An Officials Subtle Scheme For Secur-

An Officials Subtle Scheme For Secur-
ing His Prisoners.
One of the funniest stories about
Chinatown is not really Chinese. 1t
was told by British consul at one of
the treaty ports. He arrested nine de-
Iinquent Chinese. intending to turn
them over to the tender mercicS of the
native magistrate next morning Mean
while he gave them into the custody
of Il Chinese policeman. telling him to
lock them up, though there was no Jail
AT the consulate. But the policeman
was equal to the emergency. He sol
EMMY salured saying, II obeyr' and
marched his men off. Soon he return
ed and announced that they were
safely Gagged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. He followed his police
man to the yard There he saw the
nine prisoners dancing round the con
sulate flagstaff, lugubriously chanting
the Chinese equivalent of ring around
a rosy" Whenever the dance showed
signs of tagging the policeman stirred
them up with long pole. They seem
cd at first sight to be holding each
others hands, but. looking closer, the
consul saw that they were handcuffed
together.
Well" said the consul. "if they are
chained in Il ring around the flagstaff
they can certainly not get away. But
why do you make them dance?"
All" answered the Chinese police
man. with infinite cunning. so that
they cannot climb up the pole and get
away"
The consul broke out into a loud
British laugh and tried to explain to
the Chinaman that the nine prisoners
could certainly not all climb up the
pole at once but the Chinaman had
his idea and held to it. SO the dance
went on.-Harper's Weekly.

AWED THE STUDENTS.
Jean Richepin's First Lesson as an In

Jean Richepln's First Lesson as an In
structor In Literature.
At the age of twenty-five Jean Richie
pin. the French poet and dramatic au-
thor. accepted place as instructor in
literature in a school which prepared
students for the military college of
st. Cyr. His employers warned him
that the future army officers took very
little interest in belles-lettres and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepin's first lesson began amid
II storm of whistling and catcalls. But
the young instructors voice doomed
out above the uproar and imperiously
commanded silence. Gentlemen" he
said. 81 am not here because like it.
! am here for my living. Is any one

And, so saying. young Richepin
brought his clinched hand down upon
the desk. and the desk broke in two.
and he and his pupils lived happily
ever afterward. Thus runs the official
legend.-Argonaut.

New York, Nov. 16.-Two thousand

MARL BOROUGH'S NOTE.
A Scrap Of Paper Treasured by the
Great Dukes Heirs.

A Scrap Of Paper Treasured by the
Great Dukes Heirs.
A scrap of paper that carries one
back to the very atmosphere of a
great decisive battle in the worlds
history is among the historical treas
ures Of Blenheim House. On the pa
per are dozen lines scrubbed in pen
Gil. They were written by the Duke
of Marlborough at the close Of the
fierce struggle at Blenheim.
The tumult of battle was rolling
westward. where French and Bava-
rians were in disorderly retreat. with
Marlboroughs cavalry riding tlercely
in their rear. The slopes Of the hill
and the marshy plain were strewn
with 10000 killed and wounded.
But Marlborough. with the excite
ment of the great fight yet strong
within him, pulled up his horse on one
Of the little rustic bridges across the
Schwanbuch and scrubbed these doz-
en- lines to his wife in London to tell
her of the great event.
Apparently the duke borrowed the
ecrap Of paper from some member Of
his staff, for on the back Of it are the
faded items Of tavern bill. He used
the parapet of the bridge for a writing
desk. He had been seventeen hours in
the saddle, most Of that time riding in
the very heart of one of the greatest
battles in all history, yet the letters
are firm in shape. a curious testimony
to that serenely unsuitable tempera-
ment that was Marlborough's most
striking characteristic. - New York

Rolling Cigars.

1t is common to hear men complain
Of poorly made cigars, but it is not
always because cigar is indifferently
or badly made that the wrapper curls
up and comes off. Much oftener this
comes from the cigar having been
rolled by a makers left hand and later
smoked from the hand Of a right
handed man. All cigarmakers must
use both hands equally we'll, and econ
omy both in time and material is the
prevailing rule in tobacco factories.
When piece of tobacco is cut for the
wrapper it is cut on the bias and rolled
from left to right on the filler, and at
the same time and by the other hand
the remaining pieces are used, being
necessarily rolled in the opposite way.
For this reason the man who holds a
cigar in his right hand, which always
gives few twists during the course
Of a smoke, rubs the wrapper the
wrong way, and easily enough it be-
comes loosened.-ChicagoT Tribune.

Beau Brumme's lmpertinence and a
Brewers Tart Retort.
Beau Brunmel, the famous English
fop, was as notorious for his insolence
as for his fine feathers. At the Pa
viliOn, at Brighton, he ordered the foot
man to empty his snuffbox into the
fire because bishop had taken a
pinch unaSked. \ man whom he had
met at dinner offered him lift in his
carriage to Lady jerseys ball. THANK
you exceedingly" said the beau, but
how are you to go? You would not
like to get up behind, and l cannot be
seen in the same carriage with YOU"
He made no secret of his humble birth
and when asked about his parents de-
clared that the poor old creatures
both cut their threats years ago eat
ing peas with Il knife
Once at least Brummel met his
match. He was playing hazard at
Brooks, when Il we'll known alderman,
brewer, was one of the party.
Come Mashtub." said Brummel, who
was the caster, what's your bet?'
'Twenty-fve guineas," was the reply.
"Well, then, have at the mayors pony,"'
said Brummel, who proceeded to cast
and by run of luck won the stake
twelve times in succession. Pocketing
the money, he thanked the brewer and
promised that in future he would drink
no ones porter but his. II wish, sir"
replied the brewer, that every other

St. Petersburg, Nov. 16.-The physi-

the little railroad depot at Astapova
announced that the celebrated writer
was in a critical condition. 1t is
feared he cannot recover.
Tolstoi, attended by his lifelong

There is no hospital in the village
and few provisions for making the pa

Countess Tolstoi has not joined her
husband, though she is on his vast
estate at Yasnaya Polyana, only eighty
miles away. His wish that she should
not seek him out is as law to her,
though she has sent him an urgent
appeal, begging that she be allowed to
join him in his self-imposed exile.
