Tho Time to Break the Rule.

There is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrating
an experience of Mile. Clarion. the
great tragic actress, with pupil of
hers, a girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art, but far too frequent
and too exuberant in her gesticulation.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public in a recitation Mile.
Clarion bound the girls. arms to her
side by a stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms, only to be restrained by the
thread. A dozen times in the course of
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand 1T no
longer, and in the climax of her emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head.
When she came off the stage, she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion
was standing in the wings and apollo
gized for having snapped the thread.
But you did quite rightr said the
teacher. 'That was the time to make
the gesture, not beforer'-Brander Mat
thews in Harper's Magazine.

Great Drawing to a BobtaiI Pair.

Great Drawing to n Bobtail Pair.
1.-The most remarkable draw l ever
saw made at poker was in a Chicago
club one night" said a Chicago man.
There were five of us in little social
game, with limit of $50 and all jack
pots. A friend of mine whom l will
call Jones was dealing. / was first I'M
der the guns and passed, as did also
the two men sitting next. The fifth
man-we will say his name was Brown
opened the pot for So. Jones didn't
have the shadow of thing in his
hands, but he raised Brown SO, in
tending to stand pat and bluff it out.
Brown had three aces, and he came
back at Jones with $40 better.
Now, instead of laying down, as a
wise man should in n case like that,
Jones determined TO see it through. He
knew, of course. that it would be use
less to try to bluff, so he drew three
cards to a king and queen of spades.
Brown had drawn two cards to his
aces and had got Il small pair. As a
bait he led off the betting with So.
Jones hadn't looked at his hand until
Brown bet, and when he picked up his
cards he almost fell dead. He had
drawn an ace, jack and ten of spades,
making a royal fiysh. They raised each
other back and 1orth until one or the
other had all his money in, and when
the hands were shown the game broke
up right there" -Washingto Post.

CRIME OF A BASTARD
Cruel and DeviIish Murder of a
Girl by a Miscreant Who
Loved" Her.
SHOT DOWN IN THE CITY STREET
By an Assassin Who Fired from Am
bush and Then Crawled I'm
der Bed.

Kansas City. March 4.-Bud Taylor,
n base bali player and athlete of some
reputation in local circles, shot 1S-year-
old Ruth Nollard to death on West
Ninth street, near Broadway, Satur-
day afternoon. Taylor, who has a
wife in Quincy, Ills, was in love with
his victim, but his attentions to her
had been rejected because of his being
married. He is 90 years old. His
wife has begun suit for divorce at
Quincy. 1t was a murder of the most
deliberate and -blooded sort. Two
months ago Taylor had attempted to
kill Miss Nollard and was under bond
not to modest her further.
Patience of the NIiscreant.
Two or three days ago Taylor rented
n room in the house at All West Ninth
street. STIMULATING that the room must
have a window opening on Ninth
street. At this. Ninth street second
story window he posted himself to
watch for his victim. Saturday after
noon his patience was rewarded. With
her sister. Louise, Miss Nollard came
east along the south side of West
Ninth street from her home at Oil
Penn street. Taylor drew back the
window curtain from behind which~he
had been peeping and took ed with
rife. He did not fire &c once. as
the sister was on the oIt1r side of the
walk between. him End Miss Nollard.
He waited till they had gone by suf-
ficient distance to take the sister out
of range. Then he fired three shots
II, quick succession. Two of the bull
lets struck Miss Nollard and either
would have been fatal.
Did His Dastardly Work Well.
With sharp cry of terror and pain,
the wounded girl staggered forward a
foot or so and then fell dying. She
lived just long enough for the throng
that ran to her aid TO get her to her
home. Meantime Taylor ran from his
room TO another room close by. Here
he crawled under the bed. A crowd
of men. composed chiefly of street rail-
way employees. collected almost in
stantly and there arose the cry: Lynch
him. Hang the murderer The crowd
surged about the door of All West
Ninth street Policeman dragged the
terrified prisoner into Eli Lilly's whole
sale drug store to await the coming
of achievements and the patrol wag-
on The crowd kept growing and its
shouts became more and more menac-
ing If single man had led the way,
Taylor's life would not have been

The total consumption OF sugar in
the United States last year was 2,2l9,-
S47 tons, based on the average in
crease of GA per cent. during the
last 10 years, the consumption this
year should be 2,36O,5S5 tons. Of
this quantity 100000 tons in round
figures will come from American
sources, say Louisiana being able to
produce $4,000 tons, United States
beet factories 100000, Hawaii, $780,
600 and Porto Rico 10000, all being
free of duty, leaving I,360,585 tons
to come from other sources and on
which duty 10 paid. The average
duty assessed is $36 per ton, or a to
tai of $4S, 9Sl,O6O The price of all
the sugar consumed, however, being
enhanced to the extent of the duty
of $36 per ton or total of SS4,9Sl,
600, it is evident that $36,0OO,00O
additional is paid by the people in
order to provide the Government with
40 millions for revenue of which the
Government is not now in need. IF
the duty is taken off Cuba sugar, the
benefit of IS millions goes TO the peo-
pie.

Death OF General Walker.

The ammo uncement of the death
Sunday, at his residence in Wythe-
vile, Va. Gen. Jages A. Walker. will
be received with sAcere regret by a
very large circle of friends and ad-
mirers, including the Confederate
survivors who served with him in
the Army of Northern Virginia.
Entering the Confederate Army as a
Captain in the famous Stonewall Bri-
gade, General Walker emerged
from the great conflict in command
of division of infantry. Ii is safe
to say that no officer iu that splendid
army excelled HIM in courage, etiici-
eucy aud faithfullness. Indeed, the
history of the Army of Northern Nir-
ginis is the history of General Walk
er's military service, for he partlcl-
pated with credit in nearly every
great battle In which that army was
engaged. He had the entire conf
dence of his superior officers, includ-
ing Generals Lee aud Jackson, and
he was frequently called to lead in
desperate assaults or defences. Gen.
ersl Walker was Virginiau of whom
people of that State had cause to be
proud. He was not only a distin-
guished soldier but had served in the
Legislature and Congress with credit.
