Got Even With randolph.

One night when travelling through
Virginia John Randolph stopped at al
inn near the forks of two roads. The
innkeeper was fine old gentleman
and, knowing who his distinguished
guest was, he endeavored during thu
evening to draw him into converse
ton, but failed. But in the morning
when Mr.. Randolph was ready tC
start, he called for his bill and paid It
The landlord, still anxious to have
some conversation, tackled him again
(Which way are you travelling Mr.

of displeasure.

The landlord by this time got some
what excited, and Mr. Randolph drove
off. But to the landlords surprise in
n few minutes he sent one of the serv-
ants to inquire which of the forks of
the road to take, Mr.. Randolph, still
being within hearing distance, the
landlord yelled at the top of his voice:
"Mr. Randolph you don't owe me
one cent; take whichever road you
please"

A peddler the other day found him
self in an office building occupied
wholly by lawyers. He went up to
the first flat looking for a customer,
but he found all the doors locked. Then
he went up to the second fiat, and there
he found everybody absent, and so at
last he went to the top fiat Here he
espied an open door, and, hooking in,
saw a man busy writing at his desk.
The peddler began telling of his wares,
but the lawyer interrupted with, mo,

continued, and again the lawyer pro-
tested. Il tell you | don't want any
thing. Get OUT But the peddler per-
sisted so that the lawyer, thoroughly
angry, quickly arose and threw the in.
truder down the stairs.
Just as he landed the lawyers part
ner appeared, and, taking ii for grant
ed that there was good reason for such
action, he seized the poor man and
threw him down the next fight.
Strange enough, the janitor of the
building saw the second landing of the
peddler, and the fact that he was a
peddler was enough to cause him to
seize the victim and throw him down
the final flight of stairs. Here the I'M
fortunate man picked himself up, and,
rubbing his bruises. observed, well,

with Preston sons and daughters, and
marriage after marriage followed.

In no way related before the weddings,

Mrs. Draper, after series of social
triumphs in Boston and New York,
went abroad to tire court of Humbert.
Here she made the most striking
success.
At the first reception, the queen, so
the story runs, hearing of the Ameri-
can beauty and learning by accident
Of the wealth Of her jewels, brought
out the entire jewel case In order to at
once and forever down all aspirations
to outshine her.
Mrs. Draper, knowing nothing of
this, gowned herself as for any very
elegant occasion. She wore her mar
velous strings of pearls, her pendant
of diamonds. her tiara. her bracelets
and her splendid rings.
When Marguerite saw these she was
astonished and then and there gave up
all attempts to impress the wife of the
American ambassador, who uninten-
tionally had far outshone the court
jewels. In beauty, too. she excelled
the queen, being younger and much
more regular in feature, though Mar
guerlte Is wonderful in her loveliness.-

Anecdote of Heureaux.

Some years ago a conspiracy headed
by several prominent young men OF
the Santo Domingo republic, who hop
ed to gain wealth and position through
the death of HeureauX, attempted to
take his life and start a revolution.
Their plot was cleverly planned and
seemingly sure of success. for the pres
ident showed no suspicious, continu-
Ing his customary mode of life, walk
ing and driving throughout the city ms
usual without guards, although at that
time he was fully posted in every de-
tail of their scheme, and when their
plans were fully matured and their
time for action at hand he had them
all arrested and thrown into the dun
geons of the old fortihCations.
The penalty for crimes of this sort
Is always death. SO soon after their
arrest they were drawn up in line on
the old parade grounds within the
walls OF the old fort and told to pre-
pare for death, after which the firing
were ordered to fire. AS they did 50
one man fell.
The president, who was witness,
then stepped forward and said: "Mv
children, you have attempted to ruin
your country and take my life, and
for this you are legally subject to
death, but ! do not want to see you
die so young. That man on the ground
had to give up his life to pay the pen
atty for his misdeeds. If you ever plot
against me again, you will be where he
is. Look at him, remember what !
have said and then go, for you ar,
