BLANCHE X. BRUCE's TACT.
How the Colored senator Exercised
IL TO Avert Trouble ON a Mis-
sissippi Steamboat

On one of Blanche X. Bruce's recent
visits to New York he told of an eN-
3erience which he had just after he was
elected senator from Mississippi, and il
was ~ experience which illustrates he
TACT and GOOD sense which always char
icter,@ed MN, and which explained
much oi tbe success and respect which
he gained oy his public life in Washing
Ton. Ii was announced that the sena tor
would go TO Washington from his Mis-
sissippi home by one of the Mississippi
steamboats,, at least as far as st. Louis
on his way. The captain, man of the
name OF Leathers, was typical Missis-
sippi steamboat captain, and he was re-
ported to have said that he would show
tie black senator when he got aboard
of his boat that he would have to keep
his place on that boat. and IL he pllt
on any airs because he happened to be
senator the captain would teach him
manners.
As soon as Bruce boarded the steam
boat he sought the captain and said to
him: Captain Leathers, am going to
Washington, and a part of the way as
passenger on your steamboat. NV
name is Bruce, and possibly you may
have heard of me. What | wanted TO
say is that ! know perfectly well what
the feeling of many people who are
travellers regarding persons of my color
is. They cannot help it, and | cannot
help 1t, and ] am going to give them no
occasion for any annoyance while am
passenger on your boat. / simply ask
that you see TO il that | am made as
comfortable as possible, and assure
You that you will have no reason for
complaint"
The bluff captain stepped back a
pace or two, looked Bruce over, and
then held out his hand and said, with
great emphasis: by -, you shall
fit at my table: you shall sit on my
Fight hand on the entire trip, and il
any man objects he will have to fight

and who is as fair as you are is -

tors have carried on this boat" and on

'The longer live the more firmly / am

never one of 'em would stop. They might

not worth considering. Ii we would be rich

plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.

A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Casan Won Praise and Honor from
the Great Genghis Khan.

Now it so happened that Genghis, in
order to subdue the deserters from his
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or khans. These petty chiefs
had been in the habit of paying tribute
TO the great sovereign of the Kin en-
pire in North China. This high and
mighty potentate now demanded money
from Genghis Khan, thereby rousing
the ire OF our Mongolian warrior, who
announced that rather than pay one
cent for tribute he would fight the
whole Chinese kingdom. Preparations
for war were at once begun, and Casan
was delighted when he received orders
TO join the army. At last his dream
was realized. He was going to fight real
battles. and he was in command of "A
body of troops. He bade adieu to his
family, and with u proud heart set out
to meet his sovereign.
As first step Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea. captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer to a
place called Lung Ting. in order to es-
cape the great heat of the plains or
steppes. While there news reached
him that several other khans were pre-
pairing for war lie thcreupon descend
ed from the heights, marched against
his foes and in a pitched battle on the
River Irish he overthrow them COM
pletely. Casan attracted great deal OF
notice On this occasion. He was here,
there and everywhere. On his mettle-
some charger he bounded into the
thickest of the Eght, Lnrling his lance
with unerring aim and displaying great
courage.
After the fray he was summoned to
appear before the conqueror, who com
plimented the dwarf, saying: Thy
valor and thy courage have completely
justified thy promises From this day
forth thou shalt be khan; thou shalt
have command of a large body of troops
and shalt hereafter be my companion in
arms Mary Shearz Roberts, in St
