A Notorious English spendthrift.

Among the customers at Longs, the
famous hotel in Bond street. was the
last Marquis Of Hastings. the most
notorious Of Victorian spendthrifts.
Hastings, according to one who knew
him well. "gambled so that not even
the Bank Of England. backed by the
Rothschilds. with the mines of the
Transvaal as additional supports, could
have Withstood the strain
Yet even he protested at Longs when
charged Is. Cd. for a whisky and soda.
The proprietor declared that this had
always been the charge. About time
it was altered. then" retorted the mar
quis. Just before his death Hastings
remarked to a friend: I've made a
pretty hash Of my life. About all the
good I've ever done was to bring down
the price of a whisky and soda at
Longs" -London Express.

Injured While Riding With EI-Presi-
dent and Son Near Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay, n. Y. October Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt is confined to the
house to-day by injuries received last
Saturday, afternoon. when she was
thrown from her saddle horse. The
absence of the entire Roosevelt family
from church yesterday caused inquir-
les. which to-day brought the first
news of the accident outside the fam
lily circle.
The mishap occurred on the road
between this village and Sycamore
Hill. Mrs. Roosevelt was riding with
Colonel Roosevelt and their son
Archie. Something startled Mrs
Roosevelts mount. which reared and
threw her. Mrs. Roosevelt struck
heavily on her head and shoulders.
Her foot was caught in the stirrup.
but she was not dragged. as her hus-
band and son both had the horse by
the head almost before its forefeet hit
the ground. and quickly released Mrs
Roosevelt from her perilous position.
Mrs. Roosevelt was taken home un
conscious. She was said to-day to be
recovering rapidly, but probably 1t
will be several days before she can
leave the house.

And they blessed him in their pain,
that they were not lett to
Spain,
To the thumbscrew and the rack, for

Scarcely had Sir Richard completed
his task when the Spanish feet, carry
ing 5000 sailors, hove in sight. Then
the sturdy British tars, hankering for
q tussle with the Dons, inquired Of
their eader:
shall we fight or shall we fly?
Good Sir Richard, tell us now,
For to fight is but to die
There'n be little Of us left by the time

And sir Richard said again: 1--WE be
all good Englishmen.
Let US bang these dogs of Seville, the

Cheer after cheer from the threats
of the British seamen greeted this

Wounded to the death as he lay

And the gunner said "Ay, ay.' but
the Gamer made reply:
We have children. we have wives,
Ana the Lord hath spared our lives,
We will make the Spaniards promise,
if we yield, to let US go;
We shall live to fight again and to
strike another blow"
And the lion there lay dying, and they
yielded to the foe.
And the stately spanish men to their
flagship bore him then,
Where they laid him by the mast, old
Sir Richard caught at last.
And they praised him to his face with
their courtly foI eign grace;
But he rose upon their decks, and
he cried:

he died.

To Be Presented in Muskogee Wednes-
day And Thursday Evenings
February And 9.

The management of the Hinton
Theatre, Muskogee, Okla, have ar
ranged with Klaw & Erlanger for the
presentation of Lew Wallace's power
full religio-historic spectacle, Ben
Hur," Wednesday and Thursday even
ings and Thursday matinee, February
s and 8.
Ben Hur," with its lustrous Star
of Bethlehem its camels, Arabian
steeds, Oriental trappery and mimic
splendor of the gorgeous east, is be.
yond doubt the most elaborate spec
tacle ever staged in the history of the
world. Its series of scenes present to
the eye feast of multifarious beauty
and variety all set to a symphonic ac-
compartment of graceful music. The
exciting episodes, such as the galley
scene with its horde of chained slaves,
the sea fight, the rescue in mid-sea,
the thrilling race with its quadruple
teams of galloping horses, combined
with the picturesque scenes represent
ing the appearance of the Star to the
Wise Men in the Desert, the moonlit
lake i'm the Orchard of Palms, where
Ben Hur and Iras make love while
drifting in the barge of the fair
Egyptian, the palm-waying worship
pers on the Mount of Olives, simply
eaptiyate the great audiences that are
nightly in attendance wherever it is
being enacted.
As now arranged and staged by
Klaw & Erlanger, the public sees a
great spectacle which appeals now
merely on the strength of its drama
tic values, but as colossal and pic
turesque pageant. And in the chariot
race, the scene which, coupled with
the popularity of General Wallace's
book. gave the play its enormous
vogue, eight horses, aided by the most
intricate mechanisms, produce the
