Wanted to Re Polite.

No one made any remark upon the
tenaerity of the ladies who invited Am
brose Bierce to deliver lecture befroe
the members of the club. Bierce was
so taken aback by the uneXpectedness
of the request that. to his surprise. he
found himself weakly accepting the
bid. and then humbly consulting his
callers concerning the topic upon which
they might desire him to speak.
The President. Il dignified and very
conservative lady. in reply to a novel
suggestion of the lecturer elect, re-
marked somewhat loftily that they
were not a club of new women.
~ am convinced of that" answered
Mr.. Bierce in bland and deferential
tone which almost, If not quite, con-
cea1ed his cynicism. shall | say you

The JUDGES MISTAKE
Mr.. Woodward Intends to Brighten
the Guests, and He Succeeds.

Judge T. b. MartindaIe. Of Indian

est residences in that city-a large
stone mansion hidden from the street
ly a thick grove OF trees 1t was in
this house that one Of the most excit-
ing functions ever known in the Hoos-
ier capital took place many years ago.
for the first time The Judge. who
WAS one of the leaders of society and
at the same time was q pillar in the

Nest.
They were to be entertained at the
Judges ON the night set for the ball.
1t SO happened that every guest re-
CeIxed his notice save one. a merchant
named Woodward, who was on trip
through the Northwest. 1t also hap
pened that Mr.. Woodward had hit up
on the most startling disguise of any
planned He had bought complete
costume of Sioux war chief and in
tended making up as nearly Ike the
original as possible.
Mr. Woodward did not return to In
dianapolis until the evening fixed for
the BAH and. therefore, to save time
put on his costume at his office and
drove 10 the Martindale residence in
his carriage, which he dismissed at the
gate. Through the trees and shrub
berry he glided stealthiiy until he
reached the house. Looking through
the window. Mr.. Woodward saw some

whom he did not. but every one was

on a ledge. he made one spring through

meantime brandishing genuine toma-

The effect WAS astounding to the

To preserve his identity and make his
escape he gave a few more whoops ex-

of the window into the darkness
1t was explained to the foreign
guests that one of the Indianapolis In
dian tribes was evidently restless, but
that no further trouble need be feared.
As for Mr.. Woodward. his side of the
story was not known for nearly twenty
years Philadelphia Satur-

Paris boasts of a new club-the
"Sauvagistes, or "Savages." We have
heard of the '.Naturiens,' who propos-

but the "Sauvagistes" have gone a
step further. They have such hor-

wood together, as compared to the
modern sulphur match.

A Lesson BY Kaiser Frederick.

The memoir of Kaiser Frederick,
just published in Berlin, gives many
interesting anecdotes about the kindly
monarch whose reign was cut off in
such untimely fashion. Among them
IS one in which Jenny Lind figures.
Jenny Lind was at a small inn,
waiting for the post chaise that was
to carry her to Coblenz, and, inspired
by the beauty of the landscape and the
quiet of the moonlit n ght, was singing
4 ballad for her own amusement, when
mine host appeared to beg her to re-
peat the last verse for the benefit of
some Bonn students, newly arrived.
The songstress, who was sitting in
vine-clad arbor, responded, and when
she had finished a broad-shoaldered,
all young man entered, exclaiming:
Only Jenny Lind can sing so beauti-
FULLY" With that he pressed a bou-
quet of wild roses into her hand and
ed her out into the garden. Yes. that
was the face; those were the blond
locks of Jenny Lind, The singer smil-
ingly accepted the students thanks,
md said: You are a student; sing US
one of your own songs"
Bowling gracefully, the blond giant
sat down at the piano on the veranda,
md sang Arndt's great battle hymn.

,aren, Heraus," (''The BugIes Are
Sounding, Hussars, Ride Fast,'D
The beautiful melody; / would like
to know it, said Jenny Lind when the
student, whom his comrades called
Fritz had ended.
The Swedish nightingale wishes to
learn German war song? All that
is superb" cried Fritz. If you will
permit me l will repeat the words for
your benefit until you know them by
heart. The melody, l dare say, you
have mastered already" And for a
full hour Fritz and Jenny sat side by
side at the old piano, singing together.
thrice, ten times. until the great song
stress was letter perfect Then she
sang it once more as only she could
sing it, quite unconscious of the fact
that in the meantime her audience had
increased by venerable old man
whom the students regarded with the
greatest respect.
Now the soft notes of the Positions
horn sounded from affair, and a little
later the chaise drew up at the gate.
Jenny Lind rose hastily. Il must

you again, for in 4 few weeks / will
