SOME RASH PROMISES.

A French artist, Gericauld, was de-
termined to allow no distraction to in
terfere with the painting of his great
picture, "The Wreck of the Medusa."
He had his head shaved and vowed that
he would never allow his hair to grow
until his work was done. This vow he
religiously kept, In spite of strong
temptation to break it, and the reward
of his heroism was the most perfect
painting of his life.
A story is told of a young man in
England, a great chess enthusiast, who
was so annoyed at his failure to solve
an apparently simple problem that he
vowed he would neither sleep nor eat
until the solution was found. He shut
himself up in a disused room and was
found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of mind.
He spent year in lunatic asylum as
lem remains unsolved.
1t was for a very curious reason that
an old lady, who died a few years ago,
condemned herself to more than 30
years confinement to her house. She
had married a widower, as miserly as
he was unromantic, and he insisted
that his second wife should wear the
clothes left behind her by his first wife.
The wife was as mutinous as the hus-
band was resolute, and she determined
that until she could have her own
clothes she would never leave the
house; a VOW she keut until her death.
Woman appears to be at the root of
many eccentric VOWS; for it was a
hatred of the sex that impelled once
well-known lawyer to swear that he
would never speak to woman again
as long as he lived. Nothing would in
duce him to see lady client, and he
would never conduct a case in which a
woman appeared as witness. He never
employed a female servant, and de-
liberately "cut" all his lady acquaint-
ances. The inevitable result was that
the men deserted him, his practice
dwindled, and he died, less than year
ago, alone in a squalid room.

"Stand by and I will see. what
can be found to thaw the cookies" said
the lieutenant.
He fetched us to the table and took
from locker hard by hospitable-
looking black bottle. Glasses were in
the rack overhead, and he filed four
and bade US toss off. It proved to be
very good sack, and was most accept
able. chilled and weary as we were.
The lieutenant kept us company, and,
when we had all emptied a second of
the small glasses. he opened the low
door leading into the 'tween-decks, and
piloted US along to the steerage. AS the
ship carried no cargo, all this space
was given up to sleeping accommoda-
tions, but in truth there was no room
to spare. as the company was so great.
The lieutenant, who, like most big.
heshy men, seemed rather good-na-
tured. and who might have been made
more SO by the wine. bade us find
places and make ourselves at home, and
withdrew to hunt up the clothes. These
came in due time, not ill-fitting sea rigs.
but better than we expected, Mr.. lynn
in particular. very trim and decent.
While we were shifting, we re-
lieved Mac Ivrach's curiosity by telling
him into whose hands we had fallen.
After concluding, we all agreed that we
could do no more now than to conduct
ourselves quietly treating the bucca-
neers in a civil manner, and beyond
that must wait for Pradey's disclosure.
What that might be we hazarded some
guesses about, but, of course, could re-
solve nothing certain.
We did not specially avoid Pradey,
and, indeed, secretly hoped that he
would be out with his communication,
so that we could tell what to depend
upon. but somewhat to our disappoint-
ment he made no sign. We talked a
little. but guardedly, with the crew,
explaining briefly. in answer to their
questions. how our adventure oc-
Cured, but going into nothing of mo-
ment.
The rest of the afternoon passed,
and at supper time there was no i'm
portant change in the situation, The
Black Eagle, as our ship was named,
very nearly held her own, but carry
ing fully as much canvas forward as
the present wind and her weak,
patched-up mast warranted. Supper
was served both below and on deck,
and we chose ours in the latter place,
our mess tub being shared in common
with an Englishman, two Swedes and a
negro.
We found the fare very good-far be-
yond what it would be on any mer-
chant ship. and certainly better than
it was or is in the royal navy-and
everything washed down with plenty
of wine and ale.
The meal over, we lounged about the
deck, and finally repaired to the mid

The First Invention. Its Inventor and
Others Were Overwhelmed
in Ruin.

The idea of a self-lockine coupler
suggested itself to inventors many
years ago, and away back in 1856 or
whereabouts prosperous Kentucky
farmer named Mclean figured OUT a
device that seemed to fill the bill 10 a
dot. 1t consisted of pair of inter
locking levers, controlled by very
simple mechanism, and the model
worked like charm. Mclean was sat
isfied he had fortune in sight. and
went north to interview a certain big
railroad magnate. To his surprise the
magnate failed to enthuse, and, while
he admitted that the invention was
good thing, he declined absolutely
to have anything to do with it. OF
course, he was proceeding Oh the
well-known theory that it is folly to
waste money improving the service
when you don't have to, but the farm
er couldn't grasp the idea, and lie be-
gan pilgrimage from one headquar-
ter office to another, appealing, expos
tulating and explaining the merits of
his apparatus. What bewildered him
was that everybody freely admitted the
consider its adoption. Finally the war
came on, and everything else was swept
into the background for four years.
After peace was declared Mclean be-
gan again, confident as ever. He had
been worth $50,00O or 100000 when he
started, and he eventually reduced him
self to penury. Everything went
into the nav of the invention, and
along about 1868 he died, a broken
hearted brother. The coupler patent
then passed into the hands of a cousin,
who was merchant in Louisville.
When he studied the device he became
an enthusiast and began q new cam
paign where Mclean left off. To make
long story short, he sunk everything
he had on earth il, an effort to get it
adopted, and finally committed suicide.
His lawyer took the coupler for back
fees and inherited the hoodoo. In a
little while he was devoting his entire
time and attention to the work of pro-
noting, and seemed continually on the
verge of reaping q big fortune. He
kept at it until his health and re-
sources came to an end together, and
the last heard of him he was working
as clerk in Los Angeles. Meanwhile
the coupler had been outclassed by
new devices, and only few months ago
the old model was in a Chicago rail-
way Office, where it had been left as a
curio. Strange, isn't it. that a really
valuable and useful invention should
have wrecked SO many hves?-N. O..
