A LITTLE DUKE.
eouns George John Frederick Sack.
Vile, Who Died at Twenty.

Rouns George John Frederick Sack.
Vile, Who Died at Twenty one.
There is no Duke of Dorset now,
Tor the last time that the title de-
eceGded from father to son was
more than hundred years ago, in
1899, when George John Frederick
Sackville found himself, by the
death OF his father, at the age Of
five, fourth Duke of Dorset, being
also Earl Of Dorset, Earl of Mid
dlesex, Baron Buckhurst Of BUCK
hurst and Baron Cranfield Of Gran
field. Rather heavy load for one
small boy to carry, for he was boy
like other boys, even if he came to
dukedom and ranked next to a
prince before ever he had come to a
knowledge OF reading, writing and
arithmetic.
He grew up in the beautiful coun-
ty of Kent, known as the Garden
of England" and we can imagine
him playing with his little sisters,
Mary and Elizabeth, among the
stately beeches of Knolc park-per-
haps, too, playing at hide and seek
in those 365 rooms, which all be-
longed to him. Later he went to
school at Harrow and to college Mt
Oxford. He must have been clever,
for his university gave him the de-
gree of doctor of civil law before he
was twenty years old, and very few
people, and most of those gray hair
ed, can write I'D. G. l.. Oxon" after
their names nowadays. He must
also have been popular, for he was
q lieutenant colonel and the com
mandant Of the militia of Seven
oaks, the nearest town to Knole, at
the same age.
There has been very little re-
corded of his short early life, and
there was, alas, no later life to
chronicle. At the age of twenty
one he was killed by fall from his
horse in the hunting field when on
visit to his mother in Ireland.
The title went to his cousin, who
was the fifth and last Duke of Dor
set.
Thus George join Frederick new
er lived to gain the fame of his great
ancestor, the poet and statesman,
the first Earl Of Dorset.-St. Mich

The Art Show.

An art show is place where art
lists exhibit their nerve and others
their ignorance.
A connoisseur is one who at once
upon entering an art show wonders
why certain pictures were hung on
the line rather than certain painters
on telegraph pole.
An art show is less brilliant than
@ horse show. But there are never
theless many women who find it
easier to talk pictures, clothes and
scandal than horses, clothes and
scandal.
Abroad an art show is called a
saloon, but in America saloons and
art shows have little or nothing in
common.
Polite usage lays down rigid rules
for the conduct of the visitor at an
art show. He is to have his stick
checked at the door, after which he
is to look at the pictures, pronounc-
ing all which remind him of any
thing mere daubs and buying all the
rest.-Life.

knew that he he'd seen John A. Murrell.
He had heard the outlaw described so
often that he could not be mistaken.
Denton knew that the entire gang was
at the tavern and that if he was sus-
pected his life would pay the forfeit.
He determined tc slip away during
the night and return with the posse.
About 8 o'clock at night Denton
picked up his saddle bags and an
nounced his intention Of retiring. A
aegro lit candle and led the way.
When safely inside the room Denton

All rung solid save the fireplace.
This he found was board which
could be removed and admit persons
from the outside.
At once Denton began preparations.
With pair Of quilting frames and his
saddle bags he rigged up dummy fig
ure and placed it in bed. After ex-
amining his pistols he put out the light
and raised the window, and sat down
to await developments.
About midnight he heard slight
noise and the board was pushed to one
side and Q man entered. He ap.
preached the bed. Denton saw the

window and mounting his horse rode

the way to the tavern. When they
arrived the place was deserted, the
outlaws having been warned by the
dummy Denton had placed in his bed.
There was . reward OF $1,000 offered
for any Of the robbers that might be
captured, but the posse could find no
trace of the outlaws. Suddenly, how
ever, on entering deep revine the
officers caught sight OF the fleeing rob-
bers. A running fight ensued and
several on both sides we're wounded.
Denton, Bolder than his compan-

and succeeded in bringing down one
of the robbers. As his companions
caught him up fren. the ground his

