Charlotte Bronte Not FIattered.

An interesting anecdote of Charlotte
Bronte is recalled by Mrs. Humphry
Ward in her biographical Introduction
to "Vilette." In 1851 the authoress,
having refused repeated invitations TO
London, on the ground that having
done no work she deserved no treat,
finally consented to pay a short visit
TO the family of her friend and pub
Usher, Mr.. George Smith.
Thackeray was at this time at the
height of his popularity in London, and
Miss Bronte arrived in time to hear
his second lecture on the English hui
moriSts.
When 1t was over, Thackeray, who
had recognized the timid little woman
sitting by Mrs. Smith, came down
from the platform, and, shaking hands
with Miss Bronte, asked her how she
liked ii. There are few persons who
would not have been f1attered by such
an attention, but Miss Bronte, on the
contrary, was almost offended by it.
and when she introduces a similar in
cident in ''ViIette" she comments on
the restlessness and the lack of de-
sirable self control on the part Of the
lecturer

2. T. Barnum's propensity for practi-
cal joking began early to assert itself.
Once n man was on trial in a local
court for a small misdemeanor. Learn
ing that he had no money to hire law
yer, Barnum offered to conduct his de-
Tense. With great solemnity he made
a lengthy plea in which he virtually
accused his client of being guilty OF
half the crimes on the calendar, end
ing with a recommendation to the mer-
cy OF the court on the ground of I'M
sound mind.
The man, though escaping with a
merely nominal sentence, was furious
at the trick that had been played on
him. He was finally appeased by Bar
NUNS explanation that he had pre-
pared a defense for two different eli
ents and had in his case delivered the
wrong plea.-Maitland Leroy Osborne

Mr.. HohmbOddie-No, I'll remember;
and, by the way, I'll take my tonic bot

So Butler For Him.

There is a wealthy but very hard
headed citizen of Detroit who has no
hesitancy in telling this story. on him
self:
IF there's anything on earth grinds
me it is to plunge into the social swim.
I'd far rather plunge into an ice cold
bath. One of these here steel pen coats
makes me want 10 go out and hide in
the hayloft, and a standin collar puts
me into a crouch for a week after I've
worn il.
But you know how women are.
They'll stand right by you when Twin
is up hill work, skimp, hustle and save.
but once they get money they want 4
show for it, and the bigger the show
the better. Things sorter come my way
in pine, and l cleaned up neat little
pile. I just grinned at carriages,
horses, a coachman, a lot of servants q
snookin round the house. receptions,
theater parties and all that sort of
thing.
But when they rung in genuine
butler on me l had a warm converse
ton with mamma and the girls. 1t
didn't do a mite of good. They talked
me clean off my feet, and the butler
came. l could have got away passably
with the president of the United States,
but that fellow, stiff backed, high head
ed, looking superiorlike and never
smilin less it was TO stab you, riled
me awful. One day while sittin in the
library 1 heard him tell one of the
maids he was goin to resign. What
for?' she asked. The last lady as
called took me for the barbarian
that's me.
For years 1 dealt with raftsmen and
lumbermen. 1 paid his bill for six
weeks in the hospital, and his wages
too. We keep no butler.'-Detroit Free

fed in killing Ethelbert Scott.
Frankfort. Ky, April 23.-EX-Repre-
sentative David G. Colson, who was
on trial here last week for the murder
OF Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott and
Luther w. Demaree. was acquitted by
the sxerdict of the jury which was rem
dered at 6:35 p. III. Saturday. The
jury was out only eighteen minutes.
Although il was long after the usual
time of the adjournment of the court,
and there was no certainty that an
early verdict would be reached, large
part of the crowd remained in the
court room. waiting for report from
the jury room. When it came there
was wild cheering.
The tragedy for which Colson was
tried occurred Jau. 16. In a fight with
Lieutenant Ethelbert F. Scott in the
lobby of the Capital hotel. crowded
at the time by people attracted here
from over the state by the political
contests, Colson killed his antagonist,
Scott, and Luther W. Demaree and
Charles Julian. by-Standers. and
wounded Captain Il. b. Golden. who
accompanied Scott. and whom ColSon' 5
friends charge with having taken part
in the battle. COlSon was wounded
in the arm. The weight of the evil
dence was that he received this wound
early in the fight and that Scott fired
before Colson arose from his chair;
also that Scott WAS TO all practical
intents cunning for ColSon. and that
Colson had tried to avoid his enemy.
The trouble was due to feud arising
between the tive men when they were
officers in the Kentucky volunteers in
the SnaniSh war

from the forest fire district are very
meagre. but from the best information
obtainable the worst of the scare is
over and the fires are dying down. The
excitement among the settlers and in
habitantS of the timber towns. which
was intense for a day or two, hasdis-
appeared. \ good many thousands of
dollars damage was done, however,
and owing to the unusually dry con-
dition of the underbrush and timber
the danger is not altogether removed
Rain is anXiously looked for. and I'M
til it comes anxiety will continue.
\ report has reached the city from
Lakeside. a suburb six miles east. that
the timber a few miles north of there
is burning. and the fire appears to be
widening in its area quite rapidly. The
wind is from the south, but not strong.
Saturday it was reported at Winni-
peg, Man. that about 500 persons
farmers and lumbermen-were in
imminent peril in the bush fires in that
region. The latest from Winnipeg is
that of 200 men only thirty-one
