie, beneath the crust
ors were hidden.
But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit of No. /, and on the road he
slyly lifted the crust and distracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells On his
return, bringing the deeds, he plausibly
explained that they had been given to
him by the king; hence the rhyme:
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner (of the wagon),
Eying his Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb
And pulled out plum (the title deed),

the Third United States artillery, and de-
on its way to Manila.
AS the vessel gradually drew away from
her dock today the blowing Of many whis-
ties told the people that General Merritt
had taken his departure.
Great crowds had gathered to witness
the departure OF the vessel and many
fashionable equipages on the dock told OF
the presence of the representatives of the

friends among the men Of the Astor bat
terry.
Many tug boats and yachts we're char

the Newport down the bay and out through
the Golden Gate to the Pacific, where last
farewells were waved to departing military
men gather on the deck of the steamer.
The Newport will make an effort to over
take the fleet OF transports which sailed on
Monday. General Merritt is very anxious
to avoid an encounter with any vessel of
the Spanish navy and will issue orders to
the fleet at Honolulu to make all possible
speed.
1t is probable that the Newport will not
wait for the other vessels of the fleet at
Honolulu. but will proceed with as little
delay as possible to Manila.
