Why Dean Swift Didn't Go to Ascot.


Dean Swift was the earliest man of
note to make mentien of the historic
Ascot race meeting. 1t is in one Of
his Letters to Stella" In August, I'LL,
that the great Jonathan says he saw
place they have made for a famous
horse race tomorrow, when the queen
will come" But being tired with rid
ing trotting, mettlesome horse a
dozen miles, having not been on horse
back this twelvemonth," Swift deter
mined mot to go to the race unless /
can get room in some coach" AS he
was hindered by caller all the
coaches were filed before he could
reach one, and as a consequence the
world lost the description of that
earliest Ascot that only the author
of "Gullivers Travels" could have
penned.-London Spectator.

A seedy man, out at the elbows and

night in the park, stopped a gentleman
on the sidewalk and said:

Eased His Conscienca.

Dean auckland when at Westmin-
ster used to tell curious story of
a brown paper parcel which he re-
ceived one day by post. After many
wrappings had been unfolded he found
small black splinter Of oak about
an inch and half long. The writer
Of the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was a boy,
many years before. he had Clipped the
splinter off the coronation chair. AS
age advanced his conscience grew
troublesome, and he asked the dean
to be kind enough to restore the
splinter to its place.-Pall Mall Gazette

was clear. Clear? No: there must be
some mistake. How could anything
connect Lisa with that scene?
l staggered back from the beach to
some rocks and sat down. The north
wind, which had chilled me before.
was now not cool enough to drive the
fever from my temples.
II was some time after this-it might
have been five minutes, it might have
been an hOur-that sat up and
looked out. dazed. upon the ocean. |

sand. Some one was coming.
crouched in the shadow of the rocks.
A figure stood between me and the
simmer on the ocean. 1t was Lisa.
She was bent toward the beach as If
looking for something.

the letter.
Here is what you are looking for"
I said. at has explained all to me.

orable command under which you act.
1t is my life or yours. Mine it shall

She stood looking at me, her face
dimly lighted. her garments fluttering
In the wind. The moonlight made her
look paler even than 1t was.
"You came from the circle" l said.
'that was rash enough to join when
was a student. remember the
night when after consultation with
my father I told them that was to
be sent to America, and since | could
not serve them there | would resign
my membership. Then the chief re-
minded me that I could never resign.
Now he sends you to kill me as a de-
serter."

"Why," | stammered-"why would
you assume my burden?'
She turned and cast a glance out on
the ocean then up at the dome above
as II looking for some means of es-
cape from an inevitable doom. Then,
turning to me, she said,
Because | love you"
Here ends the story as told by Alexis
Olizoff. The residents of the place
where he met Lisa tells of how one
evening in face Of an approaching
storm two young people. Russian by
birth, took Il boat and pulled seward.
Night fell, and they were still riding
the waves. as was seen from the shore
by an occasional fash Of lightning. At
midnight the storm burst, and they had
not returned The next morning their
boat was found bottom upward on the
beach.
Neither Alexis nor Lisa were ever
seen again ut the resort nor IN Amer
ica. A month later q man. accom-
panied by his wife. walked into one
of the villages of North Dakota and
inquired where they might buy land.
A farm in the vicinity being for sale,
they purchased it and settled under
the name of Crane. No one ever heard
either husband or wife speak OF their
youth. their nationality or whence they
came to North Dakota. All this they
successfully buried in oblivion.
Recently the wife died. and the hus
band followed her within few
months There seemed to he some
thing that they had both borne together
that the man could not bear alone,
and this was given as the reason for
his death. There Is ssa reason now for
longer keeping their secret. They were

foolish for the sake Of being consistent, is ludi-
crous in it's weakness and the question arises as
to whether his folly manifested itself Monday
or last spring
Through It ali. however. it appears that Rep
resentatiye Sims. Of Tennessee, is the man to be
admired for voting according to his faith and
belief The same point having been involved in
the two struggles, Mr.. Sims voted the same way,
and in rebuking his Democratic brethren who
sought to justify their yacillation said Il am
one Of the ignorant, Who believed that the
Speaker was wrong then, and that he is wrong
now. And l would rather be ignorantly honest
than knowingly dishonest"
Such should have been the sentiment of each
and every Democrat who voted with the In
surgents ten months ago to relieve the House of
Representatives Of the dictatorship of a repre-
sentative Of interests which have kept him in
power almost quarter of a century.
