An InKenioua Toner.

An eminent tragedian, given to in
toxicants, was once locked u2 In a
room at the rear of the theater to keep
him in proper condition till he was call
ed to go on the stage One door of the
compartment opened on the street, and
while looking through the keyhole he
saw n man passing.
Calling him up to the door, he pushed
some money through a crack and in
structed him to go to the public house
at the opposite corner and procure a
pint of gin and a clay pipe, promising
to reward him for his trouble
The man did as directed, and when
he returned with the articles, the actor
told him to put the stem of the pipe
through the keyhole and pour the gin
carefully into the bowl
These instructions the accommodate
ing individual also followed, and the
result was that when the manager call
ed to notify him of his turn he found
him In very happy frame Of mind.
but not at all in a condition calculated
to add to his fame as an actor.-Lon-

The dead body of Frank Miller
negro man some 40 years Of age
was found some time last Sunday
near the Santa Fe track. four miles
north Of the city.
1t is supposed that the deceased
fell from a moving freight traiu
some time Saturday night. or
which he was stealing a ride from
Gainesville to the Territory.
In the fall he struck on bis
shoulder and the side of the head
breaking his neck and probably
dying instantly.
No one seems to have seen him
fall. Squire Rogers held an in
quest over the body Sunday after
noon, after which the remains
were inferred in the cemetery

This is how a Spanish senorita bar.
| gains for her fan, according to Miss
Katharine Lee Bates, who spent some
time In Spain studying the people and
customs Of that sunny cline:
There is nothing sordid about 1t.
Her haggling is a social condescension
that at once puts the black eyed young
salesman at her mercy.
But the fan seems to me the least
bit dear, senorr
He shrugs his shoulders and flings
out his arm In protest.
"Ah, senoritaI You do not see how
beautiful the work Is. 1 am giving 1t
away at pesetas."
She lifts her eyebrows half incredu-
lously. all bewitchingly.
"At pesetas, senOr."
He runs his hand through his black
hair in chlvalrous distress.
''But the peerless work, senorita! And
this other too. 1 sacrifice 1t at pese-
tas."
She touches both fans lightly.
You will let us have the two at z
pesetas, senorr'
Her eyes dance over his confusion.
He catches the gleam, laughs back,
throws up his hands.

And the senorita trips away content

One Of the most curious sights to be
seen In cavalry charge is the various
riderless horses gnlloping In the line In
perfect order. At the charge Of Bala-
klaya the front rank of one regiment
was composed to a great extent of rid
erless animals. their masters having
dropped one by one. 1t would seem
that in the excitement of the moment
the horses lose all conception Of what
is Happening around them and proba-
bly, fail to notice the fall of their rid
ers.
The return of rideriess horses to
camp Is an almost certain sign OF de-
feat. When q cavalry charge Is sue
cessful, the horses win, as have said,
all keep up together, even though they
have lost their riders. but when a force
is routed the first news Of III omen to
those in the rear will be the return Of
the horses with empty saddles and
stirrups dangling free. No more sorry
sight can be imagined. To illustrate
the calious feeling these animals have
under fire a-case which happened at
Ladysmith during the siege may be
cited. A farrier sergeant was engaged
In shoeing an officers horse in the open
ground behind the stables of a hotel
and had already put one or two nails
into the shoe when q shell came scream
ing through the air. The next mo-
ment the missile burst five or six yards
away from where the sergeant and the
horse were standing, and the splinters
few around both, but failed to touch
either. When the smoke had cleared.
the horse was to be seen with its foot
still in the mans apron, quite undis-
turbed by the incident = Pearson's
