A NEW CANDIDATE
FOR HON0RS.

Al Limerick of Buffalo, who so sue
cessfully handled Jack Munroe, the bur-
ly miner, in the squared circle some
time ago, is the latest aspirant for
championship honors in the heavy
weight class The New York Telegraph
describes meeting between Jeffries
and Limerick as follows:
King Jeffries I, like all truly great
monarchs, tempers his cold dignity at
times with the warmth of condescen-
sion.
If he will not give audience to sub
Jects that are dingy of skin, and keeps
the plebeian Miner out of the suburbs
still he can be approached by others.
'timid youth, not registered in
Pugs' Peerage, craved admission to
The Presence. When his card ran the
gamut of the Lords in Waiting and the
First Front, 1t bore the following mod

There was something so artlessly
artistic in this that the poetic soul Of

the king.
"Nothin as yet, your majesty" re-

He is now engaged in a coming joust

Paris, Nov. 2s.-The taking of testi-

The entire day was given up to the
testimony of Emil Menard, a druggist,
near the scene of the accident, who,
the following day, was called on to
perform the embalming and assisted
the doctors in the partial autopsy. The
tendency of the testimony was to show
that Mr.. Fair was injured more than
his wife, and, therefore, died first.

TIMEG ~

It was in a little wine shOp. up uii-
der the shadow of Telegraph Hill. Inc
noisy crowd of fishermen were sitting
about the tables with their pint pots
of wine before them, laughing, chat-
tering, pounding their tin cups on the
stained boards. One big bearded fel-
low in the corner was engaged in
highly heated argument with his fel-
low over the relative merits of So
cialism and democracy when he was
interrupted by the entrance of a little,
bent old graybeard, bearing a heavy
golden harp on his shoulders One
casual glance in his direction and the
laughter, the vociferations of the
bearded man and the drinking went
on.
The stranger with the harp slipped
timidly over to a dark corner and
there unslung his burden. Placing the
tarnished gold base of the instrument
between his feet, the aged musician
bent caressingly over the strings with
his cheek laid in tenderness against
the dark sounding board. Then his
knotted fingers began to slip over the
chords.
AT first there was the faintest ripple
of harmony and then stronger and
more surely the melody sweIled into
some wild, uncanny Hungarian rhap-
sodie; the wailing of the restless spirits
OF the steppes, heart cries, signs,
breaths of anguish. Then the thrum-
ming almost ceased and drop by drop
there sounded sweet, liquid rain notes
the smiling of a summer shower in
Po Valley. Then a song, far off some
where, sounding echo-like, as of a
spirit voice.
The half raised wine mug was stay
ed midway there in that dingy wine
shop. Men sat with mouth agape,
| forgetting to breathe. The anarchist
with the shock of whiskers was bowed
over on the table in front of him,
moving not. The barkeeper stood with
arms rested on the bar, his hands COW
, ering tightly both of his eyes. And
over there in that shadowy corner
beneath the smoking lamp was the
old musician. head bent in reverence,
| eyes closed, nursing the sounding
| board with his withered cheek.
Still on and on sounded the whirr-
| ing and the organ pealing of that
golden harp; plaintively beseeching
at times, again ringing out with wars s
alarm, then dropping to the Groom of
a lullaby. At last with a shuddering
sigh of anguish the music halted and
| ceased. The bent old man arose with
! out a word, shouIdered the great gold
en- harp and slipped out into the
night.
'Ah, he was maestro once" whis-
/ pered the barkeeper.

4 Good Yarn.


The Russian family of the Tolstois,
to which the great novelist belongs,
owes its rise, according to one of the
pilgrims TO Isnaya Polyana, to a GU
rious episode. The founder of this fam
lily was. in Peter the Greats time, a
simple dcorkeeDer before the apart
ments of the Emperor. One day, as
he was standing at his post, noble
man approached and asked to be ad-
mitted. The doorkeeper, however, re-
fused TO let him in, declaring that the
Emperor had given him positive orders
that no one that afternoon was to be
admitted to his presence.
But" said the noble, Il am the
Prince
still, cannot admit you, sir" said
the doorkeeDer.
Exasperated. the noble struck the
doorkeeper across the face with his
riding whip.
Strike away, your Highness," said
the other, but nevertheless 1 cannot
let you in"
The tumult had been overheard by
the Emperor He now opened the door
and asked what the trouble was. The
noble told him. He listened in silence,
and then he said:
you. Tolstoi, was struck by this gen
tleman for obeying my orders. Here,
take my stick and strike him back"
But, your Majesty, this man is a
common soldier"
''Then 1 make him q captain" said
the Emperor.
But 1 am an officer Of your Maj
esty's household
Il make him a colonel of my Life
Guards"
My rank, as your Majesty knows,
is that of general" protested the no
beman.
Then l make him a general, too and
thus the beating you are to get will
come from a man of your own rank"
The noble now took his punishment
philosophically. AS for the young SOL
der, he was next day commissioned a
general and made a Count. From him
the present family of the Tolstcis is
said to be descended.-Boston Post.
