Artemus Ward.

There was something very fasci-
mating in his presence. Never was
a man more misunderstood. He
had not one trace of coarseness or
real awkwardness. Though far from
handsome, he had a fine, 1.-the fig
ure, with smooth, light hair, teeth
white and delicate and the most
beautiful hands. His voice was pc
culiarly soft, and his whole demean-
or was that Of we'll bred, sensitive
and modest gentleman. Even his
most intimate friends could hardly
understand why nothing of the
clown ever cropped out in facial or
bodily contortion when he was say
ing his odd things, but surely it new
er did, and his perfect poise and
gravity on these occasions no one
who knew him can ever forget. Ar
temus Ward had no trace of local
coloring or local prejudice, nor was
his speech marked by single pro-
vincialism. He was a cosmopolitan
gentleman.-Putnam's Monthly.

FELL INTO MILLIONS.
The Slip by Which a Rich Gold Mine
Was Discovered.

One of the most productive mines
in California was discovered through
an accidental fall Of the discoverer.
lie was one of a hunting party that
had gone out from San Francisco
during the Christmas holidays.
While passing along the side OF a
steep hill on a narrow trail his horse
suddenly slipped and with his rider
went down into the gulch.
Happening to be the last in the
line and some distance behind the
others. he was not missed for some
moments. but when his absence was
noticed the party turned back TO
look for him, fearing some unto
ward accident. He was nowhere TO
be seen, but the place where his
horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank. together with the traces
Of the fall, was plainly visible. Fol-
lowing the tracks made by the fall
ing horse and man. and when near
the bottom. the men suddenlv came
upon an interesting spectacle. just
behind a clump of bushes which the
man and his steed had crashed
through on their way down stood
the horse, apparently uninjured
while near by, on a slab of rock
projecting from the snow, the man
was capering like an Indian at a
ghost dance.
The first impression of the rescu-
ing party was that the man had gone
suddenly crazy, but as he caught
sight Of them he suddenly ceased
his gyrations and shouted for them
TO approach. They came, when he
showed them several Jumps of al
most pure gold he had hastily
Knocked from the edge with a stone
for a hammer and announced his
discovery of a gold mine. The slid
ing horse had brought up against
the ledge, and the FESTIVE animal,
kicking vigorously in the efforts to
rise, had struck off the moss from
the stone and disclosed the fact that
it was a gold bearing ledge of un-
usual richness. The find was ap-
propriately named The Christmas
Gift" and valuable gift it proved
to be.

Got the Best Of Bismarck.

When Bull Run" Russell was
with the Germsn army in 1870 he
reported a long interview with the
crown prince (Frederick), some ex-
pressions in which gave umbrage to
Bismarck. Bismarck sent for him,
lost his temper and said, Il suppose
you couldn't resist showing your inn
portance By reporting all that that
'dunderhead' confded to you 2" Rus

Why the Tenor Was Fined.

The late Judge ("Biff') Hall Of
Chicago took great delight in tell
ing the following story Of "Punch"
Wheeler:
Wheeler, at that time the advance
agent Of a minstrel company, had
returned TO New York before the
close Of the theatrical season, and a
friend, meeting him on Broadway,
asked him how he had found busi-
ness.
Every bad" said punch" $50
bad that the only way we could pay
the members Of the troupe was to
fine them. 1t worked splendidly,
too, and by the time We reached
Texas the manager had squared ur
with the whole company excepting
the first tenor, who was such a prop
er chap that there was no chance to
find fault with his actions. At Gal
weston Mr.. Tenor sang for his solo
The Lighthouse by the Sea- and for
an encore responded with Over the
Hills to the Poorhouse.' That gave
the boss the opportunity he was
looking for, and he levied on the
songster's salary for tie entire
amount--frst, for telling the BUSH
ness we were playing u, and, sec
ond, for giving away tn route Of
the show."-Judge.

Beauty EverY~here.

The remotest corner OF the globe
is full Of wonder and beauty. The
LATEST bank in the world, away from
towns, where no artists do congre-
gate, upon which no farm laps,
where no vines hang their cooling
clusters, nor flowers spring, nor
grass invites the browsing herd, is
yet spotted and patched with moss
Of such exquisite beauty that the
painter, who in all his life should
produce one such thing, would be
a master in art, an immortal in
fame, and it has the hair Of 10000
reeds combcd over its brow, and its
shining sand and insect tribes might
win the students lifetime. Gods
least thought is more prolific than
mans greatest abundance.-Henry
Ward Beecher.

INSECT WISDOM.
The Wonderful Ratioeinary Power %
the Busy Bees.

