post season series of nine games

keen. This year the teams appear to
be about evenly matched.

The Battle of chaIons.

There have been so many bloody
battles it is perhaps impossible to say
with absolute certainty which of them
all was the bloodiest, but the balance
of the evidence seems to be in favor
of the battle of Chalons, France,
fought A. d. 451 between the Huns,
under Attila, and the Romans, Cloths
and Franks, under the command of
Aetius, the most renowned captain of
his day. At the head of his 100000
Of savages Attila was having every,
thing his own way, and it looked as if
Aryan civilization was destined to fall
before the Tartar despotism, when
suddenly, like the bolt out Of the blue,
Aetius fell upon the barbaric hordes
and Europe was saved. 1t is estimat~
ed that 100000 of the barbarians were
left dead on the field.

A Master Tactician.

'eWhy," expostulated the lady in the
brown dress when the artist who had
painted a portrait of her little daugh-
ter said the price of the picture was
500, ''you charged Mrs. Crawford only
500 for the picture you painted of hel
Lucy"
ct am aware of that fact, my dear
madam" the suave and polite artist
fastened to explain, "but you must
consider the great difference in the
costs of the paints used for the hair
of the two children. The scant, drab
colored hair of the Crawford child re-
quired just a touch of the cheapest
kind of pigment, but the wonderfully
beautiful and luxuriant curls of your
lovely daughter required large guam
tity Of the best paints on the market"
Then the lady in the brown dress
smiled, took out her purse and begged
the artists pardon for having spoken
rudely to him.-Chicago News.

of the pre-Raphaelites in Harper's
Magazine MADDOX Brown had a circu-

all his old patrons to the merits Of
Whistler's etchings and begging them
in the most urgent terms to make pur-
chases because Whistler was in in
digent circumstances. The story is
that upon one occasion MADDOX Brown
going to a tea party at the Whistlers
in Chelsea, was met in the hall by
Mrs. Whistler, who begged him to go
to the poulterer's and purchase pound
of butter The bread was cut. but
there was nothing to put upon it.
There was no money in the house, the
poulterer had cut off his credit, and
Mrs. Whistler said ''she dared not send

Pussy and the BURGLAR.

A good dog has hitherto been con-
sidered the best protection against bur-
glars, but a certain old lady differs
from this view. She believes in cats.
and, her house being broken into not
long ago. she proceeded to put her
theory into practice. and with marvel
ously good results. The midnight hour
had not long struck when she heard
unusual sounds in the hall below. She
slipped out of bed. took her faithful
feline in her arms and walked quietly
on to the landing. She leaned over.
The burglar was on the stairs. Sud
denly in an unlucky moment he struck
a match upon the staircase. The lady
could see the burglar. but the burglar
could not see the lady. She held puss
up and then dropped her upon the bur-
glars head. The cat uttered an un-
earthly screech and then commenced
to scratch for all it was worth. Puss
was certainly the willing worker. The
next instant the man was outside in
the street.-Mancheste Guardian.
