KITCHENCk'S NERVE.
He Demanded $25,0OO From Lord
ROthSchild.

The other day some ladies wrote to
Lord Kitchener suggesting that he
should give some thought to the girls
as well as the boys of the Sudan. There
upon the sirdar wrote the reply that
when he had got his Gordon college
working well for the boys he would
think of tie girls Then came the char
acteristic addition that when that mo-
ment came he would not fail to call on
these ladies for subscriptions to help
him in the work, which reminds me
of story so like the man that it is
worth retelling. l may say that he tells
1t himself Of himself with great gusto.
When Kitchener was starting his list
for the el00, 900 he demanded for the
Gordon college. he was advised that the
first and best step he could take was to
attend lunch in the city which Lord
Rothschild would give. The lunch was
duly ordered the guests were met, the
table set In the middle there was an
awkward pause. Lord Rothschild was
observed to leave Lord Kitchener after
a short conversation, and az LOr0
Rothschild's face was somewhat flushed
and his eyes shone brightly it was easily
seen that the great banker was not
pleased.
And he wasn't, for what had hap
pened was this. Lord Kitchener, with
that shrewd sense he has, especially
where money is concerned, saw that
the amount of the subscriptions Of 9th
ers would largely depend on the amount
with which Lord Rothschild would
start the list. He fixed that amount in
his own mind at 1000 When Lord
Rothschild came up to him, Kitchener
asked, with characteristic hluntuess,
what amount he wished TO subscribe.
Zone thousand pounds. replied
Lord Rothschild little taken aback.
81 want ej, O0O," said Kitchener,
"and, moreover, unless l get it shan't
stay to lunch. "
Lord Rothschild Is generous-the
generosity of the family is as well
known indeed as its wealth-but stand
and deliver message Of this kind was
something more than even the most
generous Of men would like. And that |
was why Lord Rothschild looked angry. |
The news spread through the room.
Surprise and horror were on every face.
and several Of the guests went mp to
Kitchener to demonstrate, Wolseley at
the head. They might as well have
talked to the Egyptian sphinx. Give
thousand pounds or 60, said Kitch
ener. He got the fj, 600 with the result
he had anticipated-four other multi
had to follow Lord Roths
childs example, and when the lunch
was over the subscription for the Cor
don college was well started with 925,-
600. Mainly Abont People.

WOULDN'T BELIEVE 1T.
He Thought Young Jesse James Must
De n Dig Man.

De n Dig Man.
Heroes come and heroes go, but Jesse
James goes on forever In spite of the
fact that one or two eastern newspa-
pers were much put out because be
was not convicted, whether or no, in
his recent trial for train robbery, he
continues the idol Of numerous wor-
shippers, who gather about his shrine
daily. 1t was the most considerate act
of his life when he deserted the court
house and set up cigar stand on
Ninth street. where his admirers more
readily reach him.
The unassuming appearance Of the
young man. however, does not always
satisfy those who call upon him. He is
considerably less than seven feet tall
and has nothing of the countenance Of
a Corsican brigand. He has proved
sore disappointment to many novel
reading small boys, who expected to
find him clothed in velvet, bristling
with firearms and studded over with
diamonds as big as Ben Davis apples
a la "Sealskin Sam. the Deadwood
Plunger.
A blase yOungster, fatigued With the
unsatisfying imaginary characters of 5
cent fiction. entered young James
cigar stand the other day with the evil
dent intention of inspecting the "real
thing" He invested 8 cents in chew
ing gum as an excuse for his coming
and then glanced about in search of
the popular hero. Nothing resembling
his ideal was in sight. and he looked
disappointed. Jesse James was behind
the counter. grinning with an under
standing born of many similar Incl
dents.
Say" inquired the boy. "are you
Jesse JamesI"
That's my name, " said Jesse.
The youngster looked him over criti-
cally. No diamonds, no velvet, not a
pistol nor a dagger in sight, no scars
of battle, no trusty rifle with notches
in the stock to indicate the foes that
had fallen before an unerring aim. The |
boys upper lip curled disdainfully and |
"you can't bunko me" expression
came into his eye
