self in the Sampson Schley contro-
versy. A writer in the North Amer
lean calls attention to the fact that the
battle of Lake Erie, in the war of 1872,
was followed by just such a quarrel,
and it ragged for thirty years Perry
and Elliott, the officers concerned, be-
came permanently estranged, and the
nation became divided into rank parti-
sans of the two men. In the battle
Capt. o. III. Perry of Rhode Island
commanded the fleet from the Law
renee. while Capt. Jesse D.
Elliott of Maryland was sec
ond In command on the
Niagara. The dispute grew out Of the
fact that Perry's report, while giving
Elliott praise for efficient services with
the squadron, was unsatisfactory to
the officers of Elliott's ship. They
claimed that Perry regarded the action
lost when. after his own ship had been
put out of action, he came aboard of
Elliott. Elliott asserted that the bat
tie was not lost, and gave such direc-
tons with respect to the handling of
the ships and the guns that within ten
minutes the enemy struck his colors.
Subsequently there followed charges
and counter charges. and the matter
was finally carried before a court OF
inquiry in 1915. The court made COM
promise finding, according to both Of
ficers high praise But the enmity that
had been aroused between the parti-
sans of the two commanders contin-
ued for many years. And curiousIy
enough there was later a historian in
the case, who, like Maclay, came in for
lot of severe criticism. He was J.
Fenimore Cooper. and the criticisms of
his history of the Battle of Lake Erie
led to several libel suits, one being
against the Commercial Advertiser of

Where He EaiIed.

The other morning a youthful des-
perado appeared at a police court to
answer to a charge of shop breaking,
says Tit-Bits.
He undertook his own defense, and
did it well up to a certain point. Then,
however, came an utter collapse.
II didn't break into the shop, yer
woshup," he told the chairman of the
bench. Il just fell into it," And then,
seeing the establishment this announce
ment created in the court, he went on
to explain:

Identified by a caricature.

Mainly About People" prints story
of M. Waldeck- Rousseau, the French
premier, and a policeman, showing the
latter functionary in holiday humor.
During the mid-Lent festivities, the
premier was proceeding on foot to an
appointment at the Elysee, when he
came across one of the numerous cor
dons which the police had established
on that day to keep a crowd from in
vading the thoroughfare reserved for
the procession.
The premier was stopped. He whis-
pered his name into the ear of the po-
liceman, but that official shook his
head. The premier then demonstrated,
pockets, but it CHANGED that he had no
cards nor any means of identification.
He was getting angry, when a
thought occurred to him. He had
bought, as he walked along, a copy of
the "Libre Parole of that morning,
containing a caricature of himself, and
this he showed to the policeman.
ooh, la la" exclaimed the policeman,
at the first glance. What an ugly
phiz"
Then, examining the picture and it's
original by turns, he said at last, with
just a suspicion of a smile;
Eyes, it's you, all right. Pass on,
monsieur"
And the premier-not the first prom
inent parsonage indebted to a carica-
ture for dentificatioh-passed on, leav-
ing the policeman with the broadcast
smile on his face.

Buffalo Bits Kindness.

In the volume recently published by
Mrs. Wetmore, the sister of Buffalo
Bill describing the life and adventures
of the great scout, is the following
touching story showing his kindness of
heart.
When the Wild West show visited
Boston, some of the little patients at
a children's hospital there were. of
course, unable to leave their beds to see
the procession as it passed the hospital
windows.
One little fellow suffering from spinal
disease was much distressed, and. on
the suggestion of a nurse, wrote to
Buffalo Bill" asking for an Indians
picture, for the Indians of the show
were the chief attraction to the chill
dren.
Next day, as the child was wondering
when the postman would bring a reply
to his letter, the door opened noiseIessly.
and to the establishment of the children
and the nurses a tall Indian, in full
array, with feathers. beads and scarlet
blanket, entered. Following him came
six other splendid red men, who drew
up in line at the word of command
from the leader and went through a
war dance, sham fight and other evo-
buttons.
The delight of the little patients when
they realized that Buffalo Bill" was
furnishing them with a show all to
themselves may easily be imagined.

Mark Twain Fathoms Himself.

Sometimes of sunny afternoon Mark
Twain strolls up and down that part
of Fifth avenue above Twenty-third
street where art and book stores are
frequent, says the New York Times.
The humorist seems to find certain rest
in peering into windows of these,
though he rarely crosses their thresh-
Odds. He was about to turn away
from the window of a shop when his
eye was caught by what seemed to be
an etching of himself. The humorist
was staring blankly at his likeness
when he was joined at the window by
one of those chatty individuals. always
ready for a street corner exchange of
opinion.
Pretty good likeness of the old man.
isn't it?" said the chatterer, without
seeing the writer's full face, which
was partly in shadow.
Mark said it was.
Say what do you think of that fell
lows work anyway" went on the
chatterer.
Il think" said Mark, still without
turning his head, that he is the
greatest impostor the American peo-
pie ever refused to take seriously"
How SOP"
well, because he really is serious
and because nobody'll believe him; he
passes for being humorous" With
that Mr.. Clemens faced his questioner.
We'll I'll be switched" calculated
the chatterer.
The face of the humorist became
deeply concerned. For heavens sake,
don't tell anyone told you. 1t would
ruin me with my publishers" he said,
starting uD the avenue.
But the chatterer went home and told
his friends.
