When Buchanan Was Kfnc.

George Buchanan was scholar, his
torian, controversialist and the best
Latin poet of his age Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James /. of
England. One day he caused himself
to be made king Of Scotland, and this
was the way of it: Having observed in
James a tendency to too ready acQui-
escence, he drew up paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did SO at
once without having read it. The doc
ument happened to be transfer Of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got it
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man a lu-
natic until the instrument was pro-
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to- illus
trate the days lesson on the RESPONSE
bil1ties Of monarchs. -

The Life Line ON the Foot.

Starting from the base Of the big toe
there is distinct line. That Is the life
line. In one foot it will curve along
until it terminates under the instep Tar
toward the lower base OF the little toe.
This means long life. II broken In the
hollow Of the foot It denotes sickness
at middle age, and II It terminates in
the hollow of the foot 1t means a short
life. This line Is the most interesting
one on the foot. The experiments that
have been conducted have proved this
to be an almost unfailing reading OF
longevity.

The Streets OF Peru.

The streets of Peru, especially on
gala days or when they wear the spe-
cial dress of some celebration, are said
to be among the most picturesque In
the world. In their narrow proportions
they resemble somewhat the streets Of
China, and the variety and contrast Of
the colors used In decoration may be
compared with the Chinese. There is.
however, q distinct Latin character to
the decoration, which lends them an
atmosphere entirely their own.

1T had been bad Saturday fo,.
Billy Allenwood. Somebody hadn't
come downtown that day. Some.
body else, a bookkeeping creature
for the other. had no authority to ad-
vance money on uncompleted serial
stories. Billy made the rounds, but
there was no money anywhere, and
when he vent to take Dorothy Vincent
to dinner he had only IS In his pocket.
Dorothy was an orphan and an heir
ess. She received a check on the first
Of every month, but. though there are
few characters SO. strong as not to be
affected by security and regularity Of
income, Dorothy remained good bo
hemian and as reckless with money as
you could wish your dearest friend to
be. She reyeled In rich and dainty
fabrics, which she transformed by her
own art and labor into the most be-
witching garments. On this particular
evening she wore a tenderly exquisite
creation in a gray tone, and carried a
little gray purse which contained her
all, the sum of IS cents. This purse
was intrusted to Billy's care.
A strange subject of discussion oc-
cupied them at dinner and on the way
to Dorothy's house. Billy had an op-
portunity to join with two other men
In starting q magazine. of which he
was to be editor, but they stipulated
that he should contribute 1880 to the
capital. Impossibility is not defined In
any dictionary SO adequately as by that
statement. Billy could not have raised
1000 cranberries at q dollar a bushel,
but Dorothy could raise dollars, and
she insisted that she should be per.
mitted to disturb her meager patrl'
mony to. the extent required aud be-
come partner In the enterprise. She
would lend the money to Billy and GO
shares with him. TO him, however, her
little fortune was the only redeeming
feature OF a world otherwise Ill ordered
beyond the power of language to de.
scribe. He knew what miseries she
thus escaped-few men knew better
than Billy-and he would sooner have
disturbed the law OF gravitation which

AT THE GRAND
LAST NIGHT

A sensation was sprung last night
at the New Grand Just as the conf
mencing of the wrestling bout be-
tween Hon Butler, of Wheeling,
and Jack Daley of Pittsburg. Be
fore the match began the manager
announced that Butler would give
$25 to any one he failed to throw IN
fifteen minutes. No sooner was
the announcement made than tall
young man in the rear of the dark
ened auditorium arose and eXclaim-
ed -melo-dramatically: sT accept that
offer" The lengthy young man
proved to be an unknown named
Charley johnson, OF New Castle,
Pa. The general impression is that
johnson is a dark horse and that
Butler will have his hands full in
a bout with him. The match was
made for tonight during the per-
Torrance at the Grand.
In addition to the wrestling bout
an excellent vaudeville bill is being
presented twice daily. The opening
matinee was largely attended by
ladies and children and they seemed
to be highly pleased with the enter
tainment.
The program consists of Lewis &
Harr in black face comedy, james
A. and Cecilia WeIch in Flanigan's
Irritation, Alet, comedy iuggler,
Rees Leroy, musical artist, includ-
ing his famous one string fiddle,
Master Mike Cohen, illustrated

CANS WINS
BLOODY FIGHT

Last night at Goldfeld, New,
Battling Nelson lost the light
weight championship to Joe Cans in
one of the longest fights ever seen
in many years. Cans received the
decision on a foul. For forty-two
rounds the men bled like hogs and
battered each other numerically. In
the last round Nelson hit Cans sew
eral times under the belt apparently
reaching for a vital spot. AT last
he drew back his right arm and hit
Cans vicious blow square in the
groin. The colored lad sank to his
knees and rolled on his back.
Referee Siler without hesitation
awarded the decision to Cans. Cans
claims that Nelson purposely fouled.
Nelson claims that Cans was tired
and quit. Cans endurance was a
surprise to many when it became
known that he broke his hand in the
round. Never after
that did he use his right arm only
in short iolts.
