A Story OF Dumas.

One day Alexandra Dumas visited
MarseIlles and made trip 10 the
Chateau d'If 10 visit the palace he had
helped TO make famous. The guide
showed him everything; also the sub
terranean passage by which Edmond
Dantes and Able Faria used 10 visit
each other. This passage was dug
by Able Faria by the aid Of dsh
bone" the guide explained. M. Du-
mas tells about II In his story Of
Monte Cristo."
"Indeedr' replied the author. "Alex.
andre Dumas must be familiar with
all the surroundings here. Perhaps
you know himy
II should think so, He Is one OF my
best friends"
"And you are one Of his.- replied the
impuisive scribe. letting louis dot

He Was Slow.


Lincoln used 10 be fond of telling a
story Of lawyer who desired the NOM
nation for county judge. On the
morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was to
meet he applied to the livery stable
keeper In his village for a horse and
buggy I'm which TO drive TO the county
town. sixteen miles distant. where the
convention was TO be held. Give me
the best and the fastest horse you
have, SAM" said he. $50 that ! will
have time to so around and see the
boys before the convention comes in"
The liveryman. however, was sup.
porting n rival candidate and gave the
lawyer a horse which outwardly ap-
peared perfect. but which broke down
entirely before half the Journey was
completed. so that when the candi-
date arrived the convention had ad-
tourned and his rival had been nomi
mated.
On his return TO the stable late the
following afternoon. knowing that Il
was useless TO resent the trick played
upon him. he said 10 the owner: Look
here. Smith. you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect 20 sell him TO an undertaken
for a hcarse horse. don't you? Well.
it's time wasted. know from his
gait that you have spent days train
ing him to pull hearse. but he'll
prove n dead failure. Why. he's so
slow he couldn't get corpse TO the
cemetery In time for the resurrection" :"
