WHISTLER AT WEST POINT

1t is stated in Mr.. and Mrs. PennelTs s
recent Life of James McNeill Whist
ler," in that part which relates to his
brief West Point career, that the great
American painter was not "soldierly in
appearance, bearing or habit" But II
he did not reach the required military
standard he was always able to jest
away all criticism. Several stories bear
upon the record of his failure. In one
case he was under examination in his
tory.
What" said his examiner. "You do
not know the date of the battle of
Buena Vista? Suppose you were to go
out to dinner and the company began
to talk of the Mexican war, and you, a
West Point man, were asked the date
of the battle, what would you do?"
"Do?" said Whistler. "Why, l should
refuse to associate with people who
could talk of such things at dinner"
He was called up for examination in
chemistry, and given silicon to dis
cuss. When requested to recite he be-
gan:
"I am requested to discuss the sub
ject of silicon. Silicon is gas"
"That will do. Mr. Whistler" was the
comment which ended his West Point
career.
"If silicon had been a gas" said
Whistler. after he had become famous.

IN A ROBBERS CAVE

There is a Rhineland legend of three
German robbers who, having acquired
by various atrocities what amounted
to a very valuable booty, agreed to
divide the spoil and to retire from so
dangerous a vocation. When the day
appointed for this purpose arrived one
of them was dispatched to neighbor-
ing town to purchase provisions for
their last carousal. The other two Sc
cretly agreed to murder him on his re-
turn, that they might divide his share
of the plunder between them. They
did so. But the murdered man was
closer calculator even than his as
sassins, for he had previously poisoned
a part of the provisions, that he
might appropriate to himself the whole
of the spoil. This precious triumvirato
were found dead together.-London

head. On such occasions Major Sack
EFT, then in command, would call out:
"Mr. Whistler, aren't you a little

BLOCKS THE PLAN
FOR CITY MARKET
Owner of Proposed Site Under

to Deliver the Deed.

house and city market. as well as the
proposed city stables in the block between
Third and Fourth South and State street
and Second East street. The PROPOSE
ton was knocked on the head yesterday
by the absolute refusal of William ].

property, to give a deed to the city
The option was taken some time ago,
and the council appropriated 49, 600 for the
purchase of the property for the purpose
of building city stables Later. when
Mayor Bransford found there would De
ground enough, he advocated the estab-
lishment of a city market there, d prop
ositIon which met with general favor.
The scheme hung fire for time on &C
count OF the non-deliVery OF the deed.
1t was understood that more money, some
SO 600, had been offered for the ground,
but il was thought that the city was
protected by the option. Donellsn has
now come out with a flat-footed refusal
to sell to the city at the price, setting up
the usual claim in cases where options
are unpastable, that his wife had re-
fused TO sign the deed.
The council will now take M the dues-

in price of the land at the time of the
option and the amount to which y has
