GO HE has the evil eye" said Dumas,
y "she viii bring curse upon any
man who loves her."
History knows the beautiful woman
of whom he spoke as Lola Montez,
but she was christened Elizabeth. the
daughter of an Irish woman and Lord
Byron, by the left hand. Afterward
the mother married and went to In
dia with her soldier husband. When
the girl was sixteen, her mother came
back to England for a time, and the
young mistress proceeded TO run
away, marrying soldier and depart
ing for India.
Elizabeth left India, stopped in
Spain, and changed her name to Lola
Montez. She studied dancing and de-
termined to storm London. Her APP
pearance in. 1S43 was heralded as a
great event, but she could not dance.
Her failure brought Kisses, and she re-
turned to the continent, wandering
through Germany and Belgium. Then
she went to Warsaw. She conceived the
idea of calling herself Pole, for
whom everybody felt sympathy be-
cause of their struggle for liberty
So Lola came to Paris, under another
mare, and started to dance. Once
more Kisses greeted her. 1t was the
last straw. She few into fury, tore
off her slippers and garters, and threw
them at the audience.
Paris had been won. Lola, dropping
her other name, became the fashion
Of the day. An editor was killed in
duel about her, and Dumas pro-
nounced the line quoted above, which
drove her from the capital, She next
turned up in Munich and enslaved old
King Ludwig Then folly took hold
of her. She started to rule yhe state
and soon got into water so deep that
she almost lost her life. A mob sur
rounded her palace and angrily de-
manded that she come out. Lola
came, in her nightgown, pistol in
hand. She emptied the contents into
the crowd and barely escaped the
mobs fury when Ludwig arrived at
the head of the royal bodyguard. She
had to fee, and Ludwig lost his
throne.
Lola had exhausted Europe. She
came to New York and tried again to
dance. Once more she failed, and
went West, dipping into the mining
camps for while, then on to Aus
tralia, and finally back to New York.
Now she lies in Greenwood cemetery,
Brooklyn, and not even an epitaph
marks her simple headstone.

The Artists Choice.

In the career of every artist there
comes a supreme moment when he
or she must choose between two serv-
ices-the service of art or the service
of self. While the artist is actually
studying and qualifying, this choice
is hardly offered; he is all artist
then, because he is learning and try
ing to grasp and achieve command
of his art; the artist is always a
learner, and the true learner is in
some degree an artist. But with
achievement and mastery come recog-
milton and applause, come oppor-
tunity and power The artist has be-
come master, teacher, endowed
with that subtle quality thar lays
the world at his bidding, when he
may either make his followers glorify
him or glorify his art The choice
is between serving his art or making
it serve him. For the artist who re-
mains true there can be no choice ;
he must go on serving and learning.

HOW GREEN GAGE GOT NAME
Succulent Fruit Having Its Now
Well Known Appelation.

Not one person in a thousand who
enjoys the small green plum which
goes by the name of the green gage,
ever connects the fruit with an old
manor house in Suffolk, England. A
beautiful, old house it is, Hengrave
hall, which in the time of Charles ii
was settled by the Countess Rivers
upon her daughter Penelope, who
married Sir John Gage. Her third
son, Edward Gage, who was created
baronet by King Charles in 1862,
inherited Hengrave. and his descend
ants after him.
The gardens were on magnificent
scale and everything that, was new In
the horticultural world found its way
to Hengrave. In this way, among 9th
er plants and fruit trees small
plum tree was sent to the gardener,
who planted ii without much care or
thought, and without noticing that
the label which ought to have been
attached was missing. When the lit
tie tree began to bear fruit it was
seen that it was something in the way
of a novelty. little, round, green
plum, that was not known to anyone
in Suffolk and until some account
could be obtained of il the name, the
Gage plum, or TO distinguish II from
others, the green gage plum, was used
and became general. - Christian

For the origin Of that famous street
In London known as Pail Mall, we can
bark back and take peep into the
diary Of that remarkable man, Sam
uel Pepys. On April 2, 1861, he says,
''To st. James park, where ! saw the
duke Of York playing at Pelene.e, the
first time that ! ever saw the sport"
The dukes brother, King Charles,
had recently formed what Is called
the mall for the playing Of this game,
which was new In England, as there
had previously existed a walk for
that purpose on the ground occupied
by the street now known as Pail Mall.
The game was introduced from
France, but the name appeared to be
from the italian "palamaglio" and
was played with ball and mallet
along straight alley and through a
ring elevated about IL feet on an arm
extending from a standard. The game
somewhat resembles golf, as the win
ner is he who effects this object in
the smallest number Of strokes. The
mallet is somewhat similar to the one
used In croquet, the handle being
much longer and the face so inclined
es to raise the ball when struck. This
ball was about inches in diameter

serious riots took place I'm Ber-

was transformed into strongly
armed fort, and early in the year
the kapp coup d'etat took place.

Ebert proclaimed a general
strike: the proclamation discour-

lished.
At the June elections the ma
