A MINT FOR MENELEK.

Abyssinian Monarch to Make His
Own Coin.
King Menelek Of Abyssinia is getting
along in the world. First he thrashed
the Mahdists. Then he drove the Ital-
lans out Of his kingdom. Then he vel
coined the diplomats Of European ma
tons, playing one against another.
Now he is to have mint, says the
New York World. What an advance
this means may be realized from the
fact that Abyssinia until recently has
been getting along with cubes of rock
salt for cash. A small amount of coin
minted in France has Of late been in
circulation. Now the king will make
his own. Consul Masterson of Alden
reports that he has saved up 11O,23O
pounds of gold for the purpose.
There are 400 tons Of mint machin-

MILES AND THE PRESIDENCY
A Story of the Generals Ambition
Recalled by His Retirement.

Story of the Generals Ambition
/ Recalled by His Retirement.
Apropos Of the retirement of General
! Nelson A Miles from the command of
the United States army, an interview is
recalled which occurred some years
ago, in which the general told story to
illustrate his attitude on the question
of being candidate for the presidency.
/ He was then stationed on a western
frontier, and was approached by the
representative of an eastern paper, who
said:
""They say in the east that you are
aiming for the presidency"
"Do they?" the general replied
"Well, we won't take much time for
an interview on that subject The
thing reminds me of an experience
that scout had in the old days when
we were fighting the Cheyennes in
1875. That scout was a clubfooted
Frenchman, plucky, good fellow too,
He had to make his way from Fort
Keough to cantonment on the Mis-
souri,, and the Cheyennes were after
him. They pushed him like Satan, and
after time his horse gave out, and he
had to hoof it. Well, it was rough,
bad country, and his poor clubfeet
slipped and stumbled and slid so that
his trail must have been something
awful to contemplate. An Indian cur
read marks in the ground as we'll as
you and 1 can read book, but they
had never logged a clubfoot before
He got into the cantonment all right,
and pretty soon the Cheyennes came
along. They pointed to the trail and
asked our people to look at them. We
can't make out which way that fellow
was going said they. Now, that's the
case with these people who busy them
selves about me. They don't know any
thing about me, and they can't find
out"
After a pause General Miles turned
his head and spoke a few words owe
his shoulder. "My only ambition is to
command brave men," said he, "and
I've been doing that for thirty years."

DIxEY AND WHISTLER.

The Actor Recalls Incidents In Con-
nectlon With His "Sitting."
When Henry E. Dixey was in Lon.
don playing "Adonis" ne sat for James
Mcneil Whistler, the American artist
who died a dew days ago, and the two
men became friends. DiXey's recollec.
tons of the eccentric painter are inter
esting at this time, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
"He sent me word one day." said the
actor recently, ''that he would like to
come to my dressing room and watch
me make up my face for the imper-
sonation was giving Of Henry Irving.
He came and stood behind me, watch
ing the process Of the transformation
in the mirror. He acted like delight
ed child all through the operation. With
the addition Of every new line and eff
feet he would utter an exclamation Of
pleasure and then confront me and ex-
anime more closely the counterfeit
countenance. When the task was COM
pleted he pronounced the resemblance
marvellous even at close range.
"He invited me to luncheon the next
day and asked me to permit him to
paint me in my white and blue Co.'S
tune l sent for it, and he stood me
on a pink mat and before a lavender
background Then he discarded the
monocle, put on pair Of big specta-
cles, and, really, the man underwent
complete change of manner the mo-
ment he began to mix his colors. l
never saw inspiration so clearly de-
picted on a face in my life. He talked
half to himself as he worked.
ooh, We'll do something fine this
time he would say. Wait, wait, wait;
hold that pose, please. Oh this will be
all right-you'll see.' When l thought
he had finished my figure at least
made nothing but the outlines. When
expressed my surprise he explained:
'Ah, my boy, 1 don't work as many
others do. l commence at the back
ground and work out to my subject
"After an hours time his cook sum-

ed on. To my surprise the cook, a
healthy. middle aged woman, began
lecturing him in French and actually
took the brush out of his hand and
compelled him to stop. The artist en-
dured this just as child might and
allowed his dominating cook to lead
us to the dining room.
II sat for him several more times,
but l had to leave England before the
picture was finished. received letters
from him telling me Of the progress he
was making, but when 1 last saw him,
two years ago in London, 1 was much
to learn that the portrait

"GIN BUCK" A NEW DRINK.
1t Is Like a Hickey Except That
Ginger Ale Is Used,

1t Is Like a Hickey Except That
Ginger Ale Is Used.
Nearly every summer some new drink
is invented and becomes popular in the
bars over the country, but so far this
season none Of several new decoctions
that were started out as the summers
fad in the drinking line has obtained a
lasting popularity says the Kansas
City Star. In Virginia. the home of the
mint juleD, in effort was made to super
sede this fayorite drink. The new bev-
erage was practically the same as the
mint julep, except that it contained Gu
racoa, a cordial. But the new drink
didn't prove popular. Curacao, howev-
er, is largely used this summer to flavor
drinks.
About the only new drink called for
at the leading hotels in Kansas City is
the ''gin buck" This is quite popular.
It is composed of the Juice Of half
lime, jigger of dry gin. and then the
glass is filed up with ginger ale The
"gin buck" differs from the rickey only
in the use of ginger ale instead of wa
ter.

The Cup Defender.

Our gallant yacht Reliance
Has nobly borne the test:
OF all the Yankee racers
She's speediest and best.
In breezes strong and tickle,
In smooth and choppy seas,
She met her friendly rivals
And vanquished them with ease
She met the old Columbia,
The yacht with twice won fame,
But that once stanch defender
Was never in the game.
The speedy Constitution
Was also left behind
In rushing and in drifting
On seas of every kind.
And now the swift Reliance
Is chosen to defend
The trophy that bold Upton
From us desires to rend
Against the latest Shamrock
Our newest yacht will race,
And both. as we're believing,
Will set lively pace.
We've heard lot of boasting
About the Upton boat;
We know Sir Tom regards her
The fastest yacht afoat,
But just the same the spirits
OF Yanks go soaring up,
And all are sure that Shamrock
VIII fail to lift the cup.
The time is fast approaching
For test of every claim,
And soon the rival racers
Will make their bid for fame.
We on the swift Reliance
Our hopes of triumph pin.
But let there be no favors,
And may the best boat win.
