DisraelI md His Enfher.

Lord Duffern used to tell the follow
ing story about his mother and Dis
raeli:
My mother was among the first of
Disraelfs acquaintances TO recognize
his great ability, and she saw a great
deal of him when at Mrs. Norton's.
when he was young man about town.
She did not see very much of him
after he had once entered upon his DO
litical career. Here, however. is Il lit
tie anecdote which is very characteris-
tic and amusing. My mother had a
great admiration for the "Curiosities of
Literature" and was anxious to make
the acquaintance of Disraeli'S father.
but there was difficulty about this. as
at the moment he was not on good
terms with his father.
However, he appeared one day with
his father in tow As soon as they
were both seated Disrueli turned
around and, looking at his father as if
he were piece Of orn9Heutal china,
said to my mother: Madam. l have

Looking One In the Eyes,

There is venerable specimen of
proverbial philosophy which says that
the man who cannot look you in the
face is dishonest. No other saying has
received greater currency. 1t strikes
the popular mind with automatic force,
and yet it is not reliable test of char
acter. Every confidence man who sue
ceeds in his calling has the steady gaze
of the immaculate person. No person
who is skilled in the fine art of decep-
tion fails to take an obvious precaution
to impress his dupes. On the other
hand, many persons Of unquestionable
integrity are put out of countenance"
by mere shyness. So morbidly was this
trait developed in the case of Haw-
thorne, In his earlier years at least, that
he would go out of his way to avoid
meeting those who desired. to converse
with him. 1t would be impossible for
such a man to cash a forged check, to
borrow money from bank ON bogus
collateral.
The great rascafs can face the world
without shrinking.-NewY York World.

Any Name Satisfied Him.

The average office boy who enters the
employ of daily newspaper is prompt
ly christened with name. The name
is usually the first one that pops into
the head of the first man who sees him.
A short time ago a scarlet haired
youngster went to work in a local
newspaper Office Brick" was the
first nickname that the little fellow re-
ceived. Another employee of the paper
thought just plain Red" would be bet
ter. Rusty" came into use later and
then "Scarlet" A new man on the
force thought "vermilion" would be a
good name, but this fell into disuse on
account of its length. "Pinkey" came
into use later, and then the discovery
was made that the youth carried mid
die name. which was Michael. Mike"
and Mickey" then came into use, as
did "Speck." in Difference to the boys

thought "Sorrel" proper name for the
boy, and later he was dubbed SANDY"

A COnsiderate Judge.

A Kentucky congressman tells Of a
considerate judge in his state who
passed sentence on a man convicted of
murder The judge said:
"Mr. Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty of murder and the law says you
are to be hanged. 1t is my wish that
you and all your friends on the river
know that it is not l who condemns
you. 1t is the jury and the law, Mr..
Dodson. At what time, sir, would you
like to be hanged?"
The prisoner made answer that it
was matter of Indifference to him
and that he was prepared to be swung
off at any time. The judge continued:
"Mr. Dodson, it is a serious matter
10 be hanged. 1t can't happen to a man
but once in life unless the rope should
break before the neck Is broken, and
you had better take all the time you
can. But since it makes no difference
to you you may hang four weeks from
today at II noon, but you may have a

hurried to the mining town, slipping in
at night and comforting with some of
his friends. The next day these men
had done little quiet investigating for
him while he remained in one Of their
homes. That night, In spite Of their
warnings and expostulatlons, he had
started back, his face stern and his
eyes full Of angry determination. But
when he saw the posse and threw up
his hands in token of surrender, with
paper held conspicuously in one hand,
a bullet from Steve's rifle found lodg
ment in his ankle, almost bringing him
to the ground.
After that he skulked and lodged
and climbed for hours, using piece of
broken limb in place of the ankle that
was almost useless, suffering agony at
every step and with only the hope Of
reaching his cabin and making the last
stand as retaliatory as possible.
Now as he crossed into the small val
ley he tried to keep within the screen
of foliage as much as he could. Luisita
lived in the cabin nearest with her
Mexican father. She must know and
grieve, of course, but he would spare
her as long as possible.
However, as he was pushing his way
through the underground nearly oppo-
site the cabin he came upon her sud
denly, carrying her rifle. At sight of
him her face flushed, then paled.
"Senor Selsr' she cried. "Oh, why Rre
you here? They are down in the valley.
1 saw them not an hour ago from the
cliff. They will kill you. Hurry! Hur-
ry! You should not have tried to see
me now"
II did not" striving to keep his voice
steady. 'I tried to avoid you, Luisita.
l wanted to spare you all l could. But
this is the only way to my cabin,
and
"You are hurt" sharply.
Just a trifle. But listen, Luisita.
Whatever the charges against me. l

But yesterday l was in the town and

tulated.

But it will help me to even up the

periously.

her eyes flashing. you shall be saved
and Senior Steve punished. And yet /

For plenty Of reasons, Luisita. You
promised to marry me after refusing
him, and then, only txo hours. before
