CorrectaGT in Rhyme.

Thackeray was much pestered by the
autograph hunters Gays Holder In his
"Recollections." He disliked above all
things to write in nm autograph album
and often refused those who asked him
to do 30 sometimes. rather brusquely.
On one oecasion the owner of an al

Thaekeray took her book to his room
in order to look itsover. Written on a

OF Il race Of savage men whose feet
are turned backward and of q race
known as Monocol,I who have only
one leg, but are able to leap with sur,
prising agility. The same people are
also called the SciaDodae, because they
are In the habit of lying on their
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from the sun by

dwell not far from the Troglodytae, to

any rate, the key could not he found,
and the Austrian government offered
a prize of 500 ducats to any one who
could make key that would turn the
bolt in the lock without breaking it.
Many have tried to win the prize,
but nobody has won it. Eventually it
became the practice among the con-
teStants to drive nail in the tree and
the heads Of some Of the nails bear
the initials Of those who drove them.
The practice Of driving nails into the
tree sealed It's fate. The lower part Of
the tree In 4 few years assumed the
appearance Of solid mass Of iron.
One spring the leaves failed to come
out and later summer storm blew
the top away.
The historic stump was cut Off and
placed on pedestal on one Of the
prominent street corners in Vienna.
At the same time the iron band was
cut in two and put around the stump
to hold it in its niche, leaving the pad
lock In Its original position. And
there the old stump stands to this day

lists and the generation Of the resi-

doubt in the past, in some parts
of this country, Irish gentlemen
have kissed Colored women. But
there is one thing which we have
always greatly admired about

are ever ready to rebuke all kinds
of insults which may be at
tempted to be heaped upon them
and to fight to the death for their
