HE WAS MUCH INTERESTED.

Given to ST. Paul's EpistIes,

Philadelphia Times: The late Col
onel Thomas c.. Hood was known
among his more intimate friends dur
ing his later yeau5 by the sobriquet Of
Saint Paula name applied in a spir-
it of genial chatting after he had told
of a nocturnal experience with one of
their number. On his way home about
midnight the colonel's attention was at
tracted by the zig-zagging of q man
half a block ahead. His brisk walk
soon overlook the befuddled wanderer,
whom he recognized as a friend and
neighbor, but the friend neighbor
vas advanced beyond the recognizing
stage. The colonel hooked arms with
him, led him to his doorstep, opened the
door, stood HMM the hallway and, pre-
pairing to pull the bell to summon a
member of the household, was grasped
frantically by the unsteady one and
asked for name, address and means of
future Identification that the kindness
might be remembered in some way. The
colonel, hearing footsteps within and
not wishing to become involved in an
explanation to a possibly indignant
wife, airily replied as he tore himself
away.
"I'm-well, I'm Saint Paul. Good
night, old man."

PENSION THE ARMY MULE?
Not Until His Longevity Is Reduced,
Saws Commissioner Ware.

Washington Post: Colonel John A. Joyce
had a poem, The Army Mule" in last
Sundays Post in which he made a strong
plea for the kicking Kentucky patriot for
a pension, because of a clustered back"
loss of molars' and absence of hair"
and as confidential attorney for the mule,
the colonel forwarded the claim to PEN
sion COMMISSIONS Eugene Ware.
The mule very frankly states his line
age in the following verse:
/ was born in old Kentucky,
Where the grass is always blue,
My father was a jackass
And looked somewhat like you;
And while battered old and wicked.
To the union I've been true.
And the climax verse, the tender appeal
to the commissioner, winds up the poetic
application:
But I'll file n claim for pension
For my blistered back so bare,
Also the loss of molars
And the absence of my hair.
With all my hopes still centered
In the heart of Eugene Ware.
Now, that was a sweet petition on the
part of the mule, but it will be seen by
the following letter from Commissioner
Ware that the gallant colonel and the
mule have been rudely turned down on
account. OF the longevity" and "immor-
tality" Of the Kentucky kicking patriots:
Your kind favor received:
ON mature reflection, l do not believe
that l am in favor of your scheme of pen
sioning the army mule.
1t first looked all right, but when we
consider THAI army mules are immortal
that no one ever saw one that was dead,
that they live forever, you can readily see
what d load would be saddled upon pos
terity for all time to come by giving them
q. pension.
If, however, some way could be devised
for reducing the longevity of the mules,
perhaps the scheme would work. Yours
truly, e. +. Ware.

Halevy, his librettist, once occupied apart

same landing. AS soon as he had finished
an air Bizet would hasten to submit it to
his neighbor, who subjected it to the most
severe criticism. From morning to night

apartments. One night Bizet finished a
dramatic bit In which he battered him.
self he had successfully sketched the
pride of a triumphant toreador after a sue
cessful bull fight. But Halevy listened in
silence and showed but a moderate en-
thusiasm. Bizet, somewhat piqued, asked
the cause of his GOODNESS.
It's good, l admit" said Halevy. I'm
fact, it's TOO good. 1t lacks movement
1t lacks %snap-in short, it's not popular
enough"
Not popular!' shouted the piqued COM
poser. DO you want me to write for the
slums?" He went out IN a huff, but soon
relented, and in an hour returned with
another air. Listen to this said he,
here's my toreador idea written down to
your popular level" 1t was, indeed, the
song of the toreador, and the only one
which on the first night received an en-
core and seemed to move the first night
audience from its torpor.

Not His Job.

New York Press: Blind and nearing
Deaths door Is Georgia Cayvan, who n
Few years age was one OF the most
pupular actresses In America. Miss
Cayvan was quietly taken from Sand
ford hall, n private retreat in Flushing,
on Sunday night, and IT is said she Is
now in an asylum in Massachusetts.
She has become violently insane.
When Miss Cayvan was placed n a
carriage last Sunday afternoon to be
driven away from Sanford hall she
fought the attedants, and her shrieks
alarmed the neighborhood. While she
has become mentally e she has
grown physically stronger, and aside
from the af1iction which has befallen
here eyesight she eve appeared so
robust in her life.
Miss Cayvan some years ago under
went an operation for a tumor, which
Is believed to be the original cause of
her decline. To her burden Of troubles
at that time was added that of being
named as correspondent by Mrs. oliver
Sumner Teall in her action for divorce.
In her afiliction friends rallied to her
support and succeeded in dlsproving
the allegations and causing counsel for
Mrs. Teall to make a public apology in
vindication of the actress.
But the strain was too much for Miss
Cayvan and he@ mind gave way, and
shortly afterward she was dragged
from the theater by her physicians and
sent to a sanltarium. Since then she
declined steadily. 1t was due to the
injustice done Miss Cayvan that a law
guarding against the indiscriminate
naming of correspondents was passed

Lady Mary Has No Such Title.

some amusement out of the way GER
tain of your papers allude to Lady
Curzon, wife Of the viceroy Of India,
who, as a girl, was Mary Letter Of
Chicago" said w. Savage Of Calcutta.
They speak of her as the vicereine,
doubtless thinking to honor their coun-
trywoman by giving her the proper
title. 1t Is a mistake that borders on
the l~udicrous, for Lady Curzon hasn't
such a title. There is no vicereine Of
India, and it is rather surprising that

DECLINES THE CROWN
Smith Hall Says He Is Still Only
-. Jab0ur's Promoter. -.

Smith b. Hall objects to having great
ness thrust upon him. From Portland,
Oregon, he asks T h e J gu n al to
contradict the report circulated at the
scene Of his former triumphs that he had
scaled the heights Of fame by rising from
the humble station Of press agent at one
broad jump to that Of being the whole
thing-that he had in fact, managed to
"unhorse" Jabour as head of the Oriental,
Carnival, Circus and Menagerie company,
which was the big attraction at the Elks'
fair, at Minneapolis last June. Mr.. Hall
gives his word for it that the show has
not gone bump at Frisco.
Instead of unhorsing Jabour,' writes
Smith, II am still with him and expect
to continue with him as promoter and
spiritual advisor" .,
Mr.. Hall admits in the same breath that
the show did get a decidedly chilly re-
ception at the golden gate, where Jabour
was so unfortunate as to get tangled up
with congress Of side show fakirs."
What makes Frisco the most cosmo-
politan city in America, Mr.. Hall has dis
covered. is the inability Of stranded ORR
entails and other nationalities to get
across the mountains and deserts to
eastern civilization. .
