THE ARTIST'S. IDOL.

She Didn't Know Anything About Ma
 sic; She Only Loved It.
 The incident, happened upon one of the great ocean, liners during an au- tumn trip when a famous violinist was among the passengers. At first he firmly refused to play. but was finally persuaded, and. upon the appointed evening the salon was crowded with eager passengers.
 1t@waS a most enthusiastic audience, intelligent. sympathetic and apprecia- tive. yet as the evening wore on people began to notice; that the violinist's glance went always in one direction. and after a, time others followed 1t
 They saw asplain little woman. plain ly dressed, with no marks of wealth or culture But she: was looking at the master with shining eyes. her &aee wet with tears, unmindful of everything except the magic of his violin. When the program was ended. pushing his way through the people who would have detained him. the musician went straight to the little shabby figure.
 Madame. I congratulate you-you are ze great artist!' he cried.
 She looked up at him almost in alarm
 'I-Oh-I- cannot play a note," she stammered ''I don't know anything about music. only-love it."
 The violinist shook his big shaggy head impatiently.
 ''Is 1t not what say? You have ze artist soul-ze artist to listen. What good to play to ze deaf-like ze restY' with dispaEeging gesture toward the crowded ,om. "It is to ze one wiz Ee heart to listen zat we masters play" Youths Companion.

Romantic Story of the Worlds MoSt
 Al ,.lx.A

Romantic Story of the Worlds MoSt Famous Horse Market. The most famous horse mart in the world is Tattersall's ill London. A TO- mantle history attaches to this estab- -lishment ~
 In 17TG a certain Richard Tattersnll, "a wool cOmber of Yorkshire, who had lost his fortune during the Jacobite rebellion, obtained ninety-nine years lease of a tract of ground in London and thereon built an establishment for the sale of horses and hounds.
 Tattersall was on friendly terms with the prince regent, Lord Boiling broke and others whose patronage greatly aided tile enterprise. Such, in- deed, was the friendship between the prince and Tattersall that the bust of George on top. of the fountain in the sale yard was so,placed at the princes own request. s.. .r4,...s
 In due time huge slice of luck came Tattersall's way. Lord Boiling broke ran heavily into debt and by way of settlement passed on to Tat tersall his famous racer, Highfier, which became the father of three Der by winnets. The progeny of this horse in eighteen years are said to have won races to the value of no less than f170,- 900. Tattersall built himself a pala- tal country residence near Ely, call Ing it Highfiier Hall.
 Tattersall's came to be the headquar- ters for the laying of turf wagers. Immense sums were won and lost there. @ The Marquis of Hastings lost more than f10O,000 on one race alone, and, it is said, not infrequently similar amounts changed hands on settling days" at "Old Tatt's," or "the Corner" as the place was sometimes called.
 All classes" of society mingled at TattersaH's. Dukes and stable boys were brothets in the excited crowd, prepared to wager on anything and everything. This state of things led to such scandal that upon the expira- ton of the lease the firm was refused renewal Tn It's new establishment no betting was permitted.
 At the modern TattersalPs some enormous prices for racers are occa- sionally obtained. Flying Fox is said to have been sold to a French owner for .37, 300 guineas and Ormonde to an American for 30,OO0 guineas. Here also Scepter as yearIing was sold for 10000 guineas,' La Flechef for 12,600 guineas and Blair Athol for only, 100 guineas less.-Harper's Weekly.

 Nowhere in all the world today. can be founda as many confirmed drunk. ards as there were among the Thra. clans. the Iberians, the Celts. or. the Scythians. The, man. who didn't ge; drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers until they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feastR. The Rc. mans initiated the Greeks Then the whole world wentfon a mad drunk. Ii was Saturnalia. Caligula owes his niche in the hall of fame to the drunk. en banquetS with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such potentates as Ln- cullus, Nero.

PLUCK OF A DEER.
A Big Buck That Was More Than
 Match For a Cougar.

A Big Buck That Was More Than a
 Match For Cougar.
 1t seems to be generally assHmed that wild animals of different species keep the peace. but now and then the experience of some woodsman striking ly disproves this peaceful view of for est life.
 Two spOrtsmen made a trip to the Kettle river region, in the state of Washington, and in the course of the shooting witnessed a rare occurrence.
 They had been on the trail of large buck for some time and, as 1t chanced came in sight of him at the very mo ment when a cougar launched himself upon the buck from the limb of tree The cougar landed squarely on the bucks shoulders. almost throwing him to the ground
 The buck quickly recovered and. throwing back his head. drove. two prongs of his antlers into the cougars him to the ground Leaping backward he then waited with lowered head fo" second attack.
 With yell of rage and pain the cOu gar sprang upon him. He might as well have Ieaped against an. array of bayonets. for he was caught on the bucks antlers and hurled several feet into the air
 The instant he struck the ground the buck was upon him. striking savagely with his forefeet, which cut like knife blades. and driving his antlers again and again into his body.
 Finally they separated. and the cou. gar crawIed forward for the final struggle, The deer was wounded, but still in excellent fighting trim. The hunters interferrd One of them walked up ta the cougar aud shot it through the heslrt.- Exchange. ....

catchinn Radhot Rivats.

This would not seem to be pleasing occupation even if the rivet is caught in an old mail bag, yet the feat is con stantly performed by workmen. Or dinarily they catch rivets in a rivet keg or something of that sort. but there are men who catch rivets with pair of tongs-just reach out for them and nip a redhot rivet out of the air with the nipper part of the tongs in much the same way that bird nips flying feather out of the air with it's beak. The feat is commonly seen by persons who watch workmen on high buildings.-Harper's Weekly.
