UNIQUE CASE OF FlLIAL LOVE
To Help His Mother a Pennlless No
bleman "Trles" Clown Act In
Paris Theater.

Visitors to Paris who have recently
wandered by chance into one Of the
cafe concerts" which are mostly fire.
quented by that class who neither toll
nor spin. must have been amazed and
saddened by very unusual music
hall turn, writes the Paris correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle. Every
night. between the Sentimental ten
or" and the "chanteuse legere," a
mournful looking young man appears.
He is greeted with derisive yells.
He sings, or tries to sing, a senti-
mental ballad and comic song. He
also initiates animals, the noises Of
tools and the whistling of locomotives.
The effect is SO deplorable that the
audience recently insisted on the mo-
BILE clown" apologizing for his lack Of
skill. He humbly advanced to the
footlights and bowed to right. left and
before him. Then in a voice choked
with sobs, he began to express his re-
greet. With pathetic resignation he
went down on his knees, offered pro-
fuse apologies for his lack of skill and
promised to do his best to please them
in the future.
Few who have seen this lamentable
exhibition know its origin and ex-
cuse. This abject buffoonery is in
spired by one of the noblest motives
filial love. This descendant of one of
the Oldest and noblest families in Ven
Ice was left alone, when very young,
with his infirm and penniless mother.
For many years they lived on the
charity of friends, but the old woman
Is now in such health that admission
Into an almshouse would be the only
means of saving her life. But this
cannot be obtained without the pay
ment of certain sum, and her son

TransmlsslblIIty of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and

the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which

the fact that the child of a union
SO richly lowered, from the literary

traces of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-

that genius not only has way of

HORACE GREELEY NOT PARricu.
LAR As TO FOODS He ATE.
Amusing Stories Told by the LITE
WhlteIaw Reid Concerning the
EccentrIcItIes Of His Famous
Chief at Table.

Several Of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid, used to relate Of Horace Gree
ley. his old chief on the Tribune, have
recently been going the rounds Of the
press. Most of them refer to his Pc
culiarities in the Office; few to those
he displayed in company, especially at
table, where his Observation-Disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper
with a daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. 1t was simple, and
there were plenty of the graham things
that he advocated SO ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there
were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr..
Greeley's eye fastened upon them at
once, and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand, he reached for
a hot ROLAND then for another. As
he began on third, his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted to see
that he liked her rolls, but that she
had thought he did not eat such things.
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unperturbed re-
1oinder; and he made his entire meal
of the delicious but indigestible rolls
that his own decree had banished from
the Greeley home-leaving a scant few
for his table companions, who had to
exc out their supper with the unde-
sired gems.
But If he was funny when he knew
what he ate, he was funnier when he
did not-as in the famous episode Of
the crullers, which occurred at the
table Of his boarding house. When the
crullers were passed to him, instead
of taking a single cruller, he accepted
the entire basket and absently placed
1t in his lap as he continued his dis
course. Presently, vaguely aware of
something there, his hand wandered
downward and encountered cruller.
This he mechanically grasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
of what he was doing, he ate and
talked, and talked and ate; cruller
after cruller disappeared until the bas-
ket was empty. The company were
convulsed with suppressed merriment;
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account of possible results, remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap, she put in it's place
a plate Of cheese, trusting to Provi-
dence that his habituated hand would
continue its action. 1t did. His talk
flowed on, but his fingers found the
cheese, and it, too, disappeared to the
last crumb.
Those who saw the sight," it ia
declared, were firm in the belief that
Mr.. Greeley did not know he had eaten
that evening."-Youth's Com.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO RI.
AN AUTOMOBILE

With little ingenuity and by put
ting his mind to 1T, doubtless a man
can make an automobile costly enough
TO satisfy the most exaeting notions.
The wear and tear of tires accomplish
ed by the average "joy ride" is some
thing to excite admiration and invite
emulation on the part of the less am
bilious, and altogether the range of
automobile habits is so great that it
isn't possible to standardize cost of
maintenance
But we may suppose that the eau
tious driver, who has to watch oil
bills and extras generally and who
owns a small car, knows something
about the minimum expense of opera.
tion. The Independent, speculating as
to tn ecost of running a $1,000 car for
a year, shows chiefly how futile it is
to speculate. After putting the mini
mum annual cost at $500, the Inde-
pendent says that it will be reasonable
to assume that the owner of a $1,000
motor should provide for the annual
expenditure of sum equal to the first
cost. 1t then quotes the estimate of
some makers that the operation and
upkeep ought not to exceed 80 per
cent of the original cost, or $780, The
Independent IS figures are based on an
operating expense of 10 cents a mile
a figure which can't be accepted as
final, since the range is very great,
sinking in some cases below 10 and
soaring to 20. One users estimate on
a thirty horsepower touring ear, used
for pleasure, was cents. For 5000
mile run his expense would be but
$3.50, whereas at the 20-cent average
the amount would be $1,000. This dis
erepancy shows how difficult it is to
convey much by figures. Moreover,
there is the difference between states
where the ear can be used the year
round and those where its use in win
ter is much urtailed.-Chieago Rec
