Here Is a Tennyscn anecdote which
we recently found in French literary
paper. and which We believe will be
new to great many of our readers.
The laureate, Of course, was in the
habit of receiving a large number OF
requests for his autograph. AS rule
he did not reply. But one day he was
much impressed by the letter Of the
young daughter OF a country gentle
man, and he sent her not only his au-
tograph, but an original quatrain The
girl was naturally delighted. Her ia
Their, however. did not allow her -
thank the poet, but assumed that re-
sponsibility himself. He sent the fol
lowing letter:
Dear Sir have shown your
verses to the schoomaster. He finds
that the tails of the g's and the upper
part OF the his are very irregular, and
that you also forget to cross your
is Aside from that. I thank you for
your effort. The Bookman.

THE sULTAN'S CROWN.

Every event concerns the profess
sion. The connection between the
variety showmen and the deposition
of Abdul Hamid, the cruel Turk. is
not obvious, but the Stage points
out that it cost a French clown his
position. Years ago the Frenchman
exhibited a trained cat. The sultaT
liked the show, had the Frenchman
arrested and imprisoned in the 1il-
dz kiosk and paid him $4,000 a
wear to train animals for the amuse-
ment of the ladies of the harem
The sultan is now prisoner. sub
iected to the third degree, the ha-
rem women are scattered to the
winds and the Frenchman and his
cat find themselves out Of date in
the modern variety halls.
