RULE WORKED BOTH WAYS.
And if Anything, the Darky Had the
Best of 1t.

At country fair free for all horse
show was organized. Among the ear
ly entries was a small beast, ridden
by voluble individual, who pulled
from his pocket a long document ana
commenced to entertain the crowd by
reading the pedigree Of his steed. He
was the center of attraction until a
colored man rode in, mounted upon
splendid black-large, glossy and
symmetrical.
Without waiting for an invitation
from the rider the crowd soon gath
cred about the beautiful horse and
Wany questions were asked, which the
4legro modestly answered. Soon the
white man and his aiminutive quad.
ruped were left practically by them
selves, and the rider found himself
watched the new arrival for a short
time, and then rode over.
"N'hal-s IS your horses pedigree?H
he roared.
q, dunno, boss; | reckon he hain't
got none. He's des plain boss"
ooh, we'll, darn horse without q
pedigree!' shouted the disgruntled
white man, and he swung the precious
record of his own animal over his
head, proclaiming what it was and
how long it was. Then he started to
ride away. The negro looked at the
little beast over his shoulder, rolled
his eyes and retorted. Eyes, darn q
boss without a pedigree, is it? Well.

Trials OF Leading Lady.

Miss Minna Blakiston, whose good
nature is unboumed has been meet
ing with some most amusing eXpe-
riences during a special engagement
for three days in Scotland. She was
s'the lead in the production of a new
play by new author, and the ingenue
was an aspiring young lady of great
local popularity. On the last night,
after a dramatic scene with Miss
Blakiston, the ingenue was about to
leave the stage when an enormous
bouquet was handed up to her froH,
the rchestra-cheers, smiles, bows,
exit-and poor Miss Blal1istOn had to
begin an emotional speech with these
words: "HoW welcome Was the in
terruption!" At the beginning of the
third act another local favorite made
his entrance; he orly played butler,
but was given reception by The au-
dience which the greatest tragedian
might have envied, followed by the
gift of a huge cabbage which was
thrown onto the stage-and then Miss
Blakiston was obliged to continue the
agony of highly fearful scene.-

One says "lttle" Miss ILL advised
ly. The young woman is only five
feet one inch in height, wears a No.
8 shoe, and a glove in proportion, or
even smaller, for she has a small
hand.
However, with this height little Miss
Lii, who owns to eighteen winters
last December, has attained degree
of plumpness which will bring the
scales up to $50 pounds.
The English climate has not every
thing to do with this, though she is a
Yorkshire-born woman, for she has
been gaining flesh since she came to

She does not ride a biclcle or play
golf, but she was brought up to cook,
make bread and pies. wash and iron
and do all kinds Of housework
She does not eat fat-producing

can soldier. diplomat and statesman

press Of this country teens with ed
itorial utteranees on the life of Gen.
clay, not one Of which voices an un-
kind sentiment in discussing his valor
ana patriotism. He was one OF the old
school Of southern chiyalry; conspie-
uous figure of the days that were. Per-
haps the best index to his character is
gwen In an editorial in the Boston
Globe. which places the sage of White
Hall next to Abraham Lincoln as being
the most picturesque figure in Ameri-
can History. The Globe says:
In the Metropolitan museum of art
in New York city, there hangs mas
sive painting Of the court of Russia
at the time when he was the represent
ative Of this republic there. The
scene is one Of unusual brillianey. and
portrays the czar in his imperial robes
with feathers flying from his head
gear, while around him are stationed
all the foreign ambassadors attendant
upon his court.
But in this picture Clay and the czar
alone Of all the brilliant group. stand
with their heads covered. The unter-
rified old warrior had been requested
to remove his hat in Difference to being
in the presence of the czar, but this he
refused to do. saying; Il only take off
my hat to those who take off their hats

Clay was a grand old hero despite all
