eEsukED THE GREAT WRITER.


A writer In Harper's Weekly brings
10 light an interesting anecdote Of
Tennyson which well Illustrates the
singular habits OF the great laureate
I'M his intercourse with his friends.
The poet Was not only brusque and
rough, but he was domineering and
exacting, and most other men. were
afraid of him. But an American
echoolmAster who for many years
maintained great intimacy with him
had no fear In his heart, and sat and
smoked on an equality with the soyer,
eign singer by Farringford hreside
"One evening" says the writer,
when the two were thus together
Tennyson said that he would depart
From his custom and narrate per-
sonal experience; but he had suffered
good deal from repetitions 81 MS
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged 70 AJAX
his friend never to repeat what he
was about to hear. The American
smoked on for few seconds while
trennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: My lord, in my coun
try gentleman would never make
that request of another gentleman.
H-h-m,' said the poet, and looked
put OF eyes that wondered II the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said Then he told the story

MRS. SEYMOUR
 SUES THE CITY Declares That She Has Been Unlawfully Deprived of Property Tut Is Right fully Hers.
ASKS FOR SUM OF $4,000
Iamages-City Ran Street Through Property at Fourteenth and Main Streets and Many Disputes Over Titles Have Resulted.

Mrs. Mary E. Seymour, of this city, today filed suit in the Jeff ferson circuit court against the city of Pine Bluff in which she claims damages to the sum of $4,000 al- leging that the city is unlawfully holding possession of a strip of land at Fourteenth avenue and Main street which she claims to be the owner of. 9
 The property in question has been in dispute for many months. In pre- vious years it was fenced in by Mrs. Seymour and held by her, but in Feb ruary, 1906. the city council, by reso- lution, dispossessed her of the strip of land, removed the fences and esta5- lished a street across same.
 Mrs. Seymour claims that the city had no claim to the property, that if passed into her possession through clear titles since 1866.
 The case will be watched with much interest by other property owners ill that part of the city in view of the fact that the city dispossessed others of similar strips of land when the street was established.
