asked her lover where he obtained the

There is no doubt that Theodosia

anyone in the audience whom he could
not throw in fifteen minutes. Sudden
" there was a hustle in one OF the
stage boxes. and four resolute looking
men stepped upon the stage. followed
by q wrestler with so splendid a hS-
ure that a murmur of admiration went
through the house." according to
London paper. Carkeell. however, was
not very cordial. His manager was
summoned, and the rude intruders ana
their man were hustled into the wings

afraid. to meet their man, The mys-
terious stranger proved to be Mr.
Hakenschmidt a Russian wrestler Of
note Carkeek, in explanation to the
audience. said he knew of the man,
and that he was a very good Graeco-
Roman wrestler. However, as Car
keek stipulates the right to select his
own style of wrestling, he avoided the
strangers style and offered to wrestie
him at the Cornish style. of which Ha-

full tale Of pirates and how they had
caused Theodosia Burr to walk the
plank to fearful death beneath the
waves of the ocean. Again and again
she told the story. | never tired of it.
Repetition made it almost real. Ny
grandmother was the first to hear it.
and she told it to my mother. 1t came
about in this way:
I'm 1850 an old man. who years be-
fore had been a sailor. then an inmate
of the Cass county poorhouse at Cass-
opolis. Mich, in converSlng with
lady. Mrs. Parks. the wife Of a Meth
odist minister, about his past life,
filled with wrong-doing and crime, said
that the act which above all others
caused him the most remorse was the
tipping of the plank on which Mrs.
Alston, the daughter of Aaron Burr.
walked into the ocean.
The tale of the dying sinner was
substantially as follows: 1 was once
a sailor on a pirate vessel. We cap
tMred the ship on which this lady, with
others. was going to New York. When
told she must walk the plank, she
asked for a few moments alone, which
were granted.
g Finally she was informed that her
time had expired, and without hesi-
fancy she came forward, dressed beau
tifully in white, the loveliest woman
had ever seen Calmly she stepped
upon the plank, and with eyes raised
to heaven and hands crossed reverent-
ly over her breast, she walked slowly
and firmly into the ocean. without an
apparent tremor. | had no time to
really tip the plank but watched her,
transfiXed at her marvellous beauty,
amazed at her indescribable fortitude.
Had l refused to perform my alot-
ted work, as l wish with all my heart
l had my death would have been sure
and certain.
That was the pirates story. l be-
lieve it, for it is the testimony of an
almost dying man, the confession of
the most terrible act of his life. And
it seems to me that when an old man,
bemoaning his life, filled to the brim
with sim makes such a confession
without any provocation whatever
other than the unburdenfng of his
soul during his preparation for an
other life-his death came soon after

that shows his skill in coasting. He
rode from New York to Buffalo and
back, 995 miles, in 10 days, to dis
cover how many mile he could avoid
pedaling. By cyclometer register he
coasted 30 miles, or little more than
one-fifth of the distance.

was the result Of a compromise ow-
ing to inability to agree upon any one

had already caused one tremendously
damaging deadlock. The compromise
method of government will be watched
with interest though it be only tempo

to be repeated after the close of the

PinE-Pong in Chicago.

The ping pong craze has taken hold
of Chicago and the game is drawing
it's devotees from all classes. especial
ly the golf and tennis players. Of the
latter Evarts Wrenn is the most con-
spicuous character. Mr.. Wrenn is a
champion at tennis, and yet he admits
that the parlor game has attractions
not surpassed by the older sport, and
that it requires just as much science
and more accuracy. Ping pong is SIM
ply indoor tennis, with the necessary
notifications. 1t can be played on the
dining room table and is the gentlest
sort of exercise, requiring chiefly dex-

Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was a great inventor. His
inventions were all of articles of every
day use. He devised a three-legged
folding stool that is the basis of all
camp stools of that kind to-day. The
stool he had made for his own use was
his constant companion on occasions
of outing The revolving chair was his
invention. He designed a light wa gon.
A copying press was devised by him
and came into general use. He also
invented an instrument for measuring
the distance he walked. A plough and
a hemp cultivator showed that his
thoughts were often on agricultural
matters. His plough received gold
medal in France in 1890. Jefferson
never benefited financially by his in
ventions, but believed they should be
for the use of every one without cost.

sight which arrested his attention was
pretty young woman standing at her

she pleasantly replied. The conversa-

dow they saw a baby carriage which
suggested housekeeping. In less than
an hour from the time he alighted from

That the national game thrives to-

certain individuals to dig its grave is
due in great measure to the able man
ner in which the affairs of one of the
big organizations = the American

dent, Ban Johnson. He has been the
guiding spirit of this sterling associa-
tion since its formation and has shown
himself to be one of the most success
full executives in baseball history. The
American league of to-day is the
strongest baseball organization in the
