FICTION STICKS TO THE TRUTH.

Cold Fact 10 the Only Thing that Deals
with lmprobabilities.
Professor R. G. Moulton Of the En-
glish department at the University Of
Chicago has a way of enlivening his
trations.
p"SOmetimes We hear as an objection
to the plot Of q first-class novel that II
Is utterly improbable" said the profes-
sor few days ago. Now the fact Is
that the only thing which Is true is fic-
ton. There is nothing so false as what
we call the truth. Facts always give
some loopholc Of escape. For instance,
there was a man that you ought to
know about, who wished very much to
commit suicide. Shocking? Yes, to be
sure, but the man was not troubled
with a conscience. The only thing that
worried him was the fear that he
should make failure Of his attempt to
kill himself. L know myself 30 well
that 1 feel sure the thing would be .
iasco,' he always declared. For thirty
years this conviction was the only OBJ
stacle that stood between that man and
icath.
FINALLY he mustered up the courage
one day to try to commit suicide. He
went over all the details carefully and
took every precaution against failure.
He went to the edge Of a cliff over
the sea near his home. With
him he carried revolver, a bottle Of
poison. a rope. and a box of matches.
lie tied one end Of the robe around his
neck and fastened the other end to a
rec near by. Then he swallowed the
poison. set fire to his clothes, fired the
pistol at his head and jumped OF the
.IiY."
Professor Moulton ended his story
lere and blandly proceeded to bow
himself out Of his class room.
But. professor, was the man killed."

Why They Wore Armor.

To such a pitch Of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men Of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan Of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor In order to fight
in 1t Is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half a hundredweight Of met
al. Armor was worn solely In order
to avoid the worry Of shirts with misc
ing buttons.
There were distinct advantages con-
Dected with the chain-steel shirts.
When one Of these garments came
home on Saturday night from the wash
erwoman the owner could feel reason
ably certain that the metallic clasps al
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use Of a cold chisel.
If 1t did SO happen that the washer
wOman's husband had been run over
by a steam roller while wearing q steel
shirt belonging to one Of his wife's Gus
toners, and one Of the metallic fasten-
ings had thereby been injured. the Gus
toner in question could not accuse his
wife Of negligence. and demand to
know why she failed to keep his shirts
In proper repair.-Pears0n's.

BROKE UP THE LOVE MATCH.

Telltale Spots on q Young Woman's
Ears Indicated the Leprous Taint.
A young man Of Bryn Mawr went to
the south seas for his health two years
ago and returned last week much ben
ehted. He tells a sad story about the
daughter Of q native king whom he met
on one Of the smaller and more remote
Of the Hawaiian Islands. She was q
beautiful girl and it was his greatest
pleasure to be with her, fishing and
bathing, and to sit beside her iu the
council house listening 20 the songs Of
the kings poets. 1t is not unusual for
q white man to marry a Hawaiian, and
the youth from Bryn Mawr, without
prospects, almost penniless and with
health that was always wretched in the
uncertain climate Of his home, thought
sometimes that 1t would be wise and
pleasant to marry the Hawaiian
princess and to i've on her quiet and
beautiful island for the rest Of his days
But suddenly the princess became
sad. heart-broken. She went out no
more. She sat alone and wept day and
night. The young man could find out
from NO one what troubled her, for all
whom he questioned pretended not to
know. One day he met the princess by
chance on the beach alone and he asked
her what had Allied her life with sor-
row. She pointed, with q strange ges-
ture, to tiny brown spot. like q mole,
on the lobe Of each Of her ears and she
ran her finger over her brows, which,
he now saw, were thinning. Then she
ned from the mystified youth and he
never saw her again. A year later on
another island he heard a physician
say that the absence Of eyebrows, to-
gether with the brown spots on the
lobes Of the ears, indicated the begin.

The benefit given by Mr.. B. F. Keith
at his Union Square Theatre, New
York. on Sunday evening, was the
greatest and best managed affair OF the
kind that has ever occurred in vau-
deville theatre. Performances In aid
of the same noble cause, the relief OF
the Galveston sufferers, were given In
other theatres in the Metropolis. but the
best of the others did not do half so
well as Keith's. Roster & Bials made
1892 for the relief fund: one of Miners
theatres realized $3.50. and another $3.50;
the result at the Herald Square Thea
tire was $34S.25, and at Proctor's, the
best of the lot $515. The money taken
in at Keith's and sent to the Galveston
people was $12O1.5O. This extraordf-
nary result was due to several causes;
the great popularity of Mr.. Keith and
the influence Of the Keith name: the
superb bill which was selected out OF
the hundreds who volunteered, and the
splendid assistance given by the news
papers in advertising the affair. The
New York Herald, World, Sun, Times,
Tribune, Press, Evening World, Even
ing Sun, Commercial Advertiser. Eve
ming Post and Mail and Express con-
q large amount OF space in
their advertising columns. besides Civ
ing news space, and the New York
Journal booked the benefit with picto-
rial adjuncts. The list of artists was
