Great Historian Placed In Somewhat
Embarrassing Position.
The late John Fiske, the historian,
was a man of enormous stature, and
extremely sensitive about any refer
ence to his unusual size. One DC
casion, when he was visiting a friend
at his home In a beautiful town in
Connecticut, the hostess and her
daughter invited Mr.. Fiske to drive
with them one morning. The road vas
a picturesque one, which winds along
the river at the foot of the mountains.
At one point the hostess suggested
that the party alight and walk a short
distance through the field to g t a par
ticularly attractive view. Arornd this
field was a high fence, with nc open
ing but a narrow stile. The ladies'
passed through and turned to wait
for their guest. For a moment he
contemplated the opening, to squeeze
through was impossible, to climb over
was equally impracticable. Finally
his deep bass voice broke the silence:
Ladies, l think we would better con.
tinue our drive."-Argonaut.

Peculiar Game Of Checkers.

A game of checkers has been played
under very peculiar circumstances be-
tween two Cornish families for the
last forty years and is not finished
yet. Whenever a member of either
house dies the relatives meet at the
deceased's home as soon as the funer-
al rites are over, whereupon the two
eldest members continue the game
until one of the players loses a man.
The positions of the men on the board
are then recorded and the game post
poned until death gives the signal for
r%eopening the tussle. Altogether nine
different players have so far been inn
plicated in the game.
