RR Bellefonte, Pa., September 13, 1907. NERVE OF THE HAUGHTY DON Striking Description of the Daring and Courage Displayed by the Old Gen- eral Who Would Not Permit an Eng- lishman to Outdo Him, The realistic Spanish novelist, Valdes, in one of his most popular stories (“Sister San Suplice,” trans- lated by Nathan Haskell Dole) gives a description of a retired Spanish gen- eral's afternoon out which will fllu- minate many chivalric incidents in Spanish life and aptly filustrates the reckless daring and courage of which the average haughty don Is liberally possessed. The scene is a sort of ple- nic grounds in the outskirts of Seville: “Meantime the animation had been on the increase among the ruffians. The period of unmannerly action had come. One of them climbed upon a | table to make a speech, and then the others, by way of applause, threw sherry and manzanilla in his face. Another was trying to lift with his teeth a companion whom drunkenness had stretched out on the floor. He did not succeed. He merely tore his sack coat, absurd and extravagant actions, mak- ing a great noise and uproar, “The count remained grave and silent, drinking one glass of sherry after another. But his eyes were no longer, as usual, incomprehensible and unfathomable, like those of a man tired ! of life. Though he did not speak or move about he seemed a different ' man. “The Englishman had taken off his jacket and waistcoat and, rolling up his shirt sleeves, was exhibiting his biceps, which were really powerful, and trying to break empty bottles on his arm. Once blood had come, but he went on breaking the bottles without paying any attention to it. Then he Still others were committing ’ | ble. “The women uttered a cry of terror. ' All of us men ran to their assistance. | A few left the place in search of help. ! In an instant our booth was filled with | blood. From the wounds great drops | of blood streamed, staining the hand- kerchiefs which we applied to them, “A doctor who happened to be among bystanders dressed the wounds ! provisionally with the few means at ‘ his disposal, The count smiled while | they were dressing his band. The ! Englishman was as sick as a horse, | and soon the count was the same, and ! both were taken to such rooms as the establishment had to offer and went 'to bed. Every one left, commenting | on the barbarism of the deed.” and drove it through both into the ta- Hit Harder. ' vessel,” she remarked, “and yet"— “Well? she queried as she hesitated “And yet.” she continued, “man ¥ the oftener broke.” Exchange. Be rich in patience if thou in goof | be poor.—Dunbar. The Hanging of Pictures. A woman bought three pictures in a Fifth avenue art store. “Shall I send some one up to hang ! them?" asked the dealer. “I—I don’t know.” hesitated the wo- man, who had already exceeded her al- lowance in buying the pictures. “How much extra will it cost?” “Not a cent,” the dealer assured her. “In the case of any important sale we prefer that one of our men superin- tend the hanging of the picture. That insures justice for the painting. With- out meaning any disrespect for our customers, I must say that not one per- son in a hundred who has had no spe- ' elal instruction in art can take a ple- ture home and place it in an advan- tageous position. A man who has been trained to that business, on the other hand, can tell at a glance where to hang it and all the others in the room so that each will bring out the best points of all the rest.”—New York Sun. = asked the waiter to bring a bottle of | rum and a large glass, He filled this to the brim with the liquor, aud then | slowly, without moving a muscle or even winking, he drained it to the bot- tom. Then he sat down at the table opposite the count and sald solemniy: “You can't do that. “A flash of fury gleamed through the harebrained nobleman’s eyes, but he succeeded in restraining himself, and, turning the rest of the bottle into the glass, he calmly ordered the wait- er to bring him some pepper. He threw in a pinch of it, then threw into it his cigar ashes heaped up before him and. without saying a word, with the same scornful, contemptuous smile, drained the glass and, not content with that, bit it in pieces. We saw his lips spotted with blood. The company re- celved with oles and shouts of tri nmph this proof of an unconquerable stomach, in which it seemed as though the national honor were concerned, “Our neighbors in the other hLooths must have reached the same happy grade of temperature, for nothing was heard but extravagant shouts, the crashing of glasses, coarse laughter and swearing. “The count was not yet satisfied with his victory over the Englishman. While he was swallowing with appar- ent calmness the glasses of liquor which were offered to him he did not cease to devour him with his eyes, carried away by a dull madness, which soon broke out. His eyes, which were the only part of his impassive face that moved, gleamed more and more ferociously, like those of a madman when a straitjacket has been put on him. The Englishman continued to boast of his strength. He was now thoroughly intoxicated and talking im- pudenMy enough to the others, who were not so drunk. “80 vou are very valiant, are you? asked the count, still smiling disdain- fully. “ More than you,’ retorted the Eng- lishman. “Don Jenaro started to spring at him, but the others restrained him. Soon calming himself, he said: “+f vou are so brave, why not put your hand on the table? “ ‘What for? “To pin it down with mine. “The Englishman without an in- stants hesitation stretched out his huge, brawny hand. The count took out of his pocket a damaskeened dag- ger and laid his delicate, gentlemanly hand on the Englishman's, and with- out hesitation and with a ferocious grip he raised the point with the other Roadside Wit. deed a lively task before him, for Cole- ridge was never caught napping. The | poet was so awkward a horseman that | his riding often attracted comment of anything but a complimentary nature. . One day he was riding along the turn- i pike road in the county of Durham | when a wag who met him fastened upon him as an excellent subject for sport. Consequently he drew rein and said in an impertinent drawl: “My graceful friend, did you happen | to meet a tailor on the road?” “I'm inclined to think I did,” said Coleridge meditatively. “I was not sure at the moment, but he said some- thing about my meeting a goose far- ther along the road.” The wag put spurs to his horse, and the poet jogzed calmly on his way. Past Salaries of Actors. A number of autograph letters of Edmund Kean supply some interesting information nbout the salaries of actors early in the nineteenth century. One relates to an offer by Mr. Ellison offer- ing Kean £3 a week as acting man- ager of “the new theater in Wych street.” Later this rose to £25 a month. In 1826 Kean was offered $12,000 a year to go to America. In the prime of his popularity he received £200 for a week in Edinburgh and apparently reached the highest point when Mr. Bunn wrote from the Theater Royal, Dublin, on Feb. 8, 1820, and offered him £30 a night to play in Dublin and Cork.—Liverpool Mercury. Home Influences. Each one of us is bound to make the little circle in which he lives better and happier; each one of us is bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow; each of us may have fixed in his mind the thought that out of a single household may flow influences which shall stimulate the whole commonwealth and the whole civilized world.—Dean Stanley. Got Too Important, “What has become of the maid you ' thought such a prize?” | “Oh, I had to let her go!” replied the second fashionable woman. “After her operation for appendicitis she thought she was one of us.”—Philadel- phia Ledger. ~—Sahseribe for the WATCHMAN.

Mr. Gerrish was in a merrie mood. Not having his thots about him, he en- deavored ye dangerous performance of gaping and laughing at ye same time. In doing so he set his jaws open in | such a wise that it was beyond his | power to bring them back again.

Once while in a foreign port Admiral | Dewey ordered the heaviest holsting tackle in the ship to be got out of the hold without delay. Nobody knew what it was for, as there was nothing just at that time, either heavy or light, to be taken on board or sent ashore. After two hours’ hard work the tackle was in place, and Dewey then ordered that a large chew of |° tobacco which had been thrown under ‘one of the guns be hoisted overboard ‘and dumped into the sea. i I could | Helpless.
