Byles on Bills.

Among the humorous memories con-
nected with English judges is one OF
Justice Byles and his horse. This en-
inent jurist was we'll known in his
profession for his work on Bills" and
as this gave fine opportunity for al
liberation his associates were accus-
toned to bestow the name on the
horse, which was but a sorry steed
"There goes Byles on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying, and as the judge
rode out every afternoon they INDUCED
daily in their little joke But the truth
was that the horse had another name.

and when too curious client inquired
as to the judges whereabouts he was
told by the servant, with clear con-
science, that master was out on Bust.

THE LUNACY OF LOVE.
Bulver Lytto1a's Letters to His Own
"Adored Poodle"


To Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend and the executrix Of Lady Lyt-
ton, had been contided a packet Of 29S
letters, representing the correspond
ence of Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler in the days of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with a preface, stating that she took
this action in order to vindicate the
memory Of her dead friend In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as a vindication it is difficult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con-
tribution to the literature of epistolary
lovemaking. The extravagant absurdi-
ty Of some Of them is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
ed as illustrative of many others. In
the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as "Poodle'' and signs
himself Puppy or "Puppo."
my Adofed Poodle: Many, many
thanks for 90 darling letter. Me is so
happy, me is wagging my tail and put
ting my ears down. Me is to meet 90
tomorrow. O day Of days! I cannot
tell you how very, very happy you
have made me! No, my own love, don't
come before -; but really shall meet
you! Oh, darling Of darlings o
200 love of loves, me is ready to leap
out Of my skin for joy! Adieu. Twen-
ty million kisses.
"And so they dressed my poodle in
white and black? O zoo darling! How
like poodle! And had 90 oo's bootiful
ears curled nicely, and did 90 not look
too pretty, and did not all the puppy
dogs run after 90 and tell 90 what
darling 90 was? All! Me sends 90
100000 kisses to be distributed as
follows: 100000 for 90 bootiful mouth,
250,0O0 to 90 right eye, 100000 to 90

the rest to be equally divided between
90 arms and hands.
"Ten million more kisses, my own
darling, for your letter which is just
arrived. It is read, and now before it
is answered take the following (marks

and his fertility in talk inexhaustible.
He is something of an Irishman, some

who would run away from a fight in
stead of running into it, an Italian
without a sense of beauty and a Jew
who would not risk Is on the chance
of making $500. He is very clever, but
his cleverness does not lead him far on

comes to doing, rather than talking,
he is easily passed by people Of far
inferior ability.-London Standard.

Chickens In the Rain.

On a rainy morning a good deal of
wisdom may be learned from the
chickens. If it is to be soggy, rainy,
drizzly day all day, the chickens will
get out and stand about in the rain
with an utterly Indifferent manner.
They look just as human beings feel,
and they keep it up all day. But if
the rain is to continue but few hours
the chickens will stay under shelter.
They cannot be kept out. They hurry
under cover when disturbed and stay
there till the fair weather comes, which
1t does presently. And then they go
out and enjoy the sunshine. The chick

THE STAGE KISS,

| the Actress.
The stage kiss is important There
| Is nothing which so tests the genius Of
an actor and an actress as the ability
under just such circumstances to pro-
duce the illusion of love. On the stage
it is necessary for them to forget their
own personalities, to smother their
own feelings, one for the other, and in
the place Of the warped though genu-
Inc kiss we see at the railroad station
and the steamship wharf present to

| And this highly artificial product, be-
cause it is art and because it is pro-
duced by art, impresses us as real and
genuine where the actually real and
genuine would have filed us only with
derision and contempt, just as real
tears on the stage would fail to move
US. Indeed, the best stage kisses, the
kisses that are most convincing in the
way of realism, are usually given and
received by actors and actresses whose
feeling for each other in private life is,
to say the least, Indifferent. Frequent
~, if audiences only knew, they watch
lovemaking on the stage between men
and women who are literally at dag
gers points with each other.
1 would not go so far as to say that
such state of feeling always contrib
utes to good stage lovemaking and to
realistic stage kissing, but 1 do know
that it is an automatic truth, recog-
nized by theatrical managers every
where, not to engage playfolk lovers
to enact similar roles in a drama if it
is at all possible to get any one else.-

VANISHED TREASURES.
masterpieces of Art That Are Log.

to the World.
The Venus de Milo,' which has been
IN the Louvre for many years is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece OF
sculpture, though it Is the greatest
treasure of it's kind the world has ever
seen. a great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About 1878 the most important
OF them-the right arm-came to light
in London and was proved by experts
to be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with it and concealed
1t for fear it would be stolen. Unfor-
tunately he died without revealing it's
hiding place, so it is as much lost as
ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
1879 and brought to Europe has mirac-
ulously disappeared. On it is engraved
the whole history Of the Pharaohs, and
it could easily be sold for 100000. In
fact, the French government offered a
reward of $4,000 for it's discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished, probably
forever.
Another treasure which has vanished
IN as strange a way is the Marcella
vase of the Dresden collection This
Is the only piece missing from the ia
nous Dresden Marcella collection, the
| value Of which is said to be SIS OOO
It bears the cross arrows and the lions
head. Not long ago the vase was said
to be in England, but, be that as it
| may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price in
reason for it.
How it is possible that treasure so
large as a painting could be lost sight
of entirely is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. One Of Reyn-
olds' paintings, "Countess of Derby"
which is considered his best portrait,
has disappeared. Not long after it
was painted it disappeared from the
collection Of the Earl Of Derby and
has never been heard of since, though
| it would bring $4,000 to the finder.
There are also two Vandykes and a
Rembrandt missing, for which collect
ors are willing to pay 100000. The
Earl of Crewe would give a large sum
for the return Of a Cupid which some
| vandal cut from the portrait Of the for
mer Countess Of Crewe and her son,
who was painted as the sprite. - St.

The Commoner says that newspaper
in Lake county, Ohio, has made a d.
rect appeal, by means of an open letter,
to the county's representative in the
state legislature, This representative
had announced that he expected to re-
ceive and use railroad pass during his
term of service and the newspaper
pointed out the facts that he would be
expected TO act ms attorney for the
people of the county in the legislature
and that he would be required to vote
on important railroad legislation. IL
asked him TO reject the pass and stand
untrammeled in the discharge of his
duties. Considering the conditions
which have led TO the present national
issue on railroad matters, the people the
country over ought not to ask but to
demand of their representatives in the
state legislatures and in congress that
they accept no obligations from the rail
roads. 1t is impossible to enact the
railroad legislation which the general
interests of the country require unless
our lawmakers are free men. No man
who will refuse to reject pass is fit to
represent the people in Legislative ca
pacity. The time has come when, as
The Commoner well says, free pass in
the hands of a public official is badge
of shame
