CHIPS
BY Homer Lee Smith
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson

Among the Cubans who were ready
to receive the munitions OF war as the
steamer was backed in little cove at
midnight after successfully lodging
the Spanish gunboats was the outcast
He was an American and, though in
ragged uniform and having a disrep-
utable look, was evidently much re-
spected by the rebels. He was in
charge of the party unloading she
arms and had the energy of six ordi-
nary men. When the boxes were safe
ly ashore, he said to the five of us who
had volunteered for the Cuban service:
"Now, boys, come ahead. IL you had
known what you were going into, you
wouldn't be here. AS it is, you'll have
to make the best of it. The Cubans
want help, but they won't give an out
slider fair show, and if any of you
happens to be taken prisoner I'll guar
antee that you won't live ten minutes.
There's some little patriotism about it,
enough to make you want to shoot
straight, but the whole thing is fam
lily row, and one can't say enough bad
things about either side. My names
Chips, just Chips, and l came over
here simply to get shot"
Chips was scout, spy and sharp
shooter and had little to do with the
rank and file. He could have given
any Cuban general spades and cards
on how to conduct a campaign. He
was thoroughly disgusted with the
style of fighting and the cruelty prac-
ticed on prisoners, but he offered no
criticisms.
1t was q month before 1 got his story.
We had had two or three skirmishes
with the Spanish and had been amazed
at the reckless manner In which he ex-
posed his life. He was a dead shot
and perfectly Indifferent to the ene-
my's bullets, and honestly believe that
In the year he was with the Cubans
he inflicted at least half the loss suf-
fered by the Spanish. I had heard him
coughing at night In way to make
me wonder If consumption had not
taken a firm hold on him, and
couldn't help but notice how thin he
was and how little appetite he had. 1t
was one day while we were scouting
within a mile of the Spanish lines and
were lying in thicket, with the land
crabs nipping at our clothing and the
mosquitoes lowering about us in
clouds, that he said:
"Yes, there's story behind all this,
but I don't care to, rake it up. You can

Samuel ]. Tilden had a touch Of hu-
NOR, at times Querulous in its tone, and
at other times he could be funny with
out meaning to be. He was an expert
judge of wines, and his cellar was
choicely stocked. When dining out,
however, he had a little way Of meas.

Fellows noted this trait and once
when dining with Mr.. Tilden saw that,
as usual, the Sage of Greystone had
ordered small bottle of an ordinary
brand for his plate and very choice
vintage for himself. Mr.. Tilden was
called away from the table for a mo-

the bottles. When Tilden lifted his
pint to pour out the wine, his eye
quickly noted the difference, but be

Louis TX. was practically the founder
Of modern Jurisprudence. About the
year 1241 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work Of re-
dressing their own wrongs and pub
lished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi. This forbade pri-
vate redress for wrongs for the space
of forty days after the injury was COM
mitted. During that time the injured
person must seek redress and satisfac-
ton in the kings court, and If his
wrong were not righted at the end of
forty days he might then take its rec
tification into his own hands.
This proclamation made justice
speedy and tolerably sure, although, OF
course, it's administration was in II
rough and ready way, and unless the
records are at fault some law Of this
kind prevailed in Louisiana at the time
when Missouri was q part Of the
French kiEg's possessions.

A Bad Drink.

"The foreigners up in the coal re-
gions." says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Record, drink polinsky, and
that's why so many stories of horrible
crimes come from there. Polinsky is
at the bottom of every riot and much
murder. 1t is simply a mixture of beer
and bad whisky, usually blended in a
washtub and seasoned with spices. At
every wedding, christening, wake or
other gathering of social nature there
is always a tub Of polinsky. In one
hour all hands will be drunk, in two
hours there will be free fight, and.
unless the police interfere, in three
hours there will be murder. In the
more thickly populated communities
the police try to break up these polinsky
parties in their incipient stages, but
they don't always succeed"

GREWSOME RELICS.
Pathetic Memorials OF the Ill Fated
City of Pompeii.

