SOCIAL TACT.
Two Occasions Upon Which the Quality
Was Most Admirably Displayed.

Two Occasions Upon Which the Quality
Was Most Admirably Displayed.
The late M. Challemel-L -Lacour, a
distinguished member of the French
academy, was noted for his tact and
readiness in social emergencies.
Both were severely tried upon one
occasion. M. Challemel-Lacour was
sent as ambassador from France to
the Swiss confederation. He called
in due form on his arrival upon the
president. The servant who opened
the door said that his excellency
was in the cellar bottli3g wine, but
that the visitor coulc:& Come in and
wait. The ambassador hung up his
overcoat in the hall and went into
the parlor. Presently the Swiss
ruler busTled in.

glanoing down. "1t is my sons, to
tell the truth. I hurried it on with
out looking at it. !"
The ambassador bowed and
smiled. It was his own coat.
The interview being over, he
went home shivering. He sent a
messenger the next day for his
"coat, which he had hung up in the
hail."
OF all the qualities once essential
to sovereign the one most useful
now is tact. Queen Margherita of
Italy, who belongs to house train
ed to kingcraft for more than 1000
years, is said to be wonderfully
skillful in dealing with social diff
culties. An incident which occurred
at one of her drawing rooms illus
trates her readiness and delicacy.
The persons who are to be pre-
sented at the Roman court are ar
ranged in a large semicirole in the
throneroom. The queen enters and
passes around the line, attended by
chamberlain, who names each per-
son, adding usually word or two
to give the queen some idea of their
claim to notice. She asks a question
or makes remark to each and pass
es on.
On this occasion there was In the
line a young man from South Amer
lea whose embarrassment showed
itself in pale cheeks and terrified
glances as the queen drew nearer.
At Last she reached him, and stop
ped He heard his name and saw her
smile. There was q roaring in his
ears; his knees shook. Every eye
was bent upon him with amused in
terest, his terror was 30 perceptible.
"From Brazil9" she asked. "And
what town in Brazil is your home,
signori"
"I-your majesty-1d don't knowr'
he gasped.
The whole circle smiled, but the
queens face WAS calm as marble.
"You mean that our beautiful Italy
already has made you forget your
homes Ah, signor, you are skill-
full courtierl You fatter us too
much" And playfully shaking her
fan at him she passed on, leaving
him wondering how he came to
make 80 brilliant a response, while
the crowd looked at him, respectful
" bewildered also.-Youth's Com
panion.

That afternoon Jerry and John

AS they stood the silence was bro
len by the clatter of hoofs, and
around the bend, side by side, came
two horses. The riders were Bob

"Goodby, boys" said the former,
as he refined up. "Nita and are on

tinctly into view through the fog.
AS he raised his arm, Nita seized it,
crying: Don't shootl Surely my

"Hands upl" rang out the com

were leveled at Bob.

sessions in the records of the society
the chairman succeeded in restoring
order and the convention decided that
a good moral character was as import

The trouble was occasioned by the
nomination of one of the best known
socialists in the Thirteenth ward for
the office of county commissioner. His
nomination brought forth an emphatic
objection from the other members of
the Thirteenth ward organization. They
claimed he was notorious for ill-using
his wife and was not a fit man to hold
office. Others thought his private life
had no bearing on the case so long as
his socialistic views were orthodox. The
final decision resulted in victory for the

YOUTH AND OLD AGE.
Veteran General Merritt Engaged to
a 20 Year Old Chicago Girl

Chicago, May 24.-The formal an
nouncement of the engagement of Miss
Laura Williams, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Norman Williams of Chicago
and granddaughter OF the late John
Dean Cation, to Major General Wesley
Merritt, military governor of the Phil
ippine Islands, has been made.
Miss Williams is about 20 years old
a brunette, graceful and petite, but of
striking appearance, with jet black hair
and eyes and brilliant coloring. She has
received much attention here and
abroad, and especially in London, where
she was the guest of Robert T. Lincoln,
when he was the representative of this
country at the court of st. James. She
was presented at the queens drawing
room with Miss Lincoln.
Norman Williams has for a number
Of years been one of the well known fig
ures in Chicago legal and financial cir
cles.
Gen. Merritt was born in Illinois and
is a graduate of West Point. He enter
ed the war directly after graduation, in
1861. In April, 1863, he was appointed
brigadier general and his services
throughout the war were of the most
distinguished kind. Since its close he
has made a name for himself in Indian
fighting and, in 1895 was made a major
general.
General Merritt left for the Pacific
coast last night on a special car attach
ed to the o'clock Omaha train of the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad. He
steadily refused to be interviewed and
the members of his staff maintained the
same reticence.

In the Last Throes Railroad Signal
Man Prevents Disaster.

Bill Freel' stood for many years in
the railroad signal tower in Dunton. a
little place on Long Island, guarding
against disaster to the trains on the
road; He was reckoned to be a faith
plOdder by the roads officials, so they
rewarded him by permitting him to
hold his position Every month he got
his wages in an envelope
Bill took the money home to his wife
and family and went on watching
trains, his keen gray eye sweeping up
and down the tracks at night for lights
which would indicate the approach of
train.
Bill always knew that there was
something wrong with his heart. At
times. it didn't work right. STILL he
kept the secret to himself. Bill wasn't
much of hand to worry other persons
mot even his wife-with his own trou-
bles.
He was on the lookout last night, as
usual. His eyes pierced the blackness,
and down the track he saw a train APP
preaching. Then he became bewilder-
ed. A sudden and severe pain came in
his heart. He looked up the track and
thought he saw another train COM
ing.
Bill grew pale. His head was swim
ming. Suddenly he realized the truth.
His heart wasn't working right. He
made up his mind that the end had
come.
Staggering to the set of levers which
control the switches he set them right,
and then a great f1aring eye of red IN
the signal lamps cleaned up and down
the tracks. 1t was a signal of danger
in both directions.
Bill staggered to a chair and sat
down. His heart had stopped working
entirely. He was dead. Then a freight
train from Greenport came along. It
stopped when the danger light was

climbed through a window and found
Bill Freel there. He was dead, but his
body was warm.
Bill Warner fixed the signals and
went ahead, but few trainmen remain
ed behind and took Bill Freels body
home to his widow and his babies.