1t would be easy without appeal
ing TO any prehistoric event 20 bring
together large number of facts
tina would show that the faculty of
adaptation and intelligent progress
is not reserved exclusively for the
human race.
Transported to Australia or Cali
fornia, our black bee completely al
tiers her habits. After one or two
years, finding that summer is per-
petual and flowers forever abundant,
She will live from day TO dav. con-
tent to gather the honey and pollen
indispensable for the DAYS consump-
ton. and. her recent and thoughtful
observation triumphing over hered-
itary experience, she will cease to
make provision for her winter.
Buchner mentions an analogous
fact, which also proves the bees
adaptation TO circumstances. not
slow, secular. unconscious and fatal,
but immediate and inte' igent. In
Barbados the bees whose hives are
in the midst of the refineries, where
they find sugar in plenty during the
whole year, will entirely abandon
their visits to he flowers.
Let us lastly recall the amusing
contradiction which the bees CAV,
to two learned English entomolo-
gists, Kirby aNl Spence.
"Show rs said these, "a single
case in which. under stress of cir
cumstances. the bees have had the
idea of substituting clay or morta-
for wax and propolis, and we will
admit their reasoning faculties"
Hardly had they expressed this
somewhat arbitrary wish when an
other naturalist, Andrew knight.
having coated the bark Of certain
trees with a sort Of cement made Of
wax and turpentine. observed that
his bees entirely ceased to gather
propolis and used only this new and
unknown substance, which they
found prepared for them in abun-
dance in the neighborhood of their
home. Moreover, in the practice Of
agriculture, when pollen is scarce,
the beekeeper has but to place at
their disposal few pinches Of -four
for them to understand at once that
this can serve the same purpose and
be turned to the same use as the
dust Of the anthers, although its
taste. smell and color are absolutely
different.-Maurice Maeterlinck in
Harper's.

from Jesse L. Woods, manager of the

stating that it is the intention Of
Unique" Fisher, who is the king Of
baseball and manager of the Pacific
Coast team, and himself, to organize
a baseball club composed Of National.
American and Pacific Coast League
players, which VIII be an aI-star club
and composed of the very best talent
in the United States.
It is their intention to tour Hawaii,
Japan, Manila and China He asks
Dad" Sebree TO correspond with him
in regard to the Manila end of the
trip and to let him know just what
could be done here in regard to such
a proposition. In closing, he states:
"Of course such an undertaking
would be an expensive one but from

think something could be done. It
would be a grand entertainment for the
Manila people as we'll as a great boost
to the game in that country. I have
just had Coast team Of stars visit
Hawaii and it proved a success in en-
cry aspect"
Dad Sebree has replied requesting
information as to the time Of year
they could come over and has forward
ed q rough outline Of what the ex-
penses might be in this city, and stat
ed that Manila would meet any rea-
sonable expense in order TO see some
good fast baseball by professional
players.
This aggregation Of players without
doubt. would be one of the fastest that
has been witnessed anywhere and
would include such stars as the fam
Gus twirler Barney" Joy, the idol Of

WRESTLERS To
SIGN ARTICLES
Fr0eleGher and Unknown Ian
Will Come to Terms This
Afternoon.

Hans FroeIeeher and the unknown
japanese viii sign articles for a wrest-
ling match at p. N. today at the
Fashion. Preliminaries were talked
over at meeting yesterday afternoon
and the way seems TO be cleared for
the match.
AT yesterday meeting there were
present w Vida, the japanese hacker
of the unknown, Eddie TAFT, Hans Froe-
lecher and members of the press.
TAFT broke the ice ~ stating that
Froelecher wanted TO wrestle on a
basis of winner take all. He was will
ing to promote the show on basis of
so per cent of the gross receipts, and
would be willing to post a reasonable
forfeit.
Vida said that the question of pro-
motion was one which had to be con-
si1ered. He might feel like doing
something in that line himself
TAFT said that it was immaterial 20
him who ran the show There would
be heavy expenses and wrestling was

gested that the best bidder do the
promoting, and that he be required to
put up guarantee.
Vida thought that the affair might
be very nicely promoted by himself
and TAFT but the latter didn't see
things in that light. He wanted the
thing placed in the hands of one man
and WASH t particular who the man
was, so long as he knew his business.
s'Your offer of 50 per cent is alto
gether too low, )" said Vida; eve won t
entertain 1t. -
:" How much more than so per cent
viii you give for the privilege of man
aging the affair7' asked TAFT.
Vida replied that he would consider
the matter and give his answer today.
Details of the match were then dis
cussed and an amicable understanding
arrived at on every vital point.
The men viii wrestle for the pro-
moter making the best offer on April l,
winner take ALL The bout viii be
catch-as- catch-can, and will be govern
ed by the laws Of the international
Wrestling Association.
The weights viii be catch and q
referee agreeable to both parties viii
be selected. The names of ". Wilder,
sam johnson and VIII Prestidge have
been mentioned in this connection.
A forfeit of $50 will be posted by
each man today to ensure his fulfilling
his contrat.
1t is probable that either Joe Cohen
Or Jack Scully viii handle the business
end of the match.
Froelecher goes TO Wailuku tonight

wrestling on Maui and Bob Lindsay
writes that there are at least three
mat artists on that island who would
like 10 have a chance at Froeleeher.