City of Pompeii.
In the museum at Pompeii are pre-
served the most horrid anu pathetic
relics of the last days of the Ill fated
city. Early in 1868 the workmen who
were helping to unearth an immense
palace struck into a cavity in the lava,
the nature Of which, of course, was a
mystery. Without breaking further
into it they poured plaster of paris
down the crevices that were already
opened, and as soon as the plaster had
hardened the crust of lava was care
fully removed, and, 10, the form of q
human being in his last struggles was
revealed, The outlines and form Of
the person were perfectly preserved,
showing plainly mat he had been bur-
led in boiling lava, which had hard
ened about him. The intervening 1,S0O
years and the heat of the lava besides
had reduced the body to handful of
dust, but the lava had left a cast nat
ural as life.
Since that time several bodies have
been reproduced, one of them with the
features so perfectly preserved as to
show the expression of the face. In
some of the plaster casts parts of the
skeleton are imbedded. Two female
casts which are clasped in each others
arms have been called 'The Mother
and Daughter" Persons who have
seen this group say that there is moth
ing in all Pompeii more touching than
the utter despair depicted upon the
face of the mother"

FAILS TO BAG BEAR

RIFLE TO THE END.
Last Animal is Chased for Half a

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 19.-President
Rosevelt's bear hunt in Mississippi is
ended and he has not had a shot at a
bear. The last day of the chase was
simply repetition of the three pre-
ceding days SO far as his luck was
concerned. Try as the hunters would,
they could not get bear within range
of the presidents rifle.
The dogs got fresh trail yesterday
morning and the president and Holt
Collier followed it half a dozen miles
to the Big Sunfower river The bear
crossed mile below the ford they
went to and believing it was making
for the canebrake on the other side,
they endeavored to head it off. When
they got into the brake, they were dis.
gusted to find the bear had doubled on
his track and crossed the river still
further down. 1t was then ] O'Clock
and as arrangements had been made
to break camp at 2:30, the president
was compelled to abandon further
pursuit. At $3.50 the special started

PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT.

Different Occasions.

Anarchists Assign Assassins on Three
Different Occasions.
New York, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Lena Box
heimer, who says that until she be-
came member of the First Methodist
church at Hoboken, two years ago, she
was associated with the anarchist So
ciety of that place, and whose mental
balance Is questioned, is reported to
have related to the pastor of her
church a story Of anarchist plotting
against the life of President Roose-
welt. According to Mrs. Boxheimer
there have been in the last fourteen
months three persons assigned to the
task of removing the president. One
of these, F'renchman named Mellow
she persuaded to leave for Paris.
Next, according to Mrs. Boxheimer.
the assassin's task was assigned to a
man named Mueller, living in Avenue
B. this city, who few days later died
of poison self-administered The last
of the three designated for the work,
Mrs. Boxheimer, alleges, was a Mrs.
Schroeder OF Harlem, who also ended
her life by means of poison. Mrs.
Boxheimer asserts that among the
plotters were several miIlionaires.
Her conception of what constitutes a
millionaire is indicated by her state
ment that these men "owned houses"
Mrs. Boxheimer says that recently
she has been under suspicion of her
FORMER anarchist associates and they
have followed her and her husband
from place to place, SO that they have
acquired the protection of detectives

MRS. FISKE AT THE HYPERION.
Mrs Ffsl1e presented at the Hyperion
last night her seasons success in New
York, "The Unwelcome Mrs HATCH
supplemented by the playlet "A Bit of
Old Chelsea" which has been in her
repertory for several years. The house
was well filed with an appreciative au-
dience, which called Mrs Fiske several
times before the curtain.
Mrs Hatch is the assumed name Of
woman who has been uniustly di-
vorced from her husband, Mr. Lormer
Her daughter Gladys has grown up be-
lleving her to be dead. On hearing
that Gladys is to be married Mrs
Hatch crosses the continent to get the
one glimpse of her daughter that her
mother-love Graves. She is unwelcome
to sMr. Lorimer and his second wife,
who fear an unpleasant scene. The
scene occurs, and Gladys eventually
learns who her mother is The promise
of happiness at last for the mother
with her daughter is ended by the trag-
ic death of the mother in the fullness of
her joy, The play at times is heavy
rather than forceful but Mrs. Fiske's
poNCllul lillti ttdllUil anu tflS WOH-
derful music of her voice saves the au-
dience from depression. Miss Annie
Ward Tiffany's representation of Agnes,
an old Irish nurse, furnishes the hu-
NOR of the piece delightfully."-
"A Bit of Old Chelsea" is by it's
length curtain raiser, but it concluded
last nights performance. This was an
agreeable arrangement, well calculated
to send the audience home in a more
lightsome frame oe mind than the
tragedy Mrs. Hatch produced. Mrs
Fiske was here less powerful but far
more pleasurable in portraying the part
of "Saucers," a flower girl, taken In
out Of the cold by an impressionable
young sculptor. The grostesque con-
trast between the girls compromising
position and her absolute innocense was
defined with delicious humor and deli
cacy.
