Thackeray's Disfigured Nose.

The usual account of how Thack-
cray was disfgured says that Venables
broke the novelist's nose in a fair
fight. John Ward in Notes and Que
ries supplies another version. About
a year after Thackeray's death Mr..
Ward was travelling on one of the
main railways and had as companions
two old ladies who knew Thackeray
we'll. One of them said the novelist
had told them this story:
Being one Of the youngest pupils
(at Charterhouse), he was chosen by
one Of the older lads. a rather proud
aristocrat in his way. to act as his
fag. Thackeray bore it as we'll as he
could. but demurred to some more ar
bitrary command than usual and fatty
refused to obey, whereupon the young
:aristocrat' caught Thackeray up, held
his head under his arm and with the
heel of his boot used as a hammer
beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite
fat with his face-in fact. breaking
and 1njuring its structure completely
the excuse being, You'll clean my
boots next time, SIR"
Before his injury Thackeray was,
the same authority says, remarkably

They are such as are made up of two
parts of similar form. Look carefully
at these and you will perceive that the
upper halves of the characters are a
very little smaller than the lowe?
halves, so little that. at mere glance,
you would declare them to be of equal
size., Now turn this page upside down,
and without any careful looking you
will see that the difference in size Is
very much exaggerated-that the real
top half Of the letter is very much
smaller than the other half. It will be
seen by this that there Is a tendency
in the eye to enlarge the upper part
Of any object upon which it looks.
Thus two circles of unequal size might
be drawn and so placed that they
would appear exactly alike.-New York

SULLIVAN USED
MALLET ON HOPES

New York, July 1.-THE statement
that John l.. Sullivan wore eighty
ounce gloves when he knocked out all
corners in his famous tour Of the conn
try when he held the championship OF
the world has stirred up several old
timers. Tradition says that a maIorftv
OF Suliivan's victims were SO frighten-
ca by the glare In Johns eyes that
they were beaten before they left their
corners. All Sullivan had to do was
10 walk up to each antagonist, smite
MIN on the chin and let the ambulance
surgeon do the rest. 1t is a matter of
ring history that during this memoir
able tour, in which Sullivan offered $50
to anyone who stayed four rounds. he
knocked out fully 500 would-be light
ers.
These feats Of pugilistic skill earned
great renown for the Boston Strong
Boy and incidentally made it hard To
understand why John L. assiduously
refused to enter the ring with Peter
jackson, Frank p. Slavin, Joe Goddard
George Godfrey and others who were
at their best in those days. A surpris-
ing clew to the mystery, however was
furnished by a prominent sporting man
VINO said he got his facts from the man
who managed Sullivan on his all-com-
ers tour to the coast The manager Is
dead; but this is the story the SPORTING
man says he told him:
1t frequently happened that sulli-
van found tough customer among the
Fellows looking for the $50 and we had
an effective way Of disposing of him.
Nearly all these four round affairs took
place in theatres, and Sullivan had two
husky guys, each armed with wooden
mallet, one on each side Of the stage in
the wings.
III John found that his man was
troublesome, he rushed him to the
wings on either side and the fellow
with the mallet gave him clip on the
dome that took all the fight out of
him. John then put on the finishing
touches and staIked proudly to his
dressing room. have no doubt that at
least 200 hopes were disposed of an
that manner. OF course, If 1t was an
parent that Sullivan's antagonist was
a novice, John sailed into him and
quickly put him away"