the mississippi alluvial region aluug
both banks of the lower Mississippi,
where dve-eights of the population is
negro, the maximum being in Issa-
quena county, Mississippi, with more
than ID negroes to each white person.
Negroes form one-third Of the popa-
latiaa ir sas South b0tli In cities and
10 country districts while in the North
they are about one-fortieth Of city and
one ninetieth OF country distriets., In
the country districts Of the South, ex-
cluding the population Of the 242
cities which had ct least $500 iuhsb.
itants both in 1890 and in 1900, the
negroes increased 1890 to 1900 over 16
per cent; in the 242 Southern cities
as whole they increased 2l.7 per
cent. Their iDcrease in the country
districts was about two thirds as rapid
as that of the whites i'll the same area;
their increase in Southern cities was
nearly fve-sixths as fast as that of
the whites in the same cities.
In the five Southern cities, having
at least 100000 inhabitants in 1900,
the negro population increased 25.e
per cent, 1890 to 1900; the white popu-
lation of the same cities increased
only 20.8 per cent. This is the only
group of Southern cities in which the
rate Of increase Of negro population
exceeded that Of the whites. In the
38 cities Of this class in continental
United States the per cent. of increase
was 38 for negroes and 32.7 for whites.
The largest number of negroes liv-
ing in compact masses are found in
certain urban counties, several of
which lie outside the great cotton
growing States. The four each hay
ing over $4,000 negroes are: District
Of Columbia, coexteneive with Wash
ington; Shelby county, Tenn, contain
ing Memphis; Baltimore city, Md,
and Orleans parish, La, coextensive
with New Orleans.
The general conclusion seems war
ranted that the proportion OF mulat-
toes to total negroes was found by the
enumerators to bo high or low, accord
ing as the proportion Of whites or ne.
groes 10 high or low.
The total number Of negroes report
ed by the Twelfth census was 8,S4O, 7s9.
To this numksr may be added the
3e3, ,742 persons Of pure or mixed ne.
gro blood in Puerto Rico, making a
total Of 9.204, ,531 negroes under Amer.
ican jurisdiction. This includes g.
s3333 1894 negroes of continental United
States, which excludes those Of Puerto
Rico and few in Alaska, Hawaii and
the military and naval service.

A LIGHTHOUSE HELPER.
how the. Appointment Was Made and
Why Il Was Revoked.

Why Il Was Revoked.
Filed among the correspondence
Of the lighthouse board at Wash
lngton are two brief epistles, the
dates of which show that the first
was written about six months be-
fore the second. They look pre-
cisely like any ordinary business
correspondence. They were receiv-
ed in good faith by the board, and
no one, reading them casually.
would suspect what tale Of domes-
tic woe hangs thereby. An in
spector, making his usual rounds,
discovered the facts.
An Irishman named McFadden
had charge of q lighthouse near one
of the lake ports. He was small,
wiry person of about ninety pounds
in weight. His wife more than
made up for anything that he lack
ed in size or muscle, for she was a
brawny, stalwart woman of 200
pounds. She was, moreover, the
possessor of violent temper, and
there were times when the timorous,
undersized lighthouse keeper did
not dare to call his soul his own.
His duties at the lighthouse were
somewhat arduous, so when Mrs.
| McFadden happened to be in a
pleasant frame oi u.ind she some
times helped her rather inefficient
partner with the lamps. She learn
ed one day that her husband was
entitled to an assistant of his own
choosing, and she suggested that
since she did the work she properly
was the person VIII should be ap-
pointed to draw the comfortable
salary. Mr.. McFadden, however,
promptly objected, saying that he
was certain that the board would
never give the position to woman.
Gust send in the application"
she urged, "and tell them you're
wanting it for your relative, J. Nc
Fadden. Sure, they'll never know
whether it's for John or for Jane,
and I can do the work as we'll as
any man."
Mr.. McFadden reluctantly sent
| in the application, and in due time
~. McFadden" was regularly ap-
pointed first assistant at the light
house. The prospect Of the salary
brought JOY to the assistants heart,
and all went well for a time.
After awhile, however, Mrs. Nc
Fadden, always q trying person to
live with, became SO independent
on the strength of her separate in
come that poor McFadden found
life with her entirely insupportable.
Affairs reached climax one day
when the stalwart Jane laid her su-
perior officer across her knee and in
the presence of visitors deliberately
spanked him with the hairbrush.
McFadden Of course was unable
physically to retaliate, but mentally
he proved fully equal to tho occa-
sion. Retiring to the lighthouse
tower, where he was safe from in
trusion, he wrote the following let
ter:
To the Lighthouse Board:
6entIemeh-1 respectfully request that
my assistant, J. McFadden, be removed
for disobedience and insubordination
Faithfully yours.
PATRICK MFADDEN.
AS the lighthouse keeper had
been the i1dge of the fitness of his
own assistant in the hog ng, the
board saw no reason Why ..l~ should
not now be proper judge of in
subordination, so his request was
granted.-Youth's Companion.
