While Gustave Dore was at Ischl

became much interested in a country
wedding and sketched 1t on the spot.
He put the sketch in a book in the
pocket OF his paletot and went back
to the hotel to dinner. After dinner
he looked for the sketch. 1t was gone

the landlord and made complaint, but
no trace OF the book was found. From

he found a letter and a parcel await.

nous, read thus:
Sir, / stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was 30 charming that / could not
resist the temptation of having 1t in my
possession, and knew very well that you
would never consent TO sell to me. But
theft is neither my trade nor my habit.
and 1 beg you to accept as a souvenir
of my crime and my enthusiasm for your
talent the walking stick which win reach
you at the same time as this letter.
The cane was a massive one with a
gold head, in which was set gem OF
value.
On another occasion the artist lost
his passport while on a tour in Swift
zerland. At Lucerne he asked to be al.

he gave his name.

Dore looked around him and saw
some peasants selling potatoes in the
street. With a few clever touches be

OLD RUSSIAN PRovERB.
Born of Ono Of the Most Tragic Epi'
sodes In Muscovite History.

sodes In MuscoVite 7fstory.
The Russian peasant has a sayine
which invariably puzzles the foreigner
TOO polite and die like Bekovitch.'
The proverb refers to one OF the most
tragic episodes in Muscovite history.
In the early spring of 1T17 Prince
Bekovitch Cheraski led an armed ex
petition consisting Of 1000 infantry
and 1000 cavalry into the then almost
unknown interior OF south central
Asia.
His ostensible object was 10 open ur
commercial relations with the khans oil
Khiva and Bokhara, his real one to
see If it were possible to invade India
from the north.
The prince. with whom were many
officers of the imperial bodyguard. a
brilliant company. marched his men
across the arid steppes with difficulty
and on Aug IL halted some eighty
miles from the city of khiva.
The Khivans. ignoring his profes
sions of friendship. attacked In force
but were easily defeated by the better
armed and better disciplined soldiers
of the car
Their khan thereupon resorted to
diplomacy. He visited the Russian
camp in state. explained that the at
tack delivered by his people was all
a mistake and invited Prince Beko.
witch and his principal officers to visit
his capital as his guests.
Two days later. at grand entertain
ment. the khan toasted his friends the
Russians and vowed eternal friend
ship. He also took the opportunity OF
requesting Prince Bekovitch to divide
his army into small detschments for
entertainment in the surrounding vii
lagos. regretting the inability of bis
capital to entertain so many guests.
The Russian commander politely
agreed to the politely preferred request
the Russian force was broken up. and
the khan laughed sardonically.
His turn had come. Early next day
he killed Bekovitch and forwarded his
head as a gift to the khan of Bokhara
Then he annihilated the Russian army

Washington. February 3.-Republican Leader Mann's success in tying up the democratic House through manipulation of the new discharge calendar" which was part of the reform programme adopted 1T; the last Congress resulted today in the presentation of an amendment by Chair man Henry of the rules committee.
 The House took up the rules and then began two hours fight over it. It pro poses to change those rules adopted last year. The present operation of the rule to discharge committees instead of oper- ating to prevent the killing of bills in coni- mittees has resulted in congestion ci business on the socalled "discharse days
 Republican Leader Mann has repeated iy intimated to the democratic side thai he would show how the new reformed rule was not workable.

 You are yourself. replied MT. Dalzel of Pennsylvania.

Hobson to address joint sessions and on different days MT. Hobson February 16, and MT. Underwood when he can spare the time to come to Jackson. In view of the fact that an Underwood club was or ganized at N1llsaps college a day or two ago with 40 members at the first meeting, 1t would seem that Underwood stock has gone up since the row be- tween Mr. Watterson and Governor Wilson, and he will be given rous- ing reception at Mississippfs capital. A great many Underwood buttons are now seen in the capitol and about towL.
